Is it really Spring?

My spring bulbs are pushing out of the ground. I even saw one tree covered in flowers today. I need to get out into the garden and do some cleanup work. But the wind is still blowing pretty cold air. Sometimes it looks like it would snow again. It may really be Spring in some parts of the world but I'm not sure I trust it!
I got a call from the real estate broker, He wants us to look at the Bad Schönborn house again on Tuesday next week. I guess he will be showing it to someone else then. Maybe he thinks our seeing it with someone else will push us to decide...or push the person looking? We need an architect to give us an idea of the cost of adding on to the house. It is way too small for us as it is. I like the place allot but I'm not ready to say yes. Some times God just places thoughts in my head. One thought I've been thinking about is "He had it in mind before I was made". I know that God knows the whole story...and where I live is already known to God. I will not miss it! In the right time it will be made clear. So if this is our house, we have time to really decide. And if someone else buys it first...well I guess something else waits to be made known!

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
