Where are we today ?
Well hey, gotta love the weather and the forecast for the next ten days !
Much warmer and some sunshine, even a bit of rain, no problem as long as its warm. April showers bring May flowers etc...
This morning we just puttered along, mostly just cleaning and wiping stuff down. Two of the 3 bathrooms cleaned, both kitchens the cupboards, washed out, some walls washed and baseboards too. No need to wait until the last minute.
After a light lunch Suzie and her Dad headed in to visit her mom and I got to take off and enjoy a wonderful walkabout town. Perfect weather for it, sunshine and no wind, much better and more fun than the indoor track. It is a small town and can walk most of it in about and hour and half. At least a circle tour. Took a slightly different route this time and enjoyed more nice old and interesting houses along the way.

Just enjoying the fresh air , sunshine and exercise. Losta new sights to see.
Turn down a side street and one block I am in the country.
Another 2 blocks and one on the many Churches in town.
Have to go over the Nith river, the water fall always intrigues me, so peaceful.

Back home the flowers are beginning to bloom, so fragrant had to bring a clipping inside for Suzie.
 |
| daffodils are always a welcome site |
I even had some time to enjoy my e -reader in the sun on the back deck for a while. T-shirt and shorts = awesome. Actually very hot, love it!
As Suzie heads home I begin whipping up supper. Tonight, something we rarely do anymore. I picked up a couple Rib-eye steaks on sale a while ago and thought with this great weather time for a good BBQ. We don't eat much beef anymore but do enjoy it (will suffer afterwards) but at least we don't do it too often. So went all out steak, baked potato, fresh mushrooms and onions, and a fresh garlic parmesan bun from the bakery at Sobeys.

| add the salad and we had a feast for sure |
Now that was an amazing day and the weather is getting better now, can't wait to move back into our house one week today.
Hope your day was as wonderful as ours and would like to thank y'al, for stopping by again.
Check out the interactive map below to see where we have been this past Winter.
Love those old neighborhoods.
ReplyDeleteYou are having better weather than we are. Darn the bad luck.
We will take all this weather we can get.
DeleteAnother great walk around...most houses seem to be 2 or 3 stories high. Around here no one likes stairs and keep them low...must be preparing for old bones...LOL
ReplyDeleteWe prefer no stairs too, but a two story house is cheaper to build and easier to heat.
DeleteA great day! And the count down is on! Soon you will be back on the road. Dinner looks great!
ReplyDeleteAt least we will be back in our house, not going too far for a while.
DeleteI love all those old big houses. I don't want to own one but I sure do like looking at them. It's going to be HOT here this week. Seems to be about right on schedule for our first 100 degree day.
ReplyDeleteOf my 11 homes, 4 were very old and they have so much warmth and character to them, compared to a new house.
DeleteIt will be quite a while yet before we get to 100 degrees.
Much prefer the older homes to the cookie cutter ones stuck side by side.
ReplyDeleteYes I do too, much more character.
DeleteA nice walk followed up with a steak sounds like a pretty fine day.
ReplyDeleteIt sure was an excellent day.
