Another very warm day, I know its gonna be a hot one when at 6 am it is already 74f and very humid, but heck I can deal with that, maybe not Suzie. So my early walkabouts in the cooler morning air, chat with a few people.Then about 9 am I headed into Forest for a few stops I wanted to make. One of them the Forest Farmers Market on Friday mornings in the summer, not large but some very nice local vendors, some selling produce that they actually grow. Right downtown on the main street of Forest.
bought fresh local strawberries here |
love these scones |
We have nice spot, lotsa shade until the late afternoon |
vey comfortable here |
Home about 3 p.m. and Suzie would like to go for a swim. No problem here, let's go for it !
you know it's hot when she wants to go for a swim |
So let's check out the outdoor pool. It is much deeper and not heated. Pretty nice and even more refreshing. We all cooled down and ready to get back to reading in the shade.
About 3:30 Paul and Judy stopped in for a visit (Happy Hour) we have not seen them for a while so it was a nice visit and catchup time. They were doing laundry right across from us so worked out perfectly.

While they visited I prepped supper. Tonight a couple fish fillets pan fried in fish crisp on our Weber Q. Also a couple of fresh local corn cobs on the grill that I had soaked in water for a while. Even grilled a 1/2 of a lemon, sure makes it wonderfully juicy to squeeze on our fish.
corn, lemon and fish on our grill |
the fish was wonderful as usual, corn very tender and sweet and juicy lemon with a very tasty salad, couple local strawberries too. |
another doggie fix for Suzie with Freddie |
Hope y'all had a great day and enjoyed whatever the weather threw at you too.

You eat so well and low fat. Great inspiration for me when I get home I think. That local produce looks very tempting. Much perfect for eating immediately. A dip to cool off is just what I've been doing here almost daily.
ReplyDeleteHealthy eating has become a way of life, amazing how much better we both feel. Love the local markets at this time of year too.
DeleteEnjoy the heat wave. Remember winter is coming:::: :)
ReplyDeleteWe do enjoy it very much, better than the cold that's for sure.
DeleteThe pool looks like the place to be in this weather. It's been nearly 100 during our travels so far.
ReplyDeleteThe pool is a wonderful place to cool down quickly.
DeleteIt is finally warming up here too! Yay! Wish we had a pool though...
ReplyDeleteWarming up is good, somebody else's pool is perfect, too much work to own one though.
DeleteWith that kind of heat, you may not need your Weber grill to cook dinner! ;c)
ReplyDeleteIt cooks quicker now !
