Much cooler last night about 37F at 5am. With a mostly overcast day and possible rain showers.
On my first walkabout at 7:30 getting some fresh air and exercise it was a cool breeze and of course I spotted
Patsy on her walk as well, And our supper plan came to my head, I think better on these walkabouts. The lightbulb came on💡A supper plan.

I even spotted some Blue herons as well,
flying and landing hard to see in the pictures |
Thinking ahead about supper, thought it would be a good day to cook our Corned beef and Cabbage dinner (a late St. Patrick's day meal) inside in our ancient Crock Pot. Just because we can. So I got it ready at 8am loaded the cooker with Onions, carrots, celery, potatoes and the corned beef on top, water, cider vinegar and the spice packet, on high for most of the day, at 1 pm I added the cabbage and just let it go for the rest of the day, about 2 pm turn to low, is pretty well done. Smells pretty yummy in our house today ! The slow cooker is a great way to cook this and so easy. I have done it on our Weber in the past and was excellent for that recipe you can click
HERE . Also have done in our pressure cooker, that works very well too. Or you can boil it on a stove top.

only 2 lbs but a good price
just enough for us |

my Antique crock pot
still does the trick |
After lunch a nice walkabout but still a cool breeze though and only 64F. I got chatting with the friendly lady that works in the office Margie (hope I spelled right).She has been reading our blog and even showed the owner Robert, she asked about some tips and ideas she is starting a blog for this park. Gave her a few ideas and we chatted, what a super lady she is. They have been camping here for years and like us love this park and the area.

Then another short walkabout here, love the washrooms that they have refurbished a few years ago.
What a very nice upgrade.

Then over to the laundry and exercise room not large but very reasonable and clean, plus the couches and exercise machines, and TV right here as well .

We actually got to spend a couple of hours outside reading, out of the winds and a bit sunshine here and there, finally about 4 pm a couple of rain sprinkles so headed inside, But heck we did get to enjoy some fresh air and sunshine for a a few hours.

they did more rock work on the one waterfall yesterday, looks amazing
this will be a very nice area when all done |
 |
A bit more sunshine for a few minutes,
the pool looks inviting, but way too cold |
Soon time for supper, we have been smelling this amazing corned beef and cabbage cooking all day. finally we broke down and dived in ! Oh my, so tasty and we even ended up with leftovers, after our feast.
 |
oh yeah Corned Beef, cabbage, carrots and onions
what a tasty meal |
The rain finally began shortly after 5 pm a bit heavy off and on but we were prepped for it, Supper was tasty and done, no sunset to view tonight but did see some interesting lightning strikes, too fast for pics.
No complaints here not a perfect day but sill much better than back home, we will take all of this weather we can get. Not too cold, no snow and no tornadoes .
