Anything fun or interesting?

Today I made bird suet for the woodpeckers and beeswax tealight candles. A day you can spend puttering around is the best day ever in my book. :)

I'm bleaching my roots. Such a pain, but so nice when it's done. I'm done with the bleach part, then I applied three different shades of toner, and now I have a deep-conditioning mask on. I'm never entirely sure how each touch-up is going to turn out, but I know it will look better than the black, orange, and yellow look that happens when I haven't done my roots for 6 weeks and the color has faded!
 
Just got back from a wonderful hike where we spotted a gorgeous Blue Heron. So I guess you could say we were puttering with nature and always in awe of the amazing wildlife around us. :kiss2:

I'm going to make a pie for my DH.
It's a certain kind of 'birthday' for him, 17 years sober, so he needs a treat!

That Is one tremendous feat!
Not one to be ignored or glossed over. Until one has been seriously addicted to a substance or constantly around an addict at their lowest you will never understand the fight or will they have to live and push on.

Most people start because of a tremendous pain they feel and try to self medicate. These people have pushed everyday for years to try and keep themselves here.

"Junkies" & "Drunks" who have overcame that are my heros!!

Pineapple pie!
I had a can of pineapple at Christmas time and I didn't know what to do with it. So I searched online and saw a recipe for Pineapple pie.

I did a lot of housecleaning today! So much laundry and changed the sheets. I had to work for a few hours as well but was able to do it remotely, thank goodness! Not an exciting day here either.

That homemade crust! Looks so yummy.

Mom taught me to make pie crust a long time ago.
The trick is ---use real Crisco, and don't handle it too much.
The fluted edge was real pretty before I baked it, but the crust tends to puff a little, and the fluting gets distorted!

I always wanted to make candles or soap.
Maybe one day I will try it!

Crisco is solid vegetable shortening, or vegetable fat. The white stuff in a can or tub that you add to pastry.
Similar to something called you have called Kremelta, Sunnfry?
