New York State is a beautiful state and I like living here most of the time. Disclaimer: Here comes a complaint. It is extremely hot this week, Hotter than some cities in Tennessee. I am looking forward to a cooler day forecast three days from now, going down to 84 degrees Fahrenheit.So I’ve been watering flowers early in the day and heading back inside before 11 a.m., like I used to do when I lived in TX. Our air-conditioner is still in the box down cellar, but I have hope it will make its way up the stairs and into the kitchen window. When and how are a mystery to me, but hope usually prevails, even if it’s later in the summer than I anticipate. 🙂Â
