Love watching the time lapse with the stars moving through the night skies. Just beautiful!
”The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And the expanse [of heaven] is declaring the work of His hands. Day after day pours forth speech, And night after night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there [spoken] words [from the stars]; Their voice is not heard. Yet their voice [in quiet evidence] has gone out through all the earth, Their words to the end of the world. In them and in the heavens He has made a tent for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; It rejoices as a strong man to run his course. The sun’s rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.“
Psalms 19:1-6 AMP
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, being able to see part of the expanse of the night sky, stars, galaxy/galaxies, n beyond!! YOWZA!!! ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤😊😊😊
Mahalo nui loa for sharing!!!
My favorite -- and the mountains with sunrise/clouds/etc.
How many times did you go back to rewatch it? 👋🏽 seven times! I’m feeling really down, you know life, and that fed my dumpy feeling, as well as helped me snap out of it. Love nature, weather and sky stuff, helps my feelings get back in step with the positivity I need.
The time lapses are magic! I love that she occasionally adds sound bites like soft conversations with the kids and the snap of the camp fire. I feel the time lapses and music choices elevate this channel so much.
I think it was in the podcast after the content creator event in Texas that they talked about not having the same approach as most of the others that were there… I hope they stay the course and that the viewership they are gaining is enough to sustain them. IMO they should be in the millions. 💕
That's one of my fav's too.
Melissa, for the record, I always notice your music choices. These soft inspiring songs you add are very pleasing. It truly pulls you into the moment, and I love that.
There's a Spotify with their music choices! It's fabulous!
Hope you feel better Jeremy and Melissa I know you are going to make sure he gets his rest. ❤
Oh yes! Love your choice of music ❤
Ditto. Especially in this one.
Same….great music 🎶 ❤
Funny seeing the horses stick their heads out to see what was happening.
For almost 15 years I've been wanting/dreaming of moving to Idaho ever since my first visit. As of 3 days ago that dream came true. And for the first time, I'm watching GSL from North Idaho.
Melissa, you are amazing. Your eye for filming and your talent for editing is so incredible and impressive. Keeping a week’s worth of filming to a 20 minute video is appreciated. There aren’t enough words to express how amazed I am for what you do week in and week out. Blessings to you and the entire family. Your channel should already be at 1M subscribers…just sayin’! 😉
❤🙏👏
Falls at any age, especially off of ladders are never fun. I feel your pain Jeremy - literally. Yesterday, (The Ides of March) I tripped and fell carrying a bowl of soup. At age 70, this could have been catastrophic, but the Good Lord activated my military training for falls and with the aid of multiple angels, guided me into a perfect prone rifle firing position (sans rifle) avoiding a computer desk, a side table, and my computer chair. A slightly skinned knee, a bruised ego, a clean-up on aisle 7, and a sore side in the morning were the results. You try your best to avoid these things, but all it takes is a moment of inattentiveness, and BINGO, down you go. I'm glad that you're okay.
Sweet sweet Kenji. He loves his family so much. Bless his heart. I'm sure that hot tube felt awesome after that tumble with the ladder Jeremy. Looking forward to seeing all the landscaping ideas you have. You two are a great team.
I used to manager a state Personal care program with 102 clients and 34 or so certified nursing assistants. I conducted in home assessments and developed plans of care for the patients enabling them to stay in their homes safely. I had several patients with spinal cord injuries. The majority fell from ladders or hit moose in the car. Please be careful and take safety measures. Don't do anything when you are too tired. I've learned the hard way not to do that.
Curious who pays for this in home care?The state Medicaid or private.?
At that time it was Medicaid or a state grant for those who made too much to qualify for Medicaid. I understand now the grant is gone.

. It can be both. Best to call
Looking at your nighttime sky couldn’t get old, it’s beautiful and you can see more from your location because of no light pollution. I wish I could have a little bit of your heaven. Stay safe and take care of your family

The end of EVERY VIDEO makes me emotional. The way you write the closing narration, its so soul filled and touching! You really should write a book or something.
