OK - According to the weathermen on ALL channels, we're about to have a few days of sunshine. Hooray! Maybe some of the lawns and gardens will dry out (a bit). I even met people over at Lowe's buying Garden Soil to put in their gardens because they needed to pile up dirt on their planted potatoes and all they had was MUD. (Dig a hole and discover well water. Don't you just love it!) Therefore, put on your gardening gloves, boots, and whatever and get out there and make use of whatever we have and get those projects done.
Friday night at Clewleys there will be (as long as they last) those marvelous coconut crusted shrimp with the orange marmalade dipping sauce, baked potatoes and asparagus - right after the pizza during the "Happy Hour" from 4pm-6pm up in the bar.
Saturday Night, the 18th - will be Tex-Mex Night at Clewley's. Dress accordingly (if you choose - but who among us doesn't have a pair of boots, at least) and come listen to Dola and Company while we get to chow down on some Western Fare - hopefully something BBQed. Food is usually ready by 6pm and the show starts at 7pm
Don't Forget the Farmer's Market on Sunday from 10AM to 1PM. I'm told the buyer traffic was steady last Sunday (the opening week) right up until the last 20 minutes when the big accident down at the Tradewinds showed an impact (no pun intended). All the same vendors will be returning - and who knows... maybe they'll be bringing along one or two more. I was so impressed with the lettuce and greens (how that woman grew items so large in this weather I'll never know). But I need a few more hostas for another garden area I'm planting next to the new walkway (I'll never learn, but what's needed must be done, donchaknow). There will be some baked goods - cookies, maybe bread, a cake or two... Just in time for Sunday dinner or supper, perhaps.
In the meantime - I watched five - 5! - male loons swim by yesterday afternoon - their heads periodically dipping down in the water checking for fish as they glided by on their way to the cove. And a hummingbird flew outside the office window - looking in - as though to remind me to change the water in her feeder. It's been there for over a week and with all this rain the hummingbirds haven't been around. So now the water is probably bad because of the sugar.
Therefore, time to sign-off for today. The sun is coming out and the water is like a mirror. The fog is gone and work outside can be done. Besides, I only have a bit over a week before family from the west coast arrives and you can only imagine what that means - excitement and CLEANING!
