I hope everybody had a beautiful Christmas along with your households. We had a lightning storm the night time earlier than Christmas Eve and our web modem and again up battery had been cooked when lightning hit near the home so I did not get an opportunity to want everybody a Blissful Christmas.
A very good pal of mine had painted a stunning Christmas card that I needed to function in a Christmas submit however, by the point we obtained a brand new modem, we had been already into 2024 so I used to be a bit late with my greetings.
By no means thoughts, whereas the web was off I experimented once more with rebatching cleaning soap as I wasn’t pleased with the final lot of rebatching I did once I added activated charcoal to the cleaning soap so puzzled if I may rebatch the gray cleaning soap and add some pink mica powder. Effectively, the mica would not combine in so I now doubt which you could rebatch cleaning soap twice efficiently. You by no means know until you strive although and it nonetheless foams up properly like ‘regular’ cleaning soap although it seems to be dreadful.
The current rain has been good for the backyard though I used to be nervous throughout storms in case we had hail or any injury completed to our home however fortunately all was effectively. The Day Lillies have practically completed flowering….
… and we’ve got had fairly a number of bunches of Hydrangeas picked for the home. We did not appear to get as many hydrangea flowers as final 12 months however we had much more rain then and these crops actually love the water. Do not you’re keen on my blue container I picked up at an Op Store?
The pansies have been pulled out and changed by petunias that are doing okay. We purchased fairly a number of double petunias that are extra beautiful than the only ones.
A pal has been very beneficiant along with her lillies and now I’ve purple and yellow ones plus a Eucharis Lily and a Blood Lily which hasn’t flowered as but. You possibly can by no means have too many crops are you able to?
I used to be optimistic I had planted some purple hollyhock seeds and positive sufficient one appeared lately simply after the others had completed flowering. Should you develop hollyhocks you should definitely save the seeds for subsequent 12 months. They’re a stunning plant.
Anyway, that may be a little bit of an replace. I hope 2024 seems effectively for you however, as everyone knows, life is predictably unpredictable and we address points as they arrive alongside. I do not fear anymore like I did once I was youthful as fear by no means will get us anyplace and would not change the circumstances anyway. We do be taught loads as we grow old and wiser do not we?
Have an amazing weekend everybody.
