EntertainingThe Lanternfest 2009 – Saturday was full of food, friends & FUN
The Lantern Festival in Buedesheim is an event we look forward to every year - as do our friends. Most of the 5 friends visiting us on Saturday have been at the fest for the last 3 years with us. Once they'd seen it for the first time, they were as hooked as we were....
DIYBuilding a pump house for our Gardena system
When we bought our farm house almost 3 years ago (I really can't believe it's been that long already) one of the great things about it was a fully functioning water system run off our own underground well. This area is full of underground springs and one of Germany's...
DIYBuilding a harvest kitchen – Part 1
We have a little covered patio area outside out kitchen door which we've been throwing around ideas about for a while. We finally came to the conclusion that the best thing to have in there would be a harvest and canning kitchen where we can prepare everything for...
Homesteading LifeA word of warning about rain collection – algae in the IBC
I mentioned briefly that we had all our water tanks set up now. When we added a 1000 liter IBC tank to our courtyard, it replaced a 120 liter rain barrel. So we moved the small rain barrel over by the guest house where another rain barrel was already sitting. Then...

GardenNeem oil – a gardener’s best friend
Although our winter was insanely cold, we didn't have a very hard freeze when it finally started to warm up here. Thus the bugs are out in force because they didn't get killed off by the cold wave. I've often read about using neem oil on plants to combat aphids,...
GardenDecorating with your bush & shrub trimmings
Spring has sprung in Germany and the weather this week has simply been GLORIOUS! We've had highs in the 60's and 70's...and this weekend it's supposed to be up to 80F. Hard to imagine that spring is truly here after our -18C winter - but hopefully this lovely start to...
Expat LifeTrees, tripods and other random stuff
I've been in a cleaning frenzy today. We're trying out a new system here where I use Monday as my "get the house back in order after the bomb went off weekend is over." We're usually so busy focusing on getting big projects done that the house is in disarray and there...
