Five Senses Friday Revisited (Day 23)

1. A magnolia tree.
2. Our gardenia bushes.
3. Cool Texas air.
4. Pear Dishmate soap.
5. Two bars of [Chinese] Fan brand laundry soap wrapped in vintage-looking paper, from a friend - part of a fun surprise in our mailbox (a thank you note is on the way)! Does anyone know how to use it? I want to save one for decoration, but I'd like to try one for fun.
