Sweet June weather, at last
Okay campers, how many of you shut the windows, and switched on the AC today as temperatures drifted up toward 80 under sunny skies for the first time in forever?
And how many have thrown the windows open to let the breeze blow through after suffering through endless gray skies, gloom and 2.37 inches of rain since the month began?
Count me among the breeze seekers. BGE (actually, I switched to 50 percent wind energy from Washington Gas Energy Services, and we're already saving money) can wait a few more days for my dough.
The air is moving through the house, bringing with it the sound of lawnmowers and birdsong. My plans for the afternoon include a burger, the hammock, the newspaper, and David McCollough's "John Adams."
Could your day be any sweeter than mine? If it is, don't read any further ...

... because the forecast calls for another spate of showers and thunderstorms right through until next weekend.
I told you to stop reading.

I left all the windows open all day and let the breeze come through. It actually wasn't that bad. I spent all day cleaning and organizing in the house, so I didn't get to enjoy the weather as much. But I did do some grilling!
By the way, could you post some more info about the wind energy service you're using? Thanks!
FR: Sure. There are several alternative electricity providers available to customers in the BGE service area. Some offer renewable energy options, and some may give you a better rate than BGE or the wind energy option I chose. Here's the BGE Web page with links to all the options. http://www.bge.com/portal/site/bge/menuitem.8a359bc11138c9c33c88ff10016176a0/
Here's the Web site for the WGES Clean Steps program I chose: http://www.wges.com/page/cer_main.php

If it didn't set my allergies off, I would have all the windows open. But daily sinus headaches convinced me to close up and use the AC. I did go out spend some time in the lovely afternoon sunshine, though!
