Austin is the one to take over the farm. I have thought this for years. It never hurts to get a college degree, give children time to mature, think on there own and appreciate there upbringing.
Wow!! Austin did a terrific job cleaning the pool. She’s a hard working young lady.
I was raised on a small farm very similar to yours but in south eastern KY. My father depended on me nearly as much as your husband depends on your son but, when it came time for me to decide whether I went to college or not and what it was I wanted to do, (I had no idea) my Dad was the first to say, "go to college now 'cause if you wait, you never will". On his advice I went to college and I worked on the work/study program where I met an electronics engineer who got me interested in radio and TV. I worked a small radio station in our home town and my Dad was so proud of me and would tell people that was his son on radio. Later I moved on to television production and spent 30 years as a television producer and never returned to the farm. Dad died before I succeeded in my career but he was so very proud of what I did and who I became. Good for y'all!
That happened to my family. We, oursleves had a well established farm, a turn-key operation for us boys to take over. Same with my cousins on my aunt and uncles farm. Not one of the children wanted to farm. I was too young to speak up and to this day, I miss farming.
How can you tell when LB is grumpy? I’ve watched your videos for at least five years and I think I can count on one hand the times I’ve seen him smile. 😊
Your daughter is a peach. Hard working young woman polite. Both your children are. They're a lot of young people that could learn from them. Stay safe Mr. And Mrs. Thank you for the videos. I've had a bad day trying how to get my son a vehicle since his blew up yesterday and started his internship yesterday at college. This video took away some tension. Ty. God bless you all.
That young lady has the right to learn that life isn't always pleasant. But she definitely has learned to finish even the miserable jobs at her best.
When I got our new shopvac, we also purchased a pump we can attach to the bottom which we can attach a hose to and pump out the shopvac.
At 6:04..Bonnie has earned the right to sleep/supervise in the kitchen. Such an integral part of your family now taken over by Duke, while she enjoys her twilight years.
Talking from experience Wes needs to do something he enjoys. It's called work, so you might as well do something you enjoy. You never know, he may come back and realize how much farm living really meant to him.
Your daughter did an amazing job on the pool
From past farm experience, the only time a pin or shaft slips out is when you do not want it to!
Duke looks like a deer. Lawrence works so hard. God bless him.
Mama,
Our kids will grow up to be what they want. But like my son who got a law degree, turned around does his law and lives on his farm. You made the roots, let them grow.
Big hugs and believe,
Arbuckle Oaks 😊
I grew up with four older sisters. And when I would start bugging them. 8:04 and just being a pain. My dad was a electrician, and jars full of nuts, bolts, wire nuts, you name it he had it. He would poo the jars out, I'd have to, sort them all out. 😢 but besides all the chores. Feeding watering the stock. Best life ever. Loveved Rodeoing, the most. I love watching your show. Reminds me a lot of my past. God bless each and every one of you.
I used to clean pools up to 100,000 gallons in Dallas, Tx. and certified. I was a Maintenance Tech. They way we cleaned them was to connect the pool hose to the skimmer while the pool had water. The hose was connected to a pool head kind of like a vacuum cleaner. The pool motor would suck the leaves or dirt or debris from the bottom and wall sides as you guide the vacuum hose. After cleaning the pool you would backwash your pool filter to a drain or in your case the grass or lawn. It is so easy Merdi. There's also Pros that do a great job for good prices that will service your pool annually.
I love watching you cook work on farm
Gooood evening from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great night!
Don't change a thing, Meredith ... it's all part of your charm! 🥰
Your honesty is what we love about you👍 thanks from Colorado
I love hearing you speak and your hair style is called a hot mess when my wife was alive I loved her hot mess hair style
I was an engineer and also farmed part time for 40yrs. My jobs combined elements of both Mechanical and Electrical engineering. It was a good career choice. Never worried about having a job and pay was good. Also with an engineering degree you can move into lot of other job fields. You will find engineers in all kinds of other fields. I know other farmers in my area who got degrees and worked off farm but returned home because they decided that was what they
really wanted.
