The wind


There is a strong wind blowing outside. I guess it hit Northern Germany last night. I was worried because Juergen was heading North to see his parents. His mom continues to grow weak. She sometimes sleeps for two days in a row, not eating or drinking. Juergen said he is not sure she can even see him anymore. The last time he was there she clearly recognized him, now not at all.
The boys are at a birthday party today. Jessica continues to sleep and recover from her big trauma. Sarah is pretty happy to be with me. She plays, does art, and watches Dora. Nicole visited a friend. It's pretty quite here apart from that loud wind. I feel as if I'm waiting for the change I know is about to unfold. What sort of change? I could hardly say...it's just a feeling. It's like the change of seasons. Nothing remains the same. I can feel the change...it's like the wind...it is coming.

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.

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
