How sweet to see tiny Buggy lower her head for prayer.
The mill sounds like a perfect project for you Ben.
@M C I noticed Buggy lower her head too... how precious:) In such an innocent Buggy move.
I so agree with you... but with this family I'm not surprised... thanks for saying that because that was what i was going to say.
Thank you for pointing it out. How adorable. What a family!
Biscuit was just so cute playing in front of the camera.
A grain mill!
How exciting. 👍
Looking forward to seeing tomorrow's video. Thanks for today.
Biscuit cracked me up 😂.
I have an old Singer, peddle sewing machine. It was my grandmother's. She wrote my name on a piece of painter's tape and stuck it to the bottom of it many years before she died so that everyone would know that she wanted me to inherit it. She bought it used before my Dad was born in 1935. It is my most prized possession
I understand the rain . we been getting it non stop also Just a little peek of Sun
So glad to see you vlogging more regularly again. Your family is really a delight to follow so thank you ❤️. Sending you prayers
A good barn cat has to maintain readiness. She has to face everything from exuberant toddlers, cunning rats, and packs of ravening wolves. And keep looking like there's not a hair out of place, and not breathing hard.
The best part of this whole video seeing that you have prayer with your family before you eat most families has lost that value in their homes it's good to see that there is still young people out there that knows to be thankful for what they have God bless your family and may you have many many blessings in your life
When lil baby sister makes sure her head is down to pray so sweet❤
Did you see the heart in the clouds at 2:03? Beautiful!
Yes, the blue sky heart! Good eye!
This kitchen never looks messy to me, it looks like a used kitchen that produces wonderful meals !
Kitchen of LOVE.
Nice to know you're helping Justin (aka:Justro). I think he has a wonderful vision in his mill project.
We had snow over the weekend…yuck! So ready for a warm up in Indiana. Happy Easter 🐣
A family that prayers together stays together. Love this family
Amen!
Buggy is so precious! Meg as usual dinner looked fantastic! I love seeing what you come up with for meals…so I can glean ideas for my dinner lol. Blessings guys🙏💖
For something to try next time we liked making turkey pot pies with leftovers. Meg makes her own dough left over turkey some garden fresh veggies (or leftovers ) cream sauce (your cow). Just an idea for thought. Also good with chicken and beef.
Seeing Biscuit seeing herself in the camera 🤗
We got hail with our rain, but we still have puddles in the yard. Our low last night was 30, but my tomatoes in my little Walmart greenhouse made it thru the night. I though the weather would turn warm by Easter, now it looks like I'll be waitnig for May Day. God bless & keep growing.
So EXCITING! It has even great to have you guys back on a regular basis.
Weather around here is so frustrating at this time of the year. Winter in the morning, summer at noon and winter in the afternoon again.
How awesome, a grain mill ! This will be great.
We had 2 inch of snow Monday, thankfully it did warmup and all melt.
I can't wait for tomorrow's video. This is so exciting. The absolute biggest "vulnerablility" of the entire homesteading movement, as I see it, is that you are all depending on the Farm stores for your animal food. The large grain producers are being paid right now to NOT grow grain but to leave their land fallow. You all need to act on this now... this spring for your survival. There could very well be no chicken feed or grain available by this coming fall. I am not saying this to create fear but to generate focused action in the right direction. I see this issue as one that is big enough to destroy the whole movement and I do so not want to see that happen. I am so happy for you to be a part of this. If I were in your spot, as in neighbors with Jason and Loraine, I would be talking with them about buying a tractor together and the equipment needed to, at least. grow flint corn and hulless (naked) barley, enough for chickens and pigs. Only milk producing cows need grain and I believe that with richer hay or pasture available to the them grain would not be needed. Cattle stomachs evolved to eat grass only not grain. P.S. Raccons do not like Flint corn . It's not sweet and it is hard.. Working around the "gully warshers" is quite unique to western NC and very different than living in California isn't it. Love you guys.
We made turkey and dumplings for dinner with leftover turkey
😋😋😋
Aww Biscuit playing was too cute.
Y’all have such a great channel. Your family values are so inspiring. Love to see young couples raising their kids in such an awesome environment and love that y’all always say grace. God bless y’all.
Please send the rain to western Texas. So far this year I have received under 0.19 of rain since Jan 1st. Driest start of the year for Del Rio in 115 years of record keeping.
So sorry... yes, drought is really tough. 😔
I'M BINGING HOLLARS TODAY! on the Whole 30 playlist. I love seeing some of the beginning of your journey. Also planting sunflowers and up potting too many tomato seedlings because I think they're all germinated. So I really like seeing Meg plant in tiny little pots because I'm in a one-bedroom apartment now after having a big Garden for the last couple of years before. Thank you Meg for the hopeful words
Great family to binge watch!!!
Never too late, and can't be too small. There's always a way glad to hear about you maximizing your current situation.
Biscuit was just entertaining us. He was really showing out!
Love that you teach your children to pray :) God bless you family.
