I have to go outside to take care off my feather & fur critters, so I get some sun, but it's not comfortable enough to just sit out there.
Staying home is great, but not with my husband underfoot every day, all day. Good thing it looks like I'm going back to work next week. It's a non-people job - I mostly get to drive around all day.  |
Yes, I'm lucky to live in South Florida. It's summer here -- actually the dry season. Rain will come probably mid-May. The flora I planted in my half-acre in paradise are mostly native and long established species and definitely xeriscape vegetation.
We live without the AC. We both grew up here before AC was a standard feature in homes, almost nobody had it. We never got used to it. And since fresh air is healthier than AC air, we are less prone to sickness while we save money and lower our carbon footprint.
The windows are open, a gentle sea breeze is drifting through, and I'm listening to Cardinals, Blue Jays, Buntings, Woodpeckers, Mourning Doves and Mockingbirds singing to each other and it seems like they are singing to me.
My wife and I are lucky, 24/7/365 is not too much time to spend together - actually it's not enough. So the bright side of this economic self-isolation is that all the things that separate us from time to time are no longer an issue.
42 years of bliss -- and counting.
Bonnie and others going back to work, be careful and stay healthy.
