she's come such a long way since I adopted her in 2012

As cuddly as a cat can be - she is so happy

bloomin' poppies

I've been neglecting my blog past few weeks!  So busy, but lots to post - like the beautiful poppies in bloom at the farm

batch of lemongrass soap

I cleaned out my freezer last week and found a container of powdered lemongrass that I had bought in Seattle about 3 years ago and never used. Too interesting to throw away, I decided to add it to a batch of home made soap, and it came out great.  I love making soap - it is strangely similar to cheesemaking, with temperature, ingredients and chemistry all playing a role in the outcome. It will cure for several weeks and hopefully everyone reading this will get a bar.  My house smells amazingly lemony and herbal!

they are free

My Mom and I set the baby bunnies free into the woods after a rest at Sue's home for wayward rabbits. They had grown and were eating whole foods (fully weaned) and off they hopped, back to where they belong.
