To be rich is not what you have in bank account but what you have in your heart. You are much richer than some of those greedy millionaires!
*Khmerminn Sota ... With the beauty of your vegetable and flower garden! 🌺🌻🌷🌸🍠🍇🍎🌽🍆🍒💖*
There is Hope, when we see young people who love the land and enjoy growing ... anything... God gave us all this and created us to be tending the garden.. God Bless those who honor His work.
Amen
Amen!!!
Amen
Amen
Your videos fill us with hope and sense of peace and well being that defies comprehension in this tumultuous world. Thank you!
I never leave myself enough space in the garden for flowers , and I always regret it ... this year I really want lots of flowers ...you have officially motivated me!
I would give up a billion dollars to live simply on my own land surrounded by nature, with my family, animals and plants, far away from other humans. I would eat well, breathe fresh air, trade honest labor into bountiful harvest. That is true wealth. That is true meaning.
My friend, I would have to say look out at the world. It has been shown that this can be created in the cities if we are willing. Getting away from other humans will not solve any problems. There is an old saying that rings truer today than it ever has. "Anyone can become enlightened in the mountains. It is time we become enlightened in the city."
A billion? You can get decent land for 50k. Another 20-50 to get set up.
Wouldn't it be smarter to spend like 50-100k on a nice piece of land, and then have just under a billion dollars left for whatever?
I'm pretty sure "a billion dollars" in this context is just a figure of speech, not a literal amount. Duh.
Shutup! You're just a figure of speech! Get out!
Love the intro music. It's so calm and soothing. And your humble way of life is so peaceful...
She look so happy thats why she feels rich
I love the sound of the animals, the goats, the chickens, the ducks, all of it. Great vlog.
Animals just like kids ❤ them
They love you just the way you're🤗
I'm working on to have this life now

I'm 23 years old n this is my dream life!!! 🤗🤗🤗
BeRealisticLove Me too but I'm 49 (just!). But we started living like this when I was around 24.
We grow a lot of our own stuff and keep chickens for eggs (hope to get a couple of ducks soon too- mainly because we love them as they are such characters!). We even used to brew our own cider and beer.
I want to try to live a self sustaining life as possible and also rescue and rehome animals, particularly horses and others labelled as 'livestock'.
Go for it: it's the best way of living a real life. Best of luck to you x.
Mindrolling I'm smiling alone reading ur comments. Thank you for ur kind words. U live beautifully! 😘

One of my favorite videos!!!! Beautiful flowers and loved seeing Donald enjoying the pool!!!!!
Rich? You are millionaires! Just think about all the love there is in your lives, the kindness in your hearts, the sweetness in your children. We'd give anything to be your neighbors. Blessings.
TRUE, true true.......
You said it better than I could---wonderfully said.
I can't think of anything that can make your life any richer.! You are rich without all the trappings of a rich (moneyed) person.! Awesome children, lifestyle, garden, animals. I envy you.!
BTW, do you have the space, need, or wish to build a pond for your ducks and tilapia fish.?
Backyard Blessings agree 😍😘

I can’t wait to move to my 3 acres land when I retire I’ll be surrounded with beautiful flowers 😍
lots of flowers, wonderful family, home grown food on the table, cows and goats that want you to scratch their heads and necks. you are beyond rich.
the more I watch your videos, the more I realize you have one of the best channels there is.
may you forever have many flowers and lots of fresh eggs.
Thank you Bri. I started my day out watching this video! It started my day out on a happy note today...I planted zinnias and other flowers this year this year and they are blooming like crazy now. But I've been so busy, I have not taken time to appreciate them. Thank you for reminding me how very rich I am. I will be taking the time to appreciate my flowers this morning...You are a very special lady! Thanks again for your sweet and thoughtful video! :-)
Your videos have inspired and reignited a flame I thought was extinguished! I look forward to your daily updates !! Your family shows both the good and bad of homesteading, which is fantastic. Through our fumbles and failures we learn and grow as people. Your children are learning such great things, keep up all your great work!
