This is it summer is finally here yahoo!
A pretty nice morning but still damp after last night's rain. Soon the sun shone and dried up very nicely. Got a nice walkabout town, and back home. But having an issue with my Mac Book Pro. hmm, the touch pad has a mind of it's own. Now the touch pad on a Mac works wonderful and I love it. So hoped in the car to the Apple store in Waterloo. In a couple of minutes I had help, my Mac was diagnosed and all is working fine , but the touch pad has gone funky. Need a new touch pad. BUT, seeing as my Mac is over 8 years old Apple does not have parts for it anymore. Options. an external I mouse ($79.00) will work or an external touch pad ($179.00) Or I can try to get an aftermarket touch pad on line and have someone install it. (no charge at the Apple store for help) Don't want to spend a lot of money on it just want to be able to used it. So the tech guy at Apple sent me to a computer store and I bought and external wireless mouse for 15 bucks. Works fine now, just much prefer the touch pad. Eventually I will need a new Mac so don't want to put a lot of money into this one. I used a mouse for many years on my pc's but this just works so much nicer and has so many neat features.
That done home for lunch And a walkabout in the woods across the road. As soon as I entered the bush I noticed a whole mess of these Giant Hogweed plants, They look like Queen Anne's lace but are 6 to 8 feet tall. Very toxic , can cause skin blisters. and even temporary or permanent blindness if you get them in you eyes. A very invasive plant they are for more info click

I mowed for an hour then stopped to whip up supper at 5 o'clock. Tonight a couple of boneless pork chops to add to our salad. Try them on the grill mat keeps them moist and the grill clean, seem to work pretty good and they were so tasty,

Supper done, dishes done , was a wonderful warm evening so I hopped on the mower again at 6 until 8 and got 95 % of the yard done. Time to call it quits for the day. Relax outside with my honey, finish posting my blog, enjoy this great weather and get back into my page turner book for a while.
Not a bad day at all, enjoying this cooler but still warm drier air today, Mind you it actually did get up to 84F (28C) mid afternoon. Another perfect day for us here.
Hope y'all had a great day as well and thanks for stopping on by.