Maybe Austin will be the farmer. I know a woman who took over the family farm. She raises Purebred Herford cattle
Tip on using the airfryer-Cover your grease tray with aluminum foil. Makes clean-up easy. Pour off the grease and throw away the foil, done!
Good evening Merdie and Family
Ahh Austin did a awesome job on cleaning the pool 😊
Y’all are amazing parents to support your children in whatever life leads them and God of course to choose a profession that they choose to do ❤
As always your dinners look so delicious and your family is lucky to have a wonderful mom that loves to cook for them ❤
And know matter what some might comment about you Merdie don’t pay them know never mind because you’re just Beautiful and Awesome the way God ment for you to be 🤠 and I thank God I can call you my friend ❤ Thanks for always bringing a smile to my heart and that goes for the whole Family ❤
Y’all take care Always 🤠❤️😘 Love Y’all
I agree with you about wanting your children to pursue their dreams. My parents were that way and my wife and I did the same! I love your channel! God bless!
way to go Wes, my wee boy did 3yrs community college and than 2yrs university for his civil engineering degree, just graduated honors and was hired by a firm locally before his last exam was done
Love that! Congrats to him and you both!
@@ThisFarmWife_ Thanks Mer, the firm said farm kids are most sought after in the trades, especially when the kids have good ethics and morals, like your Wes n Austin
Watching your poochie, jumping through the grassy knoll, reminds me of a cat we had by the name of scooter, who done the same doggone thing, all the way down through the field, and while I was down there picking blackberries, hate sneak through the grass and the blackberry bushes, the next thing you know I'd reach for a blackberry and I felt Paw, gently slapping at me. !! Little stinker. ! Then we had a dog that recalled Jack. He was a cockapoo. He'd run down through the field too. Mostly when he saw a plane in the air and he'd bark at it while he was running and jumping. So we called him jack. - Jack the ripper - jackazz 😮. He even stole the turkey out of the oven one time when my mother had been basting it. He turned around to put the turkey back in the oven. And he done grabbed it. I never thought I'd ever seen my mother fly throughout the whole ground floor of our two-story ten room home where the broomstick in her hands and give me back that bird. I said mother. Now that you got the bird back what do you tend to do with it. She said well he's not going to get it. We all laughed and we said well we definitely don't want it. BWAHAHA ! GOOD THING WE HAD CORNISH HENS IN THE OVEN AND A DUCK TOO. 😂
LOVE YOUR POSTINGS LOVE YOUR FAMILY HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND. ❤
When I was young I’d get some tuff jobs and would be vocal. Finally when I was 16 I realized that those jobs still were mine, I learned how to do it better, shut up so it went quicker, and when done right you felt like you accomplished the goal.
Keep the shop vac outside the pool by using the hose, then drain it or tip it over if you don't have a drain, hopefully you have a longer one. But by this time it's all clean so for next year :)
Thanks for sharing the video Meredith. It's always something when you are working on a piece of equipment. Whole lot of learning as you go. Glad Austin got the pool cleaned out. That's a major job. Awesome about Wesley starting college courses. I'm with you on let them do what God has in store for them and they might stay close by and help on the farm only time will tell. As we know farming is a good life not the best living. Hope Lawrence gets the front end fixed and good luck to you with everything you have going on. Take care.
Thank you so much!
Hey Austin, you did an amazing job cleaning the pool. Betcha you can't wait to get it filled up and have some fun. It'll be worth it on those hot summer days.
Possibly a groove worn in the pivot pin, and if so, that tiny 'lip' of the groove will essentially force everything to be lined up perfectly in order to slide back in.
Happy Mother's Day. I hope you have a great day with you and your family!
Thanks so much!
I think it’s smart to go to community colleges. It doesn’t make sense to go to an expensive college and owe all that money when there might not be a job when you graduate. 👍👏
And P.S........ Until you get those instructions, you may not know what you are doing. Great job to your husband... 💪💪💪💪
Hi Meredith!! Watching Duke leap through those weeds is hilarious!! He looks like a cartoon character lol!! 😂 🤣💜
Hello! I discovered your channel by subscribing to Sandi Brock's channel. It's good to hear a local accent! I grew up in the southern part of the county and really miss living in the country. I've subscribed and will be checking with you daily!
