I agree wholeheartedly! In fact, I believe in my soul that it's necessary for life and health that all animals have at least one other of their species to live with, commune with, as long as everyone is safe and happy. Wishing the absolute best for Lady.
The land lord at my old house taped the dryer outlet to the wall....we ran it one day and it started melting the plug and filled the house with a burning wire smell. That day, we put up a clothesline and never used that dryer again. To this day, I don't run the dryer when we leave the house.
Haha I actually didnt mean to publish the pepper video, and was trying to schedule it for tomorrow but once it was up I shrugged and said “oh well, bonus for them”
My husband does appliance repair. He finds evidence of fire in least 50% of the dryer calls. There’s 50k dryer fires in the US every year. So glad you guys caught it in time!
Sweet Jess, Thank God there was no house fire!!! OMG when I read your title on your post, my heart sank. Just recently another vlog I follow (Doss Farm) had a house fire. Their house (tiny house) was totally destroyed by fire, and water damage. At 3AM, the entire family was sleeping when the fire srarted. Thank goodness the entire family got out of the house, and no one was hurt. They're struggling but trying to start over. Burning a garden, or a field will bring all kinds of benefits for future growing. Y'all know this from experience, and I'm sure from your farmer friends. I tell ya, old dried plants burn hot, and fast. We contemplated burning around our lagoon to get rid of the over growth but decided not to do it because it would be a handful (basically we chickened out). Your correct on the dryer vent needing continous cleaning. The silver dryer hose going to the outside should be cleaned, or replaced. We replaced ours 6 months ago. We had no idea the hose got that bad. We clean the dryer inside vent with every use, and just thought the hose to the exterior just needs a good vacuuming from the inside out...NOT! The darn thing got crushed, someone in my home pushed the dryer up against hose. I read 6 months ago, that the NFPA states that dryers, and washers cause 92% of the fires out of 15,000 fires each year. We learned our lesson with the crushed hose. We've decided every couple of months to pull the dryer out, and release the clamp to vacuum the hose. I'm thinking about putting a fire alarm in the laundry room. We have 2 other but there down the hallway next to the bedrooms. FYI, hubby, and I are coffee finatics. We just ordered two more bags of Beuhla coffee. Love it!!!
God bless Wes for rescuing Paisley! I am a big advocate for wild horses and leaving them wild wherever possible. (The BLM and cattle industry are no friends of them.) Horses are one of the most magnificent and amazing of all God's creatures! I can, and have sat and watched wild horse bands and their interactions with the members for hours and days. Also, I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see y'all using rope halters and no bits! Yes! No metal in the mouth and no metal on the face. That's oh so good!
I wasn’t aware of how many dryer fires there are - I’m going to get my exhaust pipe cleaned out asap! Soooo glad you are all safe! I pray for your family every day. 💗
So glad you caught it in time!My friend’s mom literally had to bust a bathroom door down to save another friend that was taking a shower and had no idea that the dryer had caught fire. The house was a total loss. Now I never run the dryer if I’m leaving the house, in the shower or heading to bed. Inconvenient at times, but more convenient than replacing all our worldly possessions.
I'm so glad that you found the fire before it could spread. A dryer fire is what started the blaze that burned my aunt and uncle's house to the ground. They had built it up by hand and were so close to being finished.
"The horse thing"❤ You've inspired me so much in my life. I grew up on horseback before I knew peppers came from flowers😅 Its fun to see how walks of life intertwine
So thankful That Miah walked inside! Dryer lent is the most flammable thing in our house. While we empty the lent trap with every load, often some makes it through to the outdoor vent tube. I'm so thankful! I ask God to cover you & your in protection, in prayer, everyday! I'm thanking him now! ❤
We had a little dust bunny form over one summer in our gas fireplace under the logs. When we went to light it we got a mini explosion that blew out the pilot light. I was just going to go get dressed for the day. Yeah, we now are careful and keep some lint on hand to start the burn pit. I am less concerned about our dryer now that we have a condensation one. We have it on low heat and it damp dries without an exterior vent to collect extra lent. It just has a lent catcher and a cassette that collects the condensation.
A dryer is one of the top fire starters in the country. Lint build up is one of the main culprits. It could also be the vent hose is crushed and.not getting good air flow. Also, a small animal could have gotten into the vent and built a nest. Once you determine the cause, you may want to check the thermostats and the heating element. Also, look over the power cord connection. We had one once that we thought the heating element had burned out. Turned out to be the power cord almost caught on fire. It had gotten really hot and was charred. Thankfully, the thermal cut-off did its job and blew, which shut the dryer off. (I worked in appliance, mower and hvac parts and repair for around 26 years.) So thankful that Miah went in when he did. Please let us know what y'all find. ❤
Thank you for the reminder to clean out the dryer vents! The Lord may have just prevented some house fires through your situation today. So glad it turned out okay!!
Right? My landlady is blind, and she doesn't see or think to do these things, and it has been a while since I took it upon myself to clean out the exhaust hose from the dryer to the outside. This is the perfect reminder it needs to be done again. Thank you, Jess!
