The end of pool season 2009 :(

On 10/18/2009, we officially ended the pool season by covering the pool. Temperatures are in the low 60s and it's time to "close shop" 'til spring. Precious, our almost 9 year old Scottie, marked the occasion by taking a "header" in to the deep end (mind you, the water temperature is probably in the high 60s or low 70s). She was pursuing a bee that had landed in the pool. Ray yanked her out and all is well. (The funny thing is that Precious has only gone into the pool twice in a year and a half - the first time was in March 2008 and second time was this weekend. I can't quite figure out why she doesn't try to jump in during warm weather!) I'm looking forward to warmer temps and the next pool season. I can't complain; winter in South Carlina is a cake walk compared to winter up north!
