Timber: Look what I found!
Me: Ew.
Timber: Can I keep it? Huh? Can I? Pretty please?
Me: Only if you carry it home yourself. And it has to stay outside.
Timber: Deal!
Mando: I never get anything fun.

Dish soap is looking good. Apparently my careful measuring to get uniform bars did not translate into careful cutting. Good thing it doesn’t matter one iota. The soap will still clean the dishes. Now the soap will cure for a month so it’s nice and hard.

Better than going to a fancy restaurant except we have to do the dishes. Alaskan salmon from Ponderosa Pines Apothecary, micro greens salad from Outlaw Greens and chanterelle mushrooms in the risotto from Roots Project Co-op. There are so many amazing food connections in north Idaho!

A big batch of dish soap bars done! I hadn’t realized when I started that it was a double recipe compared to what I’ve previously made. Guess I’ll have plenty. Will cut individual bars in a few days.

Day 12 bedroom remodel.
Captain’s bed painted and assembled! Wow, that was a lot of work. Directions with no words, missing number stickers on the pieces, 4-5 separate boxes of parts. But overall well designed.

What were you doing 6 years ago this month when the world suddenly got weird(er)? We just kept being our own kind of weird.

Hmm, 94°F in the greenhouse on a 50°F day? Time to get those roof vents working. 🥵

Organizing the seeds. Raise your hand if you have saved seeds but forgot to label them in a timely manner and have now forgotten what they are. Me neither. 🤨

Every type of weather is good for something. This rainy early spring day is perfect for beginning to fill our rainwater tanks for the summertime garden.
