Summer Soap?

Yea, I know the "summer" part of summer is almost over. School starts next week. But "Summer" isn't really over until Sept. 20 or so. So, I've been thinking about making a "summer" soap. A break with my tradition of only making soap every 12 months, or so. But, I feel the need. The need for ....... soap making?

Look. I've done a great deal of the summer stuff, already. I've been out of state. I've been skinny dipping. I've built an outdoor shower. Used it. I've mowed the lawn at least once. I've yo-yo-ed it a couple of times. I've been biking riding. Hiking. Shipped the kids off to the parents for a week. Slept late. Watched movies. Stared at the stars--(is that "starsed?"). Fixed the roof, or at least part of it.

But, now, I feel like cooking. Of the stunt variety. It's too hot to brew brew. Too early to fry turkeys. I'm too busy to smoke a brisket (I mean, to do that right takes a REALLY long time). So, that pretty much leaves me with making soap. A summer, soap, in fact.

Breaking with tradition (of making my soaps all at the last minute before the Cherrywood Art Fair) will even allow me the flexibility to experiment without regard to time constraints. Risk failure. Change techniques. Use new scents. Make no sense. Whatever.

So what is the perfect summer, or Summer, scent for central Texas? It can't be floral. Cut grass maybe? Crepe myrtle? Huisache? Remember, a good summer scent has to go with yard work, skinny dipping, sun tan lotion, dry evenings and, quite possibly, stale beer. Suggestions?
