Small but fine
















I just got Nicole a very small digital camera to take to Mexico. She took these pictures of our small garden. The plants in the raised beds are doing so well, I bought 4 more sand boxes to plant. That's today's job.

WOW...what an amazing garden space...Leo and I went to a BBQ out in Brooklyn last night (out where they have space for garden's and such) :) It was so nice to be surrounded by more trees and grass and even the simplest of potted plants :) We now have two small potted plants in our studio (a cactus and a mini palm -both will survive without a great deal of light). I am reading a great book right now (you may enjoy) called "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A year of food life" by Barbara Kingsolver.

God Bless!

I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

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
