It was a little cold at the log cabin this weekend - just under 20 degrees but the sun certainly brightened the days. Saturday night we were witnessing this beautiful sunset from the deck of our log cabin. It meant only one thing.....
Time to open up the Sunset Grille! What's better on a crisp cold night than a winter barbecue and eating some juicy steaks! We invited my in-laws over to enjoy them with us. (Besides - wouldn't you think Greg & I are little piggies for eating all these below? Ha,ha!)
After the barbecue, we enjoyed the moon light. As it got darker, we were surprised to see so many stars. Life is good.
Sounds like a perfect evening to me! your steaks look delicious!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I've never had a winter barbecue, but I would love to have one today :)
ReplyDeleteummm that looks so tasty! we are craving our grill to. wasnt the moon beautiful this weekend? I wanted to take a picture of it and I forgot. glad you did.
ReplyDeleteWhat very fortunate in-laws you have!! Log cabin, cold weather, stars, sunsets, juicy steaks on the grill, family to visit with...perfect weekend in my mind!!
ReplyDeleteI cookout on the grill all year long. In the rain, snow and sun!

LOVE the pic of the moon over the trees!
ReplyDeletei love to eat outside!! even in the cold.. by a fire. glad you enjoyed your time at your cabin this weekend!!
ReplyDeleteYou Michiganders are a hardy breed -- a barbeque in 20° weather! But it looks delicious and Mother Nature sure contributed a wonderful sky.
ReplyDeletePerfect! We love to grill and do it year round.
ReplyDeleteWe grill all winter too. Your steaks look so delicious! As usual you have the most amazing pictures! I hope you have a lovely day. What's that Charli? Oh,OK. Charli says to tell Marvin she said hello ♥

What a wonderful weekend. It sounded so relaxing.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you all had a really nice time with plenty of beautiful scenery to enjoy! Congrats to all the winners of your giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThose steaks look great on the grill and your sky shot is just beautiful! My post today here in NC almost looks like it could have been taken in Michigan! We had a big snow storm and have 8 inches of snow!!
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed that smiling moon too. good thing you are young and can burn off all that steak (o:
ReplyDeleteThe Sunset Grille, looks like my type of place. Again, great pictures!

Beautiful night time photos and I can almost hear the steaks sizzling! I did not realize your inlaws were close to the cabin. Sounds like a fun time for everyone. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteCedar - it was lovely! Can't wait to barbecue in warmer temps now!
ReplyDeleteCam - I think you should fire up your grill too! :)
Dawnie - it looked so wonderful from our deck - I finally remembered to take a photo.
Judy - My in-laws are the nicest people - so it just added to our great day!
Denise - I'm beginning to think like you - grill anytime!
Anne - thank you!
Dawn - I think being outside in the great outdoors just makes the food taste even better!
George - We're making the most of this cold winter! But I am looking forward to barbecuing without hat, mittens, boots & a winter coat! Ha,ha!
Jen - I thought you would be an all round griller! I'm going to be one too now!
Charli - Marvin says hello and he saved you a bit of steak!
Leedra - it was cold but we were happy to be there!
Upon a hill - thanks so much!
Wendy - thanks sis!
Hi Betsy - Greg's parents have a cottage about 20 minutes south of us. This past weekend they weren't able to make it down the 2 track road to their place so they ended up staying at ours! We had fun!
Tammy - thank you! I should mention we had some good red wine too....
Judy - it was relaxing - just what the doctor ordered!
April - I love every little tree, leaf and rock on our property! The lake is a bonus to look at!
Penny - Michigan is following you... :-)
Grammy - I really should lay off the steak! I keep trying to become a vegetarian but fall off the wagon occassionally - LOL!
Looks heavenly! Steaks don't look bad either!!
ReplyDeleteLove your weekend. I am not answering my phone next weekend. LOL Your pictures are beautiful. Sharon
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a wonderful weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteLove, Joy =D
...those steaks do look good...and there's no better way to get through the winter!
ReplyDeleteSounds Like a wonderful evening. Have a great week
ReplyDeleteThanks for the poetic reminder...life is good!
ReplyDeleteYummy! We grill all year long (of course it's Texas!) I have been collecting buffalo steaks in the freezer for a special occasion. I wait until they are reduced for quick sale and then I grab them! Ground bison is over $5 a pound! I use ground bison in my Black Bean and Buffalo Chili! Since it was determined that it was indeed a meteorite that burnt up over North Texas 2 weeks ago, a few meteor fragments have been discovered.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite things to do is to be waiting for Old Faithful to go off at night and watching the night sky for stars! Occasionally you will catch a shooting star or a sattalite passing by!

Love the photos. I was enjoying that very same crescent moon this past Saturday night, too, undoubtedly just an hour or so before you (given the time zone differences). Thanks for sharing this!
