After a week of back breaking work to put down weed cloth and sand and level the ground, patch the liner, set up the pool, filter and landscape rocks with boarders around the perimeter in over 100 degree heat with winds, Michael was rewarded by watching the kids jump in and frolic for a sunset dip.
Of course, now that the pool is up and full of fresh cool well water, it is no longer over 100 degrees. So, there were some chattering teeth.
And how wonderful this is going to feel through the rest of July and August! Thanks, Michael. You are a super hero dad. Build it and they will come!
In other farm news, there is a bumper crop of nectarines! I've made two cobblers already and need to get cracking on preserving them. We can smell the sweet scent of nectarines whenever we go into the orchard. I love yard food! (Birds and bees love it too).
Speaking of yard food, we didn't eat ALL of the artichokes (but they were so good!) now these "educated thistles" add to the beauty of the yard and provide a habitat/food for the bees. We can't help but to think of them like clown fish in an anemone.
