In the garden

We moved the pile of wood away from the back corner of our garden. We plan to build 3 compost piles. Today we want to move our dirt, and compost from Leimen to Bad Schönborn. I'm not sure if anyone else would be crazy enough to move piles of dirt? But I've been working on improving that dirt for a few years. I grew worms just to help the process. It's very good dirt and I need that in my big garden. Why pay for it when you already have it? Besides, I'm not sure the people who will one day buy our house want large piles of compost in the side yard! The small yard in Leimen will look better without the dirt! So the plan is to build 3 compost piles in the back corner of our yard. Move the dirt and compost from Leimen. Move the plants and garden tools. And build a few raised beds in our yard. We have good weather. Let's see what we can get done!

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.
