I have never seen the Northern Lights before! Amazing 💚
Love this! My dream!
Well,on a lighter note.... What color is the stain? I'll be staining and painting next yr. The color you choose is very EYE appealing
I'm sticking with the same color as the house, it's called Redwood I think ;) and thank you! Have a great night
We have drug houses next door to me also. This is horrible. I hope the kids are ok.
Me too, thank you!
You have an interesting life to follow! Thanks for sharing Kate! You are amazing!
Hey Rico, thank you hope you are well! Maybe too interesting some days lol it's making me anxious!
You’re a good lady Katie😊
thank you for making this video. i really appreciate your efforts to hepl these poor children. i must add though, for your own security, you shouldn't disclose your own location as precisely as this. i know you're not that big of a youtuber, but i've seen people geolocate top secret locations in ukraine from less, for example just the reflection of the ground in the lens of a camera. of course i don't think you have to fear anything for that, but still, i want you to be safe. it just takes one psychopath at the wrong place at the wrong time to abuse this information you are publishing.
for interwviews at high value military targets such as drone factories they even have to hide the windows (the window itself, not just what you can see through it) or otherwise the enemy could disclose the location of the building.
@@kenthendl I appreciate this and I do think about it. I never show my civic number or my truck's license plate etc. I am careful about those things. I have considered that even showing the outside of my house may be a bit too much.... it can certainly be hard to know how careful one has to be on social media. I appreciate your concern, thank you.
Sometimes it takes awhile in these situations, but I've noticed that "the trash generally takes itself out". These explosions can also happen when people are making hash oil. I agree with you about the adults, and I am praying right now that those kids are in a safe place and that they are allowed to finally be the beautiful human beings that they are meant to be.
Compost the predators...😅 Seriously though ...haha
They compost the bush ;)
Other homesteaders have talked about a gut bucket hung up off the ground. A 5-gallon bucket w/holes drilled in the bottom & along the bottom sides. In goes the waste, lid on, in go the flies, larvae falls through & feeds the chickens.
@@perspectiveiseverything1694 Sounds like a great idea to feed the birds but also sounds stinky and gross!
Hey Kate. Don't worry to much about a build. If he has a decent builder depending on the size of the house, it should only take 6 months to a year tops. The part that takes up the most time is the permits!!!!
It's a small house. He said he would probably take 2 years, maybe it's $$$ too? He seems like a nice fellow. Fingers crossed for peace!
@@katiekateshomestead maybe he's doing it himself...then it might take longer. Building supplies are so expensive...we lucked out building ours. Covid hit after we purchased our materials for the build. Hopefully all will be well....Sounds like a pretty decent guy if he took the time to come over and say hello....good luck.
I hear your concerns. I have neighbors from hell ...bought my home 50 years ago. All the older folk passed on....their homes became rentals....and slum lords own one of them. I tried to speak to the landlord so i can put up a fence, but he left before i could catch him.i live in town. I pray your new neighbor is a good one. Peace.
O geez, ya like I said, it could be worse. I'm sorry you had to deal with that, I would be so upset.
Looks good Kate!! I love the pink touches around your place!!!
Thank you! Spray paint was on sale recently and I cleaned them out of Barbie Pink lol
Last chance for lipstick is such a fun way to describe this, I hope the added color makes your winter all the more cheerful!
Looks great and I’m glad our election is over to.
Thank you and yes! Whew!
I absolutely LOVE IT! I'm thrilled that our election is over peacefully. Be safe and stay kind
Thank you and me too me too! Have a wonderful night
That's alot of work Kate and it looks great. 👍
Thank you! It really needed freshening up. It has been a good project, I love exterior painting! It is very easy and not critical unless it's a door or something lol Have a great night Evelyn!
