Pears n plums n shingle nails

This is an experimental first post from my new Dreamwidth "primsong" account, to see how (or if) that crossposting thing works - please excuse any bumbling while I figure it out.

Conquered my reams of apples, froze the last of the blueberries and just put nearly the last of the pears into a big pan of ginger-pear crumble. The plums are next! They're ripening nicely - but the darn squirrels keep eating them before they're quite ripe enough for us human beings. They better leave some for me, grumble.

We've nearly finished repairing the rotten roof on our shed and re-shingling, but yikes the nails just flew everywhere when the old stuff was shoveled and scraped off. I need to go find one of those magnet-on-a-stick things and play treasure hunter with nails in the grass for a while, I like padding around barefoot in the summer too much.

Hope everyone is getting at least a few of their summer projects tidied up before the weather changes again, I only got maybe half of them done but at least it was something. What did you paint, re-do, plant, tear down, fix, upgrade or otherwise accomplish this summer past?
