Utopia is More than a Place
Between our float cabin and the rock wall is a protected pool. In the summer, the water is warmed when the sun reflects off the dark rock, making a perfect, natural swimming pool.
And what would a swimming pool be without pool toys. This is our new one. It's called the Poolmate Utopia Lounge. Even though the water is still bone numbing cold, I can float around my pool on Utopia.
We purchased our Utopia online from Overton's for about $70 USD. I love the stablility and the durable nylon cover. Because the lake water is still cold, I've only used it in the chair configuration. If I cross my legs I can float around the pool without getting wet except for a bit of my butt. When summer arrives and the lake water warms, I can flip the padded seat out and use it in the lounge configuration while I float around and read on nice sunny days. And boy, am I'm really looking forward to that! -- Margy
What a wonderful place to live! Forgive my nosiness but what do you do with your sewage? And what type of permits did it take to be able to build such a place?
ReplyDeletethis looks like the place to be in the summertime!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! It all looks very Utopian and exotic!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog and the invitation!
ReplyDeleteNow this place just can't be real! I'm really glad you shared this, because I want that cabin =D
Looks just like the place where I could relax and forget my worries.
Margy, thank for the invitation to float in your pool! What a lovely house and what great surroundings! You live in paradise! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYour float cabin combined with private pool looks perfectly peaceful... bliss. I am envious!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how you managed to stay warm and dry - you cross your legs! Not sure I'd find that comfy for too long, but the lounger configuration ... oh yeah! I'd go for that!
On behalf of the team, thanks for taking part in ABC Wednesday this week! :)
It sounds like heaven! I'm jealous now...
ReplyDeleteYou have all you need there for a great summer. Love the garden - with asparagus at that! Definitely a treat yo have there!
ReplyDeleteI'm on my way over to dive and float in your pool! I'll bring the pina colada mix:)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to stay all ady long floating on such a cool seat! Loved its bright colors.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your words of cheers on my house construction, and also today with your friend's recipes! Just took note of them and I'm gonna try them when we move! I ntend to have a natural recipes' book always at hand now.
Kisses and enjoy your good weather (here we're starting to face chilli mornings!).
Thank you to everyone for visiting my ABC Wednesday post. I can hardly wait for another float and maybe even a swim when I return to the cabin. - Margy
ReplyDeleteLooks like a perfect pool. I wouldn't like the cold water, but floating around sounds peaceful and relaxing.
ReplyDeleteHow neat to float around without getting cold. It would be good here seeing as the water in the Moray Firth never gets remotely near warm.
