Day Thirty Six - Long Weekends, BBQ's & Friends!

 The long weekend has finally arrived for all my Canadian friends and we have finally found the sunshine.  It is 10:30am and it is over 20 degrees Celsius already.  Bring on the heat and the sun!  Now a long weekend means different things to everyone but the general consensus is food, fun and friends.  I made 3 different salads last night, a lemon trifle, cooked potatoes and marinated meat for kabobs tomorrow and am working on peanut butter cookies right now.  I still have a few things to put together before we head out the door to start our bbq travel weekend but that's ok.  I have also packaged a cooler bag with my allowed food choices hidden within in.  I don't think it will be a big issue....I love to cook and watch others enjoy the food I have prepared.  I will enjoy the food that I have made for myself.  I am so happy that the sun has finally decided to make an appearance as I was getting a little disturbed by the gloomy grey rainy days.  I also managed to do some planting and hung out two hanging baskets on my front porch.  The backyard is looking better as Geoff finally was able to get the grass cut, Monday my brother is coming to help me remove a cedar bush ...roots and all.  Tuesday, Adam is coming to install my central air conditioning system. Adam is the son of some dear friends and a wonderful guy.  I have watched Adam grow up into a amazing young man and am very proud of him and his business (heating and air conditioning).  ok now I am getting ticked off I made peanut butter cookies the same way I make them every time and they are burning on the outside and not cooking on the inside....how can this be?   Is it Wacky Wednesday?  I have tons of stuff to do yet today so the blog won't be very long....oh I did get to plant my indoor tomato plants so they can start and then I will transfer them outside later.  Hopefully they will all take...I did 12 little plants of beefsteak tomatoes.  Cant wait to start planting my garden, carrots, peas, tomatoes, green onions, turnip, peppers, yellow beans...hopefully zucchini.  I hope to get a good start this weekend but who knows.  I will take it one day at a time.  Enjoy your weekend folks, be safe and don't drink and drive....arrive alive!
