Sunshine and Grilling on our Weber Q, almost a perfect day!

Where are we today ?
Plattsville Ontario
          Wow we had sunshine this morning and clear blue skies, now is that just not awesome??? I was up before the sunrise just waiting for it to happen and it sure did. Just makes ya wanna get out and enjoy it. About 8 am I took a drive around a few paved country roads here, nice and quiet.

love the old bridge, but not for our motorhome
the Nith river, from the bridge
love to watch the cattle grazing 
          Then eventually this morning I whipped up a mess of my Macaroni Salad (special request) that our hostess here Leah just loves. Tasty, easy and quick to do, I have been making it for years, a favourite in my restaurant and great for potlucks. For the recipe click HERE.

       Then because it was so nice we played outside, run the dogs, walkabout and pick up a few loads of branches and limbs that had fallen over the winter. Get the 5 acres ready for me to mow the lawn before we leave here in a week. Suzie got to brush the dogs again, something she loves. Check the bag of fur behind her.
Buddy loves being brushed
new belt and spring on the mower deck, ready to go.
          Then we did get a chance to enjoy our books outside for a bit some sunshine and a spot out of the wind NW 35 kmh (21mph). I would have been much nicer if it was warmer. Only got up to 10c (50f), but the sun was shining!
a new book for me
        Now because our coach blocked the wind today we can fire up our Weber Q, finally! And gonna grill a cornish hen and some baked potatoes. It feels like forever since we have been able to grill, and I guess a week is forever when I am used to grilling almost every day.
Welcome back Weber Q
           To the chicken a taters I added some of our pasta salad and Swiss Chalet dipping sauce for the chicken.  1/2 a hen each, they tiny and just enough.
Oh sooo good
       It is amazing how much nicer a day can be with sunshine, even if it is a bit chilly, makes you feel so good and energetic. 
       That was it for us today, hope you had a great one too. Thanks for stopping on by.
       Oh did I tell you we had sunshine today?

  1. Are you sure that was sunshine? It's been such a rare commodity lately, you might have been mistaken... :cD

  2. Those perfect days just don't come often enough. If we could just position our motorhome every time we stopped to block the wind, we'd be tickled pink. However, it would even be better if there wasn't any wind we had to block. Enjoy those perfect days while you can.

  3. That mower looks like it cuts a big swath. Nice to have a big mower for an acreage.