Thank you 😊
I feel the exact same way!
Love the video's. I hope you and Jeremy received of the Maryland Police badges/patches along with my letter. I can feel a connection from 1 former old officer to another retired young former officer. We all are brothers. Much respect for you and what you are teaching your children. Even through I am on Hospice and 90% bed bound, I am teaching my grandson how to grow a garden for when he is older (11 years old) and he can fend for himself.
It's good to see the younger children out helping manage the farm. The younger 2 kids really show an interest to learn and be a part of the homestead process. When you're off grid it's key to teach work ethic, and to learn a skill especially as a kid instead of being on the internet all day.
Tell you what - the view of the mountains will never get old. I could watch the scenery all day.
Nice job on the build 🌻🤟🌻
You might need gutters and drain spouts to send the water away. So beautiful there!
That was my thoughts exactly!
Your video recording skills are top notch - come winter, spring, summer, monsoons and fall. Simply awesome.
monsoons?
There are no monsoons in Idaho
Agreed probably the best B roll footage on UA-cam. Thanks Melissa
I find so much comfort in your videos. Thank you for sharing your life and bring motivation and love to youtube
Melissa, please encourage Jeremy to not go up on the ladder when he is tired!!! God bless you and keep you safe. The stalls look fantastic and the horses will be safer!
I fell off a ladder onto a concrete floor, tore a rotator cuff. That is very painful and takes time to heal. You are lucky to not be hurt badly! 😮
People who live in the city have no idea about the night sky. The very first time I saw it was when i went through Survival School at McCord AFB , Washington. I was in my sleeping bag on a mountain top and happen t o look up at the night sky . There were millions of stars that it looked like you could reach up and touch.
You guys have really been blessed with the talent you both have to do the things you do. The loving family you have , you all work hard for what you have. Thank you for sharing it with us and taking us along with you.
Melissa is quite the little dynamo as a worker for her size! Jeremy’s skills are awesome!
Why did it look like the horses were taking a deep breath and saying...Awww... smells like fresh clean bedding that I need to roll in !! 😂 ! Glad Jeremy is ok ! Just like a Timex watch...takes a lickin and keeps on ticking !! 😊😅
So glad to see the dry wall finished, because if there is anything I dislike worse than hanging dry wall myself, it' s watching others hang (or finish) it!
Seriously I'm seeing snow in March.... I watched Naveahs video and was like for real?! I'm from the Caribbean and it's so hot here. Glad to see you all and thanks for sharing. Love from Trinidad ❤
Well... How rude of you to say so.. 👈👈🤣
@@factsmatter4030 rude how so..... I'm an avid follower of this channel and I never miss an update. I'm simply stating that I didn't expect snow in March. If you noticed when the video started it showed alot of snow and for someone living in the Caribbean I had no idea it could be that way. Just being honest.
And by the way when people like you make comments on others comments like you just did makes me want to just stay on the sidelines and not comment at all.
@@cassiem - I don't think that comment was saying literally that you were rude, especially when the laughing emoji was right after saying that ... just the thought of warmer temperatures for us that live in climates that can and do get snow into April & sometimes May just makes us jealous. Please keep commenting on their posts - they appreciate every one of them.
We live in the most northern BC, Canada community. We can get snow any time of the year!😂
Another great video. I actually don’t know how you all have the stamina to keep up to do everything that you’ve done. What a beautiful job. What a lovely home stead. Blessings to you and your sweet family.❤
So happy Jeremy wasn’t seriously hurt! Life is all about learning. Your videography is superb Melissa along with your editing. How do you do Gabby, teach children, garden, video tape & edit plus everything else 😇 You are a hero Melissa🙏❤️🙏Blessing’s
I hate it when people cut down beautiful old trees. Trees are the backbone of a good, healthy environment.
Now, you can have a "going away" party, for the drywall.
A big cheer, your drywall is completed. I said in your last video, time for a celebration, well deserved. Jeremy fall was not as bad as I first thought it would be, but with your already having a bad back, you need to be careful.
