I would love to try it out!!<br /><br />I have a portable swamp cooler that I use in my studio here. Central air doesn't work well in the desert because of the low humidity but the swamper sure makes it lovely and cool. (plus the humidity from the evaporative cooler helps with summer nose bleeds from the dry air)!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077677066902349111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574046592294768817.post-85002389389090029132012-07-09T19:18:32.322-04:002012-07-09T19:18:32.322-04:00Lori- I have a very small fig tree that I got 1 fi...Lori- I have a very small fig tree that I got 1 fig from last year.

Now we're in the middle of winter, even though we haven't seen a drop of rain for many days, you can't get washing to dry at all outside on the line, and it has to be hung in my studio over the pot belly stove when we are not open to the public. Ah, the wonders of blogging and glimpsing life all around the planet! Hope the firing has gone really well, it must always be a bit of an anxious wait as the kiln cools.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574046592294768817.post-25918237684793064792012-07-08T11:19:31.779-04:002012-07-08T11:19:31.779-04:00I need a jelly sammich.

Greg got one and I have been using it, you know, to decide if I like it. It doesn't have that new book smell, and I keep trying to turn the page like I would with a REAL book...but I think I am liking it!Anna M.
