First good snowfall of the year

We knew it was going to happen. It snowed in the afternoon yesterday and this morning we woke up to even more snow on the trees and roads. Now it was bound to happen right? But for some reason every year it kind of sneaks up on me. It seems like your’e just never ready for it or something. After I saw that it snowed, I realized that maybe I should have taken in the laundry that I hung up yesterday. But no big deal and a little snow won’t wreck anything anyway. I ended up bringing in my work shirts to our laundry room and I don’t know just exactly what snow really smells like, but our downstairs is smelling pretty fresh as the snow is melting off of the shirts this afternoon. DSCN9166

Update on the soap : Well there isn’t any update. I haven’t taken the soap out of the mold yet. The instructions say 24 to 48 hours, so I’ll have to do it around 9 pm tonight for my 24 hours. I am really anxious to see how this whole thing works out. After you make the soap, it has to set for 4 to 6 weeks to remove the rest of the lye from it and also to make it hard. Whew! More patience is needed!

As for the rest of the day? Well we were pretty lazy around here most of the afternoon and now I’m trying to get some ambition to get the house cleaned and work on some Christmas stuff. Only 5 more weekends until Christmas!! That’s scary isn’t it? Well, it at least looks like it’ll be a white Christmas.
