It's Memorial Day Weekend

Didn't it seem like the rain would never stop and spring was skipping 2010?  It teased us back in March, but then it seemed it was gone for good.  Well today it's 75 degrees at 9:30 in the morning.  Fingers crossed that the rain is gone till next winter.

This is the weekend that cherry picking opens here in Brentwood.  Traffic will be awful on our normally quiet country roads.  People come from all over the Bay Area to pick our delicious cherries and pick up our peaches and other local produce.  So today my friend Joyce and I went to the Farmer's Market in town to get fresh fruit and veggies and avoid the crowds at the farms.  It's too soon for Brentwood corn, but the corn at Safeway or Raley's  is pretty good too.

We're going to need a bunch of it because our oldest son and his family will be out for a Bar-B-Q on Sunday.  The kids (7, 13, and 15 years old) love fresh corn on the cob. We'll try our hand at picking some of those cherries on Sunday too.  We heard it's less crowded on the other side of Walnut, so that's where we'll probably head. 

How will you remember our vets this weekend?  Don't forget to take a few minutes at your picnic or Bar-B-Q to thank those that are serving our country and all who served in the past. 


HAVE A GOOD MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND AND STAY SAFE!
