Well if you guessed I’ve been to some far off exotic land laying in the sun – you are wrong!
I got this delivery the other day and that means only one thing 
It means that it’s soap making time! These two boxes hold 10 gallons of oil. Now maybe that’s not a common thing on your porch, but for me? Yea, it’s becoming more and more common.
So I cut up a couple of batches to dry and then the one thing that I’ve been working on is to try to come up with a patchouli fragranced soap that doesn’t smell too powerful but still has a nice enough fragrance. I am working on this for a potential customer that might want to use them for their wedding. With that in mind, I’ve also been trying out different sizes of bars for her. I guess we’ll see what she thinks, but I think it would be pretty cool to supply her with the soap for the wedding so I hope it will work for her.
Then I also spent some time behind the steering wheel of the truck to pick up my display at the barn where the vendor show was last week. The farm was a little easier to find this time, but it’s just crazy how the landscape changes just within 60 miles or so.
By our farm the land is really flat and the roads go North to South and East to West.If you are traveling East of us and about 60 miles you’d be lucky to find these types of roads. There doesn’t seem to be a pattern to their roads other than they are curvy and really hilly. These roads would be great if you would have an older car and a couple of your friends with you for the day – just saying …
I stopped on my way back and wanted to take a picture of the landscape. In the summer it’s so nice and green, but with the harvest now almost completed, the fields are anything but pretty. 
I had to laugh because when I decided to stop, I had to drive up the way a little more because there was a dead fox on the side of the road and I didn’t want anyone to think that I was stopping to pick it up or anything. Now seriously I don’t know why I was so worried about that because why would I do that? But I pulled up way away from it and finally got the picture. But to be totally honest, I really wanted to go back and check out that fox!
Now to bring my soap and display home and unload it into the house. I’m really digging this display case for this type of show. It’s something that I can lug around by myself and the person who put on the show said that it worked well.
