April 21st
Today was very exciting, we finished putting up Grant and Christy's new hoop house! It did not take long and now I know how to put plastic on a hoop house. We first put on a sheet of a special plastic that traps in heat, the second layer was just standard plastic sheeting. It is only a matter of time before it is full of delicious organic vegetables.
John and Lissa have a lot of bird houses and this one is the coolest birdhouse I have ever seen! If I was a bird I would live here

Everyday we listen to 91.7 KAXE (an awesome local radio station in northern Minnesot) while we work in the hoop houses and everyday we look forward to the
Bill Kirchen show they are promoting. Today is the day, a night off to see some music. The show was at Davies Hall on a college campus in Grand Rapids, it was a small venue but the volume was big! Bill Kirchen is an incredible musician playing rockabilly or as he lovingly calls it dieselbilly on his telecaster guitar. We left a little early so we could stop and get something to eat, we chose a place called
Brewed Awakenings which was not only delicious but also serves local organic food! YAY! As we were walking in...so was Bill Kirchen and Jack O'Dell (the drummer). We struck up a great conversation about organic food, the separation of church and state, and finally discussed the possibility of an all girl Bill Kirchen cover band...it could happen. Bill and Jack were incredibly gracious, kind and we all had a great time getting to know them. Then they put on an awesome show, they played some old stuff, some new stuff, and an awesome cover of "Working On a Building".
