I, personally, am astonished by the amount you and Clay have accomplished since buying your homestead property! It's becoming more beautiful every time I see it. Keep on keeping on!
Everyone is dealing with feeling overwhelmed. You and Clay just get to do in beautiful setting. You are good at prioritizing and counting your blessings. Y'all are good.
Ariel, you and Clay are doing a FANTASTIC job on your land. It's come so far! I wouldn't mind a live stream. I honestly prefer when UA-camrs just answer the most popular questions. Pick some questions you get a lot and do what you did today. Sit in the shade by the babbling Brook so we can hear it and the wind through the trees. Such a lovely sound ❤️ Have a great day and I hope your temperatures drop to a more enjoyable feeling for you
Totally agree that livestream isn’t necessary-just sit and chat and answer the often asked questions. You don’t need to worry about the tech involved in live-streaming, right now!!
I think the thing is that it's time consuming to go through all the videos and collect and write down questions. She's trying to find away to save time so that it's doable with her schedule.
My wife and I carved a home out of some wooded acreage here in western Washington over the last 34 years. It will surprise you how fast the time goes by and things get done. The evergreen trees I planted all the years ago are now are 24” + across at the stump and tall and beautiful. Large garden and fruit trees, It’s amazing. We love what we’ve ended up with and you will too! Enjoy the journey.
Ohh i would like that Ariel....i can understand you because i live in a recyceld tiny house in Holland and have half an acre... Taking care of the grass For my ponys. I have a chickencoup with 4 chickens , 3 ponys and 2 cat. I will try to make a green garden with vegtables.. So i totally can follow jou. I am so gratefull for you Lovely filming..... Thank jou so much
LOL on trying the 8:1 ratio! Hear that. We let our "spring cleaning" list evolve into the "spring and summer" list! Pacing ourselves is everything. Remember to ** breathe ** 👍🇨🇦😎⚘
As they say "Rome wasn't built in a day." Try to remember that the best part of life is the journey❤ What you are doing is amazing and please feel pride in your accomplishments💚💚 I would love a Q & A😎 You and Clay are inspirations and fabulous role models for the rest of us💜💜 Be kind to yourself and know that not one of your subscribers is judging.
Thank you for this video, Ariel. I kept thinking how honest you are to share your true feelings. Then I watched as the wind blew so strongly through your hair and the trees and thought please blow away any stress from Ariel. Then there is Burley. :-) Your dear companion that just makes everything right. Love you Ariel, wishing for a couple of degrees cooler for you and Clay. :-)
It is clear to see you and Clay are hard workers and hence...are always assessing🤗 Love and appreciate what you share. It truly is amazing to me what you have accomplished. Blessings to you both!
I’m a procrastinator / not a good planner/organizer. But your steady, methodical going forward is bearing fruit. You seem to understand nature and it’s processes- that’s a gift . I am glad you have a partner to work with you and growing your little slice of paradise. You two have accomplished SO many things already. You get your rest and by the way, I love your Creek-side shady rest area 💕
I would love a live Q&A! Ariel, I don't think anyone even noticed the typos! It's obvious that you are a perfectionist, most of us could never do all the things that you've accomplished, so please give yourself some Grace! 💗⚘
Stop and smell the roses. When you are on your deathbed, you won't be saying, wish I got to that weeding sooner or slept less that day. You and Clay are creating a beautiful life, so take time to enjoy it, right now. Also, the Q and A is a great idea.
I didn’t realize you and Clay were married. Congratulations belatedly! 🎈🍾 Love seeing your homestead develop. It takes time and hard work and Lord knows you have the hard work down pat!!! Hang in there.

@@puggirl415 oh my apologies madam puggirl, I had no idea I was required to pass your scrutiny before commenting.

Well, don't bother replying I've blocked you. I will not allow such negativity into my life, to unbalance the peace and love of the Lord, thankyou and goodnight. 🙏💞🙏💞
A great video pointing out what living a life well lived entails & is all about. Being human with really good intentions needs no apology. If only there were more folks inhabiting the world that went about life the way you two do, what a far, far better world this would be 💞
You seem to handle it all with grace. I am happy to see you doing well and growing on the homestead. No apologies necessary, most of us probably didn't notice. Hang in there, be well.
