On the deck, my quiet place

spring water

water

baby back ribs

full-fat milk

baby back ribs

brewed House Blend

the past few days have been terribly humid so today

the thunderstorm arrived

flashes of lightning

after the rain

i headed out to the deck to survey the damage and take in the view

just branches to pick up so i'm happy

as you might know

this year the weather kept me indoors much longer than i would have liked

i got a bit depressed by the chill to the air and the lack of sunshine

it was everywhere

this happened three separate times

it took some time to finally out and warm up

now that it has

as usual

he was a little bored

hence the yawn

this is more like it....into everything

literally

this year

even

i was able to sit here

the citronella candles in my lanterns

soak up some much needed sunshine

last year we planted hops on the north side of the upper deck

currently

i can't wait to see it this fall

i really must be off

i have a feeling emmitt is into something

i can tell by the feather hanging out of his mouth

have a wonderful rest of the day - blessings to you my friends
