Way, way, way too hot. Every year since we moved to Illinois, this time of year was flat-out beautiful. Our southern friends would visit to enjoy the cooler weather. It's 90 degrees, and we only air condition the bedroom. Aside from a cool week a couple weeks ago, we haven't eaten in the dining room for a few months. Eating in the kitchen even is rare (once you turn on the stove, forget it). I'm ready for fall, really ready.
