Another wonderful hot day, then cloudy and hot again.

Where are we today ? 
 clic a pic to enlarge it
    The warmest night yet 75F at 10 pm when we went to bed, fantastic fan running and bedroom windows wide open, a nice breeze in the bedroom and we both had a wonderful sleep.
    At 5 am was 58F and going to be another gorgeous summer day. At 7 am I headed out for a nice walkabout down River road and around town for a bit 1.5 miles. Perfect weather and the village is so quiet seems like everyone has left town to get a head start on this Canada Long weekend. Think we stay right here in this peaceful place. I know when I had my restaurant in town the weekend here was a waste of time, so I closed down 11 am on Saturday mornings in the summer and we went camping too.
nice quiet walk down River Road into town
the temperature at 11.30 am under our awning
          Then a quick trip to New Hamburg for a few things and gas for the mower, Think I will do some more grass cutting today. In this hot weather nice to only do about an hour at a time out in the direct sun. We enjoyed a light tasty lunch as usual, my usual 2 oz of cooked chicken, 1/2 an apple and 1/2 a banana does the trick for me. Checked out outdoor temperature at 11:30 under our awning says 100F (37C), now this is what we love. Keeping busy but nothing strenuous and enjoying the heat.
    While I was mowing Suzie drove to Stratford to have 6 more of her genealogy books `printed at Staples. Then stopped to visit her Dad a load some books to his Kobo for him and of course a visit.
I alway enjoys mowing the yard here
then the skies clouded over, time to quit for the day anyway
         I stopped mowing at 1:30 got done what I wanted today, maybe another hour or so next time. The skies are clouding over and winds picking up , Suzie called me from Stratford was pouring rain then again from New Hamburg (10 minutes north of here) pouring rain, No rain here yet. I am relaxing under the awning enjoying my Kobo. Well the rain did not happen here just a few sprinkles of a minute or 2 that was it and the winds have died back down again. Though the temperature dropped all the way down to 76F ! Wow that was a quick drop, no need for the pool today maybe.
enjoying the peace an quiet here reading
      Suzie was home by 3 pm and putting together some tabs for the books she is having printed. Heck it has warmed up again and the sun came back out. By 4 pm was 85 F again so I decided  I needed a dip in the pool just because I can and it is here.
Suzie doing what she loves putting the tabs for
 the pages in these books. You know it is hot
when she is outside dressed like this
      Soon time to whip up supper, so I made our salad, grilled a couple of very nice bone in pork chops I picked up on sale today, 6 chops for $9.00 a good deal we will get 3 very good meals from this.
not long on our Weber Q , 2 minutes one side
 then, flipped over for 1 minute
very tender and juicy
this was an excellent tasty meal
        After supper back outside , enjoying more warm weather finish this posting and get right back into my KOBO again.
       Last night I headed down the road a few hundred yards and caught another wonderful sunset.
      Kind of a laid back day nothing too exciting just enjoying the scenery. bird sounds and the weather, putter around for a while and a tasty supper.
     Want to thank y; all for taking the time to drop on by and really hope you enjoyed your day as well.

    1. Glad that your gardens got some water, we don't need that here. At least your veggies will grow,
      One day at time and things will slowly get better.

    1. We have been getting some wonderful sunsets lately. The heat just feels so good to my body, I guess 10 years in the Kitchen of my restaurant, and most days over 100F I kinda got used to it. I have found I can always cool my body down easily. But when I cold takes forever to warm up again.

  7. George, you're grilling always looks so good. How long do you preheat the weber as I think that is you're trick.
    Thanks,
    Bob

    1. Bob, with the Weber preheat at least 15 minutes on high, the cast iron grill does the cooking and keep the lid closed as much as possible, With only 9,000 btus it does more even cooking and less flair ups.

  8. I love where you are staying at. Beautiful green lawn and a quiet, safe and enchanting place. What is Canada celebrating this weekend?

    Your dinner looks delicious...wish I knew how to cook :(

    1. We love it here too a perfect place to enjoy.
      July 1 commemorates the joining of Canada's original three provinces (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the Canada province, which is now Ontario and Quebec) as one nation in 1867.
      Thanks it was very tasty ,I taught myself to cook, and just find it second nature and so easy. But you have to enjoy it.

    1. It was a wonderful day and we are enjoying this weather. Oh my, no grilled meat, we don't use charcoal and our Weber Q 1000 really does not flare up the reason we love this grill so much.
