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.
