Cool morning conservation

Missouri has been spared much of this summers' heat but last week was hot and humid here so I used the AC. At 5am it's 69°. Had I paid attention to the forecast I would have opened my windows last night. A missed opportunity.

To conserve energy I usually turn the AC off at night and just run fans so it warms up a good bit. It was 80° in here this morning. A bit stuffy but tolerable. I stepped outside to heat some water for coffee and was met by the more humid but much cooler outside air. And of course, the birdsong. There's nothing quite as cheerful as birds singing in the morning. Good morning birds!And off in the distance the occasional twang of frogs around the lake.

I've taken the opportunity to open my windows and turn the window fan on to freshen the air up and cool the cabin down without the AC.

Cool morning air and coffee in the company of bird song and frog conversation is a good morning.

I don't have comments but I love email or you can find me on Mastodon.
