Random Reason to Rejoice #3

Those glorious periods at the beginning and end of summer when there is no need for either artificial heating or cooling.

No barrier is required between inside and out.We leave the windows open all night, admitting the lovely nocturnal coolness and the unending bug chorus. Sometimes we can even leave them open all day. The breezes blow all the way through our little barn, making the sheer white curtains dance, while the cat lounges on the window sills.

Here's to those brief and precious times marking the turning of seasons. Thanks for the pleasant pauses in our battle with the elements in this part of the world.
