Homesteading & My girl's Birthday

Today and yesterday the weather was glorious! Seems fall is just around the corner. Tonight the air is even a little cool.............I can't wait.
Today my baby girl turned 8 years old! Wow I can't believe Daisy is eight. Seems like yesterday when she was a little tiny thing. It took a full year to successfully potty train her! She enjoyed her birthday with a long walk, some rolling in the grass and spaghetti.
My mom, my sister and I made a first attempt at making soap.........................

Had to make sure all the temperatures were right.................


And had to be super careful with the lye.




Yesterday we picked buckets and buckets of beans and canned them; Yum they will sure taste good in a pot of soup this winter.