Stay safe, love to you all from Mike. ❤
WOW! The night sky is amazing! Such a beautiful spot on this globe🤠❤️
There's nothing better after a long day of "landscape improvements", than to sit by the firepit with loved ones...😊 Absolutely beautiful scenery, beautiful property. Love ya'll ❤
Couldn't agree more!
Be safe and careful 💕 love watching your family and excited for your landscape 💐🌺🪷🏵️🌻🌱🌳🏞️
Love your endings of your videos! You have such an amazing way with words. What a blessing for your kids to hear for years to come! ❤❤❤
I am sure you guys are so happy the dry wall is finally done......that is another project down now on to the next. You guys do great work together and team work is what it is all about.
Another beautiful video.
Happy Jeremy didnt break anything falling.❗️
Horses will enjoy the chips and make a nice horsey perfume 🐎🐎🐎❗️👍
Cord free moder bellows. . . . Jeremy you are brilliant....& hilarious. Well done. The cooled ashes will be marvelous for garden.
Glad you're ok after that tumble! After 45 years of drywall i only tripped on my stilts 2 times. Not fun. Just retired so I'm happy to report that I'm in great shape for hiking and biking these beautiful mountains of Colorado! Knock on wood!!! Your property is absolutely beautiful! Take care and be careful!!😉👍🙌
Relieved that Jeremy is OK after the fall😊
Jeremy knows the leaf blower trick. I'm impressed. I like this video. Landscaping is my area of expertise.
A fan works well, too, when there is little to no wind.
The music, the stars, the horses, the other animals, your beautiful human babies and two excellent parents!!👏🏻👏🏻😍🤩
Lucky horses, very loved and cared for.
If the tree is pine you don’t want to use it in the fireplace because of the pine sap. It will build up the walls and cause a fire.
Amen!!
It was red fir, good firewood.
Wow! Another awesome video!! Your videos absolutely inspire people to want to reach their goals. 👍🏻👍🏻 Thank You! 🤗🤗
We love seeing Kenji in the videos! We have been through this phase of life he is going through! Give him kisses from our family! Dang, that could have been much worse! Be careful! Ladder accidents can be deadly! Nice landscape prep! No matter how much I landscape, I just cannot seem to get that beautiful mountain in my yard! 🤔😉😁
The horses are hilarious, in how their comic curiosity appears at random moments. 😂🥰 I am so glad we missed out on the “beautiful” blue dry-wall you used in the house-build 😊. Well done on surpassing Hollywood quality videography and soundtrack as always, Melissa, you win the You-Tube Oscars. ❤
Awww you're so sweet, thank you
Another good start for my Saturday. Please be careful, falling from a ladder can have devastating consequences
Love that you got the wood shavings down for the muddy path of the horses! Happy to see you didn’t get hurt badly Jeremy. I know how thankful you must feel for the drywall finally being done! It is all looking well for Gabby
Glad you are done hanging dry wall, not for my sake I enjoy watching you hang drywall. It's nice to see you are making great progress. You guys have such a beautiful place to live but is it ever going to warm up and be spring up your way. We are mowing and enjoying flowers blooming here in Missouri 😊.
Safety inspector Kenji still keeping an eye on everything ❤️ kinda gonna miss the drywall tbh - can't wait for the siding to go up 😀
I'm glad Jeremy is OK.. thank goodness drywall done. Now it will go really quick.😊
Another milestone completed-congratulations! Can't wait to see how far you've made it in the next video! Love from MN!
The nighttime sky over Idaho is mesmerizing! So very clear and beautiful! You all accomplish so much even in the midst of a snow storm. Jeremy falling from the ladder was distressing. Glad he was only sore not broken! You all be safe!💕
Great video! So glad Jeremy didn’t hurt himself falling off the ladder. GABBY is looking great!
You are surrounded by so much beauty.❤
Hope Jeremy is not hurting and feeling better soon. Gabby is really coming together, can't wait to see it finished. You guys Rock!!
