I love this! I’d like to invite you to post it on Masterpiece Monday at Boogieboard Cottage. The link will be up all week, I hope you can join in. Have a nice week, Mary :O)
Oh, what a great idea!! We take something close to that along with us when we go camping up North….but it’s just a water filled bag that you let warm in the sunshine and put it up high on a branch and let the nozzle drip down. I would love to have something like that at my home too….it would come in handy after working so hard in the garden. I would love it if you would link this up to my Marvelous Mess party!! Every week I pick one project to feature on my sidebar!! Here is the link: http://marvelouslymessy.blogspot.com/2011/05/marvelous-mess-13-and-features.html
We had an otdoor shower when we lived in a huge house in the garden, this is when our daughters were growing up, in the 80′s and 90′s and it used to be so much fun! The girls kept taking showers outside in great weather! Thank you for sharing this nice post, it brought me such great memmories! I’m aslo at MM at BNOTP.
