  1. Despite the economic downturn,I'm so happy☺️ I have been earning $ 60,200 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13days

  2. Congratulations on your award and I wish you a speedy recovery. And Tim of course. Don't be tempted to start working too early. It was difficult trying to stop my wife from overdoing it after hysterectomy some years ago.

  3. Congratulations on your award
    Hope you both have a quick recovery.
    The farm looks so beautiful.
    One question only because I have no clue.Why do you put the horses out at night?
    I really enjoy all the videos that you both share with all of us.🙂🙂

  4. Do take it easy Sandra; try to respite the temptation to do too much too soon. I'm sure your friends will keep helping Tim (hope your infection clears up soon too, Tim). Congratulations on your well-deserved award.

  5. I also had a hysterectomy this year, I hope yours went well. Now my reason for the anemia is solved I can do so much more. Though luckily I don't have a farm to keep up with, I just had to make sure the cats didn't jump onto my stomach but they got it quite fast I think.

  6. Very hearty congratulations on your award, and nice that folks in your neighborhood take note! Lovely foal, too! Happy you are through surgery and on the mend. They pretty much know how to do that one, so you should be fine! I made a honey-apple cake tonight from our apples! Winter is all about apple here, too! Thanks for the update.

  7. Tim's ear infection is something I can relate to, I've probably had 100-150 in my right ear in the last year.. seems like every time I lay on my right side while sleeping I get another one that lasts a day or two… luckily my new ENT finally decided to pull the tube out of my ear for me.. the one in my left ear has been gone almost 16 years now and I rarely ever get an infection in it, at least not one that's noticeable. Hopefully the hole in my right ear drum will heal up and the infection in it will go away and not come back. (I was on antibiotic drops for a week but I can't tell if it's gone or not) I can tell you that air is finally coming out of my right ear as well as my left when I purge my ears/blow my nose now and I have no clue when the last time air came out of my right ear was.
    Our garden is pretty much done at this point. The green beans didn't do much this year and neither did the tomatoes, I 100% blame it on the soil that my father got that is supposedly the best stuff you can get, the stuff that EVERYONE grows weed in around here and is supposedly amazing but I can tell you my weed plant that grew in 50% that stuff 50% compost didn't do nearly as well as the one in 100% compost. (California, it's legal here :D) The best tomatoes we got came from a volunteer plant that grew from old seeds still in the ground from last year. Unfortunately our rototiller died and the very expensive replacement one didn't work right so we're now growing in "smart bags" so that you never have to mess with tilling again.. or so it says.. Personally I'd much rather have raised beds that are easier to pick things out of without having to bend my messed up back over.. it's the biggest limiting factor for me, that and reaching up into sharp cages to pick tomatoes knowing that there might be brown or black widows hiding under the leaves.. NO THANK YOU! Unfortunately both my grand parents are now gone so we'll probably never get fresh apples ever again, unless my sister's tree produces.. We did get about 40 pomegranates though… much to the chagrin of my right hand from picking them apart.. I really need a juicer.

  8. I’m so happy to see that you got recognized for your farming efforts. And I’m glad you came through the surgery well. Please do take care and take it slowly.

  9. I have been considering taking all the bad apples from the tree and brewing up fuel alcohol.
    Testing with a spray bottle I found that 80 proof burns if atomized first. Not enough for an internal combustion engine on its own but it will work just fine in a heating stove.

  10. May God Bless you even more Sandra! I am sorry to hear of your surgery, but now you have time to take care yourself and write that book about your idyllic farm! Or knit, perhaps? Love always, Kay🧶

  13. Glad to hear you are mending well. Being down when you are an active person is hard to deal with. I wish you both a speedy recovery.

  14. Ask the inventor there to build a picker with 4 inch hose to pick and drop apple in to the box
