Don't Touch That Dial
It Is Really Not That Cold
Just another conversation between husband and wife
The temperature in the house is 62 degrees
Outside it is in the 50's
Too early to put the heat on
With oil and gas prices so high
We try tio save where we can
The electric heat is so expensive
Throw on a sweater or a sweatshirt if you feel slightly cool
Every year we have our closet full
From clothes to blankets
We slide them from side to side
Are we to lazy to grab a blanket or a quilt
During the day the house temperature is 65
The sun from outside warms us up
It is only at night the teperature drops
We put up heavier curtains and drapes to make our home warmer
Some people put plastic on old windows to keep the cold air out
We took the air conditioners out of the windows to eliminate the draft
Put the storm windows down were the screens once were
We have a portable Vornado heater that we turn on to kill the chill
That seems to do the trick
It is only the the 12th of October and we have November,December,January and finally February
By then the winter will be over and done
I wonder how much oil or gas for heat will be used and the money we will spend
Over One thousand dollars I am sure
Wait and see
Most of all we want to keep warm and safe
Sharing tips from one homeowner to another
When the Fall finally turns to winter
We all try to do our best to keep what little money we have left
