So, after years of being told "turn off the lights when you leave a room, turn off the electric appliances" I come home to a house where there's more than one light on, the fans are running and the windows are, for the most part, closed. The droning noise is just unnerving. Off goes the switch!
I'd rather open the windows during the coolness of the post-twilight and feel the cooling wind seep from the windows like gentle breath as if the house were suffocating on the current-less air.
Slide open the windows, let the house breathe naturally and I'll enjoy some quiet time - a book and perhaps some jasmine tea. ahhh. out on my balcony with the shining dragonfly lights! Sitting in my green dress with a light shawl to keep bugs from alighting (hopefully).
