    Your adoption of an occasional "video only" style is great! Although the textbook approach to YouTubing says that you have to present a narrated "story" is well established, it is not always valid. ....Just a straight-forward video presentation of reality is in IMHO, far superior, and you are doing a fine job of it. Thanks.

    Such a peaceful video and Burley is such a little goof ball in the snow. His joy at romping around in the snow is obvious and brings a smile to my face! He’s so funny and very cute! But everyone seems to enjoy the snow on your homestead!

    Thank you for sharing the beauty of God’s creation through your eyes. Stunning photography, and your choice of music is always perfect for the setting. The cat in the snow in slow motion is beautiful, as are all the shots of your pets and animals. Thanks again. You remind us that there is beauty and goodness in the world.

    Indeed a wonderland, each flake an individual gift, a nutureing blanket trying to provide. Each animal seems to know, though feet are cold it's a blessed snowfall. Ducks on their "snowshoes" breaking the trail. Early spring birds chirp "what the he**" May all your seasons be blessed and helpful. Take care

    You lead the life I only dream of. My husband won’t move to tiny house living, nor live a more sustainable lifestyle. I do grow a sizeable garden each year, but wish I could have chickens. You are truly blessed and I live through the videos you share of your beautiful life. Thank you for sharing. ❤️

    I love watching how all of the animals enjoy the snow. It's great that the mountain areas are receiving more moisture. Would you show how much it helped the stream later in May during one of your walks please? It would be interesting to see how it looks compared to the video you did last year. The water was low then. Thanks so much for sharing Ariel and Clay.

    The chickens walking in the snow was funny. You almost hear them saying, “Oh ick!!” Some would lift their feet high. I’m glad you like the snow! I’d let everybody out yell, “Follow me!” And we’d all go inside and huddle around the stove.

    Wow! I agree with many others. This is one of your best videos, ever. What a great eye you have for capturing the antics and activities of your furry and feathery friends and the beauty of a snowy April day.
    Healthy, happy animals, perfect music, beautiful scenery. The warmth and loveliness of your home. A nod to the gardening and projects to come.
    Thank you for sharing. An amazing life that many of us dream for.
    PS. I recently retired. Have camper van, will travel. In search of a small piece of land, great weather, and a place to put down new roots. Finishing up the solar on the camper ... and here we go!

    Yay! I'm also really pleased with this early spring snow here in NW Oregon. Not far from the coast and this storm system came through last week bringing much needed snow and rain. While we are not in the worst drought right here, we are still needing more rain. I can't believe I just said that, but it's true. What isn't well known is that in spite of all the rain in the valley and snow in the Cascades, our summers here are hot and very dry. So, like in Wyoming, even here we need that winter rain and snow. I care about how we are all faring with climate change and I'm happy anytime we see something close to the old normal. I really like your videos, Ariel. Thank you.

    Beautiful and serene and healing. A lovely and different view of spring. Loved seeing the robin in the tree. Also was amused by Zipper pretending that he did Not fall over in the snow. 13:26 My cat Frank would never admit a tumble either. Here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, it will be 85 and stormy (again) today--early summer already.

    Beautiful photography! Thank you! “Snow is the cheapest fertilizer.” …I think this is a quote from “Farmer Boy” by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Snow and rain pull nitrogen from the air as it falls, thus fertilizing the soil. Farmer Boy is a delightful story of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s husband’s childhood on a prosperous farm in New York State in the 1800’s. I love the descriptions of the technology of the time…cutting winter ice, taking care of livestock, growing their own food, making clothing and huge amounts of delicious food!

We don’t have too many hot days where we live in northern Michigan. I don’t mind cold weather and like temps up to about 80.