Really neat where you live that there is no light pollution and you really get to see the stars. should get a powerful telescope for the kids to see all the stars
Looking Good 🙏
You're not finished yet when you finish that little hallway.Between the house and the cabin , then you'll be finished with dry wash
Hope Jeremy recovered well from falling off the ladder, never good to work when you are tired. Poor Kanji has lost so much weight, he knows he's loved. Wow the upstairs.is looking so light and airy. Love your night sky and your mountain views. Take care.
Glad to see Jeremy didn't get to hurt from falling off the ladder. Those cookies looked good, what kind? Great video this week Melissa.
My husband and I are regulars for your channel. We enjoy your family, the animals, your gardening, and of course watching you build your lives and your home in beautiful Idaho. My husband was born there in 1939 in an old two-story log house near Mt. Harrison in south-central Idaho. No running water, no electricity. Off-grid when everyone was!
Oh wow, that's so neat
Congratulations on getting done with dry wall hung.
Oh my goodness he really did fall 😱Sure glad it wasn’t any worse 🙏🙏 The Snow falling part with you out there in it working WOW just So Beautiful, and the Mountains WOW…. I would say Party Time since All the Drywall work is done ✅ I bet the horses are happy with all the new wood chips 👍👍 This was a great video looking forward to next Saturday ! God Bless You All 🙏🙏 And Remember To Always Stay Safe And Careful out there 🙏❤️✝️🙏❤️✝️.
WOW LOOK AT THE SNOW!!!! WHERE ARE THE KIDS PLAY OUTSIDE,, AFTER FALLING OF THE LADDER AND FAMILY I THINK ITS TIME TO THINK OF ANOTHER TRIP TO HAWAII.. G D BLESS YOU ALL ,,YOUR A GREAT FAMILY..
🇨🇦👋 It has surely been an odd winter, so I guess an odd spring is to be expected. However, having a property filled with trees, I kinda like the snow continuing. More moisture for the forests and waterways = less forest fires.
I agree, being tired increases accidents. Take care, be safe! 👍
😂 I love the way the horses watched y'all putting the chips down and inspected it.
Mother rules!!!!! Well done downing the tree. Yet the mountains with snow looks absolutely beautiful.
I’ve said it before but what a beautiful way to look at life. Very wise words from someone your age. You have a wonderful little family and a beautiful property! The view is outstanding ❤
That mountain is so majestic, I would get stuck starring at it.
My wife and I would look at each other and say, "Well, that was a productive day!" You got a lot of small projects done. Your horses looked especially appreciative of the new ground cover. Where were the kids helping out?
Y'all are living the American dream! Your property and home is amazing and beautiful. The fresh air you get to breathe and the atmosphere is second to none. Every time I watch a video, I just dream and think if only I could live at place like that. God has truly blessed your family. Enjoy and never take for granted! God Bless!
God bless
Anyone who remembers that special dance they used to do at the conclusion of a significant task such as this drywalling is an OG of the channel
Miss that😊
Keep going guys... congratulations!
Yes, it's the happy dance.
I never get tired of looking at your property, it's so beautiful!
I read that the other day, I forgot where or who wrote it:
Something to love, Something to do, Something to hope for. The Constitution of Joyful Happiness.
Im still waiting for the coffee table book with photos of nature and your words of wisdom, Melissa !!!❤
Jeremy, GET A 4 IN 1 front bucket for your tractor! It will save your back! Turkey apocalypse!
It is not a Spring Blizzard ... March 21st is Spring ... its still Winter!
Jeremy you have to rest. Falling off a ladder at your age can be harder to heal if you injure your shoulder or hip. Those stump grinders are amazing machines. They chomp those stumps up so good. The kids apartment is going to be awesome. Your oldest will be in there as soon as you finish. Her camping adventures crack me up. The hottest days and a blizzard. Melissa your narration is so beautiful. You have a voice that just calms and flows. Just a beautiful family and we look forward to Saturday just to see what you are doing. ❤❤❤
Thank you for everything! God Bless you ALL!
