Summertime is almost here and with it comes the heat and humidity that most people love and hate at the same time! We've all been waiting patiently (most of the time) for winter to end! Well I think it's safe to say that it is now over! At least here in the Southern parts of Ontario, winter has definitely left us and we have already moved through our short spring! Most of the Magnolia trees have already blossomed and the Crab Apple trees are now in full bloom.

At this time of year, being of a certain age, I find that my own body thermometer seems to get out of whack. Call it hormones, if you like, but I know that the uncomfortable days are coming quickly and I want to be prepared.
One of the things I love to do during the summer months is to enjoy the outdoors and still be comfortable. Whether it's playing in my little garden area with my containers of veggies that are growing on my balcony or picking up my favorite book to read for a while, comfort to me is of utmost importance.
There is nothing worse than trying to enjoy the great outdoors while dripping with perspiration due to the humidity. Oh I could go indoors and sit in the comfort of the air conditioning, but what is the point in that?
I waited for summer to come and now I want to be out there enjoying it. Now I can share with you my little lifesaver. I was introduced to this gadget through a friend who is having hot flashes like crazy! While visiting her for instructions on her dog's needs (I was going to doggie sit) she pulls out these neat little fans and puts them around her neck. Not only does she cool right off, but, she can and does continue to take me through all the instructions with these little fans running. They are quiet and cool her right off in a matter of minutes. Now, I'm older than she is and I thought I was all through those nasty hot flashes, then they came back with a vengeance. That was a surprise to me and I needed help.
Thank God for girlfriends who share their great finds with each other.
