I have a couple of the ones on the list. In the summer I prefer open windows.

  Way too humid in hot here in FL for open windows in the summer.

    So true about Florida!
    
    I grew up in Miami in a house that only had a heater.
    
    But, we had a huge fan in the hallway ceiling that drew air from the house and into the attic. With the windows open, and the fan on, the air moved though the hose like a tropical storm, and was actually quite effective.

    Currently it's a little smokey with the windows open, but it's worth keeping it as cool as possible since the heat doesn't hit here until late afternoon.

  Poinsettias: steeped in a teapot, along with their favorite tea. It can also be used in place of bay leaves in many recipes. Wear gloves....