My son in law got a degree and worked a good job for several years before he felt like he needed to return to the ranch. My daughter was hesitant to become a ranch wife at first. You couldnt drag either one of them off the ranch now. They have 4 girls and love the ranch life. Theres always hope that they will return.
Funny thing , I had a big dream to get away from the farm , after college and 24 years of media , I came back , It never really leaves ya ~ The farm ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I enjoy your videos! It's fun to watch someone else's life! Thank you!
Love how you are always looking on the bright side Meridith ,when others are grumpy! It's easy to absorb " grumpy " ! Know what it's like to get grumpy I was a equipment mechanic for 30 yrs , and worked on horse farms ..your a breath of fresh air ...y'all take care , ps our weather has been nuts lately!! 91 the other day , 50 deg today , ...
Thank you. It feels so good out there this morning!
Mother’s Day blessings dear
Good for Wes. I’m glad he has a plan for his future 😊 Blessings to the Bernard family❤
Good evening from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures in life and your farm
Thank you Meredith, for another great video. I never tire of watching Bonnie watch you cook. (she wants you to drop a morsel of anything) Wow, you are cooking several meals! You look great as usual and Lawrence looked befuddled but now appears to have defined his problem. There is always something that needs fixing on the farm as I remember it. Happy trails.
My friend has an engineering degree from Olemiss,, enjoyed his life, made a great living for his family,,, retired, traveling the world!!! Have a dream!!! Have a plan!!! Trust God!!! Have fun!!!
Thanks Meredith!! Sounds like Wesley has a good idea. God Bless him in whatever he chooses to do!! Austin really did a great job on the pool!! Like the cooking I love to cook!! Baking too love making bread!! Y'all have a great night!! Gods Blessings be with Y'all always!!!
Get a longer hose at 2nd hand store for wet vac....leave wet vac on outside of pool and run longer hose to inside part of pool .... will be easier to empty wet vac....hope this helps.
Happy Mothers Day !!👋👋❤️
Seeing Austin get a littlee mad reminded me of those times with my daughter😂. She's a hard worker! Three days...oops😂 Love watching your real life!❤
Happy Mother's Day ......... MB ..
Thank you so much
Duke out there in the grass makes me think of a mule deer hopping as they go.
I'm a little surprised that Wesley isn't planning to take over the farming. I've thought he was sort of been working toward that. What ever he decides to do, I'm sure he will do well at it. He seems to be a pretty intelligent young man. I wish him the best.
Thank you!
I grew up on a farm like Wesley is and decided to do Civil Engineering so I could still work outside.
Austin did a great job cleaning the pool,such a sweet young lady
Feeding the crew is a big help. Meredith ❤
I love watching your dogs, they are silly lol
Austen did an amazing job!
Hey gorgeous dont make fun of him. Its a learning experience. Good luck Mr. Lawrence. Hope that works for you buddy. Ive been there done that.
