Good garden news

We are leaning towards staying in our house at least until summer 2011. I'm really fine with that, I just want a bigger garden. I have an old friend that lives right around the corner from a house I may want to buy (if they lower the price). My friend is very busy (too busy to do much with her large garden). I asked her if I could put raised beds in her yard for a large vegetable garden. I would do most of the work and we could share the fruit. She said yes!!! So I will be looking at the yard next week during the kids vacation. Perhaps we will build the raised beds and plant the garden during the Easter vacation. In the mean time, I washed all my extra starter pots. I cleaned up my green house. I am sorting seeds. When the new green house heater arrives in the mail I will plant seeds. I'm going to try to start most of my plants from seeds. That's to save money. I could have rented a garden, but I would rather invest in a friends yard. I will get fresh fruits and vegetables for my family- and her family. And the raised beds will improve her yard forever. If I rented a garden it would cost me more money, and the investment blesses the next renter. I hope to have my own big garden one day.

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.
