A wonderful warm start today with sunshine for most of it. Nice early walkabout town , stopped at Pettigrew's Garage to check with Dale about scheduling a repair for the car and later this summer for the coach. Looks like Monday morning will work for him for the car.
Back home about 8:30 and Suzie had already left for New Hamburg to help her Dad with his excel spreadsheet for setting up the Mennonite Relief Sale in New Hamburg this weekend. For the link you can click
HERE. From there she took my hearing aide in for a repair AGAIN. Picked up our mail at her brothers and home by noon.
While she was gone I hopped on the mower to mow some more lawn, The repair John did last night seems to be holding so. So from 9 until 11;30 I mowed some of rear part of the 5 acres here. It was pretty long as you can see in the pic below. Kinda slow going. But I stopped for lunch with Suzie and headed back out to give it a second cutting.

That was done in the warm sunshine wearing shorts and a t-shirt, all done by 2 pm Gave our hot water tank burners a blow out with my air compressor, I do that every year. Next was to prep our pork ribs for the Weber Q. Wrapped in foil with spices and sauerkraut for a couple hours on low. makes them so tasty and tender. For the rib recipe click
HERE or my recipe blog top right sidebar. I picked these up yesterday at the No Frills. on sale, almost last day for sale 30% off they cost $6.20 total and we will get 3 meals out for this, can't turn down a deal on pork ribs, we love them.
While ribs were cooking we enjoyed a lovely afternoon reading outside for a couple of hours.

After supper was drizzling a bit off and on so inside for the night is ok. Tomorrow we will secure the coach and head to the New Hamburg Fairgrounds for the weekend, Help Suzie's Dad if need be and watch the activity as the set up for the big sale, Some auctions friday night, and lots going on early Saturday , most things are wrapped up by noon or shortly after, sometimes sooner if the vendors sell out. Everything start between 7 and 8 am. Lets hope for no rain.
Not a bad day at all mostly a wonderful warm sunny day. Thanks for stopping by and just hope your day was wonderful well.
Where have we been this summer ?
We had your ribs last night. It was delish!!
ReplyDeleteThanks glad you enjoyed them.
DeleteThat was quite a bit of mowing there. i bet it was nice to sit there and enjoy that great view afterwards followed by a very good looking meal.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to site back and enjoy the view with the peace and quiet.
DeleteHave a great weekend, I clicked on the link it sounds like a wonderful event for a very worthwhile cause.
ReplyDeleteWe are going to have to try your rib recipe. Tom loves ribs and they always look delicious.
The relief sale does raise a lot of money and we enjoy going to check things out as well.
DeleteEnjoy the ribs, we love them.
Nice day to get the lawns and fields cut. I wasn't up to finishing our little patch near the Suite but will on Friday. Have a fun weekend at the relief sale.
ReplyDeleteHope you feeling better and get grass trimmed before time to cut again. We will have fun at the sale as usual.
DeleteThat's a lot to mow, too bad you can't harvest it :) Is there much time to rest before it's time to mow again?
ReplyDeleteRibs look delish!
It would be nice to harvest it, it used to be crazing for cattle years ago. With this rain not a lot of time between cuttings, but leaving here today and hopefully they can get some done before we return.
DeleteThe ribs awesome as usual.
The lawn is so beautiful and green sure looks awesome after cutting! Can't believe it's time for the Mennonite Sale again, seems like you were writing about it just a few months ago..how time flies! Yes, your ribs do looks great, but most everything you cook looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys. It sure does look wonderful when freshly mowed. Yes it's been a whole year since the last sale and look forward to it every year, time flies by.
