Shorelines, Summits, and Summer Skies
July has been a wild mix of storms, heat, fallen trees, baby birds, and animals showing off like they’re auditioning for their own summer series. The Fourth of July storm hit hard and took down a massive maple tree, crushed the pond fence, and left branches everywhere. The birds immediately claimed the wreckage as their new playground, and the ducks turned the fallen limbs into a daily egg hunt. Cleanup is slow, but the farm is still moving, and the animals are thriving in their own chaotic way.
The heat waves rolled in next, and the goats decided it was the perfect time to be comedians. Phineas strutted around with his mohawk, Voodoo got filthy, and the bucks turned the pasture into a full comedy show. Hugo is seventeen days post-surgery and acting like a brand-new dog. He is jumping up on me for the first time in his life and reclaiming his kingdom one confident step at a time.
The birds have kept me busy too. A little chicken suddenly went down and needed a tack room hospital box. The baby starling that snuck into the grow out pen gave me a full emotional rollercoaster. The ducklings are growing fast, the mutt chickens are taking over the fence line, and the pastures are exploding with pollinators after the rain. Even the pond turned bright blue again, which always feels like the official start of summer around here.
Through all of it, the theme has been the same: grounded, fresh, calm, and connected to the outdoors. That is exactly what inspired this month’s soaps.
This release feels like the natural extension of the season. A little shoreline, a little mountain trail, a little night sea, and a bright morning reset. If you want to make sure you never miss these seasonal batches, the Soap and Bath Bomb subscription boxes are still the easiest way to stay stocked and choose your scents.
As always, thank you for being here. I see you, I hear you, and I appreciate every one of you. If you made it this far, you're my people. And if you haven't subscribed to my YouTube channel yet, come join us. 💚
