The weather came together nicely for Memorial Day and the 3 day weekend as a whole. Rather than rush out and try to cram a bunch of activities into the weekend we just stayed at home mostly and relaxed. Fired the grill up two out of the three days. Ribs, hamburgers, hotdogs, bratwurst, couldn’t go wrong really. The sod we laid weeks ago has taken nicely, the cooler weather has helped I’m sure. Picked up a few chaise lounges from the thrift store and had a nice time sitting out in the yard with the dogs and a cold beer. The pool is another story however, after battling algae for two weeks the pool store recommended we dump 25 pounds of shock treatment into it! Needless to say the chlorine level was much too high to enjoy it, though it’s a nice bright blue now, instead of green. Sadly, the break in the weather has clearly come to an end and we’re quickly approaching 110 degrees.
