It would seem that living in the desert where summer
temperatures reach upper 90's and into the high, a
pool is a reasonable expense.
We thought that it would be an almost
year round enjoyment, however we found out that the
pool season is not that much longer than back in the
Midwest. Some time in early May the pools here are
starting to be used and they go until about
September. The big difference is that the intense
summers days make for more of an opportunity.
One day soon after we starting using
the pool, I got out of the pool and started
shivering. I looked at the thermometer hanging on
the wall and it said 103. The air is so dry here
that your body skin starts evaporating the water so
fast that it feels very cold - very weird!
It also serves as a nice, but
expensive, landscape feature in our backyard.
