Blue Kiddie Pool

Today at 98 degrees I took out the big blue plastic kiddie pool and filled it using the hose. Then I stood in it with my dog and we splashed around in the water. I stepped out and threw his toys in and he fetched them. I had to hose him to get him to let go of one of the squeaky toys before he destroyed it. We played in the water for an hour or so. As my husband reminds me every spring, the neighborhood is QUIET by the time late July rolls around and it's true. Everyone is hiding indoors with their air conditioners blasting and I am outside in the shade drinking iced coffee stomping in mud puddles with my dog. Heaven.
