About a week ago, the morning sky looked like this. Since then, it's been more or less clear, save for a couple of foggy mornings. The fog formed at sunrise and burned off shortly after. The thermostat in our house is set to 18.5ºC (65ºF), but the heat hasn't come on yet, despite the chilly mornings. The indoor temperature has been falling to exactly 18.5º but not below (yet!), so the radiators stay cold.
Looking back toward our hamlet from out among the grape vines.
I'm not building fires yet, either (except for two mornings in late September when the heat did come on). Since the daytime temps are pretty warm, I don't see the need to use firewood yet. But I will when the boiler starts coming on again, not only for warmth, but also to conserve expensive heating fuel.
Except for the vines, no Fall colors yet.
ReplyDeleteThe heat would be blasting at ours. SG wouldn’t tolerate 18.5. 22 is more his taste.
ReplyDeleteOur sky looked like the photo most of yesterday, but it is totally blue today- the cold front came in last night. High today is 70- brrr.

chm, a little here and there. It'll be more colorful toward the end of the month.
ReplyDeletemitch, in winter, I can get the living room up to 20, even 22, with the wood stove.
evelyn, we're expecting a high in the mid 80s today (Sunday)!
