Springtime and Summer weeks are filled with lots of rain and sunshine, but periodically it will rain all day and the sun still shines.
- I do not mind the rain much at all.
The temperatures drop when the rain comes and it is a nice chop from the heat. A few weeks ago the two of us had a exhausting storm that knocked out the power. I was hoping the power would be turned back on the next day, but there was a good deal of injure from the storm. Several trees came down in the heavy winds and the branches caused numerous power lines to be disfigured. The power was out the entire next day. I tried to use the generator so I could run that a/c. It was 90 degrees that day and none of my neighbors and I had any way to control the indoor temperature. The generator had trouble keeping up with the demand, so I had to shut off the a/c. I needed to keep the refrigerator and the freezer cold. With the a/c running, there was a strain on the generator. I sat with my friend later that day. He has a much larger generator than I do and it worked well. He had the ability to keep the indoor temperature comfortable while still keeping the refrigerator and freezer ice cold. I was glad when the power finally came back on later that evening. I did not want to spend another evening trying to sleep separate from any way to control the indoor temperature. I can’t sleep well when it’s warm indoors.
