The Healing Tubs
We live in an 1860 home that has no air conditioning. While for 35 years it has been perfect for us, we have been “uncomfortable” at times when the temperature reaches 90 degrees. And often our guests are just plain HOT.
A few years ago, while on vacation in Lewes, Delaware, we found an old fashioned bathtub. The kind with feet. We already had one like it that came with the farm and had been used as a horse watering station. Finding a second one to match was a miracle!
We placed them on an old concrete slab from an ancient structure next to the Healing Herb Garden. When it gets really hot we fill them up with cool, clear well water. And when the time is right to hop in for a cool, refreshing dip we are ready! We have the tubs facing the setting sun and usually have a nice cool drink ready to enhance the experience. Everyone laughs when they see the tubs, but only when you actually get in can you truly realize just the refreshing experience!
