I'm not sure about you, but we try to conserve our bills so we haven't turned on our AC yet. And I feel like a trooper; it got up to109 the other day, which was about 84 in the house at the peak... Wow! Back when I use to live in the suburbs, which was last year, I was a AC 73 degree only girl. Our bill one month was around 350 dollars or something like that! I remember my husband mentioning it to me (ever so pointedly). Well, we have changed a bit since then. We live on propane and electric everything now, and lets just say that we spent our reserves on our winter heat in the beginning of the year. 350 on propane and 200 on electric was back in January. We figured out how to use the wood burning stove quick after receiving that bill.
Lately, we figured out a little routine, as soon as we wake up we open all the windows and right around 10am we close them and blast all the fans. Around 4:30 we open all the windows back up and enjoy the day cooling off. It's been way too hot out here to turn on the oven. which leaves us with the freezer as our way of cooling down. We have been making nothing but smoothies, Popsicle and salads. My kids are popsicle lovers. I bet if I put something green in them my kids will still eat one. I might try that! And I love them because you can put pretty much any fruit inside them and they will come out great. I think yogurt, bananas, and orange juice is easy and a Delicious combination. Sweet, sour and creamy.
