Imperia Italy

Today is Juergen’s 53rd birthday. We had a nice breakfast together. Afterwards we worked on some school work. Then Juergen took a nap and the kids watched TV. Nicole & I took a walk in Imperia. It’s a small but charming place. It was a little hard to park the car, but we figured it out. Then we walked slowly up the hill towards the big church. We shopped for fruit, vegetables and meat along the way. The vegetables are beautiful. They had these sweet flat peaches, and purple asparagus’, the flowers of the zucchini and small artichokes. It’s like art! I bought an heirloom tomatoe just for the seeds. It’s a locally grown Oxon heart tomatoe. This is actually a pretty common variety of tomatoe. But the women called it the heart of the bull. I like the Italian name better. This afternoon Juergen plans to take the kids to the beach. I’ll probably begin to pack. We leave for Tuscany in the morning, God willing. Italy is an inspiration of color and taste. I really do love it here.

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.
