I have to admit my first taste of summer came when we were at the beach for a long weekend recently. It got warm enough for my first outdoor shower of the season. Why it thrills me to shower in the wood-lined box of our outdoor shower is something I can’t explain. Although it is not fancy, I like smelling the fresh air as I shower. I like not having to dry the walls and just dry me off and wrap myself in a big towel and head upstairs.

Now you may have noted I said I liked not drying the walls when I am finished.
