Cleaner..and….

Remember the cleaner I told you about? I mixed it up and tried it today. I love it. Instead of using the lavender essential oil I used lemongrass. The boys sniffed the counter tops and loved it too. I used it for window/mirror cleaner too and though it took a bit longer to wipe it off it really looks good. I spent about $30.00 to get started but have enough essential oils to make at least 10 batches of this cleaner so I figure it’ll be about $3.50 for a huge bottle of cleaner. It is an antibacterial, deodorizer and disinfectant and so much better for us then any other cleaner I use.  I can take pictures of how it’s made if you want but it’s so easy when you follow the directions. I left it in the brown bottle and just used a Windex spray top and it screwed on just right.

Look who greeted me this morning. He was right outside my kitchen window and spent at least a good hour eating breakfast with us.

 

The my evening ended with this. We have had so much rain, another 1 1/2” today. Hopefully it’s done for a while but I won’t bet on it.

 

I don’t know if you know that I live near a section of Minnesota that had iron more open pit mines. But this past weekend Mike and Scott went and played in the pits and he took a picture of one that I haven’t visited in all the years I lived here. We do lots of camping in the pit area, we do lots of swimming and fishing also and when I was younger there wasn’t any off limit parts of the pits so we could spend days just exploring. But anyways, he’s what one looked like during the mining and after.

 

So there you have the first part of my week. It’s been busy but good. I hope all is well with you all. Take care my friends and God Bless you all!
