Now you see it...now you don't!






Bye swimming pool. You were good to us but the time has come.

On Day 2 of pool demolition, I let the dogs into the backyard to inspect the "new" space. Well, at first they inspected the perimeter of the now gone pool. Then it hit them that they can RUN into that space! Dogzoomies!

Then the rain came.

And it didn't stop for 3 days. So it's a little bit... muddy out there. A lot muddy. The work will resume on the yard after things get a chance to dry out of bit (grading, topsoil, seed, fertilize and straw). Even though Ben gives me sad puppy eyes to go play in the mud (he LOVES mud) I can't bring myself to let him have at it. He's okay, no worries, all the gazillion extra leash walks make up for it.

So for now, we will dream of the "new" space. And cross all our fingers and paws that we get some grass to grow back there before winter rears so we're not looking at mud the entire winter.
