We have been enjoying summer break for two weeks now. We like having some time with no deadlines and not much scheduled. Summer is a time for recharging. Each of us can do his or her own thing.
We have time to do things at a slow pace and choose our own agenda. D has refurbished the bike he bought for M at the rummage sale and now they can both ride at the same time. D uses my old (30+ years) bike on the left.
B has been at a two week woodworking class in Maine. I am eager to see the project he has been working on. The rest of us have been sleeping in and recharging our batteries.We have been playing a lot of games too. Badminton, rummikub, cards, anagrams, matchbox cars, soap bubbles, swings, coloring...
We have also been working a bit to recharge the freezer.
P has really been enjoying the green peas. She pretty much eats them as fast as she can shell them.So far, the basement freezer contains 15 strawberry rhubarb pie fillings, 7 jars of strawberry jam, 8 bags of green peas, and 3 bags of strawberry sauce for shortcake. I think that is a good start on food preservation for next winter.
I am still trying to find a little time for some needlework.What do you do to recharge?
