a harvest

"So I gave you a land on which you did not toil and cities you did not build; and you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant." Joshua 24:13



I was thinking of this verse when I dug some potato's from my compost pile. The plants grew from the potato peels I put in the pile. So cool! Nicole sprayed the grapes for mold. You spray them twice to keep the fruit from going bad. We had beautiful grapes last summer, but by the fall (because of all the rain) the fruit rotted on the vines. I don't like to spray anything...unless I have to. We need to wait 28 days after the spray time,and then we can eat the grapes. Really, a harvest depends on many things we do not control. It is grace!

Juergen had lunch with one of the persons that looked at our house this weekend. Unfortunately they don't want to buy it. They like it allot, but really can not afford it. So they will stay in their apartment. Sad! But we have no control over this too. I have gotten a few more inquiry's. We will continue to place our hope in God. Housing markets change, God doesn't!

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.
