Recently, we've been booking the 6 PM slot at our community pool. At that hour it is less crowded; most families are at home for dinner, and the golden slant of the evening sun over the aquamarine of the still water is beautiful. We enjoy treading and floating in the deep end and talking away as many of our cares as we can. That's a big job this summer, but the weightlessness of the water helps.
It takes a little planning to make it to the pool at that time. We eat dinner when we get home, so I like to have our meal ready to go. Lucy needs exercise, and I have all number of other chores for myself. Some days I go to the garden, some days are for baking bread, and every day is for writing, reading, and working out. Having all of those things taken care of before we go to the pool makes the evening much more enjoyable.
And so here you find me, but not for long: exercise ring closed, tomatoes picked, bread rising, summer seafood chowder simmering, dog exercised, and blog written.
The pool awaits!
