WEATHER UPDATE: NO change...hot, hot, and dry. This heat is wearing me out! Can I get a witness??? We thought that we were going to get rain today and I think south of us a few miles they did get rain. I am sure thankful it is raining somewhere close by.
I took some pictures this evening of the dry conditions here.

I love Pinterest! I find so many recipes and ideas. I should be cleaning or spinning or weaving but I find it very relaxing to look at all the beautiful ideas and yummy recipes. I made the homemade laundry detergent today. I opted to use the dry recipe. I did not want a big bucket of detergent sitting around. It was very simple .Maryjane’s Homemade Laundry Detergent Recipe
