Well the sun is shining like crazy and although it is early, already the temperature is hot!! It could very easily be sunburn weather. It is too hot to go into the garden and I think Beef said something about rototilling between the rows today.
Beef did come over and rototill the garden and it looks wonderful. Gloria, his girlfriend text him and said that we were under a severe thunderstorm watch today. As I gaze up into the sky and see nothing but blue, I find that hard to believe but hey, this is Saskatchewan and anything can and usually does happen!!
There is a football game today, the Saskatchewan Roughriders are playing the Edmonton Eskimos so we will have to get all the little jobs done around here before it starts. Hopefully the Riders are bringing their "A" game today as the Eskimos will be out for blood.
Dave and Shirley came over during half time and John was so disappointed in the Rider's play that we sat outside and chatted with them. Final score - Eskimos 42, Riders 28!!
Jeff (Dave's brother) was out for the weekend so the three of them came for a beer before Jeff had to drive back to the city. They had been out on the quads and did some of the same trails we did yesterday. Dave said he recognized our tracks. They too saw several rabbits.
Jeff left and shortly after that, the weather turned real ugly. I guess Gloria's warning was true. The wind came up and the fork lightening was incredible. It was close!! The thunder rumbled and then the rain came - hard and on such a slant that it was coming in under the awnings!! There was even a bit of rotation in the clouds and Dave was convinced that a tornado was a good possibility!! Go on with you Dave!! No really, Go on and make sure your back door is open because if I see a tornado, I am going to run across the road and down into your basement!!
The storm did not last very long but brought enough rain so that I will not have to water the garden tomorrow.
Once Dave and Shirley left, it was time for supper, a bit of TV then off to bed. Another good day was had by all!!
