We went to bed last night before the sunset and before 9pm. Know we had to be out of here before 5:30 this morning. I was up at 4 am (no alarm needed for me) Made a pot of coffee and made sure Suzie was up before 5. A very foggy morning. |
| yup it was foggy |
I came back home puttered around did a nice walkabout town for a couple of miles, then back home to head on out for a nice country drive, just because I could. On my drive I headed east to Washington, south through Drumbo and Princeton then through Scotland to Burford. Passing some tobacco fields and ginseng crops along the way a nice peaceful country drive.
Also stopped at Sobeys to pick up a couple of prime ribs steaks, good deal at $6.77 a lb.

Now all refreshed we can relax in the shade and enjoy our e-readers for a while. I started a new John Sandford , Holy Ghost, the last I have right now in the Virgel Flowers series. I always enjoy his action packed adventures.

A rare occasion. And we are in the perfect spot, pool a hundred yards away and a very comfortable 79F , Ok I can go back in again , yahoo we in the pool together, nice when it is not crowded. Just the 2 of us.

Where have we been this Summer ?
For a minute there you had me thinking that you were moving to another location since you got up so early and started putting things away. Then got confused when you went for a swim instead.
ReplyDeleteGlad you both got to enjoy the pool with the hot temperatures you are experiencing. I loved that big tree with the white flowers and the tobacco fields.
You killed me with your dinner. I have been wanting a steak for so long :-(
I wish we were moving but not yet another couple of weeks yet one appointment for me tp go. The heater takes up a lot of floor space and don't need it in the summer. The pool is perfect in the hot weather.
DeleteThe steak was excellent thanks sure glad I love cooking.
I also thought they were on the move again. It was a wonderfully lazy summer day weather perfect
ReplyDeleteNot moving yet, and yes the weather was perfect.
DeleteThat pool looks so good. We have one here but there is always someone in there. Your set up is perfect just the 2 of you.
ReplyDeleteSteaks look so good sitting on the grill.
It is very nice here we do enjoy it, lots of quiet space for the 2 of us.
DeleteThe steaks were excellent thanks.
Nice drive down to Scotland/Burford area, we've done that area many a time when Cathie's Mom was in Waterford. The countryside is gorgeous this time of year with the fields greening up and crops growing.
ReplyDeleteThat is some beautiful countryside a nice area yo go for a drive, The crops are growing pretty good now.
DeleteI can't believe Suzie's Dad has checkup appointments at 6:30. They shouldn't do that to elderly people! I also thought you were moving.
ReplyDeleteThe pool looks wonderful, nice to see Suzie in it. Don't think I've ever seen that before! :)
nice weather for sure, we have to enjoy every minute we can.
Steak looks good but wow that is a lot of food on your plate! Two meals for me.
They did some tests as well at the hospital, not a big deal we are always up early anyway, Not moving yet still have a few more things to take care of here. The pool is excellent we really enjoy it. When it gets real hot she will go in to cool down.
DeleteIt looks like a lot of food but not really, The steak was wonderful not really that much meat a very large bone, small potato and plus the salad I did not finish.
Tobacco field? That's something I've never seen growing. So wonderful that you have a pool to cool off in. I'm considering a horse water trough for my patio. Hey, anything to stay cool!!!
ReplyDeleteThis area of southern Ontario was mostly tobacco , less and less every year, being replaced with ginseng. Hey the horse trough would sure do the trick.
DeleteBeautiful drive you had so early in the morning. It's early but at least Suzie's dad got it out of the way. It must have been hot for Suzie to get in the pool but good for her. Nice to have it all to yourselves! Dinner looks wonderful, great price on those steaks!
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to get that out of the way. It was hot and getting even hotter, The pool is a real bonus here that's for sure
DeleteThe price for the steaks was excellent could not turn them down .
WOW, 5:30am that's way to early for me.
ReplyDeleteI am usually up long before that so no big deal for me.
DeleteWonderful swim in the pool and great dinner. Perfect end to the day. Sending positive thoughts that all test results will be good.
ReplyDeleteThanks Contessa, it was a great day enjoying the pool as well with a tasty dinner. The test results came back very good thanks.
DeleteWith temps like that I bet it was nice getting in the pool,,,especially since it was just the two of you. That's the way to go swimming. Your steak dinner looked really good.
ReplyDeleteWe do enjoy the quiet outdoor pool here and only a few steps from our campsite.
DeleteThe steak was excellent thanks.
My eyes water just looking at the picture of your hot sauce. :cD
ReplyDeleteLOL this steak sauce is very tasty and pretty mild compared to my hot sauces.
