    Looks like a way better situation! Good luck on the move and settling in, looks like you'll have some fun there with that view of farm life nearby. You'll get there when the timing's right 👍

    I’m glad I found y’all now, can’t wait to learn and see how y’all over come new obstacles. This is our first year growing a real garden and animals. We too started a UA-cam channel and are slowly doing videos of our learning process and adventures in homesteading.

I am thankful for that time and with a lot of prayer I have the homestead I had wanted for a very long time. God works things out. I am so happy for you guy back home. I am sad I never got to meet you in Oklahoma! But some day I want to meet y’all! May God bless you and I am so excited to see you take a blank canvas and create a work of art! I can’t wait!

    Now to something more positive and exciting….gardening! You have a beautiful blank slate and flat backyard. Not to mention a possible endless supply of horse manure😉.

    Shootings are scary, and when it happens so close to home, its pretty hard to shake. There was a school shooting in the school district my husband and I attended growing up (after we had graduated, married and started a family), and it was a deciding factor for homeschooling our children, who would have otherwise attended that district when they were old enough, and ultimately it was one factor that did affect our decision to move away from the area. In our case, we moved away from where we grew up.
    You did the right thing for your family right now. For now, focus on the new possibilities and what you can do with what you have, and keep looking for that perfect land. You will get there one day, maybe even sooner than you think. Now you can breathe a little easier while you pursue those dreams.
    Sending virtual (hugs). If its ok, I'll light a candle for peace for you.

    The micro tomato plants like Micro Tom stay a cute size maybe they could go in a front yard or berries or a pollinator garden?I don't have a hoa but I have been working on doing an edible landscape style in the front rather then straight up garden beds. Love your channel, sorry you had crazy stuff happen at your old house!

      Yea im so glad we moved, a house 4 houses down got raided on the 15th and they found over $30k worth of fentanyl pills in the house, guns, and multiple thousand dollars of dirty money. They even have small children living there. I'm so angry to know my children lived so close to that.

  • @isarose3136
    @isarose3136 2 роки тому

    I am sorry to hear you had to leave. I cried at the part where you talked about your not being ready to leave. We had a 10 year old homestead in Northern Calif. and the fires drove us out. We are now in suburbia as well, on .25 ac. and we're planning fence, probably quail (because there are loads of regulations around chickens) and lots of veggies. We have quite the deer population in our neighborhood though, so no front yard gardening for us....It will be interesting to see what you create.

    • @aquaseahorselove3939
      @aquaseahorselove3939 2 роки тому

      Are quail not counted as livestock? The city allows quail without special permits and coop arrangements?
      Where I live we’re allowed 4 hens. I can’t find any info about quail though.

      I’m in 9b and it’s surprising how limited we are. Nobody considers what it’s like to garden in 110F. It’s terrible. I wish I was in zone 8 ALL THE TIME. 😂

    NEVER STOP DREAMING!!!!! When people say your crazy when you tell them your dreams/goals, Just remember they're not their dreams/goals they're yours. Then you ask them what their dreams/goals are. I'm 63 years old and my dreams/goals have changed many times over the years. Every time they've changed God showed me that I wasn't dreaming big enough...
    Remember that every change is bringing you closer to reaching your dream. Keep your trust in GOD and remind GOD of your dreams every now and then. I helps build your spiritual body stronger.....
    I got so much I could say about living out for the dreams/goals God has put in your heart for you to work toward. My dreams keep getting bigger the older I get and I dare not tell my wife of 43yrs. any more about them. Because she tiered of hearing it... She sees that right now I physically incapable of reaching my dreams/goals and I tell her that GOD ain't finished with me yet....
    Be blessed my young one in Jesus name... BBE..
