A Pool In A Backyard

Weather in California has been hot. Eight-six degree is at the low end and ninety four at the high end. Inside the house it is cool with air, but outside the sun seems to burn right through you. One alternative of being hot is to go swimming. Luckily, having a pool in the back yard is a plus. The water is cool in the morning but by afternoon it feels lukewarm. Either way, it is refreshing to jump in or (walk slowly down the steps) into the blue-green water.

My granddaughters spend more time in the water than I do but I like that I can get in whenever I feel like it.

Not only is the pool fun but being with two of my grandchildren is heaven on earth for me. We laugh, sing, watch movies, and what ever strikes us at the moment. My memories are when they were little girls and I have to keep reminding myself that they are young adults!

"When I was a child,

our summer days were

spent swimming; chlorine

in my hair was like perfume."
