Ok, it's official......

it reached 100* in Broken Arrow. Youch! This is August weather in June. What is August going to be like?!

Dennis went out this morning and cleaned out the central air unit with the garden hose. He washed and cleaned the coil, and used the air compressor to blow out the drain pipe that carries away condensation. He then put some bleach down the pipe to kill mold. You wouldn't believe the difference in temperature in our house. If your house is too hot, try these simple tricks and see if it helps you like it helped us. (my disclaimer: I am NOT an air conditioner repair person, and know nothing about such things. I just know about MY own house, MY own air conditioning unit! Don't blame me if it doesn't work for YOU)

Dennis also mowed, trimmed and edged the lawn, front and back. He did this in the morning hours before the temperature reached 90. You have to hurry around our area to beat the heat! I tried to talk him into mowing at 7:00 but he was afraid someone might complain! I say, who cares?!

Once again the girls are out in the pool. That's the only thing they want to do when they get home after their fun summer classes. With outside air temperatures at 100, I don't see how the pool water can be refreshing!
