I'm ready for a pool!

greenspun.com : LUSENET : CountrySide Family : One Thread

I have toyed with the idea of a swimming pool for several years. My grandkids luv to swim, and though we play in the creek lots, the water level is so low, and has been now for a few years, that it is only good for wading. We are in the 5th year of drought here, and thanks to considerable over development without sufficient infrastructure or planning, wells and water sources are drying up everywhere.

I've always wanted a pool, but everyone I know who has one complains of the maintenance and upkeep. I have many trees, ( leaves and debris), and I have more than many chicks and ducks, ( feathers and poops), so I would dream, but never seriously.

Along comes this months issue of Mother Earth News, and a wonderful article on NATURAL ponds/swimming pools. Very enticing, and worth a read. . . . .it's online at the MEN url.

Aren't those "pools" gorgeous? ??
