    I have to admit, as this world grows darker by the second and everything in the news dips to a new low, daily, I find myself anticipating your videos every day. It's a sweet and humorous escape from all the darkness. Love you guys and God's greatest blessings and protection on each of you! Happy Resurrection Sunday.

      The last three of those boxes for the raised beds are not lined up with the string (16:45). I'm going to notice that when I look at their homestead on Google maps once the satellite images are updated. LOL Looks like Jeremy got a little too hurried towards the end.

That said, I get Jeremy’s need to have everything perfect. I’m the same way with everything I’m building, renovating. They did an awesome job on the garden.

    Your youngest boy seems to be the one who is the most helpful, and clingy to mom and dad. He seems already to have develop a great character, and the willingness to learn and help. I can see he does it all on his own without you asking him to help out. I just love how much he is loved and the many hugs his mom gives him.
    I just love watching your videos and the progress your making on your beautiful homestead. What a backdrop and surroundings you have with mountains and streams in abundance. Nature at its most beautiful... It truly is "Gods recreation of a new day."-Cat Stevens

He wants to build it right the first time so he will not have to do it a second time. He is building a home for his family and any future family that might live there. He wants it safe. Yall do great work together. Loved seeing your little helper. They need to be involved some in building their home. So enjoying the journey with all of you. Love all of you.

I used to have a garden about half the size of yours but the last year I had the garden I had too many rattlesnakes & getting around in braces & a cane I decided it was too dangerous & high risk living alone.

    After spending a lifetime in the construction industry, most of our injuries came near the end of the day or week when we were exhausted. We'd let our guard down on safety just a little bit just so we could finish at the job site and head home. 😉 I need to start transplanting my little plants into larger pots today. Thanks for encouraging the rest of us gardeners. 😉
