Chris Preparing to Help Place the Cover |
The pool was closed yesterday for the season and that marks the beginning of autumn for me. Why did I close the pool early this year when I normally keep it open until the last week of September or the first week of October? The dry heat caused me to close early.
Pool Ready for the Dark Season |
I always gauge closing the pool with the numbers of leaves falling to the ground. I mowed the lawn yesterday not because the grass was long, but to remove the leaves from the yard. Its sad that summer is ending so abruptly. I had hoped for a smooth slide into autumn.
While it was sad to place the cover and say another long good-bye to summer, I hate to admit that it was time. Pool season has effectively ended with morning temperatures in 60's the water temperature is getting to cold to be enjoyable.
On a good note, we moved the fire pit into the yard to begin to enjoy the autumn evenings on a more personal basis!
That is a lot like trying to find a silver lining in a black storm cloud.
