I absolutely love how you show your every day to day chores that we will be needing to do on our homestead soon. Great to see what normal life should look like on a running homestead! Love you guys!
I hope the rest of your day gets better. On the bright side of it all ; you’re catching those varmits and not getting spayed that’s good . Olivia is doing very well on her flute. Kids learning music is wonderful.
I too suffer from depression and anxiety and I always find something fun to do. You have your farm animals to take care of and that's good. I find that being around animals is a cure. Keep up the good work.
Olivia, thank you for playing your flute for us. I always look forward to hearing you. I was a piano teacher in a private school. My students played by ear because I never learned how to play by notes. Proud of you. You've got a wonderful little family.
Thanks for the great words of wisdom on having a great day! It's a great reminder! Wish I could remember everyday, life would be so much better! But having you to remind me is a blessing! Thanks again for all you do! 💜🌞🌵
thank you for sharing your family and life with us. To me, you have created, through hard work and determination, a little piece of heaven right here on earth. I enjoy every minute shared with us, on Lumnah acres. Peace be with you and yours.
All the animals are feeling the ghostly vibes of Halloween! We know you feed them everyday, cuz we watch you. They need their fat to fight the New Hampshire cold winter. A third skunk is in your trap, just bad luck. At least your not letting them loose on someone else's property, as so many do. The problem ends with your method. Sorry it's so cold. We saw Figerooooo this morning!! Have a wonderful day and I try too.🎃👿⭐🐩👻☠👾🤖😈👽🎃👿⭐🐩👻☠👾🤖😈👽🎃👿⭐🐩👻☠👾
Good fluting!! I love it. Olivia is such a happy young lady. She makes my heart happy. Al, you made me bust into laughter this morning telling how you were going to change a bad start into a god day. Then straight away you got into New Yolk City with the wrong bucket of feed !!! Glad you got another skunk The modernstead is just looking so beautiful. Great job for lots of hard work. Thank you.
Good mornin Lumnah Acres. Hopefully Andy and his posse will move in with the other chickens .... I guess they would have too if they want to eat once the snow flies? Have a great day and weekend AL, Gina & Olivia. Take care.
The wood chips that you sold when the loggers cleared the land would make an excellent first layer in your chicken tent. We got a load from the highway crew and put it down in our gateways to kept them from getting muddy. It might be an option for you in your region. You could loose a limb with that broody hen. WOW she’s a good mom. Thank you for a marvelous view of your day.😊
I really appreciate your words of wisdom. I suffer with anxiety on a daily and your words explain perfectly what you need to do to overcome those feelings. As I know you have fought it yourself. It’s not an easy road but watching your videos are relaxing. Keep up the great work
Oh my goodness Al, I woke up with the same feeling you had at 4:30 am. I just heard your advice, we can decide what to do with the day. You just gave me some serious power Hoss. Thank you so much. My husband and I absolutely love your videos. You are such a down-to-earth kinda guy. And such a good man. Thanks again, I am jumping up out of this bed and getting to work with a whole different frame of mind today. 👍
Yup I had me one of those days yesterday. Everything was a little harder to do. Then it started raining. I just went in and relaxed for the rest of the day. Skunk is the one thing I haven't had yet. Had possums, raccoons, fox, coyote, neighbors dogs, and a few bobcats here lately. The good ones that I want around, (deer), have gone because of the coyote. Had a fawn and mother multiple times a day. I put up a feeder to help them get ready for the winter. Thanks for giving us everything. The good the bad and the ugly. It great to see how others deal. Your an inspiration to us, and that is never bad. Thank you.
Thank you for the positive thought! Sometimes when you wake up and get started things just start out wrong but why do we sometimes let that set the tone for the whole day! My husband and I sometimes just start over by coming back into the room and giving each a hug and saying "Good Morning Honey!" Just about always works!!
