On Hot Summer Days in the Old South

posted on 22 February 2011

I grew up in the southern United States. My mother did not believe in air conditioning and used only the attic fan to cool down the house at night. Sometimes it as so hot, I even went outside to sleep under the old gazebo we kept in the garden - that's how hot it got! In the house, we suffered as we tried to sleep in our beds with bodies stuck to the sheets with our sweat. Afternoons we would walk down to the lake to swim. The water was dirty but we did not complain because it was so cooling. We did not need towels because the walk back to our house completely dried our bodies. It gave us the greatest pleasure to grab the ice cold watermelon from the refrigerator and eat our fill in the backyard. We spit the seeds out in competition to the longest distance the seed traveled.
