Try to Stay Awake...

I have nothing interesting to say today so if there's paint drying somewhere you may want to move along.

I made soap yesterday. I haven't made any for a few weeks and yesterday I got a bad case of the suds. I used pepperberry (not pearberry) fragrance and the entire house smelled like warm fall autumnaly spicy goodness all day. I tried to color it a really deep rich fall color and this is what I got. LOVE it!



I've been reading up on different kinds of soap and decided I wanted to try some old time recipes, this one uses lard. Ugh, I know, lard. Gross. But, it makes great soap. Sooooper creamy and sudsy. I think I love lard.

I'm not going to eat it though. Well maybe just a little. In a biscuit. With jam.

Lets play a game. The game is called See What I See. Wait, first look at what I saw yesterday. It's Timber on a dirt pile in front of the barn.

Cute huh.

Ok, back to the game.

This is a photo of my iPhoto. Look how many pictures I've uploaded since january.

That's alot of pictures.

This is looking out the window to my right.

That's a big tree.

This is looking out the window in front of me and to my left.

A dirty window, a dusty printer and a cold cup of coffee.

My desk is at the end of the house, so if you look the other way this is what you see.

All the way down there is the kitchen. That's my Dad in the festively wrapped box. I keep him on the desk or next to the t.v so things stay interesting. Wyatt's head light, his book, a swim schedule (not like we don't know it by heart) and a fly swatter.

We'll that was fun. Not really, but at least you got to see what I see. Except for the dishes that I haven't done, the laundry I haven't folded or the stinky dogs under the desk, but I need to save something for next week.

Have a good weekend!
