Practical Wisdom

I find that my new neighbors are full of everyday wisdom.

Recently I marveled at the speed my husband went through a bar of Zest. Zoop! Gone in a week. I thought it was because the shower head keeps dripping onto the shower organizer that hangs below. So we rearranged, but even though trickle was dodged the soap still vanished in no time.

I was told by several folks that bar soap should be stored in the open air. This promotes drying and hardening which extends the shower life of your soap.

So unwrap those bars, and save the soap!

Springtime, the only pretty ring-time...

Happy Second Day of Spring!

We've had wonderful spring weather this past week, warm enough to hang clothes on the line, grill, and play in the garden.

I've been able to see the daylilys grow a little each day.

Basil, cilantro, and lemon balm seedlings are growing well under the lights indoors.

And Scott gave me a lesson in driving standard on our way home Cambridge this weekend. It won't be long until I'm driving stick like a pro.
