Do You Like Hardwood Flooring?



Today I'm sharing miscellaneous pictures.  This is a shot of the foyer.  I really like real hardwood flooring.  I love the feel, texture and color of wood.  It is very comfortable under foot no matter what the weather.

Product Review: FotoJet




Today I review an online photo editor.  I won't profess to know a lot about it but have been using it sporadically for a month along with my other programs that are used.
Today happens to be our anniversary so why not play around with the templates on the FotoJet site.

It's Beginning to Look Like Spring in the Chicken Pen



I do believe that is what Gaston is thinking. This was the first day I let the young Buff Orpington Hens out into the large area. He was flustered with them.  The chicken yard is full of activity today.

Little Red Hen Feeder



We have a few backyard chickens here at Hibiscus House as you probably know if you follow. We've had some of our feeders for so long they have cracked if plastic, rusted if metal.  It was frankly time to purchase new.

Dominique or Not!


"Lil Brainiac" with the Dominique?  Not a Dominique!

Sometimes what we think we have may not be what it is supposed to be at all.  Last year We ordered Dominique pullets.  Look closely to this almost year old pullet do you see the comb?  Join me today for a little word of advice.

Heavy Duty Homemade Laundry Detergent/Soap



Good Morning!
Monday is my main wash day but I've been known to wash everyday except Sunday. Do you have special laundry days in your household?
Oh my goodness you can't wash, clean, do anything on Sunday except worship and rest. My grandma wouldn't even let us touch her sewing scissors on Sunday. That one always made me scratch my head.  I guess you couldn't cut anything on Sunday. Actually since I've been sewing for umpteen years I know what she was doing. Trying to keep our kid hands from cutting paper with her sewing scissors. Then again I guess she probably thought it was sinful to sew on Sunday. I don't know. Well I just shared a few Simple Southern Traditions with you.
I am in the process of moving the cleaning solutions over here so that eventually
DollyisCooking will only have recipes and a few product reviews.
Today I share with you my recipe for making your very own Heavy Duty Laundry Detergent. Join me won't you...
