Well, I suppose not so easy if you're living in Texas this summer. But finally we've had some summer weather here in New York. You know, 80℉ and a bit of humidity. I've actually turned a little fan on in my bedroom!
And one little luxury in summer is slipping into a bed with clean cotton sheets then sliding your legs and feet around, searching for those cool cotton patches under the covers. Much easier than chopping cotton at harvest time in heat and dust.
A fan in summer and cool cotton sheets: Now THAT's livin' easy!

cool skin
sultry summer
evenings
standing before a fan:
cool skin,
soothing wind.
