Travel continues to be icy

It’s been one of the worst winters in a very long time with all the ice and rain that we’ve been having. I mean if someone doesn’t think that the weather has changed over the past 30 years, well I would argue with them. 

When I was a kid we had so much snow piled up we literally had a one way path on some of the roads. Now we have a one way path on our roads because it’s so slippery and if you get too close to the side of the road the ice will pull you into the ditch. Just not cool! 

I wasn’t sure how the roads were going to be this morning heading out to work when I was leaving our icy farm yard. I was literally driving around 8 mph at the end of driveway just trying not to slide too much  but I made it to work on time and by the end of the day the highways were just wet. But I was glad to see the road grader drive by tonight to try to break up the ice and slush on the gravel roads so tomorrow’s drive to work won’t be quite so slippery. Well anyway I can hope.  

One of the things that I’m worried about with all the ice that we have is just so the cows don’t slip in the cow yard and get hurt. I know that if someone does fall, it’s not going to be good news for anyone! But I guess I should be more worried that they stay put in the yard. I heard tonight that they got out and was walking around in the pasture. Just a crazy winter. Everyone is messed up. 

And what have I been doing with all this lovely weather outside going on? Making soap of course. Here’s a couple of photo’s of some of the new Spring Soap line. This one is an herbal fragrance with some small beads in it for a little exfoliating. I tried out a new process design and I like how it looks. And the one below is called Grandma’s Lilacs because, well because it reminds me of my Grandma’s lilacs 🙂
