Make Peace with the Crickets

I have to admit, I hate sleeping in the heat. But really, how many summer nights are too hot to sleep if you have the right amount of covers and the least amount of clothing? (Sleeping naked is green!) 


So my green challenge is to strip off the down duvets if you're hot instead of turning the AC down in the house. We've only turned it on for two days this year and its almost July, think of how much that is saving us in electricity costs and more importantly in efficiency. 


There's nothing I love more than to feel the cool breeze on my skin floating in the window. The rustling of the leaves, or grass depending on the season. 

It's pretty magical to lay in bed and hear nothing. Then the slow steady hum of June bugs, crickets or whatever magic creature may lay perched outside my window. 


We're cooped up in our houses from November until it all melts away in April, why not enjoy the summer and soak up whatever mother nature throws at us. 


So make peace with your crickets, and if not I've learned from my Mexican friends they are delicious when covered in chocolate! YUM!
