There is a hive in my house!


There is a bee hive in my house! A few posts back I took a photo of my infected foot. I was stung by a bee and got a bacterial infection from the sting. My foot is much better Thank God! It really is the kind of thing that can kill a person. What I didn't write was I was stung while doing the laundry in the laundry room. I thought it was just a fluke. It wasn't! Bees have built a hive in an air vent leading from the outside of my house into my laundry room. Juergen has the challenge of sealing the vent with out killing the bees. Did you know there is a very big shortage of bees in the world. It's a big problem because bees help pollinate 1/3rd of the plants in the world. No bees no food! Last year bees built a hive in my roof and we couldn't sleep in our bedroom for 3 months because bees kept flying into the room. It was an aggressive kind of bee that would sting you at night. If I didn't love plants so much I would hate the bees. Good thing for them I love my plants!

Olivia is born

My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!

painting the garage

Rick goes home in the morning. I'm sure he will be happy to see his kids again. 3 weeks is along time to be away. The time has passed so fast. It's been really wonderful! So wonderful!!! We may stay up all night, that way he can sleep well on the flight. Hopefully his jet lag will be less this way! Anyway, here is his painting. It turned out more then good! I really love it...just like I love my brother! We will have to do this again soon!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.
