27 Dec 10 Laundry
So back to the usual stuff!
Today it’s time to do some laundry after the water pipes to the garage were frozen yesterday. Woke up to 21F here yesterday morning, but today it’s a balmy 37!
So I put the smaller stuff in the dryer, and I got the larger stuff, and put it on the washing line.
In my opinion, clothes are always better for a good dose of fresh air, drying on the line in the back yard, than tumbling around in the heat of a dryer.
I think all that tumble drying wears your clothes out quicker too.
Anyway, drying in the fresh air saves a shedload of electricity as well, so it can’t be a bad thing to do.
Isn’t using wind power supposed to be a good thing these days anyway?
Perhaps we should look at bring back wind power for many more applications?
Some say I’ve always got too much wind, but that’s not nice is it?

11 Dec 08 Lowcountry Weather – Is It Me, Or Is It Weird?
Although I don’t keep weather records or follow the weather as closely as fellow local blogger Jared W. Smith does, even I can’t help but notice how weird the weather has been around here lately.
We seemed to go rapidly from an air-conditioned summer to a ‘lets put some heat on’ cold fall.
OK, I know it’s all relative, and that folks up North don’t think that 40 is cold, but for someone that has grown accustomed to the warm southern climate, I’ve gotten to feeling that anything under 50 is too cold for my liking.
Anyway, today, I’m sitting here in my home office, with all the doors and windows open, and the temperature outside as I write this, and according to my weather widget on the computer here, is a very pleasant 71F.
Only thing is, it keeps raining, so it’s not really time to head for the beach, and there’s now a Tornado Watch in effect. How common is that in December?
I have to admit, that, Tornado threats aside, I’m not complaining. My take on the weather is Screw The Seasons! I like it nice and warm, and low to mid 70s is jsut right in my view. Warm enough to open the doors and have some fresh air circulating, and not that hot we have to run the a/c.
If it stays like this until next summer, I’d be a happy bunny, but I’m sure Jared can tell you a lot more about the prospects of that than can I.

The smell of fresh vegetables cooking in the pot or the steamer.
That I have the doors and windows open, and am enjoying the cool fresh air wafter through the place.
It’s quiet and peaceful right now. All I can hear is the fountain outside, and the occasional quack of a duck.