Thank you for always being so willing and open to sharing the struggles of homesteading life. It's what makes you so relatable and loved by your followers.
What I’ve always admired about you is that everything you do appears to be part of your enjoyment of life. I suspect that for you work is play, at least I hope so.
I can remember when you first moved to your property: clearing the creek, rebuilding the bridge at the entrance to your property, erecting a gate, and as for fencing the boundary of your property, that was something else. All this in a matter of how many weeks? You have made a magnificent change to your property in such a short time.. I would be very interested in a Q & A live stream, but hopefully not a too bad a time zone between yourself and the UK!
Ariel, thank you for sharing today. It means a lot to mean that we all get overwhelmed! Yes a question & answer session would be very nice. Have a lovely day 😍😊💜🤗❤️🌈
I would LOVE a live stream! I am so glad to see you acknowledging that even the AMAZING Ariel gets overwhelmed. Kidding of course, but you are such an inspiration to all of us, it’s good to see that reality of the homestead building process sometimes gets tough. Hang in there, my friend. Take time to smell the roses!👍❤️🌹
I am totally amazed with all you two have done in a year. We bought a fixer upper house on five acres, planted fruit trees and a large raised bed garden so I totally understand where you’re coming from. No need to apologize, we’re all human and you have a full plate. Any complainers can go elsewhere! A livestream would be fun but not until you have the time. Blessings.
You are quite the photopher. Excellent captures of your life and animals. I hope someday you and Clay will be able to build your forever home soon. And yes to a live chat.
You are THE best youtuber I watch! Never apologize. I'm addicted to your videos. You explain things in detail making it easy to learn from. Have a beautiful day!
Ariel, patience is a virtue, I agree with everyone here at how impressive it is that you and Clay have accomplished!!! Your experience is a blessing and thank you for sharing what you do with us!!! Maybe some of us, and you guys too maybe, are feeling a sense of urgency related to world events and forgive me if that's not in y'all's mindset. YAAASSSS to a live stream!!!!!
These are the moments of your life. Are you present? Are you happy? See beauty. Cultivate joy. Feel the love that surrounds you. Enjoy each moment. Work is just something we do while being happy and enjoying the moments.
Sweet video today - life is a series of ups and downs. Living in gratitude helps keep things calm. Your homestead is beautiful. Thank you for sharing ❤️😃
I can only speak for myself, but your daily accomplishments and projects you take on put my piddly efforts to shame. No apologies needed...ever! Love seeing your place develop!
OMG, woman! You are about the hardest working person I have ever seen. It would be unbelievable if you weren’t overwhelmed. Thank you for sharing your feelings with us. Hope you, Clay, and the doggies and kitties can take time for a little R&R now and then. Thank you for all you share with us. I have learned so much and look forward to your videos. ❤️
The creek gives a pleasant environment. I understand your feeling of being overwhelmed, a place like yours takes a lot of work but gives so much satisfaction. I am establishing a much smaller garden and feel exactly the same, fighting climate change and everything. You are not alone! Best wishes from France.
Yes for Q &A! Love your videos and I realize it’s much easier to watch you haying than for you to do it, but it is beautiful to watch and also I had no idea how old it was done. Thank you for all of the many wonderful videos.
Ok…been enjoying life with you for a couple of years. This is definitely one of my top “5” Fy Nyth videos. If you knew which other channels I watch/glean from…you’d be honored. Just chillin’ on back deck in Vermont. 😅 With my cat, Awesome. 😽
Would love to listen to a live stream, you do such wonderful work, and having a partner helps. Keep up the good work both of you…..,Loads of love from Oxfordshire, 🇬🇧
I have never been disappointed in any of your videos…… They are always so informative….. I have loved all of them…. Thank you for all that do..Have a great day..