Hi Bri, as a recently newer sub, I’ve tended to see Art more in the videos thus far. This was a wonderful vid to watch on a cold frozen winters day, Springs coming. You have beautiful gardens and such a content, kindred spirit. God bless you both and the family. 😃🇨🇦
Wonderful. Quality of life that no amount of money can ever buy!
yes it's true
natural music
Yes...so rich. My daughter was an avid gardener back a few years ago, at the time she got married. She grew all the flowers for her wedding and for all the tables. They were beautiful. Talk about rich.
The happiest times of my life were enjoying the garden in rural Idaho and raising my children. You are a very rich young woman and blesses.
We feel so rich too. So thankful for this lifestyle we get to live with our family and building a community of like minded people! Love your story!
Awwww.... it just makes my day seeing Donald enjoy that pool! SO thoughtful of you to give him one. He is a "Proud Grandpa" to those little ducklings.... SO adorable.... I LOVE zinnias too! Grew up with them as my dad planted them in our garden every single year along with gladiolas, Hollyhocks, roses and potted geraniums. I can't believe how many butterflies you have there and bees, enjoying all those wonderful flowers. SO lovely!!! You are SUCH a sweetheart Bri and I adore hanging out with you. I noticed the goats following you were together in matching colors pretty much. The blacks were all together, the browns and even the lighter colored two. How cute is that!! It's such a JOY to come to your place for a visit. :) Thank you! Love and blessings.... XOX
Zinnia is my absolute favorite flower ever. I've never seen a video about them b4. I use them to line my driveway and tuck lavender, dill, basil and other herbs, along with some marigold in between. But it's the zinnia that brings so many butterflies to my yard. At the time of the monarch migration, you cannot enter my door way without having a multitude of butterflies landing on you as you come in. Love this video!!
Love!!
FYI fellow followers: If we watch the ad at the beginning of each video for at least 30 sec they get a bit of income! I didn't realize until yesterday (watching one of their older videos) that if I skip the ad I'm not helping them at all, so now I'm leaving the ad running. 😃
Had no idea that watching the ad vid would help them out. Thanks for the tip. I'll now do it with my other subscriptions too.
Never knew this
Your garden is glorious!!! I 100% agree with you on having zinnias in the garden, I love having all the butterflies visiting them and my son always asks to bring a few blooms to the table! It really does make you feel rich!!
Love your channel! We have a house in the mountains of W./NC. Just saw the rattlesnake/blueberry picking video. Rattle snakes are usually in the rocky areas, but also eat birds that feed off blueberries/blackberries. Western NC has more copperhead bites than any state in the U.S. They strike without warning. The baby copperheads are born live in July-Aug. and are very active and venomous. We were taught to hike, pick berries, etc. and carry a large walking stick. We prodded around with the stick BEFORE putting our hands or feet in. Did the same when working in the garden. It's fun to make good, sturdy walking sticks, plus they're so useful. God bless!!
This is pure heavenly ....first scene with the tap filling the bucket and the fresh grass underneath put me in the right place.....
Back in the day, zinnias were known as "old maids". I love them. You're place is beautiful.
Love your homestead, and family. :) can't wait to start our own soon! Thanks for being inspirational!
Hello, Bri, this Brother Mark from Bromark farms here in Crossville, Tn. we plant zinias also we plant marigolds also we have hollyhocks in our herb garden. We also plant mint along our grapes they control the japanese beetles and the june bugs. note* most of your flowers produce pyrithian that is a bug repellant or killer. Your vlogs are wonderful. May the LORD continue to bless your family. My wife Miss. Cindy and I pray for your family.
Beautiful flowers, beautiful place And beautiful, happy children! There is a special peace and level of achievement when you grow your own vegetables & flowers (I'm just getting started on flowers). Nothing beats being able to walk a few feet out to your garden to cut some fresh Thyme, Basil, Rosemary etc. Everyone should do it!
Made the butterflies rich, too. They're so happy!
greetings from Indonesian farmers
This was a really relaxing video. Very nice to watch.
What a beautiful family. The way you guys live is literally goals! God bless you! You’re rich indeed! I wish I could live like this in the future too
Yes sometimes its the simple things in life that really make you happy. Like a room full of flowers that you grew. Greetings I am Ronnie and I love visiting the NC mtns. I go their often. I am just about 2 hrs away from their. Anyways just found your channel. Talk to you later
Southern Food Junkie hi. Please check my new channel😊 maybe we can sub each other
Southern Food Junkie yeahh here in Philippines
Southern Food Junkie agree

Just love your Channel, you all inspire me every time I watch your Channel, if I was younger, I would have love to be able to live like you do, You are rich and blessed, carry on the great work you are doing.
