    After I posted yesterday's blog hoping for a sunset but then just about 8:30 the skies got really dark, a storm front coming in, severe winds picked up a few branches came down. Ok we quickly rolled up our awning, then the rains came down, big time. We got inside just in time.
brutal looking skies but we survived
     The coach had cooled down nicely so can shut our air conditioners off, and the generator and plug back into power. So a very nice comfortable sleep and the sunshine shining in the bedroom window at 6 am was a nice way to wake up.
nice to see the morning sun shining on my face
     Got my coffees and computing taken care of and at 7:30 wanting go for a walkabout but the rain began again. Oh well maybe later. At least the temperature is much more comfortable now less humidity and temps mostly in the high 70's the majority of the day. Just a quick trip to the store , and a tasty light lunch and then putter around outside here for the afternoon, check tire pressure and oil as we heading out in the morning. And a few short walkabouts. Sure is about time! We have been here in one spot for 5 weeks way longer than we like to stay in one place. Though we do love it here. We are both ready to relocate, that hitch itch is something in our blood. A change in scenery is always welcome.
the sunrise out our dinning room window was wonderful
nice country drive into New Hamburg 
       Both Suzie and I have both been like this pretty well all our lives. I have owned 11 houses moved 21 times before we went fulltime, camped on the east coast 7 times, out west to Vancouver island through Canada, and back through the northern states travelled all over Ontario camping since I was 18 years old. Lived in Toronto as a child and spent most of our summers and weekends on Georgian Bay, always moving around. I know Suzie has lived on the Farm, Kitchener, Toronto and has travelled many places, Europe and the US when she was a travel agent. Yup it is in our blood.
     Then this afternoon we enjoyed a quiet happy hour, enjoying the peace and quiet. watching the birds, chipmunks and squirrels, listening the mourning doves so wonderful here. Going to miss this peacefulness. But we do have to move. It is in our blood.
time for new scenery
            Supper tonight going to grill a couple of Hayter's Onion and Parsley Turkey burgers that we love, and some of our leftover salads. to finish them off
had a package of bacon to cook, no longer a pound here
300 Grams .6 pounds  same price though
nice to pre cook it though
turkey burgers done, cheese and bacon on mine
and English muffins warmed in the foil
this did the trick tonight and all the leftovers taken care of
    Supper done, dishes done can store our Weber Q and secure our awning for travel in the morning. We really need yo go!!
   We have enjoyed this much cooler day no need for a swim in the pool today we were very comfortable outside here all day long.
    Want to thank you for stopping by and hope you enjoyed this much cooler weather as well.
    Maybe catch a sunset later and and if I do your will see it tomorrow.

     Much cooler and less humidity is making things very comfortable now after the hot humid days we have had for the last few weeks. After my early morning coffee got a few nice walkabouts, very refreshing when it is not humid.
    On part of my walkabout spotted this dad and couple of kids fishing in the pond, looks like they are sure having fun time,
Catch and release and they are doing quite well 
the geese keeping an eye out too
            Then about 8 am I put a large pot of chicken bones ( 2 chickens we have cooked) on to boil and make a tasty broth for some homemade chicken soup.
just simmer away to make a tasty broth
very tasty light lunch
     Then we had to deal with a wonderful warm (not hot) sunny afternoon, temps in the mid 70's F with not much humidity was. quite comfortable (almost cold in the shade) compared to what we have been having.
     I forgot mention that the other day I was due for a haircut, so my clippers out to take care of my beard and hair and as usual Suzie did the final trim. Why pay the money when this is so easy to do right here ?
what a nice comfy day
         Going to cook the last of our fresh corn, To do it on our Weber Q I cut the tassles off the top and soak in cold water for 20 minutes of longer.
cut the tassles off
soaking in the sink
      Thenat 3 pm Tucker dragged Gerry over to visit us for Happy hour. He is so excited to see Suzie again. Just can't settle down. ( Tucker that is)
he needs a pet from Suzie
now just rolling around being happy
       A bit later I headed inside for a refill and he knows the drill. I will bring out a few treats for him that only Suzie can give him. He jumps on his chair and waits. patiently, almost.
he gives her a HI 5 and waits
he listens very well
      A bit later we had Melinda drop by for a few minutes and Paul stop in for a chat as well.
Tucker chasing our tennis ball and bringing it back
     Soon time to fire up our Weber Q 100. Tonight reheat the rolled ribs we did a while ago and froze the extras These are warmed in our microwave, and set on our grill mat to finish warming and give a bit of a crust to. A small can of sauerkraut heated up and two cobs of corn heated for about 20 minutes just to heat through
love these small cans of kraut, perfect serving size
a bit windy today so our windscreen was set up
      I preheat our rolled ribs in the microwave for a bit then on the grill mat to finish off along with the kraut in a can and the corn on the cob,
all nicely done and we had a feast , of course more leftovers
for a nice lunch snack
this sure did the trick and again too much food
this was last night's sunset that we enjoyed,
long after I posted the blog
the bets we can do here
   After a very much cooler day that we enjoyed. Read a bit more outside tonight, no flies bugging us today, much nicer.
     Thanks once again for joining us and hope you enjoyed your day as well.
