pulling weeds and doing the wash

We have about 10 loads of wash, so I'm just trying to catch up with it.  And I spent 2 hours in the garden pulling weeds.  I need another 10 hours to catch up with the weeds.  But I planted all the vegetables I brought home from Italy.  So much to do...so much to do.  But I'm very happy to be home.  It will take awhile before I can see my garden as anything but a weed patch, but I'll get there.  And I'm afraid I'm on my own.  Nicole can not afford to miss any school for the next 5 weeks.  She has allot of art to work on.  And after that she will be working at the summer camp.  So my best helper is out of the game, and I'm going to have to just deal with it a few hours at a time.  I just hope the weather improves.  I still have to wear a coat outside.  It feels more like March then June.

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.
