Spring thaw

Well, the pool liner is trashed, the ladder is broken, the wall of the pool is split and bent in a bunch of places. I'm sure that the pump is all cracked from being left out all winter, same goes for the filter. It's as if someone just abandoned the pool in the fall, with no winter preparation whatsoever. There are pool toys of all kinds, entombed in the ice. The ice that's shredding the new liner that I put in last year. Winter came in fast and hard with no time to prepare. She was a swift and evil whore this year. I didn't even have time to put my riding and push lawnmowers away(In the empty shed they are parked next to.) I can see the top of the seat to the mower, peaking out of the snow. My 300. dollar mosquito magnet is also coming into view as the snow melts. Not to mention the camper that I didn't get a chance to cover. Or my BBQ that I left running with the lid up and hamburgers still cooking. All ruined.
