Finding the good
I can barely keep up with what day of the week it is — and today I realized it is JUNE. The year is half gone, and it’s been fairly shitty so far. Today I’m having one of those “I … Continue reading

Things are just weird
The Mr. and I are fortunate in that we have remained at our jobs through the pandemic that sent so many people to unemployment websites. My office has had to respond to a decrease in business, but we will survive … Continue reading

Apparently I pulled some muscles in my lower back over the weekend – most likely from loading and unloading the truck for the street fair, lifting totes of soap. And the tent. And the tables. Gah, back pain makes a body feel old! I’ve … Continue reading
Doing the happy rain dance
Rain! I’m so glad it’s raining. Not only for the plants, lake levels, air quality, and fires – but also because it means I can make soap again. The rain barrels have been empty for months. Saturday’s soaps were Dragon’s … Continue reading
