We bought a new freezer trunk earlier this week and are currently completely in love with it. We went shopping yesterday to start filling it up and of course because we have houseguests coming this weekend. They won't all be staying here which takes some pressure off...
Taking the storage buildings back from the vines
We intended to start removing bird houses from the horse stalls today but ran into some problems getting the shelving off the wall. The previous owner used some massive braces to support it and we couldn't use the new angle grinder to cut it off because it made far...
What goes in this container?
Once again an empty container is sitting in our courtyard. It's actually very hard for me to not go out there and start filling it up the second it arrives...but that's not fair to Stefan who is still at work...and it's looking like it will start pouring rain at any...
Fabulous Farmhouse Searches Vol. 6
I'm a day late...I know. I wasn't really inspired by the searches when I started looking at them on Wednesday. Then I had to take Ayla to the vet because she was limping but so far things seem to be ok with her. So it's Friday again and my body feels like it's...
It’s a good thing we have a big place
We are starting to plan the first somewhat major party to be held at our home in the next year or so. We had Stefan's 10 year high school class reunion here - but that turned out to be about 10 people including us. That party did require a little bit of planning but...
Being accepted by the locals
Stefan and I were out walking the dog yesterday evening and one of the locals from town rode up on his bicycle behind us. The two of us were talking and didn't hear him come up behind us...and we were walking side-by-side with the dog taking up the rest of the small...
A brilliant idea for a woodworking workshop
There's a houseblog called Brooklyn Rowhouse that I love to read when I have the chance. Steve, the blog owner has done some amazing woodworking projects in his house. He recently posted about cleaning up his workshop after doing 9 months worth of projects and the...
More tools for our workshop
While visiting Stefan's parents in Bavaria this weekend, we drove by their local home improvement store and saw that they had an electric angle grinder on sale for €12.95. We are going to be needing one of these when we take on laying the tile wherever we end up...
More birds to love on
The surviving swallow babies got off to a great start and have been flying like kamikazes all over the courtyard, dive bombing us and Ayla every chance they have. I thought that we were out of the woods as far as bird babies goes after that...but I was wrong. I knew...
Hostages to the birds
