We are having people over for a barbeque this afternoon – of course it is going to be in the mid 80's after having no spring!!
Gotta get on with stuff! – like making ice cubes! And, finding the sunscreen lotion!
Edited to add: and now the people across the alley have decided today is a good day to demolish their old garage!!! Power saws and all!

Awww, invite me too! Get me outta this work-weekend-cycle!
You are working late!!! You should be out partying!
HA! I wish!
Enjoy the barbecue! Send over the barbecue smell so that power saws will drool too.
Sounds like fun! Maybe the wonderful smells from the bbq will convince the workers across the street to take a break & go out to eat! 🙂
yeah put on on the barbie for me too!We are having summer! Went to the lake yesterday and had Lightning last night!
well it was a good day to hang out laundry but of course it is normal for a nice quiet Saturday afternoon to be interrupted by lots of noise, is not the perfect thing to go along with BBQ and conversation back ground noise oh wait that is back ground music, close!
At least the weather cooperated, even if the neighbors didn't!
What?? I couldn't hear you over the saws.
a saw could come in handy for removing the meat's bone and gristle.
Hope the barbecue was wonderful! Yay for sunscreen! And hats.
I think you would like the salads I made…… though the smell of bbq'ing meat is always good!
LOL – I thought that I should be offering them a drink – it was so hot. They did make a couple of comments about the delicious smell wafting over the fence – perhaps that did hurry them along.
It was even hotter today – 92! We had to turn the a/c on. Today we had leftovers – almost as good as yesterday.
LOL – we had to play our jazz quite loudly. Luckily the backyards in my street don't have lawns or we might have mowers and whipper snippers out on the weekends too! We all have rotary mowers or clippers to do our front lawns and those are pretty quiet.
LOL – it was certainly better than rain – and better than today which was too hot at 92 degrees!
LOL! After the construction clean up the wind must have changed and we became the flight path for helicopters heading to the nearby hospital. It was a great afternoon regardless – friends and alcohol can overcome any noise! 🙂
LOL – not sure I would've vouched for how sanitary the saw was!
Glad you had a good time!!
It was – and leftovers today! Last year a couple of people got sunburnt on our back deck so now I provide sunscreen – it is byo hat though.
OMG! 92 is way too hot. Not sure how warm it was here today. We were at a party all afternoon. I sat outside in the shade for awhile, but spent most of the time inside. The host had her air conditioner turned on because two of her kids have really bad allergies. Sounds like you had enough good food and drink and good company! We had a good time today, too.
Yeah! We may break a record tomorrow.
LOL for that cartoon!!!Barbecues, buildings being demolished…you have such an INTERESTING life!!!Spring. I wonder where it went?
We've just finished our 4th hot day. We had to turn our A/c on, on Sunday as the house was just too hot. Apparently on Saturday we had the highest pollen reading we've had for 12 years (at this time of year I think they mean).
Yes – I really appreciated the cartoon. Interesting life?? LOL – here I am thinking that things are so boring I have nothing to blog about!
We thought about turning on the A/C, but just opened windows and turned on fans instead. It's cool enough today that a jacket feels good.
