    Woo hoo. Hope you can keep it off. Our house doesn't even have heat. The nights it got really cold here we used the electric blankets.

    Today is the second day I've had mine off. I doubt it will stay off since we can get snow into April sometimes but every day that's it off is nice!

    I was thinking this morning too it's not long until AC season. So far, just fans. I opened the front windows and patio doors to let the gale blow through and cool the apartment before I went to bed. It's around 80 right now.

    My heat is still on but I have hung up my laundry outside already. It was dry and windy and so it worked.

    Here's to many sunny and warm days in our future and a decrease in those electric bills YES!

    YEAH! We didn't use any heat today either. DH just went and started up the wood stove because it will still be quite chilly overnight.

    We're just grateful it's finally warm enough that the heat pump is running instead of burning propane by the ton.
