@Kimmie, ...@Mark, me too...in blogging and in life!<br />@Kimmie, keep warm & thx!<br />@Naturally, the hican is actually a hybrid mix of hickory and hican. A little stronger than a pecan in taste, I'm not as fond of them as Hubby is. :)<br />@Mel, thanks, so good to see you!<br />@Rain, wouldn't want your bills...yikes, too hot!<br />@PattiB, thx! I can't take the heat either anymore. *sigh*<br />@Maa, yeah, I'm regretting the cherry pie I made today. I'd been so good about only making things Hubby likes, so I'd not be tempted during the week!<br />@Buttons, thanks, what a sweet thing to say!Dmariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14689601569495984413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700826032924534249.post-54589631087527282192011-07-13T06:39:43.351-05:002011-07-13T06:39:43.351-05:00Dmarie yes I love reading blogs from every corner ...Dmarie yes I love reading blogs from every corner of the world.

I've been wondering how those window surrounds that they used on One Tonne Life house (http://onetonnelife.com/about-the-project/) would go over around here. Evidently the surrounds create a micro-climate around windows to save energy by reducing heat/cooling loss.Dmariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14689601569495984413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700826032924534249.post-84932262592129712762011-07-12T11:01:36.242-05:002011-07-12T11:01:36.242-05:00If we had a way of keeping the sun out of the hous...If we had a way of keeping the sun out of the house to begin with, it would help immensely....like curtains on the outside! I have been mulling that over for my huge kitchen window on the west side of the house.

Not only is it cheaper, but in this heat, they dry faster than in the dryer and there's no added heat in the house from the dryer.<br /><br />Also, I'm simmering some pork in the crockpot for pulled pork sandwiches. It puts off a little heat, but not like the oven would. If it gets too hot in the kitchen, I can just move the crockpot to the back deck or the garage.Annie Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123644833186800503noreply@blogger.com
