forcing bulbs


We live very close to Holland. I've just stated to see forced bulbs in the stores. You can force your own spring flower bulbs. It's a great way to get some early spring time into your cold dark winter. I love spring bulbs. HERE is a good site to tell you how to force bulbs. I have been thinking about my own spiritual life. It feels like winter, and I want to force it to be spring. In the case of my spiritual life, I feel God telling me not to force things. I need to wait the season out...just wait on God. Spring will come, and with it a new energy and creativity and life. Some things just should not be forced!

In reading Leviticus yesterday you don't want to force anything. Things need time to heal to grow etc... When you force things they don't become strong. That is why rest is so important. You want to be a mighty oak not a weeping willow.
It's funny when I was younger I was impatient when it came to the garden. Now I enjoy each season in it's time. There is so much to do why jump ahead. This is a good time to look at garden catalogs and dream and plan.

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.
