    This is "The Coolest Thing You've Ever Done."
    0:25 You can dress for cold but you can't undress enough for the heat. I'll take the cold any day.
    Talk about a four season property. I enjoy your Winter episodes as much or more than the other seasons.
    Great idea, Curling. Wish winter was longer or at least more predictable for the ice.

    What an awesome day getting the ice ready! Making memories with family and friends is awesome. Sure the little ones will remember this day for a long time. Noce to see everything come together with all your hard work! Great video Adam!

    Looks like that was a lot of fun. The kids will remember that for a long time. Probably tell their grandkids about it someday. Home made fun always has the best memories.

    You've got quite the winter playground now, Adam! Looks like great sled riding, and the curling was amazing. I've never seen anyone make their own pond curling game. Very creative. Enjoyed the video!

    Brings back a lot of memories for me. I grew up on a farm and we had the pond and the hills for winter fun. Big bonfire by the pond was going on many times while we skated. It is fun to watch a family playing together.

    Adam, I'm a new subscriber. I watched a couple of your newer videos to start off with and then I knew I had to go all the way back to your beginning to your first video and watch your story unfold.
    I must say it's been a fun and refreshing experience for me.
    The love you show for your family and friends is second to none. Friends helping friends and neighbors helping neighbors..... that's the way we all need to get back to. Over the past few years that seems to have gone to the wayside.
    Your zest and pure passion for life is simply amazing.
    Keep up the great job and all that you do! Looking forward to continue to watch you grow as I catch up to your most recent videos and then beyond. ✌🏽

    Great shot of the house and pond there at the end! Very idyllic! Also, I love the way you show what you are doing in real-time, and then once we get an idea of the speed it actually takes, you speed it up. Lots of RUclipsrs do that, but they don't do it as well you do.

    • @HometownAcres
      @HometownAcres  2 года назад +1

      Thank you Mark, peoples attentions spans are getting shorter and shorter so I try to not let the video get boring. I usually edit a video 3 times and look for “boring” spots and either speed them up or delete them all together. Glad to know it makes a difference to you guys watching!

    @terrypomatto907 2 года назад +1

    I have both types of Arthritis and my joints are always swollen and aching. I love Fall because I don't experience the level of pain that I have when it is cold. I can tell the day or two before a Low Pressure front comes through. My artificial knees, my wrist that had both been broken several times, and my back/neck require me to take medication to deal with the discomfort. I love to sit and watch the snow and I enjoy your videos mainly because I am not able to actually experience.

      @@mikeadams2339 We cross our fingers on most of his ideas. Amazingly, he pushes through any problems to get the results he wants. It will be lovely when he gets a shelter down near the pond, an outdoor fire pit… and the spring fed stream down to the pond. There are a lot more things to be done.
      But it’s better than we expected!

    Adam, check with your local Vol. Fire Dept. and maybe for a small donation they have a old hose that they will give you. It never hurts to ask. Adam, leave those in the plastic bowls, you might have to glue them in. Try it both ways, see which ones work the best. I think the plastic would side the best. Lots of Fun !

    I just started watching your channel today after seeing Neil Koch dig your dog fence for you. Poked around and this one caught my eye. Maybe you've already considered this, but thought you should hook a small trailer up to your side-by-side with a tank for water you could heat with your garage stove and create a Zamboni with that.

  • @pmbramucci1056
    @pmbramucci1056 2 года назад +1

    Now you just need a warming shed near the pond so you don't have to back to the house when you just want a small break from the cold.
    Then for the summer playtime, you could rig up an outdoor shower on the outside of the shed to clean off the sand.
