Into the drink late this morning, after a bunch of yard- and housework was done! Yahoo! The pool water is perfect! Just cool enough to be refreshing but not (quite) so cold as to freeze you into a solid block of ice.
The lovely Texas sage is in full blossom, arching over the deep end to create a shady grotto and setting little leis of purple flowers afloat in the water.
The weather is warming up. Looks like we’ve seen the last of the little stretches of respite that have brought night-time temps into the 60s. We won’t get a break from the heat until August, when (if we’re lucky) evening monsoons will drop temperatures about 20 degrees—but add so much water to the air that the morning heat will feel 20 degrees hotter than its normal 110 degrees.
This is the time of year when a swimming pool is the best thing, a luxury beyond all McMansionville.
Life is good.
For the time being…
That pool looks great. The kids have been spending much of the last week at the neighborhood pool since the weather has been in the 90’s for much of the week here in Indiana. I think summer is here for a while now. Enjoy the afternoon off.
