Where are we today ?
Would like to wish a
Happy Independence Day to all of our American Friends
Pretty cool early this morning (45f =7.C) but it warmed up quickly to the mid 70's again,(24C). After the walkabouts we headed into Peterborough about 25 minutes away. Destination The Farmer's Market.
Before getting there we stopped at Giant Tiger to pick up a few items, then through downtown to the Market.
Along the way passed a few nice old churches.
Then through the downtown core along George St.. And what do they call it? Downtown George of course.
Then arrived at the Farmer's market shortly after 10 am. Another Market that we enjoy when in the area. Fresh food, Baked goods, crafts produce its all good.

Then the final stop on the way out was to pick up some fresh sweet cherries, oh to tasty.
Then we made our way back home, for a light lunch, putter around for a while , enjoy our e-readers, then join our neighbors for a nice social hour. Chat for a while and Suzie got her "doggie fix" again with BJ and Max.

But then before we know it 5 o'clock and time for supper. So I fired up our Weber Q, whipped up a salad and grilled a couple pork chops and fresh tomatoes halves with garlic goat cheese we got at the market today, AMAZING flavor.

| very tasty supper again |
I had posted yesterday about spider dogs for the grands and people have been asking what are they? We have been making them for years, just thought every camper knew what they were.
Just a different way to cook a hot dog , preferably on a campfire but can be done on a BBQ or even boiled in water. Fun for children of all ages and changes the shape and taste of a hot dog, I found a website
HERE
I even dug up a few pics I had taken a while ago as well.

| they curl up and kinda look like a spider |
That was another great day we had here, and a wonderful evening as well. Had a few people stop by for a visit after supper, and we enjoyed chatting outside until about 9:30pm when them darn Skeeters decided they want to come out and eat. No problem time to head inside anyway.
Thanks for stopping in again and hope y'all had a great day too.
