Looks great. I can’t imagine the pool will be cold at all. Ours was warm enough to swim in without heating back in late April. Now that summer is here, my kids are swimming everyday.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf -
My pool, even in the direct heat of July, is almost always cold. It gets full sunlight all day too. I can't figure it out. If Lake Mead can warm up to levels that are no longer refreshing, how come my pool doesn't?Originally posted by Moliere View Post

Very nice, kc. I really like that fire pit area.

Beautiful, kc. You guys impress me. My yard is large and unspectacular, with lots of grass, a few trees that haven't died out of neglect or winter kill, and some flowers on the porch. Nothing else. I would never be responsible enough to take care of the cool back yards you guys have.sigpic

Those pool pictures are all lovely.
We had a pool "in" Oregon for the ten years we lived in the house we raised our kids in... and they loved it and they would swim once or twice a day during the (three months you could use a pool). I even liked cleaning the pool and such, late at night, it was a peaceful relaxing time. When our daughter was entering the 4th grade the teacher had a writing exercise for the kids. It began Do you remember.... and ended with..... That was summer! and they had to fill in the blank middle with one sentence. This is what our daughter wrote.
Do you remember...

It's because we all have an innate desire to work the land, and some of us just have a little pretend patch to work with so we make up stuff to tend.Originally posted by cowboy View Post"It's devastating, because we lost to a team that's not even in the Pac-12.

Pool is finally filled and we’ve been swimming the last couple days. Loving it. The kids think the colored lights are fun, too.
I also wanted to include a couple pics of the grass for Dwight Schr-Ute.

I wish. It was my first mow since installation, so it was really long. My mower kept clogging, requiring me to empty the bag with just about every pass. Total mowing time (not including trimming) took an hour and a half, when 25-30 minutes would normally suffice. Once it was all mowed, I made a last pass over the whole lawn, mowing the opposite direction. I figured I wouldn't catch much, but I still filled almost an entire mower bag.Originally posted by creekster View PostPrepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

That lawn looks great. Too bad that next spring it's going to transform into light green, think bladed, slow growing disappointment. [emoji853]Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
