        Even cooler again last night 50F at 5:30 this morning. Had my oatmeal coffees and computing, no walkabout today my lower back is bothering me. Need to see my Chiropractor soon put everything back in place, it has been a while.
        So puttered around getting ready to hit the road this morning, satellite dish stored, coach secured, car hooked up and on the road about 9:20. no rush only about a 90 minute drive today.
        Checking our google maps find there is some construction and detours. This is summer in Ontario road work, detours, and we enjoy these detours , mostly roads we don't normally travel so some new interesting scenery along these back roads. New towns and some nice rolling hills.
our scenic route today
leaving Rock Glen resort
all good roads and new scenery
      We pulled into John's ( Camp awesome) and worked on setting up, enjoyed a light tasty lunch . Suzie got a text from SIL Sandy , they were at Shakers restaurant in town with her Dad for lunch so she went and joined them for a coffee, I chatted with John for a bit, He was sharpening the blades on the mower, knowing I was ready to mow some more lawn here. Thanks John.
       I set up our satellite dish, and Weber Q, secured our awning and hopped on the mower to check out the sharp blades , wonderful, sure does a  nicer job now. So I carried on a bit and mowed the centre section of this yard about 1/3 of the 5 acres. I like doing this part because I can do it in a circle from the centre out just keep going round and round getting dizzy then larger until all done. looks kind cool when it is done.
       A comfortable 79F with a cool breeze and sunny skies and wonderful day as summer is winding down.
mowing around the edges
then the circle getting karger each pass 
        About 2pm Suzie was home so I parked the mower in the shed and joined her to relax in the shade, Read for a while then a quiet happy hour today, just the 2 of us no doggies here.
here we are set up at Camp Awesome
 so much space and quiet here
love the view we have here from our Patio
    Soon time to whip up supper, tonight doing a whole chicken on our Weber Q that we enjoy. And felt like our Swiss chalet dipping  sauce, perfect for the chicken done like this. The chicken was on sale the other day 6  bucks for a 3 lb bird, pretty well 1/2 price we can do this at home.
we do enjoy this sauce, only in Canada so
 will stock up before we head south
about 80 minutes and done to perfection
tender, juicy and crispy on the outside
low and slow on our Weber Q
added to our salad sure did the trick
and lotsa leftovers
soon some soup
       Now we can relax out side in the shade finish this posting and more reading time until it gets too chilly then inside for the evening. I took our blue flame heater out of storage and hooked it back up again.. So that if it gets too chilly inside we can enjoy a bit of heat without the noise of our furnace watching tv later on. The nights here are getting chilly again, fall is on the way.
        Thanks for coming of by and hope y'all had a wonderful day as well.

       Wow did it ever cool right down. 57 F overnight and no rain or wind. Even the humidity has dropped making it feel almost cold, at least compared to what we have been having. Got a nice walkabout town at 6:30 am for a mile or so then back home for more coffee and a quick trip to the No Frills in New Hamburg for a few groceries.
love the sunrises here
        Back home we enjoyed a nice light lunch then I set to work around the yard to trim a few trees and branches. Used John's cordless sawzall and his pickup truck to remove the brush. Nice to clean this up a bit with much cooler weather today, no humidity, and temps into the mid 70's F
I did get 3 truck loads of brush cleaned up
        While doing this I noticed a few of these rare maple trees around the property below. So pretty they are.
this are so cool , love them
     They are a Drummondi Maple tree  or Harlequin Norway Maple that we first saw in Buckhorn Ontario in 2015, what a beautiful tree it is.
love the coloring of these leaves
      That taken care of for a couple of hours now to relaxing in the shade with my honey, right back into our e-readers. A very comfortable day it was. after the heatwave, but  heck almost feels cold outside! Yeah I know i said that before.
nice to relax here in the shade and not sweat
         Where does the day go when we get onto really good books? Soon time for supper, so I preheat our Weber Q whipped up a salad and grilled a couple of salmon fillets.
we do enjoy salmon almost as much as chicken
this sure did the trick tonight
      Supper done and dishes done now to head on back outside enjoying this much cooler weather, actually need a sweater at 73 F in the sha, NO problem we have those.
     Thanks for dropping in and hope y'all had a wonderful summer day too.
