    A quite night but no rain and still 63F this morning at 5 am, supposed to be cloudy all day with possible Thunderstorms this afternoon. Got a couple of nice walkabouts after I put some chicken bones from our freezer on to make a pot of chicken soup. And while it was simmering away I made a 1/2 dozen blueberry muffins from mix we have.

this was all done by 9 am

a nice easy mix we like

     I need a cable connector for our tv antenna , the cable broke off. It is a smaller cable than the standard RG 56 cable and connectors I need an RG 59 connector. So checked the hardware store in town , Canadian Tire, and Dollar store in Forest, Nope. Then the Source (Radio Shack)  in Forest. Hm they closed only open Mon to Friday 9 to 4, Guess I will try again on Monday.
      Back home for lunch , the soup is ready, so a nice tasty lunch . Perfect for an overcast day.

Tasty Chicken/ Barley soup (Patsie) yummy

            Then at 12 noon I headed into Arkona to check out the parade. Love small town parades! Doesn't everybody ? I parked on a side street and set my chair up at the curb. reading my e-reader until they started.
