Overnight Saturday it rained and it poured, sunday morning it rained and it poured, sunday afternoon and evening it rained and it poured. No sunshine but a few times it let up to a nice drizzle so I won't get too wet when I went out. Oh yeah it was kinda cool too, about 9c (50f) most of the day.
a rainy day
But all is not lost we have alternatives for these rare days. Looks like a good day to read and maybe watch a movie or two on TV. But first, a cable on my recliner broke last night, so I have a project. Unbolt this heavy chair from the floor and check it out. Checking to see if a spare cable I had would do the job (nope too short). So with a pair of vise grips I got the recliner to temporarily work (a man can't be without his recliner, where would he sleep?) put it back together and began searching the internet for a replacement part. I found some leads and sources, but will wait for monday to check them out.
By this time it's mid afternoon already and I had planned on baking another batch of mini pecan tarts. So I got to work, making the tasty pastry and filling.

While the tarts were baking I a made up a nice sage dressing and rolled that into some pork ribs tied with string on a bead of sauerkraut then into the hot oven when the tarts came out. May as well use the oven while it's hot, save propane and keep our house warm at the same time on this weathery day. With this I added a few boiled new potatoes and broccoli.
a tasty treat
After supper Trish, Jordan and their mini dog Maggie dropped by for a bit of a visit, inside of course, its still cold and drizzly. Suzie got to play with Maggie and Trish gave us a demonstration of her new I-Padan amazing piece of computer technology, a nice add on to any computer system for those who have the need.

Well sitting inside chatting for a bit as the sun was setting we noticed a beautiful red sky, our reward for enduring a rain day.
awesome sunset
Well you know what? We were planning on reading and watching a movie today because of the weather, its been such a long time since we watched an sunday afternoon movie, but we ran out of time. With this retirement life it seems we don't have enough hours in the day. Maybe we can try again another rainy day, if we have time (maybe tomorrow).

On the bright side, you didn't have to water the grass! Sounds like a lovely Sunday.

ReplyDeleteIt was a great day, but it does need to stop raining long enough for them to cut the grass.
