Snapping turtles!!

Just found a good-sized snapping turtle in my pool....have no idea where he came from, but we've been having a lot of rain in the past few days and I live in the country, so it's anybody's guess. The kids will have a good time with it when they come home from school!

For about the last week, the night-time sounds of frogs are back...I have a koi pond installed next to my pool as part of the landscaping, so during the summer we hear frogs singing all night. It's a sure sign that summer is almost here!! The pool temp hit 74 degrees today, even with the rain. The kids know that the rule is 80 before they can swim, so they're now watching the thermometer closely. Looks like we'll be swimming for sure before the end of the month.

Happy swim season, everybody!
