...and well! It hasn't quite been two months since I last posted. Pathetic, huh? It's been a busy time... getting the pool opened and ready to go, de-winterizing the place, catching up on paperwork and playing golf!
We have had extraordinary cool weather, and lots of clouds but relatively, not all that much rain. Only one big thunderstorm, one tornado warning (and yes, the sirens went off) and a few mistings. We've got the pool up and running, ready to go, but it's been too cool to turn on the heater. We tried today, and it sounded like the heater was on, but the top didn't get hot so we are concerned that maybe the pilot light isn't on. Doesn't make sense that we heard that whooshing noise when we turn it on though. We also tried to turn on our A/C, and it seems to be low on freon (sp?) so our A/C guy will be back today to fix it, and we can ask about the pilot light as well. The A/C guy noted a big ice block when he was here yesterday which explains why the A/C wasn't working, and he wanted to let it melt naturally since it is in our attic, and we don't need any more dripping from the ceiling like we had last year. Fun, huh?
After having a couple of weeks of playing golf relatively well, I had my worst game of the year yesterday. Ugh. I blame it on the slow moving group in front of us. Waiting to play each shot does nothing for your motivation, especially with a waiting twosome behind you! We were second in the line of our group's teetimes, so there was no moving through as we are part of the same group... and it was embarrassing to take 5 hours to play the course when you are second in line. No rangers on the course this year, at least, we haven't seen any yet. I think this may be due to the economy.
We've had some nice lunches and dinners lately with friends in places we'd never been before. Fun to find something new and unique!
We planted our annuals (in their pots) a couple of weeks ago, and they are doing well. I love the bright colors of annuals. Above are a couple of pictures of Mary and me in our yard and you might get a glimpse of some of the annuals. Hope you are all having a nice day!
