A new season!

A few weeks ago I undertook the depressing task of covering our pool. That's always the final nail in summer's coffin. I hate doing it, and I hate what it brings. Less daylight, cold temperatures, and yes, even snow. However, yesterday I cleaned out the hot tub (BIG job!), filled it with water (450 gallons takes a while), and let it heat up overnight. Soooooooo... swimming season is over, but hot tub season is here. It's not a bad consolation prize, but I still prefer long summer days, and warm summer nights.
Here she is all cleaned up and ready to be filled with water---