I am thankful you are able to share what you do Ariel. It is strange how as a viewer I think we become attached to people who don't even know us. I know how video editing can all of sudden take up a few hours too. You and Clay just take care of yourselves first. If you do a live stream that would be exciting, but if you don't that would of course be okay too, as long as you two are healthy and doing well.
Thank you for taking time to chat with us. I love these type of videos whether you are chopping wood or sitting in the shade for a bit. I feel like I get a little moment to hear your thoughts. You do so much! Thank you for reminding us that we all get overwhelmed and especially for the reminder to take inventory of what we have done!! Best wishes!
When you are your own boss you have to remember that breaks, rest, and saying no is in your interest in the long run. My husband just started his own business and I have to remind him that the reason he did this is not to be used up by others so he shouldn't use himself up either. Your new place looks amazing and reflects your hard work. I live on 6 acres and I am older so I always feel overwhelmed. But I think we hard workers always feel like we should be getting something done.
Amen! Great update and overview!!! Thank you! (Hair keeps growing too!) Takng time with others to enjoy summer is essential. What are you doing to celebrate summer with others in our celestial season 2022. IDEAS: Knit, Crochet, Sewing projects, Tiny Home Quilt, RV Quilt, Burley Quilt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do hope you will film your food processing for us when the time comes. I have watched all of your others. But it would still be nice to see you do again. :)
If you can work it in, a Q and A thing with you and Clay would be great. From what I've observed with all the youtube channels I watch, is that homesteading is a 24 hour a day job. I also learned that from the farmers I grew up around. They never took vacations, they were always busy doing something on their farms. There's nothing on a farm you can just go off and leave, not animals, or gardens or field crops, etc. You are very wise to realize that you have achieved so much AND you and Clay have achieved so much. Like happiness, farming is a journey not a destination...continue to take time to "stop and smell the roses." 🙂
You are wonderful Ariel! Thanks for that great reminder. I just hear a saying this morning that really resonated with me... Comparison is the thief of Joy! Will help me remember to not feel like I need to compare myself to other. You are amazing and you exhaust me sometime... just watching what all you do! :) So glad you are taking a moment to sit in the shade & enjoy your beautiful surroundings!
I'm glad that you take time to sit by the stream and be refreshed. I'd like to encourage you to plan into your landscape, sitting places so that you can sit and view and enjoy the fruits of your labour. We did not do that at our last home and it became a place that I started to resent because it was only a place of work, never enjoyment. Our new home we are trying to correct that and we spend more time outside, working & playing, as a result.
Thank you for sharing, what I do in that situation is think of something harder and take my time for everything... my mom used to say dress me slowly because Im in a hurry...
We’ve carved out this 50 acres from a state forest and built everything ourselves. It’s often been overwhelming, financially, physically and emotionally. People believe this is paradise and want the same things we have. But it has taken us two years shy of four decades. Time and love, everybody. Time and love.
Ariel….what you have done in the short time you have been there is nothing but fantastic..well done…it is very very hot here in the Uk over 40c first time ever…totally unbearable..little cooler today! Q & A would be fantastic xxx
Great video! No apologies necessary.....it is wonderful to see the life you've built, which obviously takes time to accomplish. Been following you the past 2 months, and watched many of your gardening and cooking videos. It would be wonderful to have a live chat/Q & A, etc. You're doing great! :)
I only found your channel last year but really enjoy your great videos and your sharing gardening, cooking and homesteading. Never forget to take time each day to enjoy your surroundings and enjoy simple pleasures. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Don't worry about a low video because we don't mind. We love that you share a life many of us would love to do. I so appreciate the wildlife, beautiful scenery and adventures in your life. You both are very hard working and accomplish so much more than the average Joe. Your property is lovely and coming along nicely. LOVE the sounds of the creek. Hang tight we really enjoy your efforts.
Your progress is stunning and praise-worthy, so please go gentle on yourself. A live stream would be great. One thing I've learned by watching live streams on other channels is that it's good to have someone capable to moderate the chat so that things don't go the wrong direction (spammers, etc.). I was actually thinking of you this morning when I had to walk down my driveway to the mailbox--it's 600 feet from the house which is not that far but when you're older and ill, it's not so easy; plus it was 90 F at 10 AM with high humidity so the Heat Index was about 106. I love Mississippi and our long, long summers but it was even a bit much for me--your highs in the 80's sound blissful but I'm sure that they are not for someone like you who prefers the chilly days.