I would suggest getting a cat or two, and put up fake owls and hawks on poles around your property. Also if you have a friend with a cat, this might sound strange but cat litter used that has it'd urine in it, place the litter in a sock, and hang it around the outside of the coup, and in growing season in your garden it helps stop mice, n small critters because they smell the cat urine. One thing I have learned in critter control, plant mint plants around the outside of your house and coup and garden, moles,, groundhogs mice critters that dig under the ground will refuse to dig under the mint once it is established, because it is pungent, strong, most critters hate it, it messes up their nose. I had a type of prairie dog and rats years back when I lived in California, a friend told me about it and i planted it front and back of my place around the exterior of the house and it worked, the critters moved out, they no longer dug around my foundation, I was so surprised but so glad it worked!. I wish you the best!
Hi there and thank you! Mint is great advice and I will do that next year. Excellent suggestion! Stay safe and well
I'm also trying to restock our pantry for winter! Thanks for sharing your video youtube.com/@stewardofthehome?si=ZymHZOpXuu51hGJb
A well stocked pantry & great buy on the wipes. Today i woke to the news that Trump will be our President!! Good start to my day! And it will take time , but hopefully our country can see improvements in our economy
Good morning and congratulations! I have been jamming to YMCA all morning lol It's hopeful today
you are a fucccing creep.
Your pantry is well stocked. My I ask where you scored the deal on the wipes.? 👍
Yes of course. It was at Home Hardware in Ingleside and the cashier said she had more in the back.
today we will find out if america will have either idiocracy or another civil war.
Trump 2024
If I could vote, that would also be my choice. Good luck tomorrow, pray for peace
@@katiekateshomestead ty. We can't take 4 more years of open borders and bad economy.
Kamala Harris the first Woman in Command. Vote blue for our daughters.
Thank you!
He's gone. I am so sad. I hate taking him from his home. I hope all of my birds from now on live to their end on my property. The only comfort I have is that he had a good life here.
Hi Katie It's always hard to get rid of the animals we love. Even when it's to freezer camp. Having someone to share the hardships which helps so much!
I hate doing it as well but it's a necessary step. I always feel terrible. I had to put my alpine goat down in May. She was badly injured and the vet couldn't come out so I had to. Now that I've done that, the roosters don't seem AS bad. We should feel yucky about it. If we didn't, there would be something wrong with us. Its easier if you don't name them.
Never fill bad about rehoming or culling a mean Rooster. I have a mixed flock. Afew of these and oooo alot of those lol. I definitely have more birds then a small homestead needs. But,i enjoy them. On a different note. Ive had 2 healthy litters of rabbits born this past week. Im very excited. This was a new project this year. So,far its doing well. Be safe and stay kind
Wow congratulations on the rabbits! That sounds really exciting. How many did you get? I love new challenges and experiences, good for you! Keep me posted!
@katiekateshomestead I have 2 small colonies. 1 buck and 2 does per run. I built the colonies with wire and pallets. I enjoy that the bunny's have a Great Healthy life. Their very happy with lots of space to roam. I fill my project is going well. There have been afew bumps along the way. But that makes life interesting.
@@milasmalley8143 It sure does! Are you raising them for meat or are they just pets?
Raising for meat
I’m with you, Katie! Unrest in the coop is stressful for all! You have to do what’s best for your flock and you :-)
Decisions are hard sometimes,but I think you made the right one. You have to keep "peace" in the family. 🐓 Your cats are beautiful !😺
First pic I see is of a trapped animal having to live in dirt enclosure. Not a piece of greenery anywhere. If this is what you use for peace I feel sorry for the poor animal. Sad.
@@jedmaple they have a half acre pasture in addition to this enclosure. See that open door on the left? Ya that goes to a pasture, egghead. You'd know that if you bothered to take the time to watch the video before ignorantly criticizing from behind your screen. Keep your judgments to yourself because you sound sad. Feel sorry for yourself instead, and work on that, it'll be more constructive I suspect.
