So summer is almost over. How has your summer been, weather-wise?

[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 667048, member: 1963"] I always wondered why people who moved to arid climates even tried to have lawns and such when there are so many gorgeous succulents and cacti and other desert plants adapted to an arid climate that can be grown. I've lived in temperate to boreal climates my entire life and can remember my mother slaving over a rock garden outside of Chicago. She worked very hard to keep those desert plants alive in a climate they were not at all suited for. I keep the AC in my house at 70 in the summer as i do not tolerate heat at all well, but I keep the house at 63-65 in the winter and layer up if i'm cold. Keeping the heat turned down that low means that i do wind up with cats under the comforter with me, but WTH, that just means it gets rather cozy at night (and purry) [/QUOTE]
