A new camp

They have just built refugee camp over the bridge from our house. It will take me 5 minutes to walk there. And I am a little apprehensive about who will be in the camp. But today they had an open house. And it appears they will have both single people and families. All will be here for a few years. Most of them will come from Iraq and Syria. Real refugees of war. And they will be allowed to attend kindergarten and school. And we will be allowed to teach them and help them. That sounds odd, but they don’t really let you do stuff with the people that are only here for a few weeks and months. So maybe we can teach them to garden. We have been training for this for a while. Who will help us build a garden? And if you cannot help with the work, I need money. I will try to set it up, and next spring we will begin (God willing).

Looks like it will have to be a container garden, sooo much concrete.

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.