@@katiekateshomestead Looks dead like your brain and soul
Fires are so scary. Glad you caught this. We have a lot of wildfires up here. So on the rare occasion when someone barbeques up here, I spend a fair amount of time just double checking my nose to make absolutely sure it's just a barbeque. Your hair looks great - good job on the cut.
Hey thank you so much! We certainly have to stay vigilant to stay safe. Have a wonderful night!
Lmao rusty knows his name!! And the cat is like wtf is going on here 😂
And how wild that his name could make him so excited like that!! ❤❤❤❤
I know right? I feel like I should have figured this out by now lol
Awwww you have animals and my fave dog, a german shepherd! Definitely will be watching. Just subscribed ..always wanted to homestead ..and I could see the work involved back then. My husband definitely didn't want that either. ..he didn't want to work for anything back then. ..but I know now that it probably isn't doable with kids unless they're older and helping. ..so maybe in my distant future or some type of hybrid version of homesteading. ... We'll see ..until then, ill watch you ❤
Hey thank you. I also thought there were many barriers to getting here. I thought I would need a partner and that my kids would be out of the house. In the end I said F it and just did it. It is always amazing how things can work out when you take the leap. You already have that RV, all you need is an acre of land. I'm rooting for you!
"Rusty" had an awesome reaction! Hope your theory is proven correct 🤔
you can tell the owner was an idiot, who names their dog chase
Well,ill be! Rusty says "Finally" you foynd meeeeee.lol loved this be safe and stay kind
Oh thank you, isn't he sweet to hear his old name again <3 Be well and have a wonderful day!
Just leave the normal/real time alone....
I hate it! The animals have no idea nor do they care! Lol.
Good point!
Cute little things
An old Lakota warrior once told me about dst, "Only you white folks would cut the top off a blanket, sew it on at the bottom and think they got more blanket .... every six months."
LOL that is a great quote.
Beautiful
Everything is so expensive. Foodland is nuts for costs...
Hey Kate. I've recently blanched and frozen home cut fries from potatoes I bought at Walmart on sale for $1.79 for 10lb bag. Have you tried making and freezing your own? I raised 3 boys...they eat!!!
Hey there! Great minds think alike! I just bought 10lbs of potatoes yesterday for $1.88. I have had success making hash browns but for some reason my blanched fries never bake well after being frozen. Do you cook them in oil? Any tips? Thank you!
@@katiekateshomestead I cook them in the oven. I use my little on the counter oven which seems to work better than my big oven. I toss the fries in some oil before I cook them and I cook them at 365. They turn out pretty good. Not like a deep fried French fry of course..but I don't deep fry or air fry anything. I'm an oven girl.
@@lakesidehomesteadwithdavea5757 This is helpful thank you! I was planning to do some work in the kitchen today so maybe I will try them again! Thank you, have a wonderful day. It's 20 freaking degrees here!
@ yes same here! It was hot yesterday! I'm over it. It's October 31 ! There is supposed to be a crisp chill in the air. Good luck with the potatoes.
Do you get snow where you are? Asking from Australia
Oh yes! Lots of snow!
I recently stocked up on all my bread making supplies. All the fixings for sweets this winter. Living in Northern Wisconsin it's important to have a stock supply of food and paper goods. Be safe and stay kind
That's a good haul Kate ! There is just two of us plus the cat and prices are still pretty high.
It's ridiculous! I am stocked up so I can shop the sales other than fresh at Foodland. It's becoming increasingly noticeable. You can't even buy a frozen pizza for $4 anymore, it's $9. Unreal.
New subscriber ❤
Thank you! Welcome to the channel!
I get it. Enjoy things that make you happy in the moment.....I picked up a bunch of sticks and dead foliage on our property to spray paint white for Christmas...then it will be done. It's not forever but for now it looks pretty and makes me happy.
Lovely! What a great sentiment. It celebrates that nothing is forever and to find joy in the now of every day. Philosophy for a good life. Also, spray paint is one of my favourite things lol
Nice idea!!
