Five eggs and six yolks

This week, my twelve year old daughter, Emma, went to the chicken coop to collect eggs for the day. When she came in she said, "well momma, we got five eggs and six yolks!" I thought for a moment and said, "huh?" When she showed me the eggs, I totally understood. We got a "double yolker" as we call it. All I can say is......POOR HEN!!!!!

Laundry soap recipe

Borax & washing soda about $3.00 a box, Fels Naptha $1.29 a bar. You will need a bar of soap each time you make it but the boxes last for many loads. I get my supplies at Kroger here.

I have been making this for about 2 or 3 years now. I got the recipe from my friend and we have tried many bar soaps, but Fels Naptha is the best.
You will need a five gallan bucket with a lid, a bar soap, a box of Arm & Hammer washing soda, a box of Borax and something to stir with.

First grate your bar of soap. I use an electric chese grater that I have had for many years.

Put on stove in a pot, cover with enough water to melt to a soupy consistancy.

After it has melted, pour in your five gallon bucket. Add 1/2 cupborax and 1 cup washing soda. Fill with warm water to about an inch below rim.

Continue to stir every 15-30 minutes for about an hour or two.

It will gel and can cause lumps if not stirred.

I use 1 cup per load. This is not a sudsy detergent. The cost is so cheap and it a great recipe.

This is what is looks like when cool and ready to use.
