Canning isn't something I'm doing, but a friend with an orchard made some nice jams for us.
The warm, summer-like wind reminded me of the Caribbean, and today's the same, although we went to the hospital for a doc's appointment. Also, the quiet on the roof, and the privacy, and a unique view which I don't usually have. being a detail person and with this condition, I usually don't have a "perspective". I can't place my finger on the quality, other than the warmth. I did allow myself the time, spontaneously(it wasn't on my list of things to "do"...that went out the window for a few days, and I wasn't feeling well. I had to "seize the day", since some things have to be done,and I was going to make sure). My brother was able to adjust the shingle, but there is another leak somewhere, needing attention, from a professional, otherwise I think I'm going to wake up some day thinking about a big wet kiss....and wake up with a huge piece of drywall on my face because the leak caused the ceiling of my drywall to cave in.
I made sure mom had a outside sunny seat to enjoy the sun after the doctor's appointment, and she enjoyed the sun-warmed breeze blowing over the lake.
