Our high velocity air system is in! The compressor and condensers went in along with 6-inch diameter flexible tubing down the backs of closets from our attic upstairs. The vents are a few inches across and blend well with the ceiling where they are placed in each of the rooms. 

Overall, we're very happy with the system. The downstairs stays five degrees warmer than our upstairs where the thermostat is, which was a bit of a surprise, but it's still offered a very welcome reprieve from this summer heat wave.

Below are pictures of the window seat cushion my mom made for our living room west window.

We've had fun using our placemat and napkin set that Pam, Ajay, Sara, and Stewart gave us for our anniversary.

Finally...my garden has produced tomatoes. Tonight we used fresh parsley, thyme, and tomatoes for our dinner. Our sprinklers are being well-used.
