The last time I wrote a blog entry was in May. Wow, where and what happened to the summer, it flew by like a jet plane into the future. Well, my summer has been busy, fun, exhausting and ever changing with a different experience and happening everyday. Last weekend my crop of organic cucumbers were ready for the picking and unlike what you may think, my cucumbers not only go into a wonderful salad, but this is the time of year that I make my famous "Slice of Summer" cucumber soap. That's right three very large cucumber go into this soap recipe creating not only a wonderful scent but a wonderfully bubbley lathers that is rich in moisturizing oils great for any skin, but especially wonderful for that sun touched skin of summer.

Take care and enjoy the few remaining weeks of the summer. Before you know it "Pumpkin Spice and Peppermint" will be infused into your holiday soaps!
