Pools and Staying Above Water

This isn't the time to think about pools, because I am freezing, or perhaps it is because we are using our rain boots to stay dry. But I am more concern about staying above water, and not drowning in my to do list. You know how every year, someone always bring you the news that Christmas decorations are already up in the stores and Halloween isn't here yet? And you say, yes, they are getting earlier every year. Yet, next thing you know, it is Christmas week already, and you're scrambling to get those last minute gifts.

Before I know it, summer is here again. The pools will be picked over, and I don't want to be left with no choice. By the end of summer last year, we thought about above ground pools and I got a reminder from Trinity today. She came to me with a catalog and said "show me" that meant "let me show you", but because she learned from how we say it to her, and that is how it she used it. I think she has outgrown the kiddie pools and want company. Every year we would get one of those plastic pools, but it doesn't last long. It seemed dad put more effort in blowing it up and keeping it full of air than how long it actually lasts.

The leaves have all fallen off, leaving the trees bare and naked. Although I managed to save some photos of the gorgeous shades of leaves while the weather was turning. I guess I could imagine being in 70 degrees weather. I need an early start this year, and know what I want so that I don't end up without one in the middle of summer. Thus, I added another item to my to do list today.

Thanks for stopping by today.
