I figure it's about time for an update about the gooseberry wine we are attempting to create. In case you missed our first post, you can read it here.Did I mention we won't be able to drink it for a year? Woohoo 🙂 Which is actually one of the reasons we are going to...
Is it cool enough for ya?
Our refrigerator is on the fritz. It's not really been normal since we moved in January but now with it being above 90 on some days, it's clear that the fridge is not performing like it should be. Overnight it gets down to the 60s and the fridge still doesn't keep...
Fabulous Farmhouse Searches Vol. 6
This will be a somewhat short list of searches this week but at last there are a few new ones to talk about. I tried to keep them short today because I have a lot of other stuff to get done but keep searching everyone! 😉 does egg plant grow on a vine No. Eggplants...
Regulated chimney sweeps?
I have to say that there are some things here in Germany that really perplex me. Today we had a visit from a chimney sweep who I guess is delegated to our area. Once a year they come around and check out the chimney, heater, etc. to make sure that everything is...

Inexpensive & creative garden signs
While going through old magazines, I came across this idea which I LOVE: cut pieces of thin wood boards into small pieces, write the names of the herbs, fruits and veggies they will mark, decorate them with twigs or other things if you like (as they do with the...
Something else to build
Whenever we go to visit Stefan's parents, we get to glance through the various magazines that they have bought in the last month or so. They usually have them in the living room and there are plenty of great gardening and food magazines which I can't resist looking...
