    We have about 4-6 wks before our 1st snowfall & there's still quite a few things we have to get done around the homestead. Pretty soon everything will be covered in a blanket of snow which makes everything a little more difficult. We're finally getting to the lean to that we need for the sheep pasture to cover their hay from the outside elements.
    Though we're facing 10 days of rain in our area of Alaska, we're still gettin' it done! Clean with me + I'm baking homemade blueberry & orange bread with our fresh wild Alaskan blueberries we picked this summer! Thanks for joining us for another day in the life (DITL) video! Cheers...

    him.

It just warms my heart watching these two boys interact with each other and how Kellan (hope i spelled that correctly) has completely become part of your family. It is truly a blessing to be able to watch such a transformation happen. I pray that he able to stay. Sending hugs and prayers to the Watson's from Ohio 🙏💕💯🙏

    I can totally understand Kellan’s enthusiasm about hanging out with Joe.
    He used to be cooped up in an appartement with mom & grandma, now he gets to be doing outdoor stuff.
    Building a homestead can be fun for a young boy & being around all that quiet testosterone is appealing to a young boy.
    It makes him feel strong and macho to shovel dirt… why let Joe have all the fun when he’s capable of shoveling too.😂😂😂

    Hi Watsons! Your property around your house always looks neat to me, and when Joe is in the midst of a project, it still looks neat!
    The first half of the video (first day) I only saw Kellen working with Joe and I didn't see Parker! I was happy he is included in the second half. Parker has great ideas and he is also very helpful as Kellen is and a great role model! I hope Kellen will get to stay with your family!
    I love to declutter! It feels great to get rid of old scrap items and donate what can be reused.

    You have such a cute home. Your new bedroom off the back will give you much needed storage space. I imagine next summer you will have a lot of food to preserve from your garden. Maybe! You didn’t show your new corner shelves long enough….haha! I love to see where you keep things in your kitchen. My eyes are always looking around in shots. The addition to the sheep shelter is going to be very nice. Joe, you can do anything as far as I can see on here. Kellen is certainly a polite young boy as is Parker. So cute that Kellen is right out there rain or shine helping Joe. I think Joe is Kellen’s Mentor.
    I also love to have a neat yard. 😃😃But with animals I suspect you have to have some things around. You do have a very nice piece of property there. Fun for the kids.

    have a good one for you, one of my professors in pharmacy school bought some sheep, the purpose was to keep his ground from overgrowing, one day he noticed they were dirty, and he bathed and used detergent to clean them. in a little while it rained, and rained, and the sheep got cold and all died on him. being a pharmacy professor he understood why, the lanolin in their wool kept them dry, as it shed the water, and this is a true story.

    Two things I think when I see this update. Kellen seems to be getting taller, slimming down. It's better that dead tree got knocked down now than with the snow.

    As a kid growing up in 4-H and FFA ( I’m only 26). I use to go visit a family who showed cows and goats and eventually I started showing as well. They lived on a dairy and I admired the lifestyle, it’s what inspired me to become a farmer today. I learned so much, saw so much, went many places that were of interest that my family wouldn’t have lol and got to be around a lot of skilled individuals and people with the same interest on different levels . A new world opened but also it gave culture and a skill that is “not common” IYKYK 😂😅 Great to see .. It takes a village 💪🏽💪🏽

    Tina, what a woman!! Cleans the house, bakes bread, shifts hay, lumber and rubbish and the way you swung onto that old bbq up into the recycle bin…..you remind me of my wife and my mother, both very “roll your sleeves up and get into it” women. You and Joe have the place looking great and kudos to the boys as well, great little helpers with terrific work ethic. On a different note, are you ever worried that a bear will get the sheep?

    • @HomeFreeAlaska
      @HomeFreeAlaska  9 месяцев назад +1

      It’s always a possibility. But I think with the dogs always running around it’s a good deterrent. And our cabin is right next to the sheep pasture and we usually hear when anything is going on. Predators are a reality anywhere you live. If it becomes an issue then we’ll handle it but so far no bears.☺️

    Tina: One of the reasons I love your channel is that you share info about some very good products. Some time back, you recommended the Bissell hand vacuum, and since I didn't have one (with two shedding dogs) I bought one, and I'm here to tell you I love it!!! That handy little powerhead attachment zips the hair off fabric with no effort. So, thank you for that excellent tip! My best to all the Watson family, including dogs, cats, chickens & sheep! 🥰🧡

    • @HomeFreeAlaska
      @HomeFreeAlaska  9 месяцев назад

      Oh awesome! Yessssss…that little vacuum is by far one of my best purchases. I literally use it everyday, multiple times a day. Especially in this little cabin with 2 cats & 2 dogs! It’s so convenient & you’re right, it works very well. So glad it worked out for you too!🤍🤍
