Dehydrators are a marvel

I've been really enjoying my part-time job helping a lady who makes soap, lotions, candles and such. We were sorting bins of dried "floof" (assorted plant parts, ribbons and things) that she embeds in candles and she paused to go stir little piles of rose petals drying in her kitchen on paper towels. She said she was nearly out and needed more rose petals soon for lavender-rose soap so she had to remember to stir the piles often.

Hmm, I thought, I have a dehydrator at home... So yesterday I loaded it up with multiple trays of rose petals, columbine, wild rose, iris, canterbury bells - essentially anything I could find in the yard with color. Beautiful! And they dry so fast! Today I loaded it up again with a big stack of rose petal trays and my whole house smells like warm roses. I wish I could share the scent with you all if DWth just had a scratch-and-sniff feature.
