and how we made the Christmas Card....

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Brunners

Jingle Bells

This is my favorite video for Christmas...

Change is as Good as a Rest

Not that I have any Martha Stewart instinct in me, but it was necessary to change the house around because of internet conflicts. We are now with Rogers Internet which we are so happy to have. After the last 3 year fiascal with Xplornet, it is much cheaper and much much faster. Only problem was that the hub / antenna worked much better on the kitchen side of the house. So this is what had to happen:

Office is now the dining room (I guess it was meant to be)

Kitchen needs more stuff now! I dug out the old breakfast table but will put an island in the kitchen and a comfy chair in the far corner to sit in front of the wood stove.

and it's fun to hide back here...from what I am not sure :)

Finished Project

The Self Feeding Sheep Feeder 

The Start

building....

The finished Feeder. You chop the feed into the top door and then you have happy sheep. You can haul it around on the skids with a chain so areas don't get too muddy etc. Holds about a tonne of hay.
