       We had a fun evening at Darts last night, I was appointed captain , and our team of 3 players played quite well. So well in fact that we ended up in the playoffs and we came in FIRST PLACE . So each of  us of won 3 dollars. Think that is the first time in all the years that this has happened for me at least , usually Suzie is on the winning team, not last night though. We did get home just before 9:30 so that was reasonable time.
the outdoor laundry across from us
love the sign
most of our group for darts last night
18 of us
Suzie playing well
            Soon afterward to bed and had another great sleep. Up at 5:30 this morning and ready for another day, supposed to be a hot one, not a problem, we do have 2 pools here if we like, a nice shady spot and enough electricity to run our AC if required . While it was still cool at 7 am I got a nice walkabout the campground, about a mile. Then headed into Forest to check out the small friday Farmers market, nothing there we needed , picked up  few groceries, and a couple more stops around town.
a nice small Farmer's Market
lots of local produce
       Spotted this group of young children for a walk all holding onto a rope, too cute.
        The road from Forest to Arkona dotted every where with these wind Turbines. So many here in this county.
even which way you look, Turbines
      Home for a light lunch by 10:30 and already 83F outside with no wind , we enjoyed a nice quiet afternoon in the shade still 83F feels like 91. Such  a wonderful day and felt like a refreshing shower right across from us, nice large clean showers with lots of hot water. I really do enjoy them here in this hot summer weather.
      As we enjoyed this  very warm day Suzie suggested we go for an Ice cream, I am game only ,a 100 yards down to the office and we got our treat.
Suzie leading the way in a hurry
ice cream calling her 
these hit the spot on a hot sunny day
and is nice right here in the campground .
         Back home to enjoy our treats, we moved to the shade behind our coach  under the trees with a nice cool breeze.
more shade and breeze here
     Happy hour today was a nice quiet one and at 3:30 I prepped our chicken to grill on the  Weber Q .  Just over an hour low and slow it was done to perfection.
ready for the Q
we enjoying the shade back there, while the chicken cooks
and for a treat  made some of this tasty sauce we really love
siue goes with this chicken 
here it is done right on time, crispy on the outside
tender and juicy inside  works for us
    So cut up the chicken added to our salad and enjoyed a very tasty chicken dinner, and of course lotsa leftovers for many lunches. No more pics tonight .Dishes done an time to relax enjoying more if this wonderful very warm summer weather.
    We enjoyed this relaxing day and hope your enjoyed your summer days as well. Thanks for stopping on by.

       Into the mid 50's overnight perfect for sleeping. I got a very nice quiet walkabout town so peaceful just hearing the birds, no traffic and no people, first 2 miles to get me started for the day.
        Back home to putter around bit more another coffee consumed then Suzie and I headed into Woodstock (the Dairy Capital of Canada) a nice scenic country drive about 25 minutes not much traffic at all . To the Woodstock Famers market.
Woodstock claims to be the Dairy Capital of Canada
        We arrived at the Farmer's market in Woodstock and is quite nice, not large but local vendors selling their produce in season, fresh egs, meat counters, cheese, seafood, baked goods lots of variety and good food. We do enjoy these smaller market is the areas
fresh local berries we love
not too busy as usual the way we like it
got some excellent strawberries here
this is a quiet area to relax with tables and chairs
       A few meat vendors here that are very busy. Excellent looking fresh meats.
love these smoked pork chops, huge,
 good prices but just bought one to share
seafood
excellent cheese too 
Even a couple of buskers playing some good tunes
      We checked to see if our good friends Mike and Trish were home for a visit . But they were out and about maybe another time. So we were back home by 11 am for a light lunch.
nothing quite like fresh local Ontario Strawberries,
so very sweet and juicy
a huge smoked pork chop and
 some Turkey Garlic sausage to try
      Lunch all done so I hopped on the mower to finish mowing the last few acres here I do enjoy this time to ride around enjoying the fresh air and country setting. only  1 hour 45 minutes this time I put it on full throtttle and got it done. Always looks and smells so nice when it is freshly mowed.
         I was done mowing the lawn by 1:15 and was really ready for a nice refreshing dip in the pool, grabbed Suzie and away we went. Oh my, that feels so much better now. Temps with humidity feels like 97 F.
yup this was perfect 
      Now we can enjoy our e-readers in the shade. Then as predicted we had rain at 2 :15 and it came down real heavy for about 15 minutes, then stopped and the sun came back out. Still very warm but nice to sit under our awning listening to and watching the warm summer rain.
love the views here of the fresh mowed lawn
the  rain began
and more it rained
not long our pails are full of rain water
   While I  was mowing the back few acres here  on the  edge a bush attached me did some  damage to my thin skin that I have, I have had worse and will survive, but this is just another thing  about getting older.
oppssy
      After a cooling swim in the pool was soon time for Happy Hour. A nice snack today celery with peanut butter on one and cheese whiz on another.
a nice light snack
       Soon was time to whip us supper, Tonight we going to grill a couple of the Turkey Garlic Sausage we bought today to go with our usual  tasty salads.
very tasty Turkey Garlic sausage
added to our salad sure did the trick tonight
      Now that was done we sure did enjoy a very nice summer evening again a after a tasty supper.
      Want to thank you again for stopping on by and hope you enjoyed this womdeul summer weather as well.
last night sunset was another good one
     Maybe later I will see if I can get another sunset tonight .
