I looked up when the HOA's pool opens... April 11th! Whoa, that's only 2.5 weeks away.
We have a solar heater for the pool, which just means that some of the water gets pumped up to the roof and goes through pipes and these thin black flat bags to absorb some sun heat. It is generally recommended to start this a month before you want to go swimming, and it extends the swim season at least a month in each direction (seems to be about May-Sept, instead of June-Aug). Combined with those plastic bubble covers, it can raise the pool temperature up to 10 degrees, which REALLY matters to me in spring and at night.
So I'm a week and a half late to catch the start of swim season, I guess. I turned the heater on and went on the roof (my first time up there) to check the contraption for leaks. No leaks, but the kids down the street saw me up there and looked at me like I was a crazy person. I'm not crazy, exactly... just enthusiastic about mermaidhood.
Summertime, HERE I COME!!!
