| Apple trees in curve of north field |
In
the morning, I happened to look out the kitchen window to the north field where
a doe was slowly crossing through the low point towards the apple trees. I
wondered why she was moving so slowly. Then I saw that she had a quite a wake
of waving grain behind her, and I just caught sight of two fawn. When they
disappeared into the trees, I didn’t see them again. I can only surmise that
they skirted around the edge of the field in the tall grass and back into the
gully.
Anyway,
we went back to the town house, and Friday noon as I returned from an outing,
Mike advised me that the air conditioner wasn’t working. Heating and cooling
service providers were closed for the long weekend, and Mike decided not to request
emergency service. Long story short – it was a miserable two days in town. Probably
the best part was exercising the dogs at the beach. Little Bess, who had to
learn to get into the water, has become quite the swimmer.

| Evening at Gilbert |
So,
after my nephew’s landmark birthday party last evening, we loaded the pick-up
and drove back to the farm. Not sure we gained too much by that. It was still
80 here at 9:00, and of course the house was warm, especially upstairs. The
night was difficult, especially since we brought along our friend Pepper (large
German Shorthair), who was unsettled and unhappy.
Well,
I’m not going to complain – much – because after all, we all have problems to
solve from time to time. On Monday, Mike will begin to make calls to schedule
service appointments, and then we’ll see how things work out.

It’s
kinda fun to drive in during the evening, but you have to watch for the deer.
We saw two on the grade. With perfect form, one little guy jumped a fence from
a standstill. And out at the corner, we saw five whitetail together and watched
them run through the field. KW

Yikes!! No air conditioning in the valley? You deserve a gold star!! I was thankful we had air and made good use of it. We usually open up the house at night, but there have been several nights when it didn't cool enough to do it until the early morning hours. And one night we left the air on all night. I told Dan I planned to pretend I was in a nice hotel some place. :-) Too bad there was no maid service! Hope by now you've been able to have it fixed.
When we left Sat evening it was 94 degrees - inside.
