The Transformation of the Pool

The pool Saturday morning,
full of leaves, pine needles ... and teeny, tiny tadpoles.

By Monday morning the pool was pristine and clean, and half-way filled.

I was so sore Saturday evening that I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get out of bed Sunday, but I felt just fine. I had to order a hose and a couple valves, so I can't turn on the filter just yet. The water is a chilly 73º, so we're not in any hurry to dive in! The parts should arrive in a few days, and maybe by then the water will have warmed enough to make getting in palatable ... and perhaps even enjoyable!
