Rib Fest

The smell of smoky barbecue wafted towards us as we walked down the street. This was the first time we had taken in the deliciousness that is Rib Fest. The food was amazing and there was lots of fun for the kids. It looked to me like there was a good turn out despite the heat. There is a Rib Fest in August near Petawawa so maybe we will get to that one too.
I can't imagine how the cooks must have felt! I was sweating just standing there and I know I was bordering on heat stroke. I definitely over did it today!
This morning I had been trying desperately to get the garden weeded. The temperature was over 40 degrees with the humidex and there wasn't a breeze in sight. Plus, yesterday's rain had turned the soil to mud making my job even tougher. I should have quit sooner but being the perfectionist I'am I was desperate to get it finished before we leave. The heat has just been so bad and the only slightly cooler evenings too busy. In the end I only got half way but I will try to finish tomorrow.
Many thanks to my mother in law for agreeing to look after it while we are away. I just couldn't bear the thought of all that hard work going to waste.
