Today marked a milestone in my summer on Seguin. Until this afternoon I, at all costs, avoided entering the frigid waters of the cove that Nate and Darcy so gleefully frolic in. It’s not that I don’t enjoy swimming, I just prefer retaining feeling in my appendages whilst doing so. However, when you awake to a morning that is already hot and muggy before the sun has fully risen, you know it’s going to be steamy. That coupled with a cloudless sky and absolutely no breeze, one begins to understand why people generally move a littler slower in the south. It also enticed me to take one swift dive off the rocks and shock my system with a salty reprieve. I cannot guarantee I’ll do it again, but I can assure you that it was more effective than air conditioning.
In other news, after much anticipation, Nate and I are beginning to enjoy the fruits of our labors. Bits of our garden are ripe for the picking and twice this week we had the satisfaction of eating spinach salads for lunch with spinach we grew ourselves. That, my friends, spells satisfaction. It also makes the war I’ve waged on weeds totally worth it.
With July fast approaching its end, and August looming before us, Nate and I are soaking up the sun, continuing to meet ever-interesting new people, and are getting ready for what is gearing up to be crazy busy weeks ahead. With friends and family coming out in droves to visit, we are expecting constant companions and oodles of fun. Here’s looking forward to the second half of summer!
