I totally understood musical cows! Mine was musical kids, then musical grandkids, now musical dr appointments! As I age the “chairs” change! lol. I loved your analogy. ❤❤❤
Çity girl here – was at first a bit miffed – what do you mean you just didn't feed Freya at night??? I thought "how cruel"… Then had a little head slap…duh… she's got all that luscious grass to graze on all day…you just didn't give her EXTRA.😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Happy birthday Jackson. Hope you had a blessed day with all the people you love. ❤

Happy birthday to Jackson! My son Noel turned 25 today the 9th as well ♥️
So many great helpers. Love how you are teaching them ea day. Plus you get quality time with them. Great bonus for parents…
Do you guys still have the coffee shop/ roaster? Did you end up going forward with the farm store that you guys had planned on doing?
Happy Birthday Jackson!!
Great helpers! Have a great year, Jackson! It was fun to see the kids, animals & of course, you! Thanks for sharing 🤗🇨🇦🌻
20:29 Editing Jess.. you also forgot the pic of the goats u mentioned 😉
We sure do love out kitties don’t we. They’re part of the family.
Love the fire pit. Looks great!
Do you dig up the elephant ears? Leave them in?
Helen doesn’t look like she has dropped any so probably another few weeks.
I totally get it about the expense of pets! We had a rescue cat (showed up in our backyard eating the dry cat food I put out for opossums and other wildlife) that we took in, but he refused to be an indoor cat. He got attacked by 2 dogs from across the street, ate a bone, ate a piece of wood, and had severe pancreatitis. Each hospitalization cost thousands, totally well over $20k. He was such a loving cat that I'd pay that $20k again if I could have him back, though.
the dahlia is huge
Jesse Miah is taller than you and I’m sure somewhat stronger.
Yeah, we had a bionic cat like that. She cost us so much money through the years. She lived to be 24 years old though, and I miss her dearly. They steal your heart and make it all worth it.
Happy Birthday to Jackson! They're all growing up so fast.
Happy Birthday Jackson!! 🎂 🥳🎉
Helen just wants to see Mommy
Wishing Jackson a wonderful birthday! Jess you and the boys did a fine job!
My mom and I watched tonight. My mom is 83 and we just started our homesteading journey about 3 years ago. Never too late to start lol. Thank you for a realistic day in the life. God bless.
