Spring Rain

We had a classic Texas spring thunderstorm this afternoon- thunder, lightning, hail and a downpour for 15 minutes, followed immediately by sunny skies. This is my absolute favorite kind of weather- the drama of a thunderstorm, and the reward of crisp, cool, sunny afternoon afterward! I celebrated by making these fresh olive oil soaps:

Tinted with bright and shiny micas, these cuties are scented a fresh coconut lime verbena. Yay spring!
