What's this long weekend with out rain? Very Rare, and did not disappoint us we got the rain.
Last night was nice and mild, with a few rain showers off and on. Great for sleeping, windows open a bit with our window awnings down makes for a very good night's sleep..
Up early, a couple walkabouts and got our pot of coffee drank, then headed out shortly after 9 am to the
Pinery Fleamarket in Grand Bend hoping to beat the rain. Got there just before the rain began,
but we did take our umbrellas.
Now here is few pics my youngest daughter Jessica posted on my Facebook page, if you have face book you can see many more.

Sure did the trick for us and as we were eating had another major downpour of rain. But by 7 pm the rain stopped, skies cleared sun came out and now a beautiful evening, best part of the day. We actually sitting outside now reading and composing this posting. No complaints here thats for sure.
Just after 8pm Gail walked by with Hailey stopped to chat for a bit and Suzie got another doggie fix. Bonus !

Hailey stopped by for a chin rub |
Another short walkabout and caught the sunset in the trees, about the best we can get where we are here.
It was another pretty good day, not too cold, some rain showers off and on the a nice warm sunny evening. Not to shabby at all.
Thanks for all the birthday wishes and hope you are having a great weekend as well.
Here it is after 9pm and still outside amazing !

Hey...Happy Birthday!! Those peppers looked really good and very fresh. Your supper looked good too. I guess it's just the rainy season lots of places as it has rained off and on today and yesterday, forecast for the next 3 days...no fun in the rain.
