June 17, 2007, Fathers Day, is behind us once again. In a few days, we'll be experiencing the summer solstice once again...the longest period of daylight within the year. It's difficult to comprehend that after that the days will become shorter and shorter and fall will soon be upon us.
I know. I know! Summer isn't officially here yet but in the past that hasn't kept the sweltering heat away. Last year in May, we were having temperatures of 100 plus, every day. Energy bills were out of sight. Now, here it is creeping toward the end of June and our air conditioner hasn't been on over half a dozen hours.
I LOVE getting our electric bill! A person would think I had a love affair going with an envelope each time we receive the bill. I caress it and kiss it and hold it near to my heart!
We have had 'some' to a 'lot' of rain almost every day for over a month. Vegetation is lush and green...not to mention grass-mowing that is impossible to keep up with.
Flowers are beautiful, the best part being that they haven't had to be watered. That means low water billings, also!
This has definitely been a season of filling the coffers!

I wish I loved my electric bill. I keep the a/c on from about April through October. I do not care for the heat at all. I get cranky.

I dare not even ask about this comment!!

Normally, our's is running through those months also. This is just a very weird year for erratic weather patterns! It's been good for our budget, however. Love that part of it.
Uh ... you hug your electric bill? Really? I hate my electric bill. And my gas bill. But they come in the same bill, so said hate remains concentrated on one bill.
DD,
When my electric bill is lowered by 5 times, from one year to the next, yes...that calls for "undying love"! I'll kiss it, hug it, caress it, hold it next to my heart...whatever! However, I'm fickle. By the end of the summer my love may quickly change to hate! But I'll enjoy it as long as I can!
