Day 339 - December 5

It has snowed on December 5th for many, many, many years lately.  I believe the newspaper said 9 of the last 10?  We got just about 12 flurries today, but as someone posted on my FB page, "snow is snow."  You can see the flurries beginning to accumulate on the lip of the grill cover this morning, but as soon as the sun came over the house they disappeared.  We recently moved our grill to this mid-deck location so that it'd be closer to the light and the door.  We can't grill here in the summer because of the leafy tree, but since the tree is sticks and the weather is cold, it came close for the winter.  It was much easier to grill the burgers on Friday with it's new location!

Day 179 - June 28

Mike's anniversary present.  I decided that I wanted to get him a grill, since my old little one was really pushing to get by lately, but I let him pick it out. 

I was proud of the fact that the one I would have picked is the one he picked.  And amusingly enough, it's the one Consumer Reports picked, too.

Day 155 - June 4

We're having a bit of a cloudburst here.  The massive amount of rain is best illustrated by our overflowing rain barrel, less than 10 minutes into the storm.  Lots of thunder, lots of lightning, lots of rain.  Unfortunately, we mis-calculated when it would get here and our dinner got stuck on the grill for the downpour.  It's a little well done. :)
