Summer fading fast



Every time I get to spend a little time in the pool these days I feel like I'm saying goodbye to a friend who is going away for a long stay elsewhere.

Each day it takes more time get ahead of falling leaves and storm debris. Still, I'll be going in until it's too cold for penguins. 

Then we let the leaves fall and stay and the pool becomes a pond again. This year I may get some guppies to keep the frogs company.

oh my good lord, i must put my glasses on when at the computer--i saw a giant pair of scissors entering your pool.......
we're taking walks every night as our days get shorter and our morns cooler along our river.

I see the scissors too. Swim until there is frost. It is such a great way to relax.
