Frost, sunshine, lawn mowing and a hockey game what a great day it was.

Where are we today ?
 clic a pic to enlarge it
      Getting colder by the day 36F at 5am and we had frost, As noticed on my first walkabout at 7:30 this morning.
yup we had frost
       Walking about town I noticed a few roofs had frost on them as well.
      Back home we cozy here and Suzie very warm under her new blanket that SIL Sandy custom made for her. enjoying her e-reader.
she is cozy here
what a wonderful sunny day we are having
     After a light lunch I took another walkabout town. Yup around the subdivisions for a change of pace got over 3 miles in so far.
newer part of town
          I was hoping to mow the 5 acres here one more time before we head south for the winter.. Only have a few more days before we leave but the mower is broken down, John is waiting for parts to get the repair done. The throttle cable was broken and he did not get the part yet, so he went see what he could do. And guess what? he made it work! So we fired up the mower and I headed on out to mow some lawn in 2 hours I got 2/3rds of it done, just the very last bit will get done this week only an hour more and I will be done for this year.
back in the saddle loving this here
the scenery back here is wonderful
       I cut back to here and stopped at 3:30pm  While I did this Suzie went to visit her Dad in New Hamburg I was done just as she came back home.
our coach the tiny white spot in the middle 
here we are the lawn looks better now
now we enjoyed a happy hour together, smelling the fresh cut grass
and warm 60 F afternoon enjoying our e-readers too
I went to the house tap for some water for dishes
we are parked behind that big tree
      Soon time for supper, tonight a 1/4 of acorn squash each , small salad and smoked  pork chop. Quick, easy and tasty.

these do not take long on the Weber
quick easy and no clean up
tasty?yup
     Now for 7 pm down to the Plattsville Arena to watch Grandson #1 play hockey, his knee feels much better and he was on the ice. Nice to see him play again . The first and last time for this year for us.
while we waited I got to enjoy the smiles
 of our Grand daughter
ok time for hockey
 he is #55
these guys are fast and big 15-16years olds
a fast moving game but they are defeated 
     We waited until he was changed and gave him , his brother GS #4 and GD #3 all a hug(of course daughter and SIL) as well the last time we will see them before next spring.
and of course one more look before I post
     That was our fun busy day , really enjoyed all of it form the walkabouts  (5 miles total today) the sunshine, the lawn mowing and the great hockey game, now we can kick back and relax for what is left of the day.
     Thanks again for dropping on by.Hope you enjoyed a sunny one as well.

  2. Janet, this is Patsy on Bill's laptop. Thank you for your concern. We are fine but I lost internet connection on Friday night, somehow ??? and have been at the Toronto RV show since early Saturday. Arrived home last night and hope to get to the bottom of the issue today. Grrrr.
    George, nice to see you have kept busy, at least sunny days once in a while and you can cut the grass once more. We have things to catch up on, reading and blogging being one, and some last minute things this week. Keep on enjoying that sunshine while we can!