Oh Bri...queen annes lace. I have milkweed in several of my gardens and people laugh at me. But the butterflies love AND need them so as I always tell people...a weed is just a perennial out of place! Your gardens, both flower and vegetable make me smile because no matter how much we do or don't do with the weeds...they ALWAYS grace us with something to marvel over and bring joy to our lives. Glad to see you vlogging today.
I like, a weed is a perennial out of place, I so agree !
I absolutely love everything about this video plus the bonus cuteness at the end 💚
What a beautiful life you made for yourselves!! I Love everything about the video, including Donald's much deserved swim in the pool. He works very hard. ;) Thank you for sharing you little slice of heaven. Love and Peace to you all!
Bri....gotta tell you....your videos have improved immensely! Short and to the point and most enjoyable to watch....and I am like you Zinias are my FAVORITE! They will actually reseed themselves (or at least the California Giants will) and when they come up each year I let them grow enough to get a few leaves then I dig them up and transplant them where I want them. I may have to plant the veggies but God plants the flowers in my garden :)
You are wealthy and very blessed that you have the wisdom to understand what true riches are. It took me years to begin harvesting seeds for the next year. It never ceases to amaze me how much life is in one little seed, totally miraculous. You have your hands full with two gorgeous little ones plus taking care of your goats. (I've always wanted goats and peacocks). Love your place and your spirit. Earth Angel!!
When I was watching you Bri I was thinking how does she do this with all 4 kids in the house? My 2, 4, and 6 year old would be tearing the house down while I would be outside. But I do the same thing you do! I lay them down for naps and then tend to my chickens, goats, and garden. I manage to get my devotions in at night when they are sleeping. It all works out!
I love that you love Anne with an "E"! I actually live on Prince Edward Island, the home of Anne! You all need to come visit! The Islands beauty described in L.M. Montgomery's books is totally accurate and even more wonderfully splendid in person. If you ever get the chance to come, we would love to show you the sights and secret spots the tourists only get to see if they have a great guide!
I've been there, you are so right, it's absolutely idyllic.
The black butterflies are so sweet! I have never seen so many black butterflies in one place before, all over your Zenius. Such a beautiful garden!!🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀
i love zinnias, they really bring in he pollinating insects too. they are very easy to grow. north carolina is so green CA is very dry during summer. i always plant marigolds in my veggies. ive never heard of blight. i never heard of zuchini beetles until two years ago because we never had them before. i find this puzzling. donald is having a wonderful swim! i feel rich when i can give my neighbors veggies from our garden.
I love this!
I can relate to the duck pool- we would scoop the water out and use it again on the garden or tip it out under trees. This time we're going to use a real 2nd hand bath and raise it slightly so that we can just pull the plug to empty it on the veggie garden.
And the kids are so sweet- a great life for them.
A very beautiful area, beautiful kind of life and beautiful you who apreciate the beauty of nature and its beatiful symplicity. I agree, indeed you are rich, very rich!
I ADORE zinnias! When I visited our kids' college campus (Go Herd!) one fall their ornamental zinnias had gone to seed to I plucked some and put in my pocket. I replanted the next spring and continue to save seed. It's pretty neat growing beautiful zinnias with meaning behind them. Our sunflowers were shotty this year.....only some grew at all and most were very small and just now starting to flower. My Dad passed on a year and a half ago and my kids and I plant marigolds (his favorite) at the cemetery. They are beautiful, useful, strong flowers! Congrats on your successful homestead! God bless!
Bri, I love watching you in the vlogs. You have such a beautiful smile and make me smile. You capture the true feeling of homesteading to me. tyfs Pat in NC
I agree with you about Zinnias. They are the best. Have you noticed that each year you plant seeds from the last year that more and more are pink, and less are yellow and orange? At least that happens for me. So every 4th year or so I buy a new package of seed to refresh my colors.
Mr. Donald was goin to town in that pool! Haha. Love the thought process behind homesteading making you rich. I totally agree with you!
I love your little homestead and your channel! We bought a 6 acre very neglected farm last year & I am so excited to get started!
