We spent the day getting ready for our annual Memorial Day party tomorrow. I cleaned the deck off, set up a canopy, and scrubbed all the outdoor furniture. The house is tidied and cleaned. We have a big pile of hot dogs, hamburgers and chicken to grill tomorrow. Things are pretty much ready.
It was a gorgeous spring day. The temperature topped out in the high 70's, and the sky was a deep blue, with a few fluffy "good weather" clouds slowly drifting by. After enjoying some yummy pork shoulder steaks from the grill for dinner, I retired to the deck for the evening. It isn't often that I can sit out there after dinner without being eaten alive by the mosquitoes. I took my book and the rest of the bottle of wine from dinner. It was incredibly relaxing to sit out there reading with the breeze gently rustling the leaves in the trees and the birds singing throughout the neighborhood. Just the kind of relaxation I needed.
Tomorrow will be fun, though busy. I have a lot of meat to grill, and we're expecting a lot of guests. But our friends look forward to this party, and it is great to get all these people together for a relaxing afternoon of food and conversation. I probably to get to sleep early tonight, but its hard to end a day as nice as this one has been.
