Just last week we still had this persistent patch of ice in our yard.
But that didn’t stop Cricket from wanting to do this:
There was about a foot of water in the pool, which is propped up against the deck. No, Cricket, the pool is not open yet.
“I beg to differ, Mom.”
I’m sure Sheba would have joined her if she was a bit more agile. They were all drinking the water out of it, but it ended up pretty muddy so I had my hubby dump it. It really has not been that warm, except for an occasional 60-70 degree day here and there. I’m anxious for the pool too, because I want to see how Luke is going to like it. But I need more consistent warm days for that. After all, this was the scene just yesterday on our favorite walking/running trail:
I rest my case, Cricket!
Thank you to BlogPaws for hosting the Wordless Wednesday blog hop. Please visit other participants through the links below!
We are finally starting to see buds on some trees and a few are flowing. They should be leafed out already!
I know, we are way behind here….except when it comes to the insects (though we haven’t seen black flies yet….knock wood)! At least my forsythias are finally blooming.
Wow, I can’t believe you guys still have some ice patches! I hope they melt soon so you can start using the pool again. 🙂
I know, it’s crazy, right? It’s warmer today, and that sun is finally out, so maybe we’re headed in the right direction anyway!
I hope your weather improves soon! It’s supposed to be 88 degrees here tomorrow and we’re going to the beach next week.
Oh boy, aren’t you lucky? Things are looking up here, we’ll see!
Sheesh ice still? It’s a bit cooler today, but it has been pretty hot here!
Oh, HOT, now that sounds good! We’d settle for WARM. 🙂
Sounds like you are having better weather than us! We are barely leaving the 40s to the 50s! I don’t like my pool, mom puts my toys in it and makes me get them. Love Dolly
Oh no, I didn’t think anyone was having worse weather than we were! I feel for you.
Our beagle Kobi never liked the pool either….even if we floated a treat in it, he wouldn’t go in, and he lived for treats! lol
Hope the ice melts soon and that everybody gets to play in the pool. That reminds me, I must get the pool sorted out for my gang!
Thanks! I bet your gang is looking forward to it also!
Can’t believe you still have lingering snow…it’s MAY!
I know….what the heck?! If this keeps up we’ll be on our way to CA soon!
I’ll bet Luke is going to have a blast in the pool. Geez, your winter is hanging around way too long!
No kidding! They’re promising us a warm up this weekend, but I think they’ve promised us that before, so we’ll see.
One thing for sure is that I will have the camera out for Luke’s first time in!
Wow! That really is a persistent patch of snow/ice. I am sure it will be pool time soon!
Maybe this weekend!
hahaha silly girl, I thought it would be the retriever getting into the water.
You would think, wouldn’t you?
Awww … You guys can come to my house if you want to get in the pool. It’s supposed to be in the upper 80’s this weekend.
We’re packing our bags now! 🙂
You do still have a lot of ice! Our trees are finally getting green here. Can’t wait to see how the pool goes over.
Not much green here yet, but my forsythia bushes are just starting to show some yellow. We’re hoping for nice weather this weekend, so maybe the pool can come out then!
My pool won’t be out for a few more weeks either. We keep it in the garage when it isn’t being used. Maybe I can sneak into the pool in Vegas next week…that would be a good trick!
That’s a great idea, Emma, make sure you take some video or photos! BOL!
A pool? you’re cwayzie! WOL!
Just a little bit! 🙂
The ice took a bit of time to melt down here. About 2 weeks ago I was driving by one of the public pools and I thought, “did they build a new wall there?” As I got closer I could see it was one of those hideous walls of snow that wind up on the edges of the parking lots. Have to check and see if it’s gone yet.
Hang in there Cricket, springs a coming!
Yeah, those big huge piles of black snow can last a long time!
We’re hoping for better weather this weekend….maybe the pool will finally open. I’m sure Cricket will be rallying for it!
Ya….warmer weather is a good idea.
It’s definitely called for!
haha! We had a very persistent snow bank in our yard, it is finally gone now though, but me and my hubby had a bet on which day the bank would be melted. It ended up being a tie! BOL!!
Crazy pups trying to swim already!
ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
I remember you saying that…because I was going to ask my hubby if he wanted to do the same thing! LOL
Gorgeous photos… at least it’s starting to get warmer now!
The forecast is looking good after tomorrow….fingers crossed!
