A dreary weekend...weather wise, that is...

In our travels yesterday, we found a source for nice firewood.  H wanted to have the fire pit going last night so that we could enjoy the nice evening that was predicted.
The guy is a 5th generation on that plot of land!  The city is building up around him and he hates it.  I can't say that I blame him.  His family has been there since 1874!   However-many-great-grandfathers ago couldn't even imagine the busy 2 lane road with a stop light and multiple turn lanes that are in front of his old home.

Well, even tho he was a character, he sold some great firewood.  H got the fire started before he even started the grill.  We got to enjoy it for a bit, but then the rain set in.  I guess we both missed that part of the forecast!!!  Oh well.  We moved inside and listened to Pandora and chatted.  It was a nice evening.
 I did take my camera out....TRIPOD and all!  I was playing with some of the settings....automatic and manual!  It was fun.
 Apparently we didn't get too much rain...about 1/2" in the gauge....but the humidity didn't go away as it was very foggy on our  morning walk.
The cricketers in the park:
 
 H suffers me well when I take my camera along.  They just waited for me.
Aren't I the luckiest girl in the world???
I think so!
H has started on brunch and I am playing on the computer...of course!  
We harvested some cilantro from our CG yesterday.  I have some avocados, so it will be a nice guacamole for the game.  We also had some daikons that we harvested, so I found a recipe for a beef soup with daikon.  With the fog, soup just sounds good, doesn't it?
Wish you were here to join us....so we could all cheer:
Go Steelers!
