And some people say trees devalue the house!....HA!!...that just raised the price on that house!....hhmm...maybe they should put rubber baby buggie bumpers on them???
This is the second homesteader video I watched today that had a drunk driver causing a crash! Unfortunately, in the other one the husband was killed and the wife and 2 small children were severely injured. If any of you also watch The Kneady Homesteader, maybe you could go over and let them know that you are thinking of them.
yes indeed go over,,, drinking and driving is pre med i ate ted red rum. in the matt and heather story. and in yours it is still pre med i ate ted _________(fill n blank) when you start your car you know if you have consumed alcohol. the losers destroying our govt r tripping on the protection and dr suess instead of example: making drivers b charge w pre med, instead of mans laughter... wow , really? 'mans laughter'?? my bad. these drivers need help yes, of course, i demand Heathers driver be charged with the fullest, just shy of death row. i hope dude has to do serious restitution to you kids. if your tree dies, i don't know, when something you love/care about and it has a heartbeat then someone kills that heartbeat they must be forced to face consequences. especially doing it under the influence of alcohol. smoke jane instead. we need Jesus back in our schools. since TEXAS is being clear w no masks as of 3/10 it would be fitting for a pledge and a prayer so Jesus can see all our smiles again. peace be upon you.
I detest drunk drivers and gave no, none, nada empathy for them. They kill people because unfortunately the drunk usually lives. They should go to jail first time until they have gone through drying out and have ankle bracelets to assure they go through rehab. Ugh, I am thinking again about Heather, The Kneady Homesteader and her recent loss of her husband and what she and her kids are enduring because of a drunk driver.
Years ago, an impaired driver rolled his car like a corkscrew through our yard. Police and fire/rescue arrived to take care of everything. Driver was ok. Our trash cans were pulverized and trash had been shot all over the road. While the driver was being cared for, I busied myself getting the trash and container remnants off the road. I FORGOT that I was supposed to put money under my daughter’s pillow for a lost tooth. Next morning, my daughter was so upset that the Tooth Fairy had failed her duties. I told her about the accident in front of the house. With all the sirens and lights and activity, I was certain the Tooth Fairy had been scared away. My daughter considered that and added that the Tooth Fairy definitely wouldn’t want the police catching her sneaking into our house! Lol!
Funny story: my granddaughter lost a tooth two years ago when she was 8, and she was scared of the thought of someone sneaking into the house and putting money under her pillow so she wrote a note to the tooth fairy to just leave the money on the table downstairs hahaha
Oh my gosh. My stress leave went from 0 to 90 in seconds. I was looking after my granddaughters at the time. The 5 year old said nana you have to watch the lovely lady and the beard man they might need your help. My heart melted. I live in the UK she was putting on her boots so we could come and help. What can you say to that
It sounds like they would have had plenty of DNA information. Given his self preservation mode, I would imagine that he is known to the force. Thankfully, no one in the house was injured, although it would have shaken all.
There’s a black tar like substance that arborist use when grafting or pruning damaged limbs that can be painted onto a wounded area that prevents insects from causing more damage. Hope you can save that lovely tree!
If you're so inclined, you file an insurance claim against the owner of the car for damage to the tree. Probably the guy that ran off. Leaving the scene of an accident will land that guy in even more trouble on top of the drunk driving. Thankfully he didn't hit your house.
So thankful Todd is alright. People can be crazy, especially in a situation like that. It is sometimes hard to balance our desire to help with the need to keep our selves safe. Please, please be careful!!! You're wonderful people and we want you around for a good, long time!! Bless you! 💗
i just watched another channel that popped up : " The Kneady Homesteader" she is also in Michigan.. a drunk driver hit her and her family head on. lost her husband and she is severly injured. a miracle that she survived.
If you haven’t heard about the kneady homesteaders channel i urge people to go check her out. Her family was in a horrific accident and she can use lots of love and support. I know this sounds random. But this video made me think of her 🥺
that tree is a hero that saved your house or you'll from being hurt. have to love that tree out there like a watch dog protecting. lol hope it heals . very special tree. at that angle he would of at least hit your car. so thank you Mr. Maple lol
I am so glad you are both safe. The police will find him from his drivers registration. I'm glad he wasn't killed. I do hope you don't lose that tree. Have a Blessed day.
I'm glad you two weren't hurt. A couple years ago I was the first person to get to the office in the morning. There was a car out front with two people slumped over and the front of the car all banged up. I called the cops right away. Drunk driving is inexcusable.
True, anyone can loose control of a car or have any other natural or mechanical issues with it, but drinking and driving is your choice, and like you said completely inexcusable. 😡
