The weather in NY is heating up to it's normal summer temperatures. The air conditioners are all in the windows and we are as ready as we can be for the onslaught of above 90 degree weather and the awful humidity.
We don't have central air. We have a cape that has no attic and is mostly brick. It was utterly cost prohibitive when we looked into it (three separate times). There is no easy solution to installing it. I can't imagine losing the front closet for the duct work. Thus, we live in the dark, with the sound of fans going, for two months a year with our overworked window units.
I am not a heat lover. I like warmth and anywhere up to the mid-70's is always delightful, but as it gets hotter, I get cranky. The thought of cooking makes me crazy. And I need to remind myself to be kind, especially to my family because they get my moods thrown at them like a potter throws clay on a wheel. Being at work will be very good for me.
And so, on what is the beginning of the lazy, hazy, days of summer I will remind myself to be kind. Because it's cool to be kind.

Bella's Itinerary Today:
Pu'uhonua o Honaunau and Kealakekue Bay
See the sites and take a 3-1/2 hour cruise of the bay. Snorkeling today.
I bet the underwater camera gets some use.
Below is a shot of where they had breakfast this morning.

It's not that Peter's life is dull - it's just baseball, baseball and more baseball. He's working at a local camp as the assistant director of sports. He is also working at a local restaurant as a bus boy. Much of July is spent on the road for baseball, so perhaps I wil have video to share of that too.
I know, I know, Sly & The Family Stone did the original of this.
But, SO much of this makes me nostalgic; mostly the hair on Daryl Hall!
Plus, you get to sing along at the end.
