That's the beauty of New York...just the opposite. We'll have the furnace kick on at night and the air conditioner run during the day. Last electricity bill was $360. :rant:

Our last bill was around $40. We haven't used the AC since late August. I've been out chopping up a store of firewood almost every night for the last couple of weeks. That should keep us warm enough during the evenings well into Nov without having to crank up the furnace. At night we'll just cuddle up under and extra layer of blankets if it's too cold.

I'm allergic to down but we have a faux down (hollowfill or equivalent) that is pretty dang nice. I suppose when the baby is born we will actually have to turn the heat on.

Well they got that their patchouli soaked hacky sacks last year.

The best thing about patchouli scented hacksacks is they still hurt when you bean someone in the nuts with one. Not that a hippy would ever resort to violence, but I have met a few passive-aggresive hippys, so you better watch out.

Making moss sad in New Haven, Vermont
Pulling out tomato vines, basil and peppers in the garden prior to frost...

Late afternoon walk as it gets dark, noticing the spicy smell of fall ground...

Cruising the dim woods unable to tell if it's wind or rain you're hearing until the drops become sharp and staccato...

Yeah, fall is nice.

We got our latest utility bill yesterday. It was $36.10. Damn that basement dehumidifier. If it wasn't for that thing running all the time...
