Sorry to hear your horses got out, and you care so much for your animals…glad you fixed the fence, especially when you felt so tired. Hugs my sweet friend, it will get better.
Love the new fence tool and the vintaged one too. That’s so precious.
Willa reminds me so much of my old Kyro, she wanted to play ball 24/7 love how Fifi just popped out from that tree.
You will have plenty of reclaimed wood for your new barn. You always work so hard, busy little bee. And, wow…can’t believe you have cabbage and lettuce and so much more in your garden still! That’s so awesome! I miss fresh greens.
Those pears look so good! Thank you for sharing another beautiful video sweet sis! Love you and can’t wait for your visit 🥰😊🐾🤗🐕🐕❄️🌟🍷💞🐈⬛
Ida, I wish we could have connected 10-15 years ago as musicians and songwriters. Synergies do exist, you have enormous talent with string instruments; I tend to excel in percussion and studio recording. Much ❤️ for ur’ YT content, audio recordings and landscape visuals. Merry Christmas to you and all the Little Ida’s Farm Animal children.🌲Willa and FiFi are a non-stop trip!
Hii Ida 👩Yay a video from Tennessee, that opening music is really cool 😎 I'm hearing that pentatonic scale, you are a great woman Ida, you dance to the beat of your own drum,

Dear Ida, sending warm seasonal wishes to you, Willa, & all~ Oh yes, the gift of November and the onset of hibernation. Our bodies try so hard to remind us that it is time but reality says something else. Take good care and have a blessed holiday season… Merry Christmas brave heart!
Hi Ida, one day when I was driving to work, I saw some cows out. A thunderstorm had dropped a tree on a fence and the cows climbed over the smashed fence and were near a very busy road. I pulled over, got out and walked over near the cows and spoke to them in a voice I borrowed from an old farmer I knew when I was a kid. After spending a few minutes with them, I walked around behind them and began to mosey them towards the hole in the fence. I stopped once in a while, spoke to them some more…then mosey'd them to the gap in the fence and in. I walked them further away from the gap then went back to my truck and got my hammer and a few nails, my pliers and post hole diggers and my machette. I cut a cedar down, and made a post, cut the fence to get it off the fallen tree, set the post, pulled the fence, nailed it to the post, tweaked the fence with the pliers til it was taught, then went to the farmers house to tell him I had put his cows in and mended the fence.
HIs name was John Berry. When we talked a while, he knew where I had property down on the sound and said he and his wife used to go get oysters there. a couple of weeks later, I drove to his house and dropped off a nice bushel of oysters I had picked. I told him it was such a sweet thing to hear a man tell of his wife and the oysters they enjoyed. I love love and it was heart warming to see him receive those oysters and know that they had come from where they had been in their younger years.
Ida, George here. Ida, do you know how to kink fence with pliers to tighten it? If you give the horizontal wires each a twist with the pliers, just grab the wire in the pliers, twist to bend it then do the one below it and so on, you will tighten the fence a half inch, then do it again a little further on perhaps a foot or so to the right. Over and over again til the fence is banjo tight.
Ida, I learned to be a true carpenter from a man named Chazel Cockfield. Chazel was my friend and mentor. Here is a riddle Chazel gave me. "TWELVE KNIGHTS RIDING BYE, TWELVE PEAR HANGIN HIGH,EACH KNIGHT PICKS A PEAR AND LEAVES ELEVEN HANGIN THERE" i hope you enjoy riddles. Every time I thought I had it figured out, I would tell Chazel and he would say….is that so….?/
Ida-for all ur’ creative artist/musician/songwriter viewers! Late 1987, I moved to L.A., Attended many music seminars and top notch touring band shows. One seminar person gave a presentation, then said to the collective “What is you’re Body of Work”?
This/That simple statement has been stuck in my head/mind for decades as a songwriter/musician.
Thank you Ida! I really liked your video. Like always your videos bring me total happiness. I love seeing all the animals,hearing your sexy voice, & looking at the most beautiful farmer I have ever seen. Wow! You really got me when you started cooking the potatoes,wow! You really got me hungry looking at that masterpiece. Take care Ida & I can't wait for your next video
Good evening, Ida cara! I hope Boy is okay. I bet that was a scare, and then running around the woods in 25 degrees. Yikes…shivers!. 🥶
That fence repair was quite the chore, but so good that your friend had given you that tool a while ago. I cannot imagine doing that by hand.
I love pears, but I never tried fried pears before. Well I’ve got some in the fridge and I know what I’m having for breakfast in the morning! Bacon and eggs ….err…no… fried pears of course 💁🏻♂️
I cannot believe your garden! I’m envious. We got 10 inches of snow the last two days and everything is covered. The thought of a garden like that right now, here? Only on my dreams.
Hang in there. Focus on that cozy winter you’ve been talking about.
Hugs and kisses to those wonderful fur babies of yours, God bless you, and have a fantastic week! 🙏🐕🐎🐎🐈⬛ 🐈 🐓🐓 🍐 🔥🥶🤗😘❤️
Go Miss John Deere…
May I help you dear , I'm villagers boy
Always I'm happy for you safe and healty
Hi Ida! I guess I was wrong. I thought you were cooking potatoes & I can see I was wrong. I can't believe I did that! I'm sorry😭
Always liked ripe pears! Never had them cooked. Looks good! Can't wait to see what you have in mind with the reclaimed wood. I have faith in you ,it will be good! Have a good week ahead!
Hearing the birds singing, Willa and her blue Ball, Fifi climbing out of that tree, still cabbage and cammomile in winter…..beautiful precious moments in hard times. You can be proud of yourself sweet Ida. Things will get better. Loved the music, happy you started making music again. I would love to make music and singing together and when living nearby Come visiting and give a relaxing massage. So sorry about Bugs and Boy, was it again the shooting? Hope they can calm down.
Fifi having conversations with you. Sweet Fifi.
I hope the animals comfort you and vice versa. Great food sweet friend! I could almost smell it. Take care, thinking of you, have a lovely week with the animals, much love and hugs sweet Ida 🥰😘💖🐕🐎🐎🐾🐈⬛🍀🚜🍲🌻❤️❤️
thank you, nice and relaxing day ALL stay safe
I like the intro music….it matches my mood…I am thinking a lot about Nick today.
Those pears looked so good. I'll bet they smelled good cooking up.
Sweet, sweet Ida. Work is never done is it? You do a great job taking care of your farm and all your furry friends. I hope you have a nice Christmas, and the new year brings you lots of good things in your life, that you need & want. Time goes by so quickly. I find it hard to believe we are at the end of this year already, seems like it just started! The older I get, the faster it goes! Take care sweet sister and stay safe and warm. Hugs, Patricia & Bebe
🤠🐶👨❤👨
Dear sweet Ida it makes my heart hurt to see you so sad but please note that each sunrise is a new day of beginning a new page in the book of life. We all have these kind of days. It will get better my friend.
Good job on fixing that fence, great tool from a caring friend.
Love the look of those pears and bet your kitchen smells heavenly.
Ida I had a funky week but finally turned a corner and the family gifts have all been wrapped and my dear friend Bertha and her daughter who is like my niece gifts delivered after church today. I spent a day putting up some Christmas decorations but not a tree this year and I’m ok with that too. I just did not have the energy to get on a ladder and pull down the ornaments and my reindeer statures or mini trees.
Lilly Rose and I send you loads of soft hugs and love. We are leading into Christmas week. Praying you stay warm, cozy and healthy. Hugs and love to all the fur babies . Willa is fun to watch with her ball, my dog would tear it up in no time. She turned a year old on the 15th. Keep smiling sweet friend, keep your light shining bright. All will be well.
His bless you and Merry 🎄⛄️❄️☃️🤶🐶⛄️✨🌟❤️🙏🤗🐈🐕🍷🍷🍷🍷
Great video again Ida. Willa & Fifi really love the outdoors don,t they. Hope your plans for your move are going alright my friend. Take care Ida & Stay safe. Looking forward to next video.🥰🥰😘😘xxxx

