Beautiful Day.......

"A worthy wife is her husband's joy and crown; the other kind corrodes his strength and tears down everything he does." Proverbs 12:4

"Hard work means prosperity; only a fool idles away his (her) time." Proverbs 12:11

My husband has been working a very long, hot day, so I am throwing together a cool, fresh tossed salad and throwing some salmon on the grill and we will eat on the front deck in the cool shade of the evening.... Found salmon lately, frozen at our Grocery Outlet!! Do you have a Grocery Outlet kind of store?? Very good deals on many things, fresh, frozen, dairy.........between that and my food co-op it is easier to control our food bill.

Just recently I made a lovely batch of soap. The main ingredient is simply olive oil. This soap lathers so well and feels so good on your skin......it was one I had not tried before. I made them to sell at a tea party we had to raise funds for my daughters mission trip to England.

The ones that were left over......I packaged some in little flower pots and tied a rick rack ribbon around the pot........................

Some I tucked into these colorful little tins.....both are for sale in

my Etsy shop. :)


Today is beautiful, hot but not too hot. I spent some time in my garden weeding and planting. I am so excited to be able to plant and water this year!! This is the first year we have had a well.

All other years gardening was even more challenging, not only were there the late and early frosts to worry about, we had our water delivered and had to pay by the load. Soooo, could not water much. This year I feel very blessed to have an abundance of water!!!!!
