PAZIENZA!


nach, es scheint mir, fast monaten, hatten wir 2 tage keinen regen. 2 days of sun, or better - NO rain - made Jon very nervous, especially the delivery of the "trinciaerba e sarmenti" "Gras + Rankenschneidemaschine" the delivery guy told him not to use it before 3 full days of sun..... but 6 hours with warm radiant sun on the soil and Jon got on the tractor and in the field north of the house. this land will be our veggie garden, the potatoes are already bought, the asparagus is waiting in the dark and huge bundles of onions are ready to get planted. but .... the soil has to be turned over to get the weeds down under, for that it has to be plowed. and this kinda soil is right now perfect to make roof-tiles off, or probably nice shaped vases or huge clumps when you go through with a plow. pazienza, geduld, patience. it must be similar to the soil in iowa, the wrong time in the field and you make rocks. Karen Strohbeen said once: work in the soil when you see the farmers do. may be that is the right advice.
now you look at the tractor picture and ask yourself, this machine is red, not green,
what happened? we gave it back, the wonderful roll over thing would not go through the garage door and the tracks of the red one are 8 cm smaller - helps to keep the posts on the garage too. i was hoping this one would cost us less. but the price we got on it before, was without the IVA, the other one was included. that is how you confuse and frustrate customers. and than there is the thing with the 2 different payments, someone has to explane that to me.......
there is another story with the IVA, we thought our membership at the "coltivatori diretti" make us able to have this busyness-tax-number, but pazienza! another copy of the same paper might do it in another 2 weeks.
we just got our wonderful health-insurance card withdrawn, because we still do not have the IVA.
PAZIENZA!
