Skinny Dipping Under the Full Moon

I just love the heat of summer... stickiness of the humidity and all.... bring it on!  I have been waiting for months just to be outside as much as I can, because in the winter I avoid being outside as much as possible!  I find myself these days wandering out the door just to stand in the sunshine and soak it up, and I am blessed with having a pool in my backyard, which definitely helps spending lots of time in the heat of summer.

The other night I was sitting on the back patio alone while Joe was working in his study.  The sun was going down and I could see the full moon rising.  I must have sat there watching the transition from sun to moon for an hour with my feet dangling in the pool.  It was such a quiet moment of sheer beauty that I didn't even realize it had been an hour that I sat there.

By the time the sun had completely gone down and the moon had risen, I decided I wanted to take a dip in the pool before bedtime.  I had a sun dress on and I was sitting on a towel.... but I would have had to get up and go inside to put my suit on first and I just thought that would spoil the moment.... so..... knowing no one could possible ever see me.... I just yanked off my sundress and slipped right into the cool water...... then I started giggling like a kindergartner!!!

I have to say..... it felt sooooo good and refreshing..... however.... the giggles were from feeling so naughty!  Why is skinny dipping considered such a dare devil naughty thing to do?  In complete privacy it is the same as taking a bath in your bathroom.  Any hoo...... I had a ball doing a few laps around the pool under the full moon.

I now must admit.... that since that first time.... I've been taking a nightly skinny dip in the moonlight before bed.  I go to bed feeling sooo refreshed and feeling secretly just a bit naughty..... the getting away with it kind of naughty!  I hope to NEVER get caught, that would definitely be the worst..... but.... since it is always after 10:00pm and our patio is very private, I doubt I will get caught.

If any of you get the opportunity to experience this bit of naughtiness, I bet you too would enjoy it immensely!  Personally I would NOT skinny dip in any water that I can't see the bottom in!  I can't see myself skinny dipping in lakes or ponds or oceans where there are critters that can swim by and or nibble any of my bare parts!!!  I don't know which would be worse.... having to deal with the pain of nibbled on parts or explaining my injuries to others!

Give it a try and a splash!!!  It's SUMMERTIME!!!!
