The Air Conditioner Is Running.

I know it may be early for some people, but it's right on time for our household. Spring on the East Coast (USA) can be pretty warm, and summer is right around the corner. It's been in the 90s as of late, with it almost hitting 100 degrees today. Yikes!
Our house can get hot, and sometimes, it doesn't cool down right off the bat, so imagine sitting here all day in close to 100-degree weather. Let's not forget the fact that my 70-year-old heart-patient Mom cannot deal with the heat, at least not that hot. She'll start feeling sick, and quite frankly, she's been through enough these last two months.
We did need to get a new air conditioner. It turns out the one we've been using isn't as big as it needs to be, so it was working overtime and leaking. The one we have now is bigger and it's working fine.
Regardless of what it feels like in your house, I hope you're all feeling comfortable right now.

I'm glad you have a larger A/C. That's too hot. I'm glad you're comfortable.
When I took a walk around the complex yesterday afternoon, I heard many air conditioners running. I haven't turned mine on. It's doubtful I will. I need to get the cover off, and I can't do that because I can't reach it. I need help in that department.

I hope you're able to find someone to help, so you can run the a/c if need be.

We had a little snow shower this morning. Some of the lilacs made it through!

@tammys85 We even found enough to take to Mom's grave - that was great.

I turned my A.C. on sometime ago, Early may I think. Temps have only reached mid to high 80's but that's still too warm for my blood.