That was a funny type of low tackling to catch those hens and chicks to relocate them😊Those skuncks are determined Al to make your farm their food source😊Good flute playing by livvie..have a great day⚘
Well, what an adventurous day! Olivia is doing great on the flute! All of my older boys are in Marching Band and they are the entire tuba line. Aiden was asking how old she was. He was impressed with her musical skills as well. I have something that is coming and taking my birds so I need to get a new trap.
Great input on getting out of "funky" moods. I totally agree with the bad mood affecting others. On the other hand, good moods can influence others as well so I try to keep my funky moods to myself.
You are absolutely correct. You just need keep moving forward, no point in getting upset about what is done or what you cant change, learn from it and move on. 😀🌻
I think the animals know winter is coming. Really enjoyed today's video, the wind noise not an issue. For me, it's kinda nice to hear the sounds around you, makes it seem more like we are there. You ole skunk hunter :-)
Al, I have had alot of problems with skunks and the best way i have found to dispatch them is to leave in the trap and submerge trap and drown the skunk, then they will not spray when they die and you also can have a very nice pelt. By the way enjoy your videos and look forward to them each morning.
Its a good day because you’re getting rid of all the skunks in record time! I like how your chickens follow you around, its so cute. I get so nervous when i dont see the pigs on your morning rounds, my mind automatically jumps to all the worse case scenarios.
Love your can do positive attitude, not letting the negatives get ya down! We finally got some cooler weather in the deep south, it’s in the 50’s in Louisiana! lol. We had to go get the grandkids winter coats😳. Well, we did have four snows last year, 😂. Hope the snow holds off a bit longer for you guys! God bless!
Awesome video. Your homestead is beautiful and I enjoy watching . Fall is on the way to central Indiana, too. Olivia, beautiful flute music to close the video!
Oh....38F seems like HEAVEN to me...then again, it is normally HOT here, so 37F seems like "wonderful" to most of us here! We have winter, but not like anything like you guys go through. Our winters can bring cold and snow, but not nearly like what you guys have.
The skunk probably spooked your livestock Al. A couple weeks ago I noticed my hens were acting strangely when I let them out of their coop. Couldn't figure out why and then..........I smelled the trespasser. No signs of it since but I am prepared as you are to deal with it if it returns. Hope you get the mild winter version this year!
Olivia, good luck with the flute. Me, i wanted to but could not do so because my embrasure would not allow it...so I went to clarinet and oboe (which I was really good at). It is wonderful to do whatever you are suited for; I hope your music teacher knows the difference so you can be the most successful..
Livy, good flute playing. Congratulations on trapping and dealing successfully with the 3 skunks, I'm still watching back vlogs so I can maybe catch up with Lumnah Acres!
Like you think Al, I think that we are all responsible to be in control of our emotions just like anything else in life. If we take control we can reshape how we respond & react & have a much more positive day, every day. I used to try to teach my children that it is a life skill and a very important one to learn.
Hatchet is one of my favorite book series. Good to hear kids are still being introduced to it. Brian's Winter and The River are next in the series if she really likes hatchet.
Yesterday Hubby & I returned from running errands in town to hear our chickens going crazy ! It was that sound when you know a varmint is in there trying to kill one or more. It was a stray cat of all things. We have had problems with Raccoons, Possums, Hawks, Owls, stray dogs running along the fence try ing to find a way in, but never a cat ! Thank goodness we got home apparently when it 1st. got in with them ! I love cats ~ BUT ---- ! Good job on the skunks ! You are a man after my husband's own heart ~ he is a long time Kubota man. Actually I recently bought a Zero Turn Kubota lawn mower & love it !
Words of wisdom young man !!! Some folks take a lot longer to learn life lessons. "Your day can be as great or as bad as YOU want it to be" The continuing saga of Lumnah Sniper LOL When you were walking around the goat house the land clearing looks great !!!
Al, thank you for sharing about having a down mood. I worry a lot about my being able to live on the farm and have my chickens. I rent and never know. Money is limited my kids come see me seldom. Just get down. I will try to be a warrior. I love you and your family....Grandma Carol
I like your thinking Al! Attitude determines altitude - I tell myself that every day. Congratulations on the skunk roundup. We caught 5 in 6 days a few years ago - in a suburb in Southern California no less! We basically caught a Momma & her litter - Yuck!
