Temperature Relief and Update
When I arrived home from the southern Illinois misadventure, the high temperatures continued in Wisconsin with our warmest days of the year. With our well-shaded home, we rarely use the air-conditioning, but it received its first work-out of the season. Callie and I took early morning walks (5 a.m. before sunrise) to get our steps in.
