My 4th of July--soapin' it up!

Soapin' and dieselin' on the 4th

Before you take a gander at these pics, let me tell you this is my attire most of the time, when I'm not teaching my freshmen and seniors at PCHS the use of the semicolon, author's tone, and sentence variety. At school I follow the dress code. At home, most of the time, my dress code has deteriorated...and my nails...but I did take a breather today and watch a blip of
The Real Housewives of New York--and my heart fluttered just for a wistful moment....the girls of New York are in a chic hotel in Morocco. It reminded me of my trip to Turks... Will I ever get there again?

I thought some of my few new followers ( I think I'm up to 2 now) might want to see the boat paddle, the glycerin (which I will eventually get around to explaining on a chemical and "molecular" level), my biodiesel and soap break activities, and our garden. Yes, I said the glycerin distillation and refining takes about 40 hours, but I do live my life in between checking the pot temps and stirring...



...heating the soap...


...new boat paddle works great since my hockey stick broke...



...processing biodiesel...



...Eddie and I take a break eating blueberries...



...using rainwater for the garden...we set up soaker hoses this evening...




...the garden needed attention...PCHS water bottles needed washing...


...I need to make some fresh salsa and give the cukes to my mother for pickles...




...my labels aren't here yet, so homemade ones...



... Chalk Sound in Turks... just four hours away from Charlotte airport... clean fingernails...
