I haven't been in my studio since the end of June and after seeing what has occurred in my pool I am freshly inspired and I am turning my pool into a frog sanctuary for the rest of the summer....
We are half way through July and I have decided to close my pool. Why would I make such a choice on a day that threatens to bring us temperatures in the mid 90's? After returning from 10 days away from home I am faced with not a blue sparkling chill out spot but a green mess. Fortunately for me my kids stopped over for a quick hug and "I love you" and as I watched them chase and try to catch frogs out of the pool I took a lesson from them. Make the most of what you have. Find joy in the little things. Observing and being in nature is fun. I asked them if they cared if I cleaned the pool or not. While explaining to them this meant they would not be able to swim, my daughter reminded me about the time I had to rescue a baby rabbit from the pool. Did you know if you grab a baby rabbit they scream? I screamed too.
If you want to come to the swimming hole bring your net and leave the goggles at home.
