It's cold here

The sky is clear outside. It looks really beautiful, but it's deceptive. You get outside and it's really cold. I want to do some serious yard work, but I'm afraid of getting sick again. I am also holding off with starting plants. Everything inside of me longs for warm days, but I know I need to wait some more. And I don’t really like to wait! I seem to wait for everything...it's just where I am at right now. I think of the times we traveled to an island on a Ferry boat. If you drive up to the dock, and the ship pulls away, it doesn't matter how close you are to the ship...you have to park your car and wait for the boat to return. I feel like I'm parked on the dock of "change". It doesn't matter how anxious I am to get on with it, I've got to wait for the ship to come. And so I will wait!

It snowed here today and is snowing still a freak snow storm, the weather should be better by Saturday. I have to wait to garden too. So I checked out a handful of garden DVD's from the library after visiting mom and dad yesterday. Now I can sit by the fire and watch garden video's all day. I decided I need a day off.

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.
