The sweltering hot summer is fast approaching and it's time to prepare. I found one cool new product this year that not only provides plenty of shade, but also a unique cooling mist. The Cool Mist Umbrella ($140) is like a traditional patio table umbrella except this one provides 95' sq. of shade and generates a cooling mist around the canopy. Simply connect your standard garden hose to the base of the umbrella and cool off those hot humid days with the refreshing relief of a gentle cooling mist. I wonder if the falling mist helps keeps insects away too?
