On the south side of the house, there was a room that was all windows and we called it the shed. This was the room where the laundry was done and it had a sink that was leaking for many years before we even moved into this house. There was a bunch of homemade soap there that the Hand's made from animal fat and ashes. It worked really good, but Mother didn't want to use it and it was thrown out. She used to buy some big brownish yellow bars of soap that were so strong that you thought your eyes and skin were ruined. We switched to Ivory after a while.
There was a beautiful climbing red rose on the side of the shed that was so big people used to stop by and take pictures of it. Well, it got so big from all the years it was getting fed soap from the leaking sink. I know this, because after we fixed the leak, the rose got a little smaller each year.
