A Lovely Parosole...

 

Summer Sunshine

How the days just seem to fly by ever so quickly, I find that I must purpose in my heart;

To take pleasure even when the days are so hot and muggy.

I see so many that dress with very little clothing on;

But I have also seen those that work in the fields, that are covered from

Head to Toe with clothing!

I asked a woman once last year if she was super hot?

She told me that with having her arms and legs covered it allowed her to

Stay much cooler than having the sun beat down upon her bare arms and legs.

I found this photo of such lovely and pretty parosoles!

(A Parosole is just a pretty name for an umbrella)

I do not even think you could find these anymore.

Years ago all ladies carried these when going out and about!

Or you might even remember ladies that carried those little hand fans!

Also now days we all have A/C and Fans we plug into the wall.

I am so thankful for modern conveniences!!

I also still enjoy seeing a lovely straw hat on someone at the beach!

But also there is nothing more soothing or wonderful than a portion of the shade!

Having a shade tree is so pleasant to have in one's backyard.

Also, many years ago we sat on our front porches and we just enjoyed the breeze!

I find myself doing most household chores early, so in the very hottest part of

the day, I can rest and just be still and read for a bit!

I hope you are enjoying this very hot weather and learning to make the best of it!

As so many of us feel like we could even melt.

If you have ever hat heat stroke, I have heard you will always feel a greater

Sensitivity to the heat!

Do you feel a bit dried out?

Remember this heat can make you feel dehydrated quickly!

Remember to wear some sunscreen as a bad sunburn can ruin a whole vacation

So try to keep some handy!

Have you found yourself really busy this summer?

Or are you spending more time at home?

I will be reminding myself to plan a bit more carefully for upcoming dinners;

As with this hot weather we need some foods that are light a cool!

We always try to sit outside in the evenings if there is a breeze as then the

bugs that bite are not so bad! I always worry about all the sprays that have

the Deet in them, especially for children.

I hope you are all doing well and taking joy in these days of summer!
