Shhh…. Today I turned on my heat. When my husband finds out I will be in trouble. This morning as I was working on my computer my hands were numb, I sat at my desk with a blanket wrapped around me. Now I admit I get cold easy but when I looked at my thermostat it was only 61 degrees in the house! I turned on the heat and thought today will be a great day to look back at photos of summer and warmer days.
As I wrote about in part 1 of what I did last summer we spent much of our time at home. Alphonso (husband) and I got a quote for a pool and sadly decided to wait on it this year. I did however talk him into a pool. He wasn’t happy about it, but we put it up in the yard. This pool looks awful in the yard. Its not pretty or elegant and is far from my vision of a beautiful backyard. I want a backyard like the ones you see created on HGTV. If a designer from one of the home shows showed up at my house they would tear it down without even taking a breath first. Yes, its pretty bad. I am going to take this opportunity to say I am sorry to my next door neighbor for having to look at it!
Having said all that I believe that this pool was the best $199 I spent all summer! The kids loved it! Everyday it wasn’t raining they were in the pool. My little guy A. who was not very comfortable in the water now jumps in head under and all.
We also installed a hot tub! OK not really. We do have a small kids pool that I filled with hot water. My mom friends think I am nuts for filling the pool with warm water. I have a hot water tap outside and use it to fill the pool and the kids love it! I must admit that before we moved into this house I used buckets that I carried from the kitchen with warm water to fill the kiddie pool. See.. I told you I hated being cold!
Hot tub
Last a a picture of the pool to really get a a visual of what my poor neighbor has to look at out her back windows.
Beautiful, as always! xoxoxo
