Hearth & Horn

If you are early risers, open all the windows in the house while the sun hasn't reached full strength. Close them and all shutters/curtains as soon as the sun begins to gather itself.

Sprinkle water on your bed sheets.

When the sun begins to set, fill a shallow tub with water and soak your feet in it to cool your core.

Use the stove as little as possible -- cold meats, canned goods, cold sandwiches and fruit are the rule of the day.
