The pool closers did their thing.
We live in a one-season climate for the backyard pool, for sure.
This was a very good season for dipping, I will say. Thank you, my dear wife Karen, for your wonderful pool upkeep so we could thoroughly enjoy our oasis.

It is a sad time when the cover comes over the pool. But I must say, I did take a swim in my pool today!

That looks like a very well locked-down pool, and it is now ready to take on whatever comes its way over the next few months.

The amount of snow that can fall here, the cover has to be strong, Bruce!

Great job, Karen, on your season! Mark, it feels like “yesterday” when you closed it last time. It feels like an hour ago you opened it. Time is fleeting and I love how your family celebrates it all! 💛
