When Canada Day falls on a Saturday it is then observed on the following Monday. Independence Day in the U.S. July 4th, both holidays celebrated either hosting or attending a picnic or barbecue, today many will already see to the gathering of family and friends enjoying the many summer activities for a fun weekend. We get to celebrate the Fourth of July along with our southern neighbours usually with a barbecue for son’s 4th of July birthday.
Have the freezer filled with the makings for barbecuing, also thinking come Sunday a country drive to the top of the valley and the north farms to see how the crops are doing. Tradition sees to a packed picnic lunch while we enjoy country time.
Today must pick up fresh lemons, oranges and the sparkling wine for Derf’s wonderful Sangria. We often add orange slices if I can find smaller oranges. It's an awesome summer sipper.
