Good morning!
Nicely done!
Good morning Kaye, looks like Spring is here! YAY.
Looks like a great solution to your water issues. So glad you could get this done. I enjoyed your “spring” morning. I am still looking at snow…….
Goodness, Girlfriend! That walk could not have been great for your back! I hope you're going to take a few days to rest after you get Theresa to the airport. I hope and pray that trench solves your rainwater problem. Things like that can be so frustrating, and I'm glad you've taken steps to remedy this!
Good morning 🌞….I have that also but I grow moringa in the summer and you can buy it at Walmart,…I put the moringa powder in my coffee maker with my coffee… it's very good for you…. it's helped me with the pinched nerves in my neck and elbow…. get you some seeds for summer they only grow in warm weather…. do some research….. have a wonderful day 😊
I have 2 air compressors one for the cigarette lighter and an electric one….
You should clean the cats eye with soap and warm water it does help….
A metal detector is a great idea. You might find some cool items.
I know this doesn’t have anything to do with what your talkin about in the video, but I’m from Lacrosse, WI an it’s along the Mississippi River an its obviously to the west of me if your from here an to the east in maybe a 4 block span from river to what we call bluffs around my area in Wisconsin. So are they called bluffs or mountains or are they just hills in the background where you are in Tennessee? Cuz they look like the size of bluffs from what I can tell on your video. I’m Just curious……..PEACE!
Our terrain is almost identical and it’s amazing what you can see when the woods are bare! Some very biblical views around you and there is a peacefulness as well. Great video Kaye❤

If you plant things in the burm won't it weaken it.Especially when you dig them out. I have a similar burn behind my house and I was told not to plant anything in it.Not trying to be critical just trying to help.
Ohh how I miss Oklahoma when I see you walking through the woods. Great information about redirecting the rain water. Have a BLESSED DAY!!
We are having a very similar issue and my husband was just working on redirecting the run off. He did something like yours and we’re hoping to see an improvement. Thanks for a great video!
I have to admire you Kaye. A girl that takes care of business. That machine looks a little small for the job. Hope it works out well for you.
Just so you know, I tried three times sending you a battery-operated hand-held air compressor, but Amazon wouldn't deliver it. I finally threw in the towel.
