new beds in the garden

Juergen was thinking of having a bath tub built in our bathroom. I love baths but we don't actually have a tub. But if we built a tub, we would also replace the bathroom tile. And it would cost at least 2000 Euro. Most likely more...much more. And I don't feel comfortable with the costs. I want to have the house painted next year, and we have Juergen's 55th birthday party, and our 25th wedding anniversary, and our kids really want to travel to Thailand again (and so do I). So I said we better wait on the new bathroom. Instead I asked Juergen to build me some more raised garden beds from shipping pallets. And he did. They look awesome! I'll post pictures when the soil is delivered. So I got shipping pallets and dirt for my birthday gift...and a day of help in the garden. And I'm very happy with that! My birthday is on Monday and I'm going to be 52 believe it or not. I forget my age. I was thinking I was going to be 53. I even wrote 53 on my birthday party invitations, and had to change it to 52. I really should remember stuff like that!

You are a passionate gardener. I get the annual gift of compost every year.
Happy birthday early.

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.
