Thank you Joseph not only for your congratulations but for you placement and this wonderful contest - and its prompts! I could just feel the soothing coolness of the water on a humid summer day. And, I loved visualizing the energy of the ladder leading to the water along with the excitement of the anticipation of a dip in the pool! All the best!

Looks like we're going to need it this weekend - another scorcher on the way! Even Hayward is going to be toasty for a couple of days. Hope you have a cool place to hide out in the heat. So glad you enjoyed the trip to this refreshing place! Thank you!
