Just busy in the garden

I need to find my camera today. I've been busy in the garden. Nicole has actually done more then me. She seems to own the garden, and loves it too. And Juergen is very excited about his garden! He has hired someone to redo the grass. We put sand all over the grass. 2 truck loads of sand. And now the gardener comes to do the rest. He brings heavy equipment and a crew. They will give us both a grass area, and a wild flower meadow. I'm also busy trying to arrange everything for our up coming trips. Nicole and I go to London on May 25-28. We plan to be in America on May 3-12. Then we are in Italy May 17-June 1. I have someone staying in my house most of the time we are in Italy. I just need a person to feed the fish and water the green house for a few days. I ordered a freezer. I hope to fill it up so Juergen does not need to do so much shopping. And I'm building a pallet garden in San Diego for a friend. So I've been busy trying to find the building material ahead of time. I will not have the time to run after everything when I get there. I also want to build a pallet garden this weekend for myself. We want to test our ideas before we try to do it in America. Originally I wanted to build my sack garden, but I can not find the material there. So if I want people to use the idea in missions, I need to build something with material they can find (pallets). So we have the idea we are pretty sure will work, but I need to build it this weekend to be sure. It is crazy busy, but i love this weather.

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.

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom.   This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading.   I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth.   Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help.   But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen.   Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program .   That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees.     She will be able to use it for an entire year.   But I expect her to become a very good reader.   And what a great gift to give to any child!   She will have a lifetime love for books.     Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda.   And many of these women have never attended school.   So she plans to use these ideas to help these young women learn to read. http://www.ReadingKingdom.com what

Taking at look at Hotels select

I have the chance to review Hotels select.   https://www.hotelsetc.com/ This is a really interesting travel club.   You pay a fee of about 200 dollars a year to use their very extensive site.   I got this membership free.   It has many deals of mostly hotels, but also rental cars, flights, restaurants and events around the world.   I have been spending days looking at what they offer.   So far what I’ve found is amazing deals on the places many people go.   For example, hotels in Orlando are 50% less than deals you find at booking.com.   Rental cars are often 25% cheaper than Rental cars.com.   And they have a search where you can book a condo for as little as 250 dollars a week just 1 mile from Disney world.   That is 7 nights for 250 dollars for up to 4 people.   The exact location on Airbnb cost 650 dollars a week. If you travel to places like San Diego, New York City and Las Vegas this site will save you a great deal of money.   If you rent cars you will also find it wo
