Hey guys and Gals! 🙋🏻‍♀️
Sorry I haven't posted much these past two weeks.

I've had some health things going on (life of someone living with multiple chronic illnesses) and I've been in recovery mode.
I'm still here and still reading everyone's comments.
Hope to be back to my regular self with new content next week! 🙏🏻
Hope everyone is doing well!
📣 PSA: if you ever need a reclast infusion for osteoporosis, plan to take off the next two to three days! Seriously, the doctor's really didn't warn people of the very likely side effects🤦🏻‍♀️
Pic of infusion time followed by a very well deserved Starbucks drink!

Well, I knew it was going to be rough for our micro Orchard fruit production this year, but unfortunately it's much worse then I knew.

Apparently most of the fruit tree orchards/farms in the mid Atlantic/NJ/Delaware area took a massive hit with several late freezes.

Our local orchard, Shaw Orchards was drastically effected. They *MAY* harvest gala apples this fall, but that will be it. We get so many of our fruits from them and they're such wonderful people.

Please send up a prayer for all our farmers. This season will be a tough one for them! 🙏🏻😢

One of several Robin nests that have taken up residence on our property.

Yes, that's inside a car engine 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Ever wonder just HOW the soapmaking process begins?

Manny of my soaps are tallow based, so that requires me to render down beef kidney suet into tallow.

That gives me clean tallow to make soaps and other skincare products.
