Our wood stove

The kids helped me pick up the wood stove I bought on eBay. I needed their help because it's very heavy! But it’s also very nice! It will go into the greenhouse as soon as the cement foundation is dry. So maybe by next weekend our greenhouse will be heated. It snowed today. I’m not a big fan of snow. I would rather have a sunny fall day. But there you go! I don't have big plans for my birthday. I'll go to church tomorrow. Sarah assures me she has presents for me (cute)! The kids are also making me lunch. Juergen has a business trip this week. The kids have fall vacation. If the weather was good I would finish the outside plaster of the greenhouse. Instead I guess we will be playing board games, watching movies and prepping the attic for insulation that will be put in at the end of the week. I hope I can get in some extra sleep. When it's this cold and wet I don't feel like doing much at all! Maybe I'll teach Sarah to sew? That will be like the blind leading the blind. I'm not much of a seamstress. But I have allot of old jeans I thought we could make a big quilt from. A cold wet week would be a good time for that job.

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.