Jeremy, I hope you are ok after your fall and not much damage was done... I love the way you two work together to get things done. You make a great team! Melissa your photography is outstanding. The mountains and the star filled sky are absolutely amazing. You should open your own photography business, I think you would be Amazing. Love and Blessings to you All 🙏❤️🙏
Awww thank you ❤️ Blessings!
Another beautiful video, Melissa. Your family sure is blessed!
Congrats on finishing the drywall and getting the tree stumps out... You all are already thinking about the next project. The mind never rests, hopefully the body can. I see from the last couple of videos that Kyra really likes the new horse, I can't think of his name maybe it's Blue. I know Whiskey was the little pony. Maybe she's forming a bond with this one and changes her mind about being around the horses. She's such a sweetheart🥰
You have got a bunch done..breathe for a minute!! Lol!! Good job team on all fronts!!
" Gabby " is coming together quite well!!
The ponies were being so cute n nosey!!
Good to see Kenji still
motivating!!
Thanks for sharing your time n talents with us today !!!!
C ya on the next
video !!
🍀🐺🧙♂️🦊🍀
I love how the horses were being nosy
Hi guys, re stumps/roots:
word of warning:
In 2021 we had a tree felled because it was too close to a building.
Within 18 months the roots had all rotted with the result that the concrete hard standing outside the building is all cracked and sinking a little in places so you may need a little reinforcement in the bank.
Hope you find this helpful 💜
The White horse looks sad without his little buddy. I would like to see where he was taken. And if he is adjusting there without his friend.
Congratulations finally the dry way is done. I hated dry walling.
Jeremy...you have a bad back. Please becareful. You have a beautiful place.
Take care folks.
Good video. It is interesting to see hard snowing to melted driveway in one video! Question, how is it we have not stowed the post hole attachment off the tractor? Always looks like it will get damaged when you are using the tractor for other jobs.☘☘happy St. Pat's day.
The night sky view y'all have is absolutely stunning! Have you thought of getting a telescope?
It was great to see Kenji in this episode. I'm so sorry to see that he is looking so frail. Give him some extra loving from me!!
It's certain that the horses appreciate the home make-over.
So happy that you are finished with the drywall guys!! I`ll bet not half as happy as you both are. What a horrible part of any build or reno. As some others have said in the comments, be careful with the ladder falls. I fell 2 years ago and broke 2 ribs and was laid up for weeks. Mind you, I am 59 now and was 57 when I fell, but even at 40 our bodies can't handle the fall the same as we could at 20. I get up on my 12-foot ladder to trim hedges every summer and I HATE doing it...this year may be the 1st time I actually hire someone to come do it for me. The risk outweighs the reward at my age. Spring is trying to come up here in N. Saskatchewan but colder temps blew in last night and back to winter for a couple more weeks anyways. As always, sending love from our acreage to yours.
Wow, that weather is insane, lol. Great job on getting those stumps removed and wood chipping the barn. Ooh, how cozy that outdoors log fire looked. Yay, well done on getting all the drywall fitted. Love the vlog :)
The BEST VIEW of any others like you. Every outdoorsy channel says they have the best. Your IS, MY OPINION .
Glad Jeremy did not hurt himself seriously. Take care Jeremy if tired do take half hour breaks now and again.
Those horses love ❤️ the way you spoil them! 😊
a lot of work done in 1 day. a great day with snow, sun, blue sky and a bonfire
You should Mae charcoal with the stumps an ad to your garden
Glad they you’re ok Jeremy! Excited to see what plans you have for the landscape, it’s gonna be even more beautiful ❤
Awwwww. You're a #1 in a 1,000,000. A good son, husband and father. That's what you are.
The tractor is a really good investment for multiple reasons, you seem to make good choices with your money, I see that I’m not the only person who falls off a ladder, I’m just grateful that you didn’t hurt your back.
Watching the sky and the stars moving looks like a giant colidascope
Leaving the root ball in the ground that will rot and leave voids in the ground which will cause the sides of driveway to give way.
