Where are we today ?
Well last night we had the rain, major rain too! Most of the night and for a few hours this morning too. Love the sound of rain on our roof, almost like a lullaby. Did get a few walkabouts between rain drops this morning. Supposed to rain all day here but we got a reprieve. Basically stopped before 11 am and we could enjoy some more outside fresh air and reading.
We do have some wild life here, not big animals just small critters that pop up here and there. Still nice to see mother nature at her best.

Got some good reading time in today and enjoyed a sunny warm afternoon. I wandered over to the Fitness Centre for an hour and enjoyed a nice workout. Read some more. What a perfect day we had not too cold and we got to spend some great relaxing time together (our favorite kind of days).
a very nice afternoon |
About 4:30 I can begin prepping supper, whip a salad, prep the asparagus and a couple Wild Pacific Salmon burgers. Fired up our Weber Q to preheat then 20 minutes later we enjoyed another tasty supper. While I was cooking the skies opened up for about 30 minutes and we had a major downpour.
strong winds so put up our windscreen |
did the trick again |
Glad that you came by again, thanks for stopping in.

Sounds like quite the near perfect day. The rain helps keep the dust down....and it's good for keeping the greenery thriving.
ReplyDeleteIt was a perfect as most of them are, Things are growing here wonderfully too.
DeleteRainy days can be very nice... good for reading and cooking... looks like you did both. Hey... I love that toad!
ReplyDeleteExcellent day, and the toad was very interesting.
DeleteNever saw a black frog before.
ReplyDeleteNeither have I kinda cool.
DeleteI'm like you with the rain creating a very good sleeping environment.
ReplyDeleteIt sure does.
DeleteI love watching critters -- small or huge. Rain is okay once in a while but I hate it when it pours and pours.
ReplyDeleteWe don't mind it either, but not days on end.
DeleteNeither rain nor wind will stop you from cooking on your Weber Q! :c)
ReplyDeleteThats right not even snow and cold, gotta do it !
