New batch of egg yolk soap
This is some of a recent batch of egg yolk soap curing. No coloring is used in the soap, the color is from the egg yolks. The ingredients are all natural, saponified olive, coconut and palm oils, egg yolks and tea. This makes for a soothing, sudsy and cleansing bar.

New barn roof & unhappy Shetlands
Practically no snow left and it is close to 50 today. The barn roof is finally being replaced! No more buckets in the hay loft. It amazes me that this job will be completed tomorrow, if not too many roofing boards need replacing. The sheep are not too happy with the loud music and hammering. Next picture you see of them they will be shorn and frisky.