I feel the same way about summer in Wyoming as you do! Summer comes on so fast and then it's gardening, recreation, general repairs that need to be done outside, and then it's time to cut wood for winter! You two are very ambitious and have gotten so much accomplished. It's important to stop and enjoy the little things in life too.
I laughed out loud at your answer! I’m out in the garden listening while potting plants up. I’ll be thinking of questions and let you know them. I’d have to say, I’ve learned so much of things I didn’t even know I didn’t know, that even though i grew up on a farm in PA and started two homesteads (Modoc county CA and Pipestone, MT) you have really opened my mind to learn new things!
Ariel- you NEVER need to apologize for ANY thing- you and Clay are amazing and life is nothing but constantly trying to find balance-
Completely agree
I 100% agree!!
⚘She is not apologizing. Listen to it again.
Yep, what Pam said😊

No need to apologize, you show what it takes to run a homestead. So many think it is easy. Would love to see a live stream, never hurts to try.
When you are your own boss you have to remember that breaks, rest, and saying no is in your interest in the long run.

We’ve carved out this 50 acres from a state forest and built everything ourselves. It’s often been overwhelming, financially, physically and emotionally. People believe this is paradise and want the same things we have. But it has taken us two years shy of four decades. Time and love, everybody. Time and love.
Ariel….what you have done in the short time you have been there is nothing but fantastic..well done…it is very very hot here in the Uk over 40c first time ever…totally unbearable..little cooler today! Q & A would be fantastic xxx
Always glad to see what you & Clay are up to. Don't worry about us! We will be here cheering you on.
Take time to smell the roses...life is short!
I hear you about getting overwhelmed. Important to give yourself some grace. You have done amazingly!
Great video! No apologies necessary.....it is wonderful to see the life you've built, which obviously takes time to accomplish. Been following you the past 2 months, and watched many of your gardening and cooking videos. It would be wonderful to have a live chat/Q & A, etc. You're doing great! :)
I only found your channel last year but really enjoy your great videos and your sharing gardening, cooking and homesteading. Never forget to take time each day to enjoy your surroundings and enjoy simple pleasures. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Don't worry about a low video because we don't mind. We love that you share a life many of us would love to do. I so appreciate the wildlife, beautiful scenery and adventures in your life. You both are very hard working and accomplish so much more than the average Joe. Your property is lovely and coming along nicely. LOVE the sounds of the creek. Hang tight we really enjoy your efforts.
NO need to apologize!!!!!!! EVER!!!!
Remember the adage "Rome wasn't built in a day."
Your progress is stunning and praise-worthy, so please go gentle on yourself. A live stream would be great. One thing I've learned by watching live streams on other channels is that it's good to have someone capable to moderate the chat so that things don't go the wrong direction (spammers, etc.). I was actually thinking of you this morning when I had to walk down my driveway to the mailbox--it's 600 feet from the house which is not that far but when you're older and ill, it's not so easy; plus it was 90 F at 10 AM with high humidity so the Heat Index was about 106. I love Mississippi and our long, long summers but it was even a bit much for me--your highs in the 80's sound blissful but I'm sure that they are not for someone like you who prefers the chilly days.
Yes to the Q&A!!!
I feel the same way about summer in Wyoming as you do! Summer comes on so fast and then it's gardening, recreation, general repairs that need to be done outside, and then it's time to cut wood for winter! You two are very ambitious and have gotten so much accomplished. It's important to stop and enjoy the little things in life too.
I laughed out loud at your answer! I’m out in the garden listening while potting plants up. I’ll be thinking of questions and let you know them. I’d have to say, I’ve learned so much of things I didn’t even know I didn’t know, that even though i grew up on a farm in PA and started two homesteads (Modoc county CA and Pipestone, MT) you have really opened my mind to learn new things!
