       Another great nights sleep so peaceful and dark here in the country thats why we love it here. One nice thing we enjoy wake up in the morning have to look out the window to figure out where we are. At 5 am was a comfortable 68 F and then suddenly the rain came down very heavy for quite a while. Hmm our plan was to go to the Keady Farmer's Market/ Livestock Market only about 15 minutes away, only on Tuesday's here in the summer. Uncle Clare was coming to the market with and came out to see us at 8:30, the rain had let up. Supposed to rain later though. So off we go, got to the market by 9 am parked close and no rain. That's a good thing though a few puddles around.
    We wandered around checked a few things here and there lots of fresh produce, meats, toys, baked goods you name it a good selection. And we supported this market quite nicely.

this be the place not real busy due to the rainy day

so much tasty looking fresh produce

     Now was 10 am the the rain was starting to sprinkle, we got what we came for so going to head back home again.

time to go before we get wet

        Back home puttered around for a while Cathy had invited us in to join them for lunch too, So more tasty food and conversation.

here we are parked to the right of their house

these be their place, Clare travels all over for Crokinole
tournaments, they were in New York Last weekend. his passion

         After lunch I took a nice country drive around a few concessions just because i could and check out mire of this lovely countryside. West of here a few roads to Mount Hope and the old church there built in 1872. Not much here a house across the road and a large dairy operation across the street.

nice looking old church 

huge dairy operation here

      I cruised a few more roads around enjoying the quiet country drive and noticed these cattle below all in line heading out the field to what looks like a feeding spot.

looks so cool

      Down another road over this old bridge across a small creek , had been here for a long time.

This is where Clare and Cathy live a Pioneer community

      Back here to relax a bit outside enjoying a wonderful warm sunny afternoon with our e-readers. 84F with a light breeze was excellent. And I noticed Clare's cattle we closer the the barn here by the house. these are Blonde d'Aquitaine. Originally from France. you can read about them HERE . A french breed of lean beef cattle.

Clare's Blondes

you know it is a great day when Suzie is in Shorts
it was supposed to rainfall day
but only first thing this morning

        We headed inside to enjoy dinner with them their daughter Karen and her 2,  Ruby nd Ryan. They playing for a bit before dinner.

    Well we had another feast some of this wonderful Yellow corn we picked up at the Keady Market , a salad and pulled Turkey on a bun . what a tasty treat this was.

this corn is amazing like real corn should be

yummy tasty and Pulled Turkey,
they do raise Turkeys as well

   Them a bit of desert some squares and fresh fruit really did the trick today. Back home to finish this posting and relax outside on another warm evening reading for a while longer.

    That was our fun day here at the market and visiting family, out here in a great country setting on the farm. We heading on down the road again in the morning, newer places and old faces, don't want to wear out our welcome here.

      Thanks for stopping in and hope you enjoyed some great weather as well.

         Some how my formatting went kinda funky tonight, not sure if it was me or blogger. Not matter  not the first time and probably not the last time, But this was our day if you can make your way through it.
         Another hot night again 79F at 10 pm so our front a/c on lowest at 72F and was perfect for sleeping all night until 5 am was 69F outside, supposed to be another hot day, but we do have a nice  s/w breeze. I got a 2 miles walkabout in by shortly after 8 am felt good. Puttered around a bit then a drive to Juicy Fruit Farms on HWY 21 for some of their first picking of bi-color (peaches and Cream) corn this year, the white corn is not ready yet which we prefer.

lots of good stuff here, plus the produce in season

 They have fresh local beef and pork ,

 tasty bakery items as well. Plus other items etc..

love their check out a 1963 Chevy way too cool

       We enjoyed a light tasty lunch another short walkabout but really getting hot for that. Perfect solution relax outside in the shade with a nice breeze making it bearable.  But too hot inside already before noon at 90F so set our a/c on low just to keep it cooled down inside.
     After today it should be cooling down a bit.

at least we have a wonderful
breeze cooling this down
and a shady spot behind us to!

humidity at 75% makes it feel
much warmer

the winds are wild but our awning secure for now

looks nice for a while  

nice here for a while then got too hot

so we moved behind the coach
more shade and a nice breeze

        Enjoying our page turners, and shortly after 3 pm Gerry and Tucker joined us for Happy Hour, Of course Tucker headed right for Suzie so they both had a good doggie fix.

Tucker loves Suzie

Tucker Brought Gerry 

then Melinda done work got to join us
what a fun time we had
telling lies and sharing stories

        Soon was time for supper so they headed on home and time for me to whip up a tasty meal.
For supper I cooked a Tuna Steak for me and a Sword fish steak for Suzie , she prefers the Swordfish over Tuna and we happened to have one of each, You can click the links Swordfish  or Tuna both cooked very similar or my recipe blog top right sidebar, quick easy and so good if not overlooked. To that we added a small salad and some fresh corn on the cob I pickup us this morning. I like to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes in the husks and grill for 15-20 minutes or so, using the Weber Q anyway so why not ? Oh so tasty cooked this way.
        Just as the fish was about to be done a major wind picked up, so we quickly stored our awning, wow what a wind it was too. Don't need to loose another awning. So our fish was slightly over cooked by about 30 seconds , with these really makes a huge difference.

quick easy and tasty

Suzie's Sword fish
this fresh local corn is awesome

my tuna so very tasty
slightly over cooked but
 still tasty and very tender

the storm is almost here right in time for supper

inside looking outside looking out we had
some major wind an rain for
maybe 10 minutes

     Now not much more outside with the rain off and on again . so a quiet evening inside  reading and  just enjoying some rare inside time together. The pics below were taken last night right across from us , Kds in the playground  just before another interesting sunset we got to enjoy.

a nice sunset thorough the trees

       That was it for our very hot day keeping cooler and relaxing in the shade. Thanks for joining us today and hope y'all enjoyed your day as well.
