Extremely Steamy

Katie, Ringo, TenshiYou can't blame them for playing indoors. Yes, they have been outdoors quite a bit. We hosed the ground to cool it off. It felt like 43c today and at this moment it is 33c without the feel like temp. With the feel like temps it is 41c as I type.

They love, love, love the tv room as its a cool room. 

Here is the gallery.

They say temps are taking a dive tonight to pants weather. Got to love it. Nathan said can we close the pool now? I said not yet. Kat, Roxie and Ella went swimming. I semi brushed out Kat and realized my back is very unhappy so Nathan brushed out the wet dogs. If I am still in this shape tomorrow I am going to get it checked. Walking seems to help but bending or twisting not so much. LOL I do have a back brace acquired today.  Ice packs in bed tonight. I need to be better as doing Chloe, Fenton and Cali was a miracle. 

Chloe departs anytime now. She had a blast. Cali and Fenton also go tonight. <sigh> We have had grand fun with these guys!

Amy and Tenshi comes for the day and Pippin is visiting us starting tomorrow. 

Class - tomorrow night. I am hoping I can go but we shall see.

Sure hope that your back pain gets better fast. It sure affects everything!🙁

Temps are said to rise high again for next week, might need the pool to cool off!
Doggies went for their walks prior to it getting too hot, they don't like it hot as well.
You should get that back checked, I suspect it's some disc issue. My elderly dad(90) has disc issues and any long car rides for him means pain for days, so make sure you take some pain meds (muscle relaxants as well) and dose yourself carefully.

Yeah....

Darlah I have a good chiropractor but you need to have the time to go. Like me. I don't go enough. Hope the pain eases. You do a lot of bending. My back hurts for you. Take care. Love the pic of Chloe. And the rest of course. Tell Nathan you need the pool for therapy.

Darlah, I hope your back will recover soon. I used to have major back pain because of my ankylosing spondylitis to the point that I couldn’t walk because of the pain. I understand how you feel. Yes, go check it out.

I was wondering why Nathan wanted to close the pool so early and then it dawned on me that he's anxious to see the new cover on . . . don't you usually wait till Thanksgiving?

Darlah - Hope your back improves. I have a gadget they call Back Joy that positions the hips properly when sitting. It doesn't come out of my car. TSC used to sell them, but I believe Shoppers Drug Mart now has them. Today, is Senior's Day @ Shoppers. :-)

He ALWAYS wants to close early as he sees a smaller energy bill. I use the pool much more than him. I usually wait till we consistently have cold days.

September 6, 2018 | Registered CommenterDarlah

We used to wait till the week after Thanksgiving back in the day when we used the old black tarp and blue water bags - - so ugly to look at. Now that we have the custom cover similar to yours, I tell Doug to close as soon as the leaves begin to fall. I'd rather he do that than me have to listen to him complain and be grumpy about cleaning the pool out when no one's using it.

I hope you find some relief for that back pain soon! It's debilitating ad clouds everything.

Chloe looks like she has a belt around her. So cute!
