A good day for soup



It's a cold and over cast day.  How I wish we had some sunshine!  But it is a good day for soup.  And I have pumpkins.  I bake my pumpkin first, then remove the seeds.  And then I use my hand blender, and add all sorts of good stuff to bring out the flavor.  For me that was water, bullion, butter, and sour cream, onion, garlic, salt, pepper and Italian spices.  You could add all sorts of other stuff.  Coconut, pineapple and curry is also good.  Whatever you like.  And I had left over chicken and rice.  It was wonderful.  I'm sorry summer seems like it has passed us by.  But I love the fall.  I love the colors and flavors. I kept waiting for summer to show up. And now we need to look at planting spring flower bulbs.  If I want summer, I'll have to get on an airplane.  I better just accept it is now fall! I'm going to make apple juice, light good smelling candles, and pull my sweaters from my closet. It feels like my life…gone by so fast.

Delish! Wow, so much of my summer was consumed by improving our house and garden. The big day is this Saturday. But, there were some time in the mix that we enjoyed and amazing NW Summer too. But, like you... I love the Fall.

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.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
