Warm weather

Yesterday and today the temperature has been in the 80’s.

Today:

I think yesterday it got up to 85*. So much for Spring, it’s already feeling like summer. 

We have been getting a lot of yard work done and still have a long list of things to do in the next few weeks (including weeding, mulch, the sandbox, and pressure washing the deck, etc.). We opened the pool this week and will be having propane delivered in a few days (next time I’ll call earlier because they had a longer wait than we expected). 

I can’t wait for us to be able to splash around in here. (Picture is after vacuuming the pool- vacuum is in the spa.) We were really happy with how clean the water was when we opened it. It didn’t take long to get it back to sparkling blue.  We are planning to pressure wash the surrounding concrete when we get one for the deck. This week, I need to weed the border and then we plan to add rocks in a few places and replace the stepping stones by the gate)

I love the flowers on this tree (they smell amazing every time we walk by it) but they are already starting to fall and the leaves are coming back.
