The Cole Homestead

So much to do and so little cool air to do it in!

There is so much I need to get done right now but it is so hot out there right now.  (94 and no breeze.)  I made some grease candles today.  I went ahead and scented them to blackberry so every time I need light I didn't smell fried food.  I also made more laundry soap today.  I have been adding a bit of tea tree oil because it smells so wonderful.  I am also starting to get a few cucumbers and the squash is growing so well.  I am still waiting on the peppers too.  We got all of the green beans in and planted the second batch.  The peas are done also.  I had a hard time getting my 4 year old to put the peas in the bucket and not her mouth.  Friday was corn day so I thought I would include a pic of her doing corn.

please

what are grease candles and how do you make them and how do you flavor them sounds good.