Thank you for sharing your adventure. Blessings
Thank you so much for this video. I always enjoy them and you got some great children. They are awesome hard-working and you are too. You’re a hard worker and so is Lawrence love watching you guys❤ I love watching your videos Duke is so awesome just jump through there. He has so much fun jumping in that grass Meredith, you are an awesome lady and don’t let anybody tell you you’re not your personality is super cool yeah❤
I've worked on those 555 fords before doing the same thing LB is doing. sometimes its a bear of a job and sometimes a piece of cake. What happens in some cases is the pin gets wear spots on it and it starts to look like a cam shaft with lobes worn into the pin. And some have thrust washers on them that will wear into those groves and falling into the groves to create a locking situation while trying to pull the pins. Bushings get worn out and try to walk out those pin bores as well. It takes a lot of patients. The axle will try to flip over if you raise the tractor too high to replace those bushings. Take care as to use jackstands on both sides if the axle so it can't flip over and hit you in the jaw or your head. It hurts. Ask me how I know. Short cuts aren't always the best way to go. By now you have fixed your tractor. Wish I could be there to help you in person. I started my career working on Ford tractors and worked till I couldn't do it any more. But I have a lot of busted knuckles behind be to help someone else. I started in '78 out of high school worked until My body said no more. That was in 2004. Good luck LB those tractors are very heavy and can fall very quickly. Cylinders leak down fast too. Use multiple jack stands or square cribbing to support the equipt. You work under....your family needs their daddy, husband, best friend,brother, and Son. and some day grandpa. GOD BLESS this Bernard Family in JESUS' NAME; AMEN. ✝🛐✝🤗🤗🤗🤗
Your parenting is beyond reproach!!!❤
Oh my goodness, Austin has quite a bit of perfectionism and takes pride in her working, riding etc. It’s definitely not a bad thing, I mean she did a fantastic job cleaning up the pool. It looks spick and span. Austin, when you do a job right the first time like you did and do then you don’t have to go back and do it again. You sure take a lot of pride in whatever you’re doing and that’s something to be proud of. Sure don’t see that much these days. LB it seems at times that it’s not going to work, but as much as you have pulled apart and put back together you always get it working again. My husband gets in this position and asks God to show him what he needs to know and sure enough he gets an answer. Maybe not that minute but he gets the answer. Don’t we all get a little grumpy from time to time, I know that I sure do. Engineering for Wesley, I am surprised however, my husband is retired but worked at the same company for 45 years as an electrical engineer and ran hard money projects. I believe Wesley will do great at it. He’s quiet, has a great work ethic and definitely a thinker, that’s my husband also. No doubt about he will do amazing and even getting to go earlier to community college just blows me away. I’m so happy for him. My husband was one of the companies top electrical engineers there (yep, I’m bragging on him). I met him at the company back in 1980. I did the whatever needs done job because I was so grateful to have a job making 3.25 an hour. I took classes at work for autoCad then I got into autoCAD around 1988? It seems like they always put me on his projects. He was my boss and then there was another boss above him. People would say I don’t know how you can work together. It didn’t bother me nor him. I just did my job and went home to my husband and would have to remind him at home occasionally that he needed to leave the boss part at work. 😂 We were in the petrochemical business, engineering, construction, fiber optics, etc.. I really did love my job as an autoCAD designer and especially all of the family that were friends that I worked with until 1994. I hurt myself and ended up with a disease called RSD/CRPS. It took forever to be diagnosed, even though it’s been around since the Civil War. I would say that 98% of doctors know nothing about it to this day. It literally took 2 1/2 years to get diagnosed after countless medical tests. I finally had to go on disability because the pain was so severe and that basically put me into depression. If you look at me, you would think that there’s nothing wrong with me, but there is a lot of severe pain. I finally received help in 1997 praise the Lord. Anyway I can’t wait to see which direction Wesley is going to take. Meredith, you were talking about the whisk and your mind is on so many things. That’s when I say my head is spinning and it surely has been this past month. Would you please put your brown gravy recipe on your recipes online. I’m 63 and I can’t remember if I’ve ever made it and I sure could use it especially now. Thank you so much for cooking, calling Duke the high jumper, sure makes me laugh, sharing family and cooking.
Merideth we had the most beautiful northern lights and immediately I said “I see you God” thank you for saying that phrase I say it numerous times a day.❤️✝️
And I’m soooo upset I didn’t know they were going to be here! 😫😭 I was asleep. The photos I’m seeing are amazing. I’m so glad you got to them and see God in them!
We got them in the UK too. Never seen them before,sooo spectacular. Greens and blues and purple and reds across the whole sky.
I also find myself saying ‘ISYG’😊.Wes will be a massive success at whatever he chooses to do.
@@ThisFarmWife_You may have another chance tonight. There was another X,-class flare Friday evening, takes 18 hours to get to earth.
Well that's awesome he got it figured out that's half a bottle thank you for the video
11:29 ba ha ha ha this scene made me laugh so hard Meredith! 😂😂😂😂 your eye roll at the end sealed it 😂😂😂
Lol
Don't be a bit surprised if Austen is the one that takes hold and wants to continue the operation . I've had several girls that worked on our farm over the last 10 years or so and I'll tell you they do just as well or better than the boys.
