Yesterday, we were asked by friends of ours if they could use our pool/ waterfall for prom pictures. Of course, my wife (with zero input from me) said 'absolutely!'
5 couples plus parents , friends, etc taking pictures, I figure about 25 to 30 people will show up. So what is usually a casual transition from winterization to summer fun season, has turned into a 'get-it-done-NOW' scramble. I've got 3 days. Luckily when we opened the pool last week, the water was beautiful. Clear as could be and no issue. The surrounding area though, not so beautiful. I'm frantically mowing, mulching, planting, removing tarps, pressure washing the deck, furniture, outdoor rugs, a little painting, a little staining etc, etc, etc. so it all looks somewhat presentable. It's going to go down to the wire, but I think I can pull it off.
If it rains on Friday and they decide to do pictures elsewhere indoors, I'm headed straight to the local watering hole for a few stiff ones....
