Of all the amenities available in S.V. the one we use the most is the outdoor swimming pool. These pictures were taken in November of 2014, but this is exactly what it looked liked today. View from the east of about 2/3 of the pool:
The current air temperature is just 55ºF and there's a stiff breeze. The sky is deep blue, the sunlight is comforting and the clouds are just as they are in this picture. The pool is heated to 84ºF, but today it seemed they had upped the temperature just a bit. It was blissful, taking our usual leisurely swim for about 45 minutes. We had the pool to ourselves. It takes a couple of crazy "Canucks" to go swimming when it's cold and windy.
Yesterday it was cold and rainy, in fact it's been cold and rainy since Saturday. But Arizona always needs the moisture, so we don't complain. When we went to the pool yesterday the rain was a sparse mist, but after a half hour swim it had intensified to a steady shower. We cut our swim short, went home (to the condo) and brewed up some rich hot chocolate.
I'm making good progress on packing and cleaning in preparation for leaving on Friday morning. Just need to wash the stove and fridge and they are not very dirty. We'll vacuum and dust before we go so everything is good and clean for when Mort arrives that afternoon.
We appreciate Mort as a renter, even though we've never met him. The couple who rented in the spring six years ago put us in touch with him. Everyone who meets him says he's a really nice fellow. He leaves the condo as clean as he found it and always pays the rent on time. That really helps with the condo fees which must be paid year 'round. So this arrangement seems to work well for him and for us.
