Finally!

We finally got some rain last night. 2 inches, in fact! And with the rain came cooler temperatures... it is 20 degrees cooler at noon today than at noon yesterday! That's right, it was only 75 at noon. Two nights ago it was still 92 degrees at 10:30 pm. Our electric bill for only 20 days was nearly $100, and just about ALL of it was for A/C --- and the thermostat is set at 80 during the day. (We don't need lights during the day because we have so many windows, and we only use a lamp or two at night.) Unfortunately it appears that it won't stay this cool... mid- to high-90s all next week with no rain in sight. *ugh*
