68. We have deciduous trees that are fully grown and wonderful.

They shade both the east and west sides of the house in the summer and let light and heat in in the winter. AWESOME!

The guy across the street moved here from Chicago last May. He decided he hated all the landscaping on his property so he had it ALL ripped up and carted off. Fully grown trees, hedges, everything.

Then it got hot.

And he realized why that stuff was there. His house was BLAZING fucking hot. And he has clerestory windows, too. Damn. Wish I could have told him before he did that.

We are going to trade in my husband's truck for a Corolla very soon.

And we never turn the thermostat lower than 78, higher if we can stand it.
