             Up and raring to go at 5:30 this morning after a very good sleep. Start off with oatmeal orange juice and coffees, Then seeing as it will be very hot day I was outside at 7:00 am take the garbage out to the curb for 7 am and making use of the tree branch trimming tools I borrowed from neighbour Barry. So many trees, bushes branches etc. that grow here, some in the way of the motorhome and lots more in my way mowing the lawns here.
       Nice to have the long pole trimmer to get some of the higher branches from the ground. Then a walk around  this 5 acres trimming most of the branches that are in my way or attack me. By 9 am I hopped on the mower and finished the last bit of yard around the house and the RV. That all taken care of before 10 am and it was hot already 89F feeling like 104 and getting hotter. With this all done I was ready for my first swim of the day , maybe more if we don't get the predicted thunderstorms.

I use to have these trimmers when we had the house
but figured we would need them anymore
almost 14 years ago 

trimmed these trees in the lane
much better now

and then down around the property for a while as well

          Suzie had taken her Dad for another doctors appointment at 9 am and got back home by 11:30  so we enjoyed a nice light tasty lunch.  Then I went to New Hamburg to get more gas for the mower some groceries and stopped at  Steve Belk Jewellers and watch maker in New Hamburg to pick up my gold chain that he repaired for me. I have known Steve for probably 30 years always came into my restaurant for Fish and chips that they loved. He still wants me to open another restaurant , But that is not going to happen, been there done that and had a lot of fun. Burned myself out back then.

have been going here for years he treats us right

forecast is this but did not happen

not that hot at all

      While I was gone we had a very heavy downpour of rain and the temperature dropped, big time. 3 pm only 75F though they say it feels like 100F ?? No it does not, quite very comfortable here still.
     I got home to make the salad for maybe supper tonight if too hot. Chicken Balsamic Salad for that recipe you can click HERE or my recipe blog top right side bar.

we really do enjoy this salad on a hot day
 but not today it will be better tomorrow

the yard looks wonderful once again

    While in New Hamburg I picked up some chicken for a very good price. In case we wanted to grill some tonight.

     Back home Suzie and I enjoyed a very nice afternoon in the shade chatting and reading, then at 4 pm it was decided another swim in the pool, just because we can. Oh my this feels so good. 

8 drumbsticks 

8 chicken thighs

     I split these into 2 meals cooked one tonight and the rest in our freezer for another meal.

not long on our Weber Q about 45 minutes turning half way through

done to perfection 

added to our usual salad sure did the trick

     Supper was wonderful and we even had some leftovers for lunches or whatever.

     Now we can enjoy more of this nice warm summer weather outside. Finish this posting and right back into our our page turners again. We sure are enjoying this summer weather so quiet and peaceful here.  Hope you are enjoying this weather as well.

       Last night I took drive down the road a few hundred yards and managed to catch another interesting country sunset.

 a decent sunset once again

      Now listening to the birds, and mourning doves,  watching the squirrels, and bunnies Nothing quite like this quiet peaceful country living.
     Thanks for taking the time to drop on by.
