Broken window air conditioner

Well, our window unit air conditioner broke last night. I got it out of storage to get it ready to put in the bedroom window, and we were giving it a test run. It wouldn’t run at all. We have a window unit air conditioner in the master bedroom to run at night to keep us cool while we sleep so we don’t have to run the whole house air conditioner all night. We THINK that will save us money on the electric bill. We’ve had the unit for about ten years, so I can’t complain too much, we certainly got our money’s worth out of it! The newer models are probably more energy efficient, too, so I will be going out to buy a new one today! It’s just never a good time to have to replace something new, you always have to rearrange your budget!

April showers

bring May flowers.  At least that is what the age old adage says.  But so far this month it has not rained much.  I wonder if this is a bad start to the spring?  I’d hate to think that this is the beginning of a drought!  I really enjoy seeing my flower garden alive and lush, and although I have planted drought tolerant plants, it always looks nicer if there is plenty of rainfall.  And I was hoping to plant a few new shrubs in a couple of weeks, hoping that the natural rainy season would help me be lazy and not have to water the shrubs every day.