Good idea for your mindset change and kudos for thinking and caring how it affects others or even how others can affect you. Congratulations on the skunk catching. I hope it’s your final one. Thankfully we don’t have any in Scotland.
Morning Al, just a tip . Willow Creek use all straw last year and she had a divel of a time trying to get it up. It was all hard. So mixing it up might just be the trick. Cold and blowy in VT to! Fa fa fa freezen. Gonna warm up for a bit. Have a better day. Don't let the animals get ya!
I did the wire out from the bottom of my fence and it worked till it rusted, about 6 years. Take care stay warm. It's been cold in Texas but you would call it mild. :-))
Olivia does really well with flute. My daughter played flute too. Thank goodness no more skunks in the coop, but they seem to be flocking around the area. No pun intended, lol. 😄❤
We used to keep an old, ratty blanket in the shed for the trapped skunks. We'd walk toward the trap behind the blanket so they weren't threatened, throw it over the trap, pick up the trap while it's covered and they seem completely unperturbed by it all.
Being originally from central Illinois, I guess I took for granted, that everybody had access to cheap straw for bedding.....Knowing of the different, alternative bedding choices, helps keep the flock healthy, no matter where a person may live. Thanks for reminding us why, you do the things you do. Your explanations may benefit someone else, in a similar situation . Hope the skunk issue goes away, after only a few offenders......
'Winters going to be here before we know it.' Another Yogi Bera ism. I'd think the first sign of winter would be snow and cold. When that happens, I hope you know it. LOL. You are so entertaining.
@Lora Brumfield , Yees , and what was it like in July and August when your A/C wasn't working ? I've been in Phoenix during those months. With the streets so hot and deserted during the day it is hard to believe that so many people actually live in Phoenix. Little sign of humans until after the sun goes down. Here in the east we are outside during the summer to enjoy the sun shine with our window curtains wide open to allow the sunshine into our houses.
@@donaldmiller8629 , at estimated 4.5 million people in the metro Phoenix area, you must not be a commuter! Yes, we keep our homes shut up tight in summer, but with a low of 68f tonight (mid October) I'll have the windows open. I'll be thinking of you in February when we're sitting outside enjoying our morning coffee. 😉
@Suzi Saint James , Ha ha , hi Suzi . And I'll be thinking of you in July when I am sitting outside in the sunshine enjoying my afternoon coffee. I've lived out there in Nature's broiler. I've driven to Phoenix when My truck said , I don't care about the so called "dry " heat ! I'm going to boil over ! The problem is that your hot months last longer than our cold months. So , you have perhaps three good months a year . December , January and February, and then the heat begins. Again ! I have also found out that it costs a lot more to stay cool than it does to be warm. If I am chilly I can put on a sweater. When you are too hot , how much can you take off in public ? I found that even buck naked I might still be to hot ! Now what ?
@@donaldmiller8629, Awww! Being an orphan I'm glad to know someone out there will be thinking fondly of me. With lots of love 💜🌞🌵 P.S. tell your truck that even a blow torch gives off a dry heat... hot is hot.
Gooood Mawnin' Al. Loved the jailbirds🐥😊. Hmm, dispatched, that's not a term I'm familiar with here on Long Island, with our NYC news I never heard them describe an unfortunate day like that! Plenty of other terms come to mind but not that one. I personally like the term Their taking "dirt naps" 😞🙈🙉🙊
Good morning and happy to finally be caught up with the videos. Glad you are dispatching the skunks cause they will definitely kill your chickens. Be careful with the opossums they are worse than skunks, and do not eat the four legged buzzards. lol Have a wonderful weekend and Oliva keep up with the great flute practice.
I had to laugh when you said "its one of those days", I seem to have WAY to many of those, LOL.We had a family of skunks in the barn a few years back.My husband trapped 7 of them...no fun.Our goats are getting big, not just because of winter, they will be having kids in January :)
Missy here- so I do outside chores listening to your and a few others videos. And well our youngest buck Milkyway says he thinks your buttercup is in heat. Lol.she was bellering and he started bellering and blubbering lol. Lol.
