This is the time of year we usually spend all of our time outdoors. It is my favorite time of year to lay outside in my chair and read books while the kids play in the yard. We spent several weeks ‘opening’ our yard for the summer. This meant we had to clean the yard, clear debris from winter and wash off the patio. Thank God for pressure washers because we were able to wash down the house, porch, patio and bikes and they all look brand new. So what is the problem?
The heat! It is unbearable to be outside right now. Every time I go out to relax I end up breathing heavy and sweating like crazy. I can’t stand to be out there. There just isn’t any breezes. We have had no rain. We went to the zoo in New Orleans last week and I had to leave after 2 hours because I just couldn’t stand it and we had spent most of the time at indoor exhibits.
I am thinking there has to be a way to enjoy the outdoors without getting heat exhaustion. Tomorrow I am going to try filling up the little pool for the kids. Putting my chair next to the pool so I can soak my feet to stay cool. I am going to bring a spray bottle filled with ice water. Put up an umbrella to sit under. Maybe then I can enjoy my outdoor living area that I worked so hard to make. Finally we can’t forget to hydrate with water every hour. Very important!!! What are some of the things you guys do in order to enjoy the outdoors when it is just to hot to do anything?