Buggy is so doggone sweet and getting bigger everyday😘! That turkey dish looked so good! Ben, your new project sounds perfect🤗!
Your orchard down by the old farm house is starting to look good. That's a lot of rain. I'm glad you got the stanchion moved without dragging it through the mud. Happy cows. Milly is being sweet. Nice, meat chickens to butcher in two weeks! Yum, turkey tetrazinni! We smoked 3 , 4 lb. pork shoulder roasts from pigs we had raised for Easter since we had eaten all the hams we got from them. That was really good. My trifecta of leftovers from turkey is day one is open faced turkey sandwiches, next day is turkey soup, and the final day is turkey pot pie. Cool, Ben working on a grain mill! So fantastic! Thanks for taking us along. The turkey tetrazinni sounds wonderful. I'll have to add a day four to my turkey leftovers! Thanks for this Hollars!
The only turkey sandwich I like is made from leftover turkey. No nasty turkey lunch meat for me!
If it ain't raining it seems it's always windy as well,same thing been going on here,and the food looked yummy 👍😆...
In the UK a millwright was someone who could fix any machinery. Obviously mills have been around for millennia and were the first complex machinery so the name just stuck.
Sending love
Turkey/chicken tet. Is a favorite here. I send it with hubby when the guys go on their deer hunting trip.
we had 2 inches of snow ❄ this morning and it snowed yesterday to.
My hubster is a millwright 😊. He is now soon to be 65 and he's been millwriting for over 40 of those years! Awesome skills and I'm very proud of him. Loving all you all share from North Idaho 💚 🌻 🌿
if i lived a hundred lifetimes i would not learn all the dying art skills the previous generations could teach me....masonry, sheep shearing, welding/fabricating, thatching roofs, im sure there are so many more!!! i hope was able to part his knowledge to a young person who knows the value of skills that are going by the wayside
@@acornhomestead3575 👍🏼
@@acornhomestead3575 We are one generation from not knowing how to do anything for ourselves. At 68 I have seen a lot of skillsets fall to the wayside. These families give hope that the old ways will be preserved!
Another good idea for leftovers is turkey enchiladas! Of course with a spicey kick and Spanish rice and spicy beans! Easy peasey and oh so yummy!
Biscuit is so adorable!
Happy Easter , I’m getting meat birds in July ! Hugs !
Awesome. Thanks. Blessings
Need to catch some of that rain water for your garden
I love how much greener things look after a good ole rain!! Keep up the good work guys!! 👍💞💞💖💝💖💞💞👍
The weather is crazy. I put my boots away and it snowed last nite smh
Enjoyed the video
Biscuit is adorable for a cow loved watching her play to the camera Must be a thing you Hollars bring out in young females, lol .
Jason with Sow the Land might be interested in your chicken tractor design, their new property has uneven hilly areas, hard to pull thier current tractor. I see yours are better suited for that type land . Love watching y'all! Stay dry!.
I think buggy should make a vlog herself cuz she would be awesome
Try turkey enchiladas. It is our day after Thanksgiving must!
I'll be here tomorrow...so glad people need your expertise..
...speaking of machining and building. I just watched Sow the Land's latest before this and it's pretty darn obvious to me that you and Jason need to get on a cattle-line-winder-reel project. As always, thanks for sharing!
Wow you have a singer sawing machine like my grandmother’s, I learn to saw with one in Cuba when I was a child. That’s an precious antique!
Loved the video and looking forward to the next video. 🦋
I love your high tech chicken weigher! Happy Easter. 💕💕🌻🌻
We had a "weird day" due to 8" of snow....50 degrees sounded nice....
❤❤❤👍👍👍
Good to have a something for a weighing system 😀 👌
Your Little Buggy is such a precious sweetheart. You are truly blessed with 5 wonderful children.
Lol "not ready to hang up the jacket quite yet" whilst the young fella is standing behind in a Tee shirt, shorts and bare feet😊
Speaking of bare feet I have never understood these boys running around in wintertime barefooted and short sleeved!
@@susanlegear6302 ah well you see Susan, they are boys.
I spent most of my youth in shorts and tees and bare feet. Seldom felt the cold, when I did it was because I was wet and had stopped moving.
What doesn't kill you, will make you stronger.
Look at that sweet calf being all cute for the camera!
Keep the videos coming! Enjoy watching your life and journey
We have the same weather going on East - Upstate New York. We had two 80+ degree days and then it DROPPED down to the 40's!!! SNOWED last night and got down to 30!!! Today it felt like "chilled to the bone" even though it was in the 40's. WOW! No normal as far as weather anymore. I don't recall a time - EVER - when it has gotten THIS cold towards the end of April. Everything is so topsy turvey on this planet eh?
After thanksgiving I make a layered casserole called thanksgiving casserole. It is basically all the leftover dressing (cornbread apple onion), sauces (gravy and cranberry), a good amount of not sandwich turkey, and veggies with shredded cheese. Sometimes I get requests for that in the off season it's so good. Easy to make when I'm working on the carcass for broth.
