If you read my blog entry from May 11th, "Our Pool is Cool" you already know where I'm heading with this:

It's 105 degrees in Sacramento and it's too hot to swim. Our pool temp, which I've been obsessed with for the past 4 months, has now hit an all-time high of 90 degrees.

Jeff and I were going to take a dip this afternoon to "refresh ourselves". But there is nothing refreshing about 90 degree water on a 105 degree day.

What do we do now? Will the pool be 90 degrees-----or even warmer------for the next 4 months? Will it be September before it's cooled down enough to where we'll enjoy taking a "refreshing dip"?

We've been so obsessed with making our pool warmer for so long now that we're at a loss of what to do when it's too warm. We never thought that would happen.

Should we add ice? And how much? Would dry ice work or is that dangerous?

Everyone told us that having a pool is a lot of work but we didn't see this coming.

Of course, it seems ridiculous to be complaining about a swimming pool, doesn't it?

Still, we love our pool and we're getting it figured out. On hot days we swim after 8 PM......and in a "natural state", if you know what I mean. Now that's real refreshment!
