Pool - Part 2

I shared with you last week about installing our pool and adding onto our existing deck a couple of years ago.  After five seasons now, it never gets old and we use it daily.  I love looking out the window and seeing all the bright blue  , it just makes me happy.  Here's what it looks like today.  It's pretty plain, but considering the use by all the kids, it needs to be functional and it is!   



The pool has direct sun all day until about 4:30 and we have shade all day on the deck which is wonderful.
You can tell by my photo where the line starts and as the season goes on the line of sun gets smaller, but we won't talk about that...



Remember what our back yard use to look like

We have plenty of room with two loungers and 8 additional stackable chairs.  We also fill the space with

noodles in every color, round tubes, swim flippers, and a bazillion kids...  

Here's the original deck off of the house and we just built on to it when we installed the pool.  You step up

one step and you have complete access to the pool. 

The view from the kitchen.  We love our table and chairs out on the deck and we use

them all the time to eat as a family. It's so easy since it's right off of the

kitchen.  Perfect for entertaining too!

I have two deck planters with annuals in them I put together every year.  They hang from the

deck railings and theyreally add a lot of color.  

I also have some ferns by the sliding glass door

and a couple shade loving annuals in pots.

Last but not least we have this guy who moves

around the deck...he has to stay in the back yard

because we have some serious Cardinal fans next door

and we wouldn't want him to go missing....just say'n :)
