Summertime
It gets pretty hot in the North West during the Summer season, which is why it bewilders me that water, despite the sweltering heat, seems to remain one icy degree above freezing! I mean, sure, it’s hot…but (at least for me) it’s still too cold to go swimming!
Tisha, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to mind the frigid water as much, and usually jumps right in. I’ve tried that method…and regretted it a millisecond later! I take my time getting into the water, allowing my body temperature to drop slowly, thus reducing the neurological shock to my senses. The only problem with this approach is that by the time I’m fully immersed in water, Tisha is ready to get out! I think we just need to find some warmer waters…
