Just a spoonful of sugar

Now that summer is almost over, this picture is almost nostalgic. Grandma enlisted Sally, Susan, and Spot to help get her pool ready for the swimming season. It’s solar-heated, and, because Grandma is a softy about her grandkids, often heater-heated too. We like it at a comfortable 88 degrees, which wouldn’t be very refreshing, except for the brisk mountain breezes and zero humidity. Night swimming is always tempting, but getting out is painful. The view, of mountains and valley, is unbelievable.
