I don't have much to say. I fell back asleep on the couch after we awoke this morning. Mr. L usually wakes me up again with a cuppa coffee and a request for a smoothie. This morning he let me sleep, and boy did I. I woke up when he got out of the shower. He had already packed his lunch, made his tea, and made a fire in the fireplace. He also opened the coconut oil bucket so that I could make soap today. What a sweetheart of a man I have. So today I am going to just make a list of my favorite things.
