Although this blog was only born in March 2007, we've already decided to upgrade a bit and make some changes. Some are more subtle than others but we hope you enjoy the new layout. I definitely had some fun making it 🙂
Fabulous Farmhouse Searches
If you read our Self-Reliant Yuppies blog, you probably noticed that we are going to be starting a new weekly feature (at least I'll be trying lol) featuring the 5 top searches from the past week. We don't really get too many strange ones but I always do find them...
One million little things
As almost anyone who has ever owned a house (old or new) can tell you, it seems that there is a never ending list of things to do...and we are definitely no different. But it seems that each To Do List we compose ends up with a To Do List of its own. It's a never...
The greenhouse is FINALLY finished
Ok, so there are still a few small tasks to complete like building potting benches and we have to construct the upper windows still and attach those...but for all intent and purposes, the greenhouse is finished. We can move things in there if we want, especially after...

The plants are back in the ground
I'm going to try to catch up on a few LONG overdue posts so here's a start. 🙂 May 1st was a holiday here in Germany. Since S was out of town for business during the weekend, he decided to take Monday off so we would basically still have a weekend...and a very short...
When will we ever finish the garden?
We have been spending a lot of time out back, behind the barn, in our vegetable garden lately and quite frankly we are beginning to miss working on the house. This weekend we have made good progress on the greenhouse, finally finishing all of the framing. Now all we...
Building a greenhouse (part 3)
Today we where finally able to continue work on the greenhouse. And although we had some starting problems with the roof trusses not fitting we managed to completely frame out the entire greenhouse.When we had left off, we had completed the base and the two sidewalls...
More seeds planted and new arrivals
Yesterday was a pretty good day for deliveries. The new SD card for our digital camera arrived so there will once again be pictures...and our order from exoga also has arrived. I have to say I really love that place. I wish the SD card had been here already when the...
