A blast from the past - way past really. These 2 bars of soap were made about 20 years ago. That is a guess. They were both very popular scents when I made soap under the name Prairie Soap Company when we lived in Minnesota. Why have I hung on to soap so long? Well, I haven't but I did find these bars in a drawer in my elderly parents home -- they never used the soap. 

This soap has cured a very long time and I am thinking it will last next to forever when used. I am going to find out. The bar of Norwegian Spruce has been slipped into hubby's shower and we'll see how long it takes him to use it gone!

We seeded spinach, turnips, and beets and we are hardening off broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, and celeriac. And I seeded a bucket of lettuce near the kitchen door.  And we were blessed to harvest radishes and spinach from our ...
