Work From Home

Today was another work from home day. A beautiful day to be outside and get a lot of stuff done.

Another Day

So I spent the day today with the boy who was home from school after spending 7 1/2 hours at the ER last night and into this morning with abdominal pain. They didn't really find anything and want us to monitor how he does. Today we went to our normal doctor and got a similar plan. So the boy and I stayed around the house and were mellow. Quite the change from the boy that was jumping in the pool this past weekend.

Love The Pool

My back yard is great, even when not in the pool it's relaxing and peaceful.  Sometimes there is wildlife: bears, raccoons, rattlesnakes, collies and Bassett hounds.

Last Swim

We got a lady splash in before the end of summer, school starts tomorrow. We are in Southern California so we will likely get user of the pool for another month or two.

Conference Call from the Poolside

Today was my work from home day. The weather was amazing, not too hot and great to be outside, so I was.

Lifeguard

I spent the day Sunday like this.

Pool

I love our pool.

Pineapple

Our neighbor has this palm tree, it looks a little like a pineapple. It's part of the scenery when I sit out by the pool.

More Pool time

Spent more time in the pool today. It was a warm one.

I continue to be amazed at the boy and his confidence. He let me throw him in the deep end.

Underwater

Spent a lot of time in the pool on this 4th of July.

And I discovered my camera phone is water resistant.

At The Pool Again

Lacy loves lounging by the pool, and this is her spot.

Relax

Spent a large portion of the day relaxing by the pool.

Orange Slice

For Father's Day the kids got me a pool float. A giant orange slice.

The problem is, they don't realize the whole reason we built the pool was so I could just float and relax. They seem to think its so they can climb on and push me off of the float.

Swim Test

Every year we get the dogs in the pool and make sure they swim to the big step where it's easy to get out.

They don't really like the water much which is good, then they aren't going in just for fun. When we swim the dogs like being near us but the collie always pulls the basset hound away from the edge to make sure she is safe.

Lounging At The Pool

Bassett Hounds are not known for their affinity to the water, Lacy just likes lounging by the pool.

Now Open

First swim of the year.

Pool

Even in winter I love the pool.