An absolute adorable video! Thank you for making it. You are truly richer than 99% of the rest of us. Wish you the very best!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks like this. Thank you for allowing us into your family and for letting us watch your progress!
I would love to come and fold your laundry for you. It takes me back to the memories of folding laundry for my four kids.
I love seeing all the butterflies in your flower garden.
It's nice see the benifits of homesteading !:)
I’m 18 and this has been a little dream of mine for quite a while now. Maybe something on a smaller scale, but you are giving your children one of the greatest gifts by raising them in this environment and giving them nothing but love. This seems like a life that would be very beneficial to me given the childhood and upbringing i had which was in dangerous parts of cities and i missed out on a caring and care free atmosphere. I’m sure there are a lot of hard things you must deal with, but you truly are rich.
Pull up the plants and either seal them tightly in a trash bag, or secure them under black plastic, where the sun's heat can kill the spores. Do not compost blight-infected plants. Best solution out there and works quickly. You're basically smothering the blight. Oddly, this is also a situation where compost isn't a good thing around tomato plants.
Gary Hardin 어떤 플라스틱 종류지 black plastic
If the blight isn't too bad, then you can cover the plant itself with black plastic in the heat of the day, checking regularly so the plant doesn't bake, a little wilting doesn't hurt. For the really bad plants though pull them up completely and use the method of sealing them in black plastic to completely kill the blight. The compost around the tomato plants doesn't let the Sun do its job and kill the blight in the soil. Another way to help with this is use raised beds for your tomato plants again no mulch.
We live in a quaint little house in the city. I have a perennial garden at the front of our house that include an array of lillies and a hearty type of rose. Pollinators have enjoyed the roses very much. This year I plan to add another perennial garden along one side of our sidewalk that will include bulbed plants. I've been able to create some beautiful bouquets with the lillies that I have given to others.
A few years ago we gave one of the two parking spots up behind our home to create a garden. It is just 13' x 23' but I have been able to use vertical gardening for some things to maximize its space. I also use space along our chain link fence to grow climbing produce such as peas and green beans and have pots hanging at the top of the fence for other things. We have plenty of yard space that we could use too, but the trees around our yard keep it shaded most of the time.
Such a beautiful...and green piece of land! I'm in Oregon and its super dry and brown out here.
Rich indeed! Love your homestead, glowing enthusiasm. The quietness, nature, flowers and growing. Omg. Amazing! I LOVE your goats and dairy cow! I’m part way towards the lifestyle you have, just need a little bit more land and to get away from a horrid busy main road. Keep on being rich! Xx
I am happy for you you are really rich be happy and thank God good luck.
Beautiful!! 😍😍❤️ butterflies everywhere!! I'm in love with your channel. You're very good at filming videos. What a beautiful life!
You're back!!!! Yay! I missed you and all the kiddies!!!
Me too!!! And Bri looks radiant today!
Bri always looks "glowy" she surely is enlightened by our great Universe.
Zinnias are SO easy to grow! Including very drought tolerant. The only problem I have with them is powdery mildew, but that comes late in the season, after we've had three months to enjoy them.
LOVE that perspective about having flowers! Bouquets from the store are expensive. I never looked at it that way.
Really need a pond for those ducks and the goose.
Pool is better because you can clean it everyday. Ducks and geese make a huge mess out of a pond.
I smile when gathering from the garden!
Love your flowers & I also love "Anne with an E" --Gina
Wow ...you are my new favorite inspiration. You make me smile. I hope to have a homestead like that one day. Now I will be watching your other videos to find out how you started. Just a lovely video all around!
Thank you! Welcome to our channel!
If what you have right there is not Heaven, I don't know what is. You just took my heart back to my village in India where I lived this very life before leaving it in pursuit of money. Gosh, what I'd give to get all that back.
Telugu Desam Party Fans Forum ha ha ha ha ha ha you left paradise for money ha ha ha ha ha ha
Religion, fins something similar
No religion, i mean find something similar that Will make tout happy!
I like your harvesting basket. Your garden is really self sufficient, lovely place to be.
That looked like a banana pepper. Love your flowers!