So Thankful you both are ok.. So much has changed in the past year. I always tell my kids be mindful of your surroundings.. We just tapped 12 trees yesterday just getting ready .. have a Blessed day.
So glad you guys were not hurt or any of your animals! But there is another UA-camr who was .please go check out The Kneady Homesteader . Live to all and looking forward to your new adventures
The guys is lucky to be alive. I'm thankful he is alive and didn't kill someone else. Seems like yall handled this as well as possible. And, God bless your tree!
Glad you guys are ok. Hope your tree recovers. Pray over it. God cares about what affects you. He keeps track of the sparrow and lily, He cares about your tree.
This is so sad to hear about because of what recently happened to "The Kneady Homesteaders" family. Matt was killed by a drunk driver and the family was in the hospitals for a long time. Prayers for all involved.
Hi. Rachel and Todd. I am so glad you guys are ok. As for people who drink and drive, I am not happy about them. Someone could have been hurt, but the tree did get hurt. I hope things get better for your tree. God Bless Todd and how he took care of things. Also God Bless you Rachel, take care and be safe. Maria.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's been 18 years since I got a call to come home from work because there was a Buick sitting in the middle of my living room. Scary sight. (Luckily no one was hurt and no one was home at the time.) Glad you were safe. And today we finished cooking down maple sap. Been an all weekend job- but oh so worth it.
You might check with your homeowners insurance and see if they will pay for the arborist to work on the tree. Also you can call the sheriff or police, tell them it was your yard and ask them if they found the guy. They should be able to tell you at least that much. Glad you are safe.
If you can get the police report, you need to file with his insurance company. Your tree should be covered, provided he had coverage. You could also file with your company and they would subrogate against his company.
Wow, this story brought back memories! When I was a kid, we lived in a hilly rural area of Puerto Rico, and our house was immediately past a sharp curve in the road. During the four years we lived there, not less than four, and it might have been more, cars coming down that hill missed the curve and crashed into our extremely solid concrete fence. After the first accident, I remember my mother kept a stack of clean towels and various first aid supplies (including a tourniquet!) in a box on the porch, so she could take it with her out to the road if there was another accident --- and it came in handy more than once. Considering that she was often there alone with us kids while my dad was in the States, had no telephone for most of that time (it took forever to install phones in PR back then), and the only locals who would miss that curve were men who had been drinking too heavily at the bodega up the hill, I realize in hindsight she was a pretty gutsy lady.
So glad you all are ok, and hope your tree isn’t to bad. Things like this put you in shock, rest and take care of you. The police will find the guy, hope he is ok and able to straighten himself out.
Holy Moly glad y'all are safe hoping that fellow is too. Scary stuff. I had not clue that it took so much to make syrup. No wonder it is so expensive. Have a better day/evening than your last one.
Oh my! So glad you two are safe. Thankful he did not hit your house. So sorry he hit your beautiful tree. Hopefully the nursery can help it to heal. Y’all stay safe. Sending hugs and blessings from east Texas.❤️
Hope they find the driver soon and that he is ok! That poor maple tree took some damage but I'm sure it will be ok! New to the channel and thank you for sharing this scary event. -Rusty
Hope you can save the tree. Sugar maples are hardy, however, that is a big trama to the tree. The guy has a problem, it's unfortunate he made it yours.
Oh my! Hug that tree every day, he stood guard between that drunk driver and your home! I hope your arborist was able to doctor up your tree and it continues to provide you many gallons of syrup for years to come. Had a neighbor get his tree hit and the car actually drove up the trunk about 2 feet. It is a scarred warrior but still standing and thriving 15 years later.
Oh My... Thank Goodness y'all are safe. It was better that he got the tree & not your house.. it's unfortunate that the accident happened & the guy wandered off. It could have been much worse, at least y'all are safe. Sending Prayers for calming thoughts to lessen the anxiety & that your old Maple tree can be on the mend. - Ruth
The guy was a knucklehead -they are going to find him by his license plate number. The gash on his head will verify it's him. People never cease to amaze me.
A college classmate once told me she was in a bad car accident that launched her through the windshield. Apparently, she was running around in circles muttering odd sentences, face covered in blood from the lacerations, very bad concussion. Pretty scary!
I’m sure the alcohol didn’t help lol They will find him though for sure. His injuries, fingerprints and the license/registration will make it pretty easy
Speaking of drunk drivers y'all continue to pray for Kneady Homestead 😟😭💐
That tree protected your house. It could have been worse. I'm glad you're both safe.
That's really true , the are so Blassed , God took good care of them ,
And some people say trees devalue the house!....HA!!...that just raised the price on that house!....hhmm...maybe they should put rubber baby buggie bumpers on them???

