Superstitious - Friday 13th.

 Are you superstitious? ...no I am not.

Every Friday 13th, a town located on the north shore of Lake Erie hosts a motorbike rally that started 40 years ago.   This town has a normal population of 6,000 people, however, on a "normal" 13th, it grows to 100,00 bikers, the curious, spectators and venders of almost anything and everything you could imagine.  This celebration was toned down due to the pandemic, so no vendors and to keep the people social distanced the bikes were parked on more of the streets that they would normally be.  The weather did not look too promising, so there were only 35,000 in attendance.

My youngest daughter and her husband have a bike, and they both took a vacation day to attend.  I have not had a chance to talk to her, but from the looks of the reports on the TV last night it looked very well organized.   Personally, I am not a fan of motor bikes.

It was hot and humid yesterday, and cloudy most of the day, which resulted in a very heavy thunder shower later in the afternoon, just what we needed more humidity.   The weather system that brought us the unpleasant weather during the past week has now moved along and cooler and less humid weather is forecast for the next few days.   Woke to lovely sunshine and clearer air, however, it appears it is going to be short lived as by the end of the upcoming  week we return to the humid weather again. The rain and heat certainly make the grass grow, cannot keep up to it.

We are picking a lot of tomatoes from our plants and have now started to put some in the freezer that can be used in sauces later.  

What am I doing today,  the first load of laundry is in the drier, when finished  chatting to you, tomatoes need to be picked before the chipmunks decide to have a nibble.  I would not mind if they would take them and eat it all, no they only take a bite and get another, I suppose they try to choose a nice ripe one with more flavour.  Then the even ending bits of housework that need to be done and some weed pulling is on the agenda.

Dinner, burgers on the BBQ, salad and we have more strawberries to finish for dessert.
