Can't believe it's June already! I had wanted to be back before now, but blogging is like exercising: the longer you abstain from doing it, the harder it is to get back to it.
So what went on in my month of May?
Well, I...
1) turned 45
2) finished my sweater

3) created a Twitter account for my
dog
4) worked on (and finished a couple) of the Pay-It-Forward giveaway gifts
5) processed 9 chickens
6) weeded, and weeded, and weeded

and last but definitely not least,
6) received gifts from
Sherrie and
Elizabeth (
and Elizabeth is having a sale this month!).
First a heady Mocha soap from
Sherrie...mmm...we're almost done using it in the kitchen (and it makes me want to have hot chocolate every time I use it)

Then, a lovely trio from
Elizabeth, who remembered that her Dreamsicle Lip Balm is my all-time favorite! I can't wait to use the Whipped Soap; it smells so cheerfully divine. And the doll is simply adorable: reminds me of those wooden, nesting Russian dolls.

And what about the rest of you? How was your May? :) I sure missed visiting your blogs (I did try to sneak in a few reads here and there).
