The temperatures are creeping upward here in Paradise.  After a wonderful week of eindows open to the sweet breezes, the air conditioner came on in full force, last night.  We ended the day in the upper 80's and it looks like another day of like temperatures.  Before you gasp, upper 80's and air conditioner?  Remember the humidity here is about 75 %  and it makes for a bit of a sticky mess if you are moving around at all.  But the birds are snging and for a bit this morning, the windows are open to the breeze and when it heats up to swelter, the air conditioner will buzz.  I have cut back driving to make sure to be able to afford that luxury. 

My granddaughter turned 4 yesterday and she is such a pixie.  My other granddaughter is 7 and she is my gentle sprite.  I love them both and we are alive and kicking here in Paradise!
