Hot

It is in the 90's today and tomorrow. We aren't really use to that here. Juergen put shade cloth over the green house to cool everything down in there. If it’s 90 degrees outside, it’s 120 degrees in the green house! Otherwise all the plants would be killed from the extreme heat. Nicole has gotten rid of all the extra tomatoes (at least I think so). We have set some aside for friends who have asked for them. But I don't think we will have any left by the end of this week. I visited with a friend for breakfast. That was so nice. But when I got home Jessica was there waiting with her teacher. I guess it was just too hot in the workshop. I had forgotten to bring my cell phone. But Philip let them in the house. He was also home early because of the heat. There is no air-conditioning in Germany. Schools close early the few days a year it gets too hot. So I'll need to stay close to home tomorrow too. But it's very nice in the house. I'm going to take Philip, Thomas and Sarah shopping for new shoes. It's supposed to rain on Thursday. And it will be much cooler after that. So we just need to sweat past these few hot days.

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.
