Rain, rain go away.....come again some other day

Gary would love to have a pool too, but it's just too much upkeep and expense. There are lots of houses around us that have pools, but I am glad we do not.

They are a big expense to maintain. While I do like the larger size of the pond for swimming....I like the cleaner water of a pool!!! We've been putting some stuff in to make the water clearer and more blue......so that helps to make it better!!!! This year we have ducks to put on.......I sure hope they don't eat my lily pad blooms!!!! We won't have them very long......they end up being coyote and fox food!!!! Poor things!!! My husband bought them and I didn't know it.

We really enjoyed the above ground pool we had. But trying to keep it clean and clear was a lot of work and the chemicals were expensive. Still....floating around on a raft sure sounds good right night.

It sure does!!! My little housekeeper just left a while ago and floating in a pool sounds really nice!!!

It was pretty decent yesterday and today, but tomorrow and for the next few days the temps are heading into the 90's and the humidity is going up. Hope it doesn't stay this way all summer....I absolutely love the 70 and low 80's with no humidity. So relaxing especially if there is a slight breeze. Yes....I'm beginning to wander in my mind again....

We are going to be 95-100 for at least 7 days out, with no chance for rain. It looks horrible here, every thing that is not watered, is dead and brown. The sides of the roads look awful. We probably won't get any rain till a tropical storm or hurricane comes into the coast. When that happens, I have to worry about my kids in Houston. I just can't win for losing!!!

We need rain soooo badly. It's horribly dry. The farmers are having a really bad year, and the ranchers are spending all their money on feed since there is no grass. It's strange how some have too much water and others are in such need.

The twisters can go away from all of us though!!!

I feel guilty to post this, but I am going to the pool today! It's just beautiful and sunny here, with a chance of rain this afternoon (as always). Our pool is on top of the mountain. The view is magnificent, the sun is strong up there, and the pool is heated. I am taking my mp3 player and am going to lay on a lounge and listen to the audiobook I uploaded into the player. I may take my Kindle that I just bought tomorrow.

Okay, so now that I have told you all about the perfect spot to spend summer, please remember that when winter comes, and we have 10 feet of snow for months on end, and no sun ever, you are enjoying better winters.

I got a portable air conditioner on eBay last year. I used it over the weekend, and what a difference! It really cuts the humidity and cools my downstairs off enough to be quite comfy. We usually have cool nights and mornings, but there are usually a few days and nights of heat wave weather.
