First non-medicinal ingredient in Solarcaine, in french: Acétate isoceteth-3 de propylèneglycol.

Either way, it feels pretty good on my face. The Sunscreen Queen, who usually slathers on SPF 50 every morning, took a break for the long weekend. I went up to J.’s family’s cottage, where I read, knit, went for long walks, and sat in peace by the lake. It was a nice chance to relax before school starts to get hectic.

I’ve also been finishing the knitting projects that I start — three lace shawls in the past month, a sweater, a cardigan.   Some of these will be gifts.  I’m making more than I can use, just for the pleasure of learning new techniques.

There are tiny, hard, green tomatoes growing on my back porch, and a tiny green bell pepper.   Enough basil to make a ton of pesto.   A container full of mint, reaching higher every day.

It all feels really, really good.
