    You should do an apothecary in depth series about herbs, tinctures, balms and the like. That was a lot of information to digest in such a short time and I’m sure that is just scratching the surface.

    What an amazing video. I have been rivetted to my screen, oblivious to anything else...lol!
    What a life you have created for yourselves. Yes, it is hard work but, it is rewarding work. You have figured how to best use the seasons to get everything done or, maintained. I love that you have acknowledged the importance of having just enough chickens to manage. Many people, homesteading, are taking on too many chickens and their chicken coup looks sad and not clean. They are livestock and require adequate attention to be healthy so, good for you. I also enjoy your cook outs. You have learned to embrace all aspects to having a varied, active life and this is so great for your daughter. See how excited she was to help in the kitchen when you were going to serve the chocolate bread. Loved that. Each of you are contributing with what you are good at.
    I love the shelves, in the kitchen. Trouble is, I would become paranoid about using my supplies and seeing empty spots...lol.
    Thanks, guys. I had a fun time, all the way in Ontario, Canada.
    Cheers to all of you❤

Just met a new resident of north Florida at the grocery store checkout who recently moved from Alaska and used to sit in the bleachers with Sarah watching their boys' hockey games!
