Tornados and homemade laundry soap

It's Friday afternoon,I had hoped to have pictures of my rose garden by today,but mother nature had other plans for us.We have had rain for a couple of days and today We had 3 tornado warnings in our area.I spent 20 minutes in a closet in the interior of our home waiting for one to pass.My husband had a nephew and his wife killed in one last month so i take them more seriously than I use to.
Hopefully weather will cooperate and I can get back to gardening next week.
I did make homemade laundry soap this week. I got the recipe from Lea's blog"farmhouse blessing". I really like it, it smells great,cleans well,saves money and just feels good to make homemade things for my family and home.
Have a blessed weekend!

  1. So sorry about the loss to your family. Tornadoes are certainly nothing to ignore. We are still trying to figure out an affordable way to put in a good shelter.

  2. Sorry to hear of your loss. We had a tornado past just on the outskirts of our little town last year and it was mighty scary.

    I love visiting your blog. The color is so bright and cheerful.

  3. Oh, Elizabeth, I'm so sorry about the loss in your family! I had to run up to the bank and it started really coming down when I was about halfway home. I had the radio on and started praying and praising (in faith) when they said one tornado was 8 minutes away from Panacea. Our road is a booger when it rains like that, so it was slow going. I keep wisihng we could have a basement.

    Funny you made laundry soap... I was just looking at a recipe, thinking I should do that next week. 8-]

    Have a JESUS-filled day! ^i^

  5. I also am sorry for your loss. I am not in Tornado land so I am so grateful for that. Just seeing them on T.V. scares me silly. Glad you are O.K. The laundry soap you made for family is such a nice gift. See you soon Pearl

  7. Hi Elizabeth,
    I survived the unplug. I did blog about it and all it's glory! LOL.
    How scary about the tornados and your husbands loss. Very sad. At least in Florida we know when a hurricane is going to strike and pretty close to where. Tornados have always scared me.
    Big hugs to you today.