If you set the trap inside the bag you have less risk of getting sprayed trying to get it in the bag. Also if you find a deep hole in the brook, drop the trap in and walk away. 10 minutes later you hav a dead skunk that didn't spray. I have found that the spray calls in other curious preadators that you don't want around chickens either.
From what you say about the animals, I would like you think winter is coming quickly for you.I hope it not a bad one. A time you stock up with hay & feed just in case you can not get out to buy it.
It's obvious that your homesteading skills have impressed everyone, especially the skunks. They have found their "forever" home!
I absolutely love how you show your every day to day chores that we will be needing to do on our homestead soon. Great to see what normal life should look like on a running homestead! Love you guys!
What a treat. Thank you for the flute concert Olivia. Great job.

Al so right about changing our mind set. We can choose to be happy. Great advice.
I really appreciate your words of wisdom. I suffer with anxiety on a daily and your words explain perfectly what you need to do to overcome those feelings. As I know you have fought it yourself. It’s not an easy road but watching your videos are relaxing. Keep up the great work
I needed that positive message this morning. Thanks for the blessing. Little Blossom is probably going into heat. That is why she was so mouthy.
Your encouraging words helped me this morning.
The phone clients had all been acting like Crabby Paddy's. Thanks for helping me turn my day around!
Oh my goodness Al, I woke up with the same feeling you had at 4:30 am. I just heard your advice, we can decide what to do with the day. You just gave me some serious power Hoss. Thank you so much.

You are absolutely correct. You just need keep moving forward, no point in getting upset about what is done or what you cant change, learn from it and move on. 😀🌻
They just wanted your attention!
LOVE your message! Positivity is definitely a choice. Your mood sets the tone for your whole day.

Great word on keeping a good attitude! We want to see as much of the pig processing as possible!
Great Attitude Al. Like the way you think optimistically. Gonna be a Great Day!!! God Bless
Hey Al ,
Watching that skunk waddling off made me think what an impressive fur hat it would make.
so funny watching you move the chicks.. looks so rough and so gentle all at the same time!
Goat Mountain: “RICOLAAAAaaaaaa” - 😂😂
Karen Gates hahahahahahaha
Love your can do positive attitude, not letting the negatives get ya down! We finally got some cooler weather in the deep south, it’s in the 50’s in Louisiana! lol.

Couldn't figure out why and then..........I smelled the trespasser. No signs of it since but I am prepared as you are to deal with it if it returns. Hope you get the mild winter version this year!
The animals know the snow is coming! Animals always get extra rowdy and crazy when theres going to be a big weather change.
Olivia, good luck with the flute. Me, i wanted to but could not do so because my embrasure would not allow it...so I went to clarinet and oboe (which I was really good at). It is wonderful to do whatever you are suited for; I hope your music teacher knows the difference so you can be the most successful..

Change your attitude into gratitude & change your day & practice smiling until it drops into your heart.
"We dispatch them". Good choice of words. You've got to watch out for the PC police.
I don’t understand why you need the gun.
Your so right Al on thinking positive when you have bad start to your day.
Any day you wake up still breathing you really shouldn't have much to complain about.
@@tiebear1 Amen!!
When u prune the apple trees use the wood in the fireplace...couple of pieces ...adds a great aroma...
And it's good smoke for bbq
I enjoyed reading Hachet too Olivia!

I like your thinking Al!
Attitude determines altitude - I tell myself that every day.
Congratulations on the skunk roundup. We caught 5 in 6 days a few years ago - in a suburb in Southern California no less!
We basically caught a Momma & her litter - Yuck!
Perhaps your Pepé Le Pews think Figaro is Penelope Pussycat.
Revman116 ❤️❤️❤️😂❤️❤️❤️
Momma skunk must have had a litter nearby this summer. Good luck Al!
