    Hi Pete! Don't ever think that people get tired of watching the every day, monotonous chores like feeding and watering the animals! It never gets old, or boring. Not for us watching. ❤

    Something new, engage the brain. So true Pete. I started my work career as a banker, worked for a year in a fast food bar, switched to computer operator, then purchased my first business at 23, a takeaway bar (fish and chips.). That morhed into a year working for a forestry contractor, which lead to me owning and running a business providing labour to big forestry players in New Zealand. After that, several years owning and operating an early childhood education centre. In my mid 40's, commenced six and a bit years at uni, one undergrad and three post grad degrees later, I'm a Psychologist. Now in my mid 60's I'm thinking a couple more years of Psychology then back to the bush to finish my life working on predator control in our native forests. Life is joy and excitement.

    Hey Pete,
    Watching this video , started a conversation between my wife and I, I don't know if you thought of or mentioned this , but now that you are restoring the truck, it would be cool when you're done , to put your logo on the side, and drive it to the farmers market.
    We know that whatever you do, will be fun for all of us,

I always put me in a good mood, but I am now 80 years old and know that none of my family will ever go this way not like the farm life like I did don’t repair any old tractors like I did so this truly is a dying way of life Especially with my family. I feel sorry for him because I know there’s a lot of quite good things out here to learn, but they’re always in a hurry so I’ll watch the videos when they come out and enjoy them thank you so I’ll watch them by myself. Thank you, Pete and Hillary

    Well Pete you've done it again !! Yep! you sure did!! You just made my day!! once again, I loved the short shots of silence and just scenes from the farm. I spent the last 28 yrs in business installing Satellite systems. but prior to that spent 15 yrs as a hay Dealer. so got to see at least 3-5 farms a week when I bought hay. and I miss not seeing them. but most of all the people the farmers and their familys. Broke many a bread with them. after loading my truck it was a rule to eat a meal with them 90% of the time they would be insulted if we did not sit down at theri table so had sooo many delicious meals and good times with them. I really miss that. the "Human touch" . Luckily I live in farm country. got a farm less than mile form me. I'm on an old farmstead. so happy here with that. I know how hard it is to make a video. so I reallay appreciate what you do to give a a good one each time and you are successfull Thank you soooo much and God Speed. ECF

Building new housing isn't a bad thing but I do believe American style suburban sprawl is because of it's endless appetite to gobble up farmland.

    Hey Pete, you just described me PERFECTLY at the 17:05 mark!
    I too, love to build things, but am also not much of a "maintainer".
    Once something is built, I will move on to another project, but when it comes to maintaining something I built, I find myself dragging my feet.
    Along those same lines, I love to do the "building or constructing" part, but I am not to hip on the PAINTING and FINISHING part!
    It just seems so mundane to me.
    Even when I was building cabinets, all was fun and games until I had the boxes complete! The finishing part was such a headache for me!
    Anyway, I loved the video, and it makes me miss being at my property. The holidays really interfere with my time at the farm.
    I am looking forward to cutting some trees and work on some more habitat projects, weather permitting!
    Take care of yourself and Hillary!

    "Be still and know thyself." Ah ... the quiet of winter, especially the first snowfall, the chill in the air, the crunch of snow under boots, a cup of hot tea or cocoa, delicious homemade soup, the crackle of a live fire, the aroma of burning wood, the bright, crystal clear night full of sparkling stars, children making snow angels ...

    I absolutely enjoyed this video, Pete. It's so peaceful and relaxing to watch you and/or Hillary with the animals. I will never tire of it. I hope civilization doesn't encroach on your farm. When my husband died, I thought I was selling my farm to an individual, but it turned out to be a developer. When I realized that, I tried to back out of the deal, but they said they would sue me. Now my former farm/woodland is a subdivision. It kills me to see it. 😢💔

    Hi Pete and Hillary, this is my favourite kind of video where we get to be an audience to your heart and your mind where you walk through your farm explaining your thoughts and your processes because not a lot of us live on farms and farm life is a certain kind of way it’s good and it’s tough and most people in the world’s. Their jobs are at an officer in the community, which is a whole different world from a farm a Homestead anyway my heart is full after watching your video. Thank you so much for sharing your days with us and even trying new things that would stimulate you. It’s very creative and effective and I’m sure I speak for everyone that we appreciate youboth. Thank you.
