Living in Season....August 2008
I've heard of eating in season, going green, etc. But this year we are living in season. It started this spring because our central air conditioning unit is dying a slow death. It is original to this house built in 1984. We have lived her for 7 years and have had to have it repaired every year that we have lived here. It'll cost about eight to ten thousand to replace it, but it has cost us thousands to repair it over the years. So this year we just let it go. We have not turned it on and we live in Virginia...part of the South. It isn't the deep South, but it is hot and humid none the less. Well, we are super heat loving people so we purchased a few window A/C units...they are so different from the ones my folks had...popped them in the bedrooms, my basement studio and the family room. We turn them on as needed. Well so far this season, we have used them, but we don't always turn them on. We have been comfortable...sweated alot more than in years past, but we have also found that the body does adapt. The heat isn't bothering me as bad as in years past. I get up to the sound of the crickets and the morning doves and I can hear the rustle of the deer in the woods....ah it is a lovely sound. I actually feel more in touch with the earth and the sky and the wind. I also feel a bit of a modern pioneer in a sense. All of my neighbors are shut up, sealed up and one can hear the electric whirr and gear changing of their A/C compressors. I'm not braggin, just relating that it really is nice to be changing, to living in season. Oh, and an unexpected benefit? My husband opened the power bill yesterday and announced that we used half of the energy than we used during the same time last year! Now that is a good green feeling!!!
A Wedding Gown I did for a dear friend.
She looked like a fairy princess! That is the look we were going for.
How many friends have stopped by my house?

You know, I'm liking all types of aprons~they all have their purposes. So I voted "doesn't matter" Bonne
I voted for "Doesnt matter", because I love any style apron...

Love the red hair - I've always wanted to do it - but been too skeered!!!
Love you all,
J
Thank you all so very much for taking the survey and signing up!!
Well, I love any and all kinds of aprons.I tend to lean towards a full one for my own use. I was going to vote but it says the polls are down since last night.
You do look good in red. ;)
Hi Aunt George,
The corn colors and the kitchen are so pretty, so are you, and I love your aprons, half or full. Your daughter is funny for signing up, don't go in the bathroom when they are home. You are a very sweet person, always making the rest of us feel good. Did I WIN YET???
NANCY JO
Love the color of your blog and your new hair! I voted for Full... I am messy so I am all about the most being covered!
P.S.
Litle reminder but the Soap Swap is Due Aug 31!
Hi, Just wanted to say, that it really doesn't matter what type of apron I have one, as long as it covers some part of my clothes. Also, it seems that each style has a purpose; for instance...I wouldn't wear a full over the head apron if I was having a good hair day and a half one always seems to be more of a fun/party type of apron. I just don't know...I have a lot of each and I use them according to my mood (and occasionally for what I'm cooking).