Another great video, no wonder you feel tired ! You never stop for a minute. I really like the idea of. Buildings on the new farm built with boards from the old farm, like life never stops just moves along .❤️🤗🎩

Hi Ida, thank you for sharing a wonderful video, looks like you mastered the little tool attaching the clip to the post. Glad it worked for you. Respectfully dd
Do you cut your own hay or get it locally ?Sometimes on those don’t feel like doing it days an afternoon cup of caffeine inspiration might be required.
Your doing great lda,lots of work on the farm, fencing I remember those days. Hog wire works well n looks good. I have used corral panels for a quick fix before,n made oodles of them for other farmers n cattle ranchers.
But mainly I used 3 or 4 stran hot wire for a quick,clean job n it works well with the horse's.
Your kitchen work is always a pleasure… Happy Monday to you dear friend… Ayeee 👍😎❤️
Ida , so much I could say …
Simply put …Bless You 🙏
Have a Merry Christmas ..love to you and all your " kids" ❤️🌹
Next year will be rewarding 👍
Goodmorning Ida .have you thought about having free Power from your stream check this out..Kaplan turbin 2000w Hydro generator with low head…
My gosh Ida that sure is a lot of work. I can only imagine how much you really want to resettle on a new property. Willa sure does want to play. And the meal looked wonderful. You are such a strong person, stay warm, safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
