Finally Some Shade

You may recall from a previous post that we lost the majority of our Maple tree during a rather fierce storm a few weeks ago. You can see it in the background and there is not very much left of the trunk or the foliage above.

Being rather fair skinned, I couldn't stand the lack of shade anymore so went out and bought a gazebo. It has shades and curtains, so we can keep out the bugs as well as the sun when it dips below the roof.

We have already enjoyed our long weekend and company under the gazebo having a good old Canada Day barbeque with the grandkids. Of course for the adults a Caesar or three, then some good old barbequed all beef weenies and then Mike (our son-in-law) treated us all to Hagan Daas ice cream bars. Yum!!!

Guess I'll be watching the calories this week. No potatoes, bread, pasta or white rice for me this week. In face I put in almost an hour at the pool this morning. Hopefully that burnt off all those nasty calories.
