We met in Sacramento Saturday for a Mother's day celebration.
Linzi bought a very nice Brinkman 5 burner gas barbeque from Home Depot and Sean put it together. I cooked a very nice Morton marinated tri tip on it and we had a wonderful bash. Linzi cut up some zukes and mushrooms that I grilled in the grill basket. There was even some fresh white corn along side.
Before the dinner, we stopped by the nursery and picked out some plants and some drip irrigation for the new garden areas in her backyard. Sean put that together.. successfully while I grilled.
I got Sue a couple pots of Mexican Evening primrose. Some of the neighbors have them in the front yard and they are wonderful "splash" flowers in this heat. I figure that we have less than an month left for genuine petunias. These are not related although the look is similar. They like full sun and well drained soil. They are native in Mexico.and Southern United States. The variety is siskiyou pink. This variety is known for it large blooms. It says it will bloom throughout the summer months.
We are expecting temperatures above 100 today. at 1:49 the temp is 97. This kind of heat totally levels Heather. Linzi has as the best solution. Eliminate hard work during this heat of the day. Take it easy if you can. Drink plenty of liquid.
Speaking of liquid, I think that the girls have developed the perfect margarita recipe. The mix.. 1800, the tequila 1800, a couple of limes, some triple sec, and amazing is what you get.. bravo.
The Michelle Obama thing in Merced from all accounts was a wonderful success. Current estimates peg the increase in business to be 1.1 million dollars for just a couple of days. What a stimulus package!
Stay cool
