In case you need help with your investments in a down economy, I have a great idea…  a pool!  : )

I was outside watching the transformation of the pool…

The awesome tree that causes problems for my pool.  

So, they had everything cleaned and looking spectacular and then… the WIND.  I am going to leave it empty until the wind is gone forever.  A light movement of the tree and it puts a top coating on my water-little needles everywhere. 

BTW, my neighbors are super cool and I have never mentioned the tree problem to them.  I simply call their landscaper and remind them to trim it back away from the wall. If I get a cover, maybe my problems will be over?

I also made an investment in gardening.  I have 2 garden boxes and I am a proud garden mama!  It is so exciting to see growth.  It is one of the miracles we can see every day!
