Life here at Thistlewood Manor has really slowed down, and it's kind of nice. I am laid off from my regular part time job at an axe throwing club and all the events I would usually sell soap at have been cancelled, however online business has been brisk. I really appreciate all of you who have bought soap from me!
I am keeping busy with making more soap as well as house and yard projects. I started plants a few weeks ago and they are already a few inches tall! The beans are really going to town. I also started tomatoes, bell and hot peppers, cauliflower, broccoli, pumpkins and watermelon.

This year we bought a grow light for the first time and it has made such a difference. I have never had really good luck with seedlings, they always got so leggy and weak. This time they just shot out of the ground within days and are looking so healthy.
We are also busy with the chickens. We have 13 laying eggs now, so we average about 10 a day. There is nothing better than fresh eggs! While we are getting quite a few, we are not ready to start selling yet as there are not quite enough extra to guarantee for our customers. Currently we just give away a few dozen here and there. We recently got a big Brahma Rooster so we are hoping to hatch our own chicks soon. We also bought 11 little Black Breasted German Phoenix chicks and are hoping at least half are hens so we will get more eggs.

I have been working on some new products with all this down time and want to share the latest with you. It's not always easy to wash our hands frequently, so I put together a little travel soap box you can take with you. All you need is your own bottle of water and one of these little soaps to scrub away the germs! Check them out under the Soap tab.