Just thought about something, the table you eat on every day, is just a folding table, you have made beautiful home made wood furniture out of your own milled trees , why not make a table wife ., and maybe she can pass it down your daughter one day, again your very talented.
Hey Cool! Love Justin Metcalf. Want to see your collaboration for his grain mills! I want one so bad.🐓🐃🐖😊❤🙏🌷🌼🌷🌼🌷
I saw the handoff on Perma Pastures video and can't wait to see how you get to help Justin!
Love turkey tetrazzini!!!
Those meat birds are looking really good Ben and Megan. Our meat birds are about 6 to 7 weeks out from their date. We love tetrazzini but never tried it with turkey, that will be a meal to look forward to. Happy Easter to all of you and God Bless.
Low 50s -10 at night here at n western Manitoba Colorado lows and Alberta clipper coming through snow finally melting again today
Meg do you use the treadle sewing machine? I have my mother's old machine that is over 100 years old. I have been using it and it still sews good!
Still waiting for weather in the 50's here in NW Montana 🙄 But...I have spinach I winter sowed that I was able to transplant! Love your channel and watching all your progress
That is sooooooooooo funny our dogs are named Bisquit and Daisy............don't know why i didn't pick up on that before lol lol
Would splitting a PVC pipe in half and putting on the bottom of the sled stantion work better in moving it?
Aww the baby cow playing with us!!
🤣......Ben🤣.....If you stop petting her she'll CUT you!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i couldn't stop laughing!
Just came in from the Rain, I could hear the ice balls hitting the window all night!
Don't know how much Rain we got but it's got to be a Bunch 😱.
I love Turkey Tetrazzini 👍
JO JO IN VT 💕😄
Y'all work so hard!!
🙏🦋♥️
This is great information on weighing the meat birds to know when is best to send them to freezer camp. I sure wish I had room to grow meat birds. My family lives in the city and we have a little postage stamp backyard. I sure am trying to max it out with veggies and fruits. My husband keeps asking where am I going to put this or that. I tell him not to worry his pretty little head that I will take care of it. haha He knows I am kidding.
Send the rain our way GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY.
I'm still looking for a homestead sized grain thresher / winnower. something that could be like the one that was in Mother Earth News a few years ago, imported from asia...
Chicken are like being pregnant, the weight comes on at the end. Happy Easter back at you. What did you make for Metcalf mills???
I’m always planting and praying for rain. It’s so arid here in the high desert that fire season can be ruthless. I’d love a day of squishy mud and puddles. Such beautiful green.
Send the rain our way, northeastern New Mexico. We ‘re about to blow away!😢
Linda unfortunately isn't that region of the United States normally very dry. But really sad hearing that area is in such great need of rain 🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️☔🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Happy Easter Hollars 🙏💕
Those meat birds are quite insane the way they grow at the end. You really have to send them to freezer camp ... not doing so would be cruel as they start to fail. They're just not 'natural'... BUT.. they are tasty. 😋
I really loved watching your calf playing! That was just way too cute. He sure is a pretty calf. I'm so glad he settled into your routine so easily. ~ Can't wait to see what part your skills will play tomorrow in the building of this new piece of machinery.
Thanks for sharing! Today we’re getting lots of wet snow in Alberta, Canada, but we need the moisture & not complaining! Glad your doing so well with your homestead! 🤗❤️🇨🇦
Biscuit is so cute for the camera 🐮
I love your channel. I say it in every comment and perhaps you tire of seeing it, but I truly do. Your family is so great. I love how the boys are in there helping in the barn, with the animals, in the kitchen, with Buggy, etc. You're raising some great humans, Meg and Ben! I'm enjoying going back and re-watching some of your videos from your cross-country trek... well, mostly all of the videos.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow's video now. It'll be neat to see.
Take care,
Heather🇨🇦
Is that Ben playing the guitar in the background? I saw a couple videos of him playing and he is great! He should play for us! Right everybody??? Video please Ben!
Happy belated Easter y'all! We had our traditional spread with one new item, Meg's simple bread recipe for rolls and I whipped up some cinnamon raisin bread for dessert. That bread is addictive! Thank you for sharing it with all of us! It's now our daily bread and it's saving me hours of time. ❤️
On an aside that is slightly related, there is a show called The Chosen, they have a yt channel but the actual show is free for streaming on their own app. It's the story of Jesus and His Flock. It's so well done, even my edgy teen is loving it. I can't recommend it enough; if you're so inclined and have the time, check it out, it's worth it! It makes Jesus and The Apostles so relatable.
Lovely vlog.
Can’t wait yo see the Mill footage. Sounds very interesting. ❤️
We had pot roast and potatoes for Easter. I just put Shepard’s pie in the oven for tonight. I’ll have to try the turkey dish you mentioned.
I always do turkey tetrazzini with the leftover bird at Thanksgiving. Buggy is growing up soooo quickly.
That looks so good! Thank you.
