My internet connection has been going off and on today, so I'm gonna drop these here for you all now.
Well, June bugs, the 25th is the last Saturday of the month. To mark the occasion here are . . .
Today's Question(s):
If you could design your ideal swimming pool, what would it be like? I would like a swimming pool surrounded by trees, huge stones and lot of different wildflowers and many nice smelling roses.Maybe a waterfall attached to it and to listen to the sound of the flowing water
Bonus:
When it cools in the fall I often hear people say it's "good sleeping weather."
So let's talk about how we manage summer sleep temps.
-
When it's really hot out, would you rather crank up the a/c and sleep under covers
-OR-
Just use a fan and kick off the covers?
-OR-
Other? You tell us:When it is extreme hot I spray my linen cover with cold water and sleep under that
[/u]If you could design your ideal swimming pool, what would it be like? it would have a stone and slate surround. It's very private on the far end of a beautifully manicured estate lawn in the rolling hillside. Standing on the diving board, you see the expanse of lawn before you. Behind you is a man made Lilly pond and behind that is the shaded changing room - always cool because it's built of stone - and always dim and damp

Today's Question(s): If you could design your ideal swimming pool, what would it be like? Great ideas. I want a little of everything everyone said. But will settle for a blue tiled pool with a good swim area, but also more natural looking places, a kind of complex of pools with a shaded area, waterfall, kiddie pool, deep end of only 6" and somewhere has to be comfortable places to sit in the water and read, sip a drink, and even surf the web without flooding whatever device is used. And other things as we think of them.
