The scaffolding came down today. The house looks very nice. I am also happy to look out of my windows and not see a painter looking back at me. Actually, one painter is still here working on the balcony. I think he will also be finished today. Then the doors and windows can be opened up, and the sun can shine in! Jessica has a very bad cold. I feel like I'm playing catch up from last week. I have major cleaning and laundry to do. I also have tones of work to do in my garden, and Petra's garden. Everything has to be cleaned up before winter. I did make some jelly this weekend from fruit my friend Bridgette brought over. I'm anxious to finish that up so I can put the canner away.







Do you like the blue? It goes with the tile on our front wall, and the painting on our garage door. I would love a stainedglass window on the bathroom window above the front door. My be a giant sun? And I want a new front door. Something old ...an old wooden door!

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.
