open windows

the weather this weekend was marvelous.

a rarity for pennsylvania.

sat on the deck friday night for dinner...

and didn't sweat.

soaked up the sun yesterday while reading...

and got a decent tan/slight burn on the stomach.

and the air got turned off!

that NEVER happens.

i opened all of the windows

and let the lovely breeze in.

it was so nice to air out this stuffy place!

but i forgot about all of the not so wonderful things

about opening the windows....

yesterday afternoon i sneezed a few times in a row...

and a random neighbor working out in their yard said 'bless you'.

that was nice, 

but slightly creepy.

last night i fell asleep listening to a man

using a saw/sander/router down the street.

he was literally out there all day and all night.

this morning i woke up

to the sound of fire station's alarm going off.

followed immediately by a train blaring through town.

it was around that time that i realized i was sweating to death...

breeze in also means serious humidity in too, ick.

and then the neighborhood dogs started barking like crazy.

so i grumpily rolled out of bed at 7am

and made myself a nice treat...

spiced peach (well i used nectarines) and blueberry muffins!

it's amazing how quickly a good breakfast

can make me happy to be up early in the morning!

recipe found here: King Arthur.

fyi - this batter is super sticky, 

be prepared to cleanup immediately 

unless you want spiced cement in your mixing bowls!
