This hot and humid weather is just the perfect combination for thunderstorms and heavy rain, which happened today, however, I was not home, where I was - no rain.
I was out having lunch with two friends in a nice tea room, they call themselves a tea room but, they service delicious lunches. No fancy cups and saucers and tiers of mini sandwiches and cakes to be found here, have to go to a real tea room for that which is not very far from where we were.
A nice afternoon with these two gals.
The lawns and gardens have been revived with the rain we have been having, so lots of grass cutting and weeding being done, not by me though. Summer perennial flowers are starting to bloom, garden going to look nice when we are not here, thats OK some will be flowering still.
Workers have been busy for the past several weeks making holes in everyone's lawn and threading a cable though for fibre optics. Digging the holes is not done by shovels and men or even machines to scoop out the dirt, it is done with water and a huge vacuum which can pick up large boulders. This allows all the roots of the trees to go undisturbed and intact.
The holes are slowly being filled, hopefully all back to normal soon.
Dinner tonight BBQ'd ribs, new potatoes with mint and broccoli, strawberry shortcake for dessert.
Have a great day.
Cheers
Pat
Sounds like a lovely outing with your "gal pals"! We got a bit of rain this afternoon and it really cooled things off - dropped from 31C to 23C in a matter of an hour. But I expect the heat will be back in a day or so.
ReplyDeleteThere was an 1 1/2 inches of rain in my gauge. Better weather today.
