Our Location today is McGregor, Ontario,
Canada.
Last night Kathy had gone to bed while I
attempted to upload the blog. Strangely I had no trouble what-so-ever adding
the first three pictures and then it was like someone turned a switch off and
said no more. I never even thought of that until I started writing this evening’s
post. The temperature dropped down to 52 F (11 C) overnight which is far from
the norm for this time of year. Having gone to sleep with most of the windows
just ajar and the vents wide open around 3:30 I needed to close a couple of the
vents in order to stop shivering.
Once breakfast was finished this morning
we took the time to finish our morning reading before starting other chores.
Kathy completed some house cleaning before starting to make our lunch. This
morning I used the Black & Decker mower/weed whacker to trim our grass
before giving it a good soaking.
Homemade Tomato/Cheddar soup. Pineapple rings for dessert. |
Kathy had made her homemade Tomato and
Cheddar soup for our lunch. It’s always great tasting and has all the protein needed
to carry a person through to their next meal.
After lunch Kathy wanted some bacon
grilled on the Weber so she can freeze it then simply take what is needed from
the package and warm it up or break it up in a salad. Even though the outside
of both store brand packages read that they contained the same bacon one
package contained very thick bacon while the slices in the other were so thin
you could practically see through them.
With the temperatures being close to
normal today Kathy wanted to continue cleaning the trailer since the sun had already
moved to our door side she could work in the shade of the roadside. She took
her time getting the last of a year’s worth of grime from that side of the
trailer.
I had to clean up the paint tray that I’d
used to apply the roof coating to the roof last week. I’d had it soaking to
soften it up since using it but it still took over an hour to scrape the
material from the tray. Since I had a plastic shopping bag partially filled
with garbage I took the time to scrape the inside of the Weber out which
actually topped up that bag. My next chore was to install the two tree
ornaments that we had bought at the Dollar Store yesterday into the trees. Since
they are totally made of plastic I installed them on opposite sides of the tree
in hopes of stopping the birds from defecating on the vehicles. Using the eighteen-foot
paint-pole I got them way up there. I’ll
let you know if it works.
Kathy had nearly completed cleaning the roadside
of the trailer by the time I arrived to get the high spot she couldn’t reach.
Zucchini, Pork Kabobs and Salad The desserts are mixed frozen berries on yogurt. |
For supper the Weber did a great job of
grilling a Zucchini and some Pork-Kabobs to go with the salad Kathy had already
made.
The cooler temperatures really helped the plants. |
In answer to a comment about attending
the Escapade in Vermont this year? Even though we’d like to because we’ve never
been to Vermont we’ll have to sit this one out because we just have too much to
accomplish and too little time before heading to the southwest this coming fall.
Kathy will definitely be using Tylenol
tonight to ease some aches and pains. Tomorrow even though we have some chores
to do; we plan on having a little Our Time for a special celebration. Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe
and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
