Summer Fun 2013: We're Having a "Cold Wave"

The NYTimes has dubbed our recent spate of below-average temperatures (avg. in NYC is 84F this time of year) a "coldwave."  Sure enough.  And I love it.  We haven't turned the AC on in weeks--who needs to with low 60s at night and highs barely at 80F?  (And I read that Houston had a heat index of 110F earlier this week!)  Which is perfect for airing out at the VOCs from the floor.  I even did some gardening this morning and we had a picnic lunch outside yesterday.  And I added a blanket to the bed for last night's 57F! I'll admit, though, that this makes it a little cold for swimming.  But after 2 weeks at camp, I'm not sure the kids mind.  They're just inside reading HP 5, which I imagine one or both will finish today.  And then start up the next one.  I know it will get hot again, probably just in time for schools without any air conditioning, but for now, I'm enjoying it.
