It's Saturday and It's Hot!

 No one can sneak around this house without the westies

giving us notice.  Our shared landscaper [with our next door

neighbor] pulled up in front of our house.  It was

an all out bark-fest.

 The tail in the position of 'red alert'.

 Keeping an eye on the truck.

 This was the table setting for our casual burger dinner

last night.  Wilson fired up the Primo and the burgers

cooked in no time flat since the temp inside the Primo

reached 500 degrees.  We need to work on the cooking

time since those that wanted 'rare' got medium-fully cooked

but none the less they were still very tasty.

 I love making napkins but I still need to sit down and learn

how to do miter corners.  It's pretty simple from what I read it's just 

practicing on leftover fabric.  I did order more sale fabric from 

Hancock's that I want to use for napkins.  Since I never located my box

 of napkins {maybe it's in the storage unit but it's to hot to check} 

I'm trying to replenish my dinner napkin selection.

 I love our new Harris Teeter grocery store in Easton and

these are flowers from the floral department.

 With a few leftover stems I made up a small vase for the

burger buffet counter.  I forgot to take a picture but we had

a try of lettuce, tomato, cheese, macaroni salad, cold slaw,

pickles, and tossed salad.  For dessert I had made up little bowls

of vanilla bean and cookie & cream ice cream from the 

Scottish Highland Creamery in Oxford.  This is what 

ice cream should taste like ... rich and creamy. 

As the sun shines in through the top living room window it lands 

right on the table.  It can be pretty brutal when you're trying to eat.

Our lower living room window curtains will be installed on Monday

and we may need to install blinds on the top windows.   Since 

this is our first summer here we're waiting it out

before we're sure we need to spend the $'s on them.

 We love - love - love our screened in porches.  Personally I

can't wait for cooler temperatures because I want to have

a porch party with some friends and neighbors.

If you're going to have burgers you might as well have

them on the best buns you can find ... and these are it!

...

Have a great Saturday & stay inside 'cause baby

it's going to be a scorcher out there.
