Yesterday was easily the most beautiful day of the year to date! It was sunny and warm (78°), the sky was blue and clear, and the birds sang loudly and with great enthusiasm. A gentle breeze was an excellent compliment to the day.
Following service at Harvest Christian Center, a fellowship barbecue was held. A church member had anonymously gifted a large barbecue, and another church member had anonymously gifted a large ice chest. Hot dogs and hamburgers were grilled on the new barbecue, and a vast array of side dishes and desserts covered a long table. Approximately 100 people were in attendance. I photographed the event and will post the URL here when I have completed a slide show of select images from the 250+ photographs I took.
When we arrived home following the fellowship barbecue, I determined that it was an excellent time to wash Mr. Nitro. I spent a good deal of time washing him by hand. When I had completed the washing process, I sprayed him with anti-spotting rinse, using the Mr. Clean system. I took him for a quick run to the local cemetery and back to air dry him He gleams!
