A Slice of My Life

I think squash curlicues are so cute. I bet you do too. See the baby squash in the background? I hand-pollinated three flowers over the weekend; I noticed  that several little squash nubs turned black and didn't develop as they should, and I think it's because they weren't well-pollinated. Crossing my fingers that there will be three more baby squash on the vine.

Soapmaking Safety and How to Weigh Oils for a Batch of Soap

Have you ever used a bar of handmade goat milk soap? I just can't tell you how superior it is to store-bought soap. The lather is thick, creamy and luxurious. The fat in the milk makes the soap extra-rich, and I use skin-nourishing oils. Everyone who has tried my soap loves it!

Silver Sunday

And the words of the Lord are flawless, like silver... Psalm 12:6 NIV

I am thankful to the Lord, my God, for:

- God's mercy
- August rain
- garden produce
- flowers
- air conditioning

Silver Sunday

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son,  that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 NIV
