It’s 85 degrees here (105 down the mountain) and will cool to the 40’s tonight. The cranes have been keeping me up, talking at night. Quietly at 2:30 in the morning, quite more vocal between 5-6 a.m. but it sure is nice to have the windows open at night!
Especially as I added curry to my carrot soup and can air it out tonight. I marinated two boneless, skinless chicken breasts in soy sauce, lemon, peperoncini (hot pepper flakes), garlic, ginger and pepper and it’s on the grill. Soup is ready. I’ll let you know how that goes. We were also left some frozen hash-brown potatoes (Ore-Ida frozen) by a departing neighbor and I’m cooking those and we’ll be ready in a few minutes.
Photos include one late afternoon from the path a few feet from our downstairs deck, one of mama crane and baby “colt” taken this morning, as well as the balloons.
Hope your weekend was great! Dee
Cooking with Dee 
Your site has been a great inspiration and the knowledge gained has gotten me past the obstacle blocking my way.
Ummm, so I guess you didn’t get to pan-fry any fresh trout ;-) ?
Don’t know yet – he comes in next weekend. Dee
