A light rain is falling accompanied by a cold ‘breeze’... I’m wearing leggings, my flannel shirt, and wool socks which are warm enough for in the house, but gosh! it’s freezing outside. I’m sure it’s a welcome respite for many as the past few days have been off the charts hot!
We got 60mm of rain yesterday and overnight. More today but haven’t checked the gauge.
Tina and Bruce came for an overnight visit on Saturday - we sweated on the deck, jumping into the pool to refresh several times. Sunday morning was lovely as well - we swam twice! The deck was great - we used each area several times, moving with the shade. After they left I mentioned to Carm that we have to do this more than once a year!
The Presquile sunshade worked great! And made it obvious what size of gazebo we need - 12x12 looks perfect. Having a proper gazebo will be awesome as shade is hard to come by from about 11 to 3 pm.
Lupa wore her life jacket for much of the time we were outside - she didn’t fall in but she wasn’t hanging about the edge of the pool either. Tina and Bruce are not dog people but Lupa did spend a certain amount of time on people’s laps ;-) She barked at first but I think for not as long as she has in the past.
I’m tempted to go for a quick dip just-because (edited later tonight - did NOT find myself warm enough to jump in - it was more of a hot bath sort of day).

Awesome!