@@evemebufor313 Yes totally agree first degree premeditated murder
I am glad you are OK. Hopefully that man will get the help he so obviously needs. What happened to his car?

How sweet it that!
The beard man 😍😆😆 so cute!
THANK YOU JESUS FOR THIS LITTLE LADY'S LIVE AND WILLINGNESS TO HELP YOU. 🀄🀄🀄💐💐💐🌹🌹🌹💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🛐🛐💖💖💐🌹
Those trees take so long to grow, they're almost priceless. Maybe you can get a couple landscape boulders to protect them.
That license plate is all the police need. Whether it was alcohol or head injury, the guy was clearly impaired. I’m glad you weren’t hurt.
It sounds like they would have had plenty of DNA information. Given his self preservation mode, I would imagine that he is known to the force. Thankfully, no one in the house was injured, although it would have shaken all.

Good thing your Maple was there. Might be time to install some BIG boulders.
I am so glad you are both okay. Poor tree, hopefully your tree will be okay
Glad u are ok!
Wow! Good thing y’all are safe!
So thankful Todd is alright. People can be crazy, especially in a situation like that. It is sometimes hard to balance our desire to help with the need to keep our selves safe. Please, please be careful!!! You're wonderful people and we want you around for a good, long time!! Bless you! 💗
Yikes, I was super scared when I saw your thumbnail! Thankful you guys are ok!! Hopefully the tree will be ok!
i just watched another channel that popped up : " The Kneady Homesteader" she is also in Michigan.. a drunk driver hit her and her family head on. lost her husband and she is severly injured. a miracle that she survived.
2 of the kids were injured too. Terrifying and sad.
I saw that video from the kneady homesteader. It broke my heart. I’m glad these two were ok.

I am so glad you are both safe. The police will find him from his drivers registration. I'm glad he wasn't killed. I do hope you don't lose that tree. Have a Blessed day.
What a lovely couple. You were blessed.
I’d want to use some huge boulders for landscaping after that. Glad you’re ok and hope the tree heals.

What a scary night. Whew glad you both are ok.
Oh my- that had to be upsetting for you both! Todd, you did what you could to help the man. Some people just won’t be helped. Take care-God bless!
If you can get the police report, you need to file with his insurance company. Your tree should be covered, provided he had coverage. You could also file with your company and they would subrogate against his company.
So glad they you all are alright.
So glad you are safe maybe a fence to protect you house and tree there. Keep us updated. And stay safe
I studied in criminology and I wound have lied and said I did not or nothing after he said that and made space between us stay safe
Prayers for you two. Hope they found him and the dogs calm down.
Thank goodness you guys are okay.
Wow what a night.. I live in a really quiet neighbor hood also. Only time it's noisy is during planting in harvesting time. Glad your all good!

I hope that guy got help, also rooting for your tree.
So glad you all are ok, and hope your tree isn’t to bad. Things like this put you in shock, rest and take care of you. The police will find the guy, hope he is ok and able to straighten himself out.
I am so sorry about your tree! My prayers with the family of the person who hit it! Maybe he will get help for his problem.
I hope that tree will heal.
So glad yall are ok! I hope your tree is going to be ok! What a crazy world we live in!
Awesome on Your own Syrup. Thank you for sharing
You can cover the wound (tree) with beeswax .. thats what we do in Denmark ♥️
Oh how scary! I'm glad you are both safe, and keeping my fingers crossed for your tree
So glad you are not hurt. May God restore your tree. Blessings.
Glad you are both safe. Shame about the tree. Hope it can heal itself. Take care and rest ip if you can. Keep us posted about the tree :)
Holy Moly glad y'all are safe hoping that fellow is too. Scary stuff. I had not clue that it took so much to make syrup. No wonder it is so expensive. Have a better day/evening than your last one.

Wow! So glad you both are okay.
I'm glad you guys are ok and he didn't do damage to your house! Hopefully you can save the tree.
I’m glad you are ok ❄️❤️
you need to line the front yard with some boulders so if it happens again they won't come into the porch or your house.
Oh my! Hug that tree every day, he stood guard between that drunk driver and your home!

Oh my goodness. Praise God that you are okay. Praying for the man in the accident. Sending lots of love and positivity.
Situation could have been so much worse. Love your boots!
Wow! PTL that he was looking out for you!
The guy was a knucklehead -they are going to find him by his license plate number. The gash on his head will verify it's him. People never cease to amaze me.
I'm sure the head injury led to his illogical behavior.
A college classmate once told me she was in a bad car accident that launched her through the windshield. Apparently, she was running around in circles muttering odd sentences, face covered in blood from the lacerations, very bad concussion. Pretty scary!
But since he escaped the scene, it would be hard to charge him with DUI.
I’m sure the alcohol didn’t help lol
They will find him though for sure. His injuries, fingerprints and the license/registration will make it pretty easy
@@jamyedowell245 they can charge him for leaving the scene though
Glad the tree was able to stop the car! Best wishes!
Oh my!!! I'm glad you guys are alright!
Glad u all are ok.
Thank our good lord that you all are safe.
I’m so glad that you are both safe.
