It
once again felt wonderful being able to go to bed with the Bedroom
Window open last night allowing all that fresh air in. Unlike
Sunday night there were no noisy revelers leaving parties or birds
wanting the Sun to rise earlier then the earth’s rotation
would allow so we were able to have a restful night’s sleep. We
were sleeping so soundly that it took the sounds of Jackhammers
next door at 8:00 to wake us up with a start.

As
we had our breakfast Muffin the noise continued but we
were enjoying the slight breeze that was coming through the Balcony
Door. By the short time it took for us to bring our morning
Coffee/Tea to the Computers the noise level more then
tripled as a couple of Bobcats (Small Front-End Loaders)
started dumping mounds of broken Concrete into waiting
Roll-Off Bins. Each time their buckets were emptied it sounded
like an explosion resounding through the neighbourhood.
Since
the forecast was for temperatures to feel like the Century
Mark we succumbed to turning on our Air Conditioner
and closing the Balcony Door and Bedroom Window much
earlier then anticipated.
I
forgot to mention yesterday that one of the things we were able to
find while shopping in the produce section at Walmart
was Rhubarb. We both grew up eating it and whenever
we can find it in the stores we bring some home. While I was gone to
the Blood Donor Clinic in the
afternoon Kathy worked her magic and made it into a sauce.
For
lunch today we had Toast that we spread generous helpings of
Rhubarb Sauce on. We had a single Chocolate filled
Croissant for dessert.
With
our need to keep the noise and heat out we wanted to do something we
haven’t done in a while so we watched the movie “Air Strike”
starring Bruce Willis. It took place during WWII when the
Japanese were attacking China from the air and what was
done to stop them. We gave it an Eight out of Ten. This
was one of the many movies that we purchased from the Sale Bins
while travelling in our RV.
When
it came time for supper Kathy grilled some Salmon Fillets and
made the dessert plates while I made a Garden Salad then
topped it off with Shredded Cheese. It was all satisfying and
tasty.
The
6 o’clock Local News tried to explain why our Provincial
Government is allowing the Chatham/Kent
area to start opening for business while keeping the Windsor/Essex
area closed. Hopefully that will change by next week. They also
mentioned how much warmer tomorrow will be before the temperatures
drop on Thursday.
 |
| Tomorrow will feel like 108 F (42 C). Tomorrow and Thursday's Wind Gusts will be over 30 MPH. Saturday will feel like 61 F (16 C). |
We’ll
see what we can do tomorrow. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

What in the world are they doing with a jackhammer so close? I'm not sure what's worse ... jackhammer or a beer party next door! LOL
ReplyDeleteah....rhubarb. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways!
ReplyDeleteMy poor sister lives on the top floor of a condo building in Peterborough. Last summer they replaced all of the heating and cooling systems for the building RIGHT ABOVE HER UNIT! She had just bought her new RV, but it was still sitting in the holding area of the park waiting to get moved on to her lot. THere had been a hold up while the old RV was moved, which held up the guys who were to do all the moving and hookups on the new unit.....and did I mention it was the week before July 1 and hotter than blazes?
ReplyDeleteHaven't had rhubarb in many, many years Grandmother would cook it so that has to be many, many years.
ReplyDeleteYour dinner last night looks like ours did. We also had salmon and a salad. But we also had a side of mashed cauliflower.
Your salad looks good with dinner and so does your rhubarb sauce!