Love the Bernards.i don't know if you will find this helpful for future reference but I found this on UA-cam,Ford Tractor Hydraulic Problems-How to Replace Pivot pin,type in that and DHammiam,I know it's fixed for now but may be a help? For the future,love the channel,Godbless y'all🙏💪always enjoy your vlogs.😊
Pool looks good Austin, your a real trooper. I used to clean out our above ground pool each spring so I know how ya feel. Proper PH and chlorine content makes for better cleaner swimming. Have a great weekend Bernards. Duke prancing through the high grass is funny, he's a happy boy.
He’s so funny! Thank you. She did a great job
LA KNOWS HE WANTS THE MEAT HE SWEATED FOR
Can you take the bucket and get all the weight off it to front wheels and make it easier for that PN to go in similar thing on a tractor work three days we finally fixed it might not be the same on backhoe
👍 my thoughts exactly
I think I can see Austin running the farm
She's doing fine.She's just a young little girl
Happy mothers day
About the pin on the backhoe since it was partway out, it probably wore a groove on the pin itself, not allowing it to go back straight. You’re probably gonna have to take it out clean up the pin and put it back.😊
Look into Rose Hulman college in Indiana they may offer Wesley a scholarship. It's a top notch Engineering college.
My nephew and niece went there.
Aerospace can help with his degree as a Aerospace engineer I know many people have done it!
I know Lockheed Martin dose it that's where I worked
I suspect you haven't heard that auto-steer/gps all across the northern latitudes have been dropping out because of solar flares.
Meredith, you wear green so well... looks great with your fake tan..( just kidding about the fake tan).. like you'd have time for that... ha ha.. and keep informing us on your writing and speech gigs.. they sound interesting too... love the videos... keep them coming..!!!!
If that pin goes all the way threw he could use an enascope to check the hole for alinement
Tell Austin that she did a fabulous job. It was nasty, but she was the only tough & dedicated enough to do that job. That's awesome.
I understand Lawrence's frustration on that job. It should be easy, especially according to everyone else & maybe if he could get an extra mechanical hand out there to help & get a fresh set of eye's, things will click. It's always frustrating when an easy job is hard. he'll get it.
Dinner looks good. I don't like egg plant (looks like rubber), but that dish looked tasty.
I used my 14 gln shop vac but I left the vac outside the pool and just unscrewed the drain cap when it got full. Actually worked really well but is was time consuming.
😍Lookin Good.
Even though it has been many moons since I was a teenager myself, I know that for most teens and more so those that grow up in rural areas aka on farms,,, all have a certain look on things. It is best for them to figure out how best to fully complete a task via their own methods, than to always have an adult always telling them how to do it. This allows them to get their own thought process of how to look at difficult tasks and to figure out how to solve the task all on their own. This gives them life lessons they seriously need . There will be tasks in life that they have to face without anyone else around to solve the issues for them. Just as with LB, at times he has to figure out what is causing equipment to not work correctly then he has to repair it. Wes will soon find that he must do the same if he decides to stay with the family farming lifestyle.
Great video Meredith. Sometimes something simple can be a real pain when it comes to working on equipment. Take care and have a blessed and safe weekend
It always seems worse when Wesley isn't there to help mechanic on stuff
Great video today God bless
You should make it a salt water pool
Eggplant dish looks really good
Stupendous Wesley. Good luck lad.
Merdi, I think your man is bully enough to take a little ribbing about some project he's found himself roped into . I believe he's been bully on projects a long time now. I'm very sure he loves your support, even if it comes in laughter, keeps the farm runnin' smooth. Bless y'all.
It took Men like Lawrence to build this Country
❤️
Beautiful❤
Pool looks great
School First.. Farm later..🙂 God bless to your son.
iam studying mechanical engineering.:) But I will farm as a secondary job.
Love watching you
The drawling’s on all of the equipment by all manufactures it’s hard to determine things little details and the position of where parts are it’s difficult trying to understand where they say everything goes. That’s why UA-cam is so special. You can watch somebody put it together hopefully the right way.
You should do something something special for Austin since she done a wonderful job of cleaning the pool.
can't be a squirel nest, duke is not barking at you lol
Awesome video Meredith
