Sunny Sunday

Good Morning!
Opening the kitchen is a first for me but there is coffee and plenty of fresh fruit. Be forewarned about the coffee as I use a dark roast and like it on the strong side.
Am off to a great start on my wish for a calm, quite weekend. Weather has been near perfect for past two days and two more are in the forecast. Heading for mid 90s makes it a bit uncomfortable by noon. Took me a few minutes this morning as I was having coffee on porch to realize that all I heard was birds singing; no chain saws buzzing (last Thursday storm took down several more nearby trees). All of the limbs are finally cleaned up from my yard, including the rocks out front (hired someone for that job); just some sticks and twigs left to deal with at some point. There have been no power outages or family crisis in the last 48 hours; life is certainly improving.
Insurance adjustor came by yesterday to inspect roof for hail damage. He thinks they may want to patch it rather than replace it but won't know for sure for a while. Seems the trees may have protected some areas while other places took a real beating. This guy is a contractor from CA and first time working in south or seeing tornado damage. He even admitted having difficulty judging damage as the swirling winds loaded with hail don't leave a pattern he is familiar with for hail. He says he simply sends his report back to insurance home office and they have to make the determination from there. If they want to patch, I may try to get a second opinion (not sure if they do that or not).
Hope everyone is having a great weekend whatever you are doing.
