Maybe it is not so different that she would rest outside with a thin jacket, rather than be inside with the air conditioning appliance
My mama was a cool outdated lady, but she had her oddities. She would rest outside in the middle of summer. It would still be ninety degrees in the shade, as well as she would have her jacket on. I would watch her rest in her porch rocker as well as spend hours just looking out at the mountains, as well as smiling. I often wondered what she was smiling at. I couldn’t really believe it was because she was comfortable. Everyone else would be inside the property with the air conditioning equipment working. Mama grew up when air conditioning wasn’t as readily available as it is in these modern times. Maybe she was thinking of her childhood when she as well as my dad would be outside with the rest of the youngsters. She always talked about how they would ride bikes to the park on a regular basis. She said they would enjoy having weenie roasts out in the field. They didn’t have air conditioning to keep them tucked away in the property. They braved the weather as well as managed to learn how to appreciate life as well as all that it provided. I sat outside with her relatively often. The one time, I threw a shirt over my shoulders so I didn’t end up getting sunburned. The shirt easily worked as a barrier from the heat. Maybe it is not so different that she would rest outside with a thin jacket, rather than be inside with the air conditioning appliance. It definitely made it more comfortable. This past warm season, I sat outside on the porch thinking about my mother as well as how she would have enjoyed looking out over the mountain on a regular basis. I thought about the wonderful conversations we had, as well as I came to realize the sound of the AC equipment just took away from the melody of her voice, as well as I truly missed her.
