July 7th, 2006

Beautiful day here, 70 degrees, sunny, and low humidity.  Son got up and flew outside as usual, is helping milk goats.  Trip to Michigan went well, didn’t use anything to prevent fly bites, son got bit a dozen times, didn’t get sick.  Perhaps I gave him some immunities breastfeeding him as a baby?  Whole family loved visiting Lake Superior…son played at water’s edge entire time, I collected rocks to bring home, baby toddled through sand.  Gave all sisters jars of my body oil and body scrub.  Heard a bird song every morning at one sister’s house…don’t know what kind of bird it was, but it had the most beautiful song i’ve ever heard.  Sister got me sampler pack of several essential oils for my birthday. Yay! Came home to find ants gone.  Yay!

Convinced son to turn loose turtle he captured a few days ago.  Felt so sorry for it.  Explained turtle was used to being free, doing what it wanted…can’t take a 4 or 5 year turtle and put it in a cage and expect it to be happy! Also released ducks (nearly full grown now) at local canal, where lots of other ducks live.  They seemed very happy, immediately went for a swim.  Let son throw bread out to all of them.

Made a discovery about my body oil: Sister gave me bottle of her lotion to try…I did…noticed when I scratched, fingernails got dirty.  Doesn’t do that when I use my body oil.  Realized that the lotion can’t be totally absorbed by skin, so lots just sit on top of skin, collecting dust and dirt.  Body oil is all natural (you could drink it!) so it is completely absorbed, thus nothing left on top of skin to collect dirt.  Yet another good thing about my invention.