Good idea for your mindset change and kudos for thinking and caring how it affects others or even how others can affect you. Congratulations on the skunk catching. I hope it’s your final one. Thankfully we don’t have any in Scotland.
Morning Al, just a tip . Willow Creek use all straw last year and she had a divel of a time trying to get it up. It was all hard.
So mixing it up might just be the trick.
Cold and blowy in VT to!
Fa fa fa freezen.
Gonna warm up for a bit.
Have a better day.
Don't let the animals get ya!
You & your family have a blessed day!
13:09 That was a definite "WATCH IT!!!" out of momma hen just then.
Love your morning walk and feed!!♥️
I did the wire out from the bottom of my fence and it worked till it rusted, about 6 years. Take care stay warm. It's been cold in Texas but you would call it mild. :-))
Yep. Nice one again Al. Thank you. 👍😁
Your coming along well on your practicing Miss Olivia.
Olivia does really well with flute. My daughter played flute too. Thank goodness no more skunks in the coop, but they seem to be flocking around the area. No pun intended, lol. 😄❤
Have a good weekend Lumnah's. Great update Al.
We used to keep an old, ratty blanket in the shed for the trapped skunks. We'd walk toward the trap behind the blanket so they weren't threatened, throw it over the trap, pick up the trap while it's covered and they seem completely unperturbed by it all.
Good job glad you took care of the problem
How about installing a electric fence wire around the base of the pen, and keep it on at night.
The animals know snow is coming. Love your videos!
Being originally from central Illinois, I guess I took for granted, that everybody had access to cheap straw for bedding.....Knowing of the different, alternative bedding choices, helps keep the flock healthy, no matter where a person may live. Thanks for reminding us why, you do the things you do. Your explanations may benefit someone else, in a similar situation . Hope the skunk issue goes away, after only a few offenders......
So glad you took care of it. You're right you can't show everything on RUclips.
You really get perspective on the pigs when they come out of the ICB tote!

Excellent channel, enjoyable family.
Glad to hear your realistic about it and taking care of the skunks, and it’s looking like pig process time?
I love to hear the goats call to you in the morning.
So glad you “took care of” the skunk!
Al, I bet a well placed trail cam would be a suprising window into all of the activity, on your property at night.
Good morning and happy to finally be caught up with the videos. Glad you are dispatching the skunks cause they will definitely kill your chickens. Be careful with the opossums they are worse than skunks, and do not eat the four legged buzzards. lol Have a wonderful weekend and Oliva keep up with the great flute practice.

Thank You your words help in a situation I am going through .
At 11:11 ... that is one fancy rain gauge
I don't have any idea but wondering if there are any natural deterrents to keep skunks and other critters from venturing onto your land?
Good job Al. Like always love your videos. You should put a camera out there at night. God Bless you and your family.
Sounds like not lifting the tail equals no spraying by the skunk myth is true! 💜🌞🌵
tail up is a courtesy to YOU... to give you a chance to back off. But if you scare them enough they'll spray tail down
Good video Al. You have an awesome Family. #Blessed
Your animals acting crazy means they knew the snow was coming. ❄️ You have good little weather predictors. 😁
Missy here- so I do outside chores listening to your and a few others videos. And well our youngest buck Milkyway says he thinks your buttercup is in heat. Lol.she was bellering and he started bellering and blubbering lol. Lol.
Hey they go into heat every 17-21 days and it lasts for up to 72 hours.
You could always have skunk pot pie. Lol
1:29 Is the skunk pulling grass into the trap? It also looks like it's killing the grass wherever you've caught one.
If you set the trap inside the bag you have less risk of getting sprayed trying to get it in the bag. Also if you find a deep hole in the brook, drop the trap in and walk away. 10 minutes later you hav a dead skunk that didn't spray. I have found that the spray calls in other curious preadators that you don't want around chickens either.
From what you say about the animals, I would like you think winter is coming quickly for you.I hope it not a bad one. A time you stock up with hay & feed just in case you can not get out to buy it.
