6 more weeks of winter




So if the groundhog is correct we will have 6 more weeks of winter. This does not surprise me. We have had a cold and white winter. I don't think we have had this much snow since we moved to Germany. And it's suppose to snow more tonight. I'm spending allot of time inside. I have a cold. I feel a little trapped. I did buy all kinds of seeds to plant in my tiny garden. I also ordered the wicks for our greenhouse gas heater. Maybe I'll start some seeds in the greenhouse next week? I had hoped to be planning a garden in a new house with a big yard. These things take time. I just don't know if we will ever find another house, or that's even God's clear will for us. I keep looking and keep praying. But I plan to plant flowers and vegetables in my small garden. You need to live where you are...and I are here (am here). I will keep making the most of what I have. That is the right thing to do!

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.

The Opel Agilia

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
