Not a great start for the Canada Day long weekend but promises to get better. Yard sale was a flop.

Where are we today ?

        Today is Canada's Birthday, 149 years young! Happy Birthday Canada, that's why we call it Canada Day. The weather started out wonderful then went downhill from there.
         This is the day that we have park wide yard sales, campground full should be good right? But the weather played a trick on us. Overcast, cool and drizzly, so not too many people wandering about. But we set up our stuff and had a couple people stop by. At least we met more people, new neighbors too, and had a fun day, Actually made a 2 dollar sale. Not a big deal we were not going anywhere today anyway.
Stuff that needs to go away
      All decorated for Canada Day, but the weather let us down. Not the first time by a long shot and will surely will not be the last time.
we ready for the yard sale crowds,
but did not happen
           Later on was still cool and damp so fired up our propane fire pit, nice ambiance took the  dampness away. Between the dizzles. Few neighbors stopped by to chat, between our reading made for a pleasant afternoon.
the propane fire pit does a nice job
       Because of the weather forecast I decided to make a cauliflower pizza inside tonight. I had picked up a nice cauliflower the other day for $1.97, perfect for a rainy day pizza.
     We had rain on and off all day long, so much for the yard sales.

         Then between the rain drops I prepped the pizza. It does take a while, but we have the time.

all done and ready to eat 
thas is one tasty pizza we love
        After supper a short walkabout, and outside for a while. But getting damp and chilly, below 50f by 70 pm so time to head on inside, a bit warmer there.
      All in all not too bad of a day. We cannot control the weather but always make the best of what what we are dealt with.
       This is only the beginning of a great long weekend the rest of it is looking pretty good.
       Thanks for taking the time to stop by and hope your weekend is wonderful too.

  1. My father used to say that the only thing you can control about the weather is your attitude towards it. Looks like you're pretty good at that part of it!

  2. Sorry about the weather but it sounds as if it didn't worry you too much. I haven't been around much lately so just wanted to let you know I'm still here. Just not very vocal st the moment. Mums eyes are a bit crook again. We are reading just not commenting much. Mum likes the sound of your cauliflower pizza. She's going to give it a try. I'm not into cauli much but I guess it'd taste ok. Not as good as bunny, though.

    1. That's the beauty of a pizza, you can dress it anyway you like, I like hot peppers on my half as well but forgot to get some.

  5. Enjoy your celebration. That usually means lots of folks out doing exactly the same thing and that's what we expect where we are. Good weather, bad weather I know you'll always make the best of it.

  6. It's wet and dreary on the left coast as well. I feel sorry for all the people camping out there in the rain. But we will still have a happy long weekend. The pizza looks awesome!

    1. You seem to get a lot of that weather on the left coast, but moderate temperatures.
      Tasty and yummy as usual.

  7. Too bad you got rained out/ on Canada Day. Over here it was a straight opposite. Weather was amazing all day long until around 5pm when clouds moved from the west (your weather?)and it got much colder.
