Hey Farm! Sometimes you just get a stretch of life like that don't you. Pretty much the same here, although I'm glad I'm a bit behind on the garden this year because we got a hard frost this morning.
My little local feedstore has a home printed sign saying they can't sell red devil lye that folks use to make soap because it has been banned due to its "potential" to be used in meth labs. I don't know if it was just that brand or if it is just our local nincompoop government....
