We made progress in the yard

I had my "A" team working in the garden today. We added compost to the flower bed. Then they tilled the bed. Then we added a good covering of cardboard (using up moving boxes). Then we added the black weed blocking cloth. Now I need to buy some wood mulch to cover up the whole thing. It's a very large flower bed. In a few days we can start to move plants from the house in Leimen. It's going to be beautiful. The kids were so funny. I bought 6 large bags of compost to add to the bed (360 liters). They said it wasn't enough. I had to go get 6 more bags of compost...they wanted to do it right! They really are an "A" team! They work hard and smart. I'm so proud to have them on my side! And they are all getting an education in organic gardening. How cool is that?

Good job, "A" Team. You really do make not only your mom, but the whole family proud.

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.
