Today was delightful! We sat out on the deck nearly all day. The predicted high was 90, but with almost continuous cloud cover and intermittent soft showers all day, our high was only 77 degrees. That's amazing for the end of July! With the showers, we got a total of .3" rain.
Margaret came bearing green beans that needed to be snapped, corn that needed to be shucked, tomatoes, and blueberries. We got all the snapping and shucking done out on the porch.
John tried something new with part of the ribs - using a dry rub rather than our usual marinade. Both were delicious. The veggies were wonderful as always. And the blueberry cobbler was a great way to end the meal. Vicki and Roger had joined us and brought potato salad.
Sorry you ALL couldn't have been with us. What a lovely midsummer day this was!
After everybody leaves tomorrow, I plan to be a sloth all the rest of the weekend. With all the leftovers, I won't have to cook for 3-4 days. That's ALWAYS good, too.
Today's photo is a lovely Tennessee rhododendron.
