The Honeysuckle Floods Inside
Written by Translator on June 4, 2008 – 1:38 am -I am not a big fan of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) systems, but they of course have their places. We would freeze in the winter, and swelter in the summer, without them. But now is a wonderful time of year.
I have my doors open, with only the screens covering them to keep out insects and that one neighbor who caused me grief, and a fan pulling air through the house. It is now 74 F inside, 71 F outside, but the humidity is high at 73% RH. Since I am not doing jumping jacks, the high humidity is OK.
The best part is that the fan is drawing in the scent of the honeysuckle flowers that flourish just to the west of me, in what some would call a “waste space”. I disagree with that moniker. That space is inhabited by several bird species, a wonderful smelling vine, and who knows what how many other creatures that call it home. Waste space? No, a very rich and valuable space, at least as far as I am concerned. Warmest regards, doc.
