Just a short month ago, Andy and I were still wading into the space you see in this nifty photo. For those trying to make heads and tails of it, it’s the reflection of some trees in our pool cover, when it was first pulled on, and a rainstorm created the puddles of clear water that act like mirrors here. The underwater leaves act as a disorienting element that lends the picture a slightly surreal aspect which I heartily enjoy.
At the start of the summer we had little joy here. I can still picture Andy sitting forlornly at the edge of the pool, feet hanging disconsolately over the deep end, before the new steps and liner were installed. But they went in eventually, and we recovered a couple months of swim time and summer enjoyment. Just enough to what our appetite for more, and so we settle into an anticipatory winter, hunkering down and keeping cozy as best we can before spring’s inevitable return.
I like having something to which we can look forward. It keeps us going. It gives us hope. We need that right now.