This is beautiful, I am lucky enough to enjoy homegrown food from my father inlaws garden, right now I have berries, pumpkins and green beans in my freezer enough to last until the next harvest.your cut flowers are beautiful, the bees enjoyed them and now its time for you to enjoy them indoors.
That's so awesome. I purposely don't grow any flowers because they are not edible. Lol. I just enjoy the ones on my veggie plants before they turn into something useful like food.
If interested, you can eat hostas, dandelions and daylilly. Both flower and leaves are edible.. The hostas are delicious! Also the begonia, marigold and carnations flowers....enjoy!
And nasturtiums are edible too!
marigolds are actually edible too. They have been used to make tea I think.. but have not tried. lol yuck! :-)
I always grow marigolds, gladiolus, chrysanthemums, and cannas at the end of my garden. That end faces the road, and I always have people stopping to look, and tell me how beautiful my garden is.
My frugal life if you mix your edibles with edibles for bees you get a better crop.
I love your garden. Zinnias are my favorites. I grew them as a child at home and I continue to LOVE THEM!!
you literally have everything I want... even the mountain side landscape what state do you live in it's beautiful
Love your beautiful family and I'm very happy to hear you say how happy you are with your garden and your organic life style
"and of course fry it" amen :)
Gracey is a natural. She's got great instincts with both the animals and the plants.
Over here the volunteer tomatoes don't have blight and the non-volunteers have been sprayed multiple times with Patara's solution of baking soda, soap, and cooking oil. It works. Works also for the white powdery mildew on the squash and zucchini leaves.
The volunteers will be ripening late but that's okay.
Have you ever made refrigerator pickles? I see you have lots of cucs. It is so easy and they are delicious.
Zinnias are one of my favorites too. We have a huge patch of them. They are beautiful colors and the cut flowers last forever.
Such a pleasant video
flowers are heavenly! yours are so Beautiful! Your entire homestead is filled with life.
AND ....... LOTS of love as well!!!!
Absolutely!! You correctly defined 'RICH.' One does not need the toxic fiat dollar printed by the criminal federal reserve to be 'rich.' You and your family are indeed rich and blessed..
We are absolutely in love with WNC. We have been there twice this year and we are preparing to make a move from FL in less than 18 months.
Oooo! And your children are your richest blessing of all!
Lol, when I see my backyard garden in full production I feel rich. And blessed
You offered some nice tips that I did not know. Especially about the peaches. Thank you BRI. 🐓🐓🐓
My definition of rich is so much like yours, despite no longer having land, or even my own home I'm also rich in love and blessings but, so many of us can't afford to buy the land that it takes to homestead on . Nice goal to have but so few of us will realize the dream, especially if we once got close and lost it for reasons beyond our control. I've enjoyed see your joy exhibited in this video, especially because you have little children and there is no place better to raise children than on a healthy piece of productive land. Good for you for being willing to do the work, because it would not work for lazy people. Lovely flowers and food; may God continue in his grace and mercy He's poured out on you and your family and homestead.
So cute!! You can make money of your vegetables were i live NYC organic veggies are expensive. Berries are a good one to grow there expensive to buy.
I have noticed in the last few videos that the little one may have out grown his rash he kept getting on his face. Beautiful children.
What does your husband do for work? How much property do you own? How long have you lived on this property? How old are your children? Boys / girls? Do they help with chores? How did you acquire your property? Where do you live? As much info as you're comfortable with revealing would help a lot. Thanks for such a beautiful view of your country life.
Check out their web site and videos. Here you go. ua-cam.com/channels/WVCeqJ3lbpOrkZ4rleky0g.html
Enjoyed many long hours of watching Anne, with my daughter as she was growing up...It was our special movie snuggle up and watch on a cold day...
This is my dream life😀
You are all Blessed and Highly Favored! Love watching your channel, it's very enriching!
amazing life i wish someday my wife and I live the way you are living , where are you located ? you are our inspiration
I only just discovered your channel and must say I LOVE it! Great homestead you've got there. I agree with you about the zinnias, they keep forever in a vase. In our garden, the bees don't like the zinnias as much (maybe it's a hybrid variety?), they rather go for the mallows (which take over the entire garden... - but I can really recommend them, especially for the bee population). Best wishes to you from Germany!
I am so jealous of your life...i need this!
You are blessed with a beautiful homestead. I love how your animals are so well taken care of !
