A relaxing Monday mostly inside stuff with the rain and cooler weather, but an awesome supper makes up for it.

Where are we today ?

      Monday morning already? Where did the weekend go? Up early again still cold and  raining once again. Hmm no walkabout this morning. No matter I got .9 miles in todays, better than none. Got our coffees and computing done and went for a wet drive into Strathroy to the Super store just after 8 am, for  our Non alcoholic beer that we like and fuel up the car . Here at the Real Canadian Superstore gas is only $1.11.9 per litres compared to most other places about $1.29.9  a worthwhile savings for 35 litres. Also picked up a deal for 2 cooked lobsters only $8.16. a deal I could not turn down. A good reason I like to go shopping early especially on a Monday morning. Now I know what we are having for supper tonight , perfect for a cold rainy day !
my very short walkabout in the rain
         Back home for a light lunch then puttered around for a while got some reading and computing done and a relaxing warm after noon mostly inside. Then even enjoyed an hour or so outside in the afternoon when the sun almost shone for a bit.
the sun tried to come out
did get to 55F (12C)
we sat beside the cabin for a bit out of the wind
our view from there
the buds are really coming on the trees,
soon lotsa leaves
       Just after 3 pm Emile and Monique wandered over for Happy Hour, so we invited them inside then along came Tall Paul to join us. Hmm a song by Annette Funicello from 1959. Do you remember that song?
a nice Happy Hour inside Toasty warm
          Here is the deal I picked up this morning, one I could not turn down. This planned our supper a real treat we have not had for a very long time, Sure can't beat the price around here or many other place for that matter.
        Quickly steamed the lobster for 5 minutes to heat through, added to some brown rice and the last of our asparagus, of course shared some wine and gotta have melted butter for lobster.
this was a wonderful surprise treat we both enjoyed,
very tasty, not quite as good as fresh
but we will take it for the price
         Still cool and overcast and no visible sunset once again. But we have no complaints at all. Soon the sun will shine and temperatures will soar, we are sure ready for that. To get outside and have even more fun.
        Thanks again for dropping by and hope you enjoyed you spring day as well.

    1. I could not resist about , he came into our coach and you really notice how tall he is. I tied it on the blog then thought of the song. If I see lobster for a good price we will enjoy it. A really nice treat. A lobster fest would be fun too.

  4. I can not believe that with your cold temperatures the trees are already budding. Your dinner looks absolutely divine! Like JO...I can't recall the last time I enjoyed lobster.

    I am catching up on my blog reading since my internet has been spotty. I had no idea from your post yesterday that you all grew so much produce at this time of the year in Canada. I also enjoyed your trip to the flea market.

      Glad you caught up. With the cold wether here anything grown here in Canada at thins time of year and all winter, is usually grown in Green houses, but a lots of the produce us imported as well.. We do love this Flea Market.
