Ugh!!

Every evening at about 7pm Michael and I go swimming. But tonight I honestly thought we weren't going. I didn't want to walk in and just thought we'd stay home...Well at 8pm Michael asks me "aren't we going swimming tonight?", UGH! I told him the driveway was too muddy and we'd have to walk in and I thought that was the end of it...Nope! Here comes Michael with his swimshorts & rubber boots on and the lantern, sigh! Okay so we've pretty much been stuck home all day, so why not! I grabbed the tractor keys, just in case and off we went. It was almost dark but Michael didn't care...We got down to the driveway and it was pretty much dry so I told Michael here goes nothing and we got through all the way to the pool, yeah! I did notice my tires were pretty much coated in mud but I'd worry about that on the way out...time to enjoy the pool and the sunset!


It was a gorgeous sunset...

I had to use the skimmer net because there were lots and lots of ants! I guess because of the rain they headed for higher ground which was the pool walls and then they fell in, who knows. There were so many, there were clumps of them where they had tried to keep from drowning.

Michael giving me the A-Okay to swim, lol...The ants were all out of the pool!

The sky was beautiful tonight!

Michael was enjoying himself but then a bunch of gnats flew in and were getting all over me and everything else. I told him enough, lets go! It's the first time I've ever had problems getting him out of the pool and of course I'm fighting off flying critters who seem to like me, ekk...I was actually worried about getting out without getting stuck. We slipped a little bit near the bridge but I managed to gun the truck and get out, yeah!

Definitely got to work on the driveway!

We had quite a bit of lightening here this evening so I don't think I would have been in a pool. Glad y'all made it out without mishap.

Wow! You're one brave girl but then you are so much younger then me. lol Speaking of the ants reminded me of once we went to look at the river when it had flooded and we saw fire ants going down stream on a board. Odd sight.
