Good point, TM!!
Kim, you did a great job with Helen's plaster
It's true, everyone's pool works out to be perfect for them.

Has the polar bear club convened yet? Your water has to be warmer than the MSP PBP at SPSP.
Not here, not yet -- you? My kids are too old to be lured in, but my dog almost went in after the cleaner a few times yesterday

Not here. My pool has no reason to be open quite yet.
Yours looks great by the way.

Our grandkids dropped in for a second or two. Ha. It was too cold. The water temp was 71. [emoji3]

The kids and I jumped in today for a few hrs and it was cold at first. 72°. The wife wasn't having it though.
We had a first grader over on Sunday and I thought for sure he was going to jump in from the bond beam. 72 is just too cooooold!!! Before he left he asked when he can come back, LOL.
Helen!!! Just catching up on your thread..... OMG - your landscaping is absolutely wonderful! It is so lush - what I love!!! And what a shot with your regal puppy dog!!!! This shot of him with the landscaping and pool in the background is worthy of a calendar!!!! No kidding!

And now about your pool..... It is beautiful and lovely - serene and peaceful! Yes, I could dream away by and in this pool! I'm in love with all the grays - such a beautiful accent to the lush greens and colors of your gardens. And don't you love the "Helen steps"?!!! They are such a wonderful and graceful feature all by themselves! You'll love the ease of going up and down them - so will everyone else! What a great summer you and your family will have!!!
I'm like your husband! This is how pools should look! I just realized that the other day when I went to test a friend's water. His is white plaster (just plain old plaster). I sighed and thought to myself, 'This is what I should have gotten. It's what I grew up seeing at the community pools." (yes, I will probably die still second guessing my plaster color - LOL!!!!)
I know you're thrilled! C'mon Summer!!!!! :sun::sun::sun:

Almost full, will have to see how/if it changes this month:
Thanks, ladies! Credit for the gardening goes to my husband. He did a great job finding and repositioning plants displaced during construction (all over the place!!!), dividing the survivors, and adding some new things. As with all gardens, it will take a few years to settle down and start looking its best. One day, it may be warm enough in Maryland to actually swim, tho Greg and the boys have dipped in.

Suz, I still pine for a darker plaster when the water is still. But once we have the pumps and waterfalls going, the surface is sparkly and I'm good with the finish!

:bowdown: Impressive.
It all looks great! I'm enjoying seeing our pool area perennials, etc. all thrive this spring...it is something that brings me endless joy.

What color and type of pebble is your pool? From what you cash see in the pic, it's very pretty! What a lovely backyard!

Hi Helen,
I'm right outside of Annapolis and in the process of planning. Can you send me your PB information?
Your pool is gorgeous!
Thanks!
