This is a old photo but so worth sharing.. My wonderful Dezzy girl turned 4 this week and this is her first baby photo.. listening to my heartbeat and stealing my heart at the time.

The first of the bees were out, so glad I forced some of the cherry branches into early bloom for Easter, the pussy willows are all out now in full yellow pollen, so the first of the bees do have food in the yard!

Last but not least I have been busy starting to make my soaps.. Sheep milk soap in one of my favorite fancy bar molds 🙂 Man its tricky to get a clean cream soap.. my best trick is almost freeze the milk to start, go slow and mix at a lower temp between the lye and the oils to try and keep it as creamy/off white as you can get.  If you get even a touch to high in your temps, you will end up with a soft brown color to your soap.. nothing wrong with the soap at all, it works just as well.