Look at your dream! It's happening and it's beautiful. Sing God's praise. I miss your devotionals. You remind me of my sister and myself back in the 80's. We wore funky dresses too. That is not an insult, we were into funky. I have difficulty figuring out this computer. I can write you a COBOL program. COBOL was obsolete before I was finished with the class in 1983. Kind of burned me out on computers, they change so fast I couldn't keep up. I have an attention deficit and have poor abilities with punctuation. I think I'm being filtered out as A.I. Oh, I can't spell when I have my glasses off. Smoke detectors save lives, check your batteries! Looking forward to your next
My dad sold appliances for years. He told his customers never leave a dryer running when you aren't in the house. We had a house burn down here in town years ago from a dryer fire caused by lint build up and heat.. So very glad you caught it when you did.
I know it's hard to work laundry around allll the things, but that's exactly why we only do laundry when we can be in/very close to the house to keep an eye on things. Glad you guys caught it in time!
On horses: You may want to look into getting a Morgan or a Vanner Cob. Both are gentle, hardworking, good-tempered, and strong. Glad everything ended up okay and there weren't any losses. The lint duct can be cleaned out by unhooking the dryer and blowing it out with a leaf-blower from inside the house. Works wonders
So very glad you/Mica were able to pull out your dryer. I clean my basket every time i use my washer/dryer. We have never cleaned the tube in the 17+ years we have been here n this house. Can’t figure out how to even get to the line. Will definitely need to try now. So glad you and everything is alright. Thank you for the announcement. Be safe and stay healthy.
a good reminder to empty lint traps after every load! lint build up is a super huge fire hazard, especially since a lot of clothes are now made of very flammable synthetic fibres. so glad youre all safe.
Great reminder to not leave things on when we head out to the garden! I know I do it! Love your plaid jacket! I did a reverse image search and found it to order one!
That is scary about the dryer. My cousin had that happen and his whole basement burned up, thankfully him and his pup got out of the house safely. So I am very glad no one was hurt and nothing bad happened.
I almost caught our house on fire 2 weeks ago with the dryer. The same thing happened. I had been doing laundry all day and then right before I went to sleep I smelled something burning in the dryer. I pulled the dryer apart the next day and was in tears as I pulled out huge clumps of scorched lint. Our dryer is right below our kids rooms, that was the scariest thing that’s happen to me as a parent. I will never run the dryer while we’re sleeping ever again! Pull your dryer drum out and clean the back of the drum between where the heating element is and where the hot air blows into the drum. That’s what was burning on ours, it wasn’t the lint trap and duct work. I’m so glad your family is ok ❤
Oh I feel your anxiety on the fire. It’s been over 10 years since my son accidentally started a fire in our basement. My husband literally slept through it while I was frantically putting it out. Now over 10 years later if I even remotely smell anything that resembles burning I am all over the house sniffing.
Lady looked really sad…when Jess was talking about her, Lady laid her head on the stall wall. Glad she is going to a home where she will get lots of attention & treats. ❤
We recently moved onto 5 acres and are doing a shed to house conversion. We've been in a drought here in Northeast Alabama and fires have been a real issue. Thankfully we haven't dealt with it personally. I have been more mindful in our new home about fire. I won't run the dryer if I know no one will be home. I turn off heaters before leaving. Things like that. Doss Farms just lost their home to a fire. My grandparents lost their home to an electrical fire years ago. It is a tragic and heartbreaking event.
So glad you found the smoke before it became a fire. Our house burned down last year and it's been a nightmare rebuilding our life since then. I wouldn't want that for anyone. You're such great people.
I had a dryer fire once. A natural gas dryer. I was leaving for a weekend trip and drying a chenille sweater, for the first time. That LINT caught on fire. I am sooooo lucky I didn't blow up the entire townhome community. I never, ever leave my house now with my dryer running which I was about to do. I clean my lint trap sometimes 2-3 during a load of very linty drying. I'm so lucky!!! A side note - I was able to buy 30 pounds of local potatoes today from a local guy in a pickup truck! will last me a while!!
I lost my whole trailer to a dryer fire. Everything. It was a gas dryer and the belt broke and was just whipping and ignited sparks- being a trailer it went up in minutes. I’m so grateful you caught things early. Now every time I smell smoke I’m instantly checking everything. 😵💫
Sorry about your drier. You were very lucky. I learned a while back not to leave the dryer on when you aren't at home. I had a lady that I worked with and she had a large house and had left her dryer on while she was out. The dryer caught on fire and did major smoke damage to her house. Luckily no one was at home during that time. Someone saw the smoke and called the fire department. Apparentl,y this happens a lot more than people talk about. I'm so glad you caught it in time. God Bless!
My lord. I am so very thankful your family is ok. I am an adjuster and I can't tell you how many fire damaged homes I've been in that had fires start in the dryer. Blessings indeed!
God was taking care of you. I am so afraid of dryers that I never leave them going without me inside with them. Many people I know have had house fires because of their dryer.
The fabulous SHAE at Free Spirit Equestrian channel has an online course on buying horses! She’s such a special horse person! The story of Belle and her surprise foal is one of my favorite stories ever! And now Esmeralda (the foal) has a bff her same age. It’s like a fairy tale. 🥰 I’ve been hoping Lily Rhodes is watching her channel because she’s been taking riding lessons and bugging Justin about getting her a horse! Jeremiah’s Guardian Angel was on the job! Thanks, Angel of God! Please keep this beloved family and their property, pets, and health safe. Pray for them St. Joseph, Patron of families and property. 🙏
I am So, So Very glad you guys caught it when you did, one of my friends had a fire start because of their dryer and burned half of their house down. Thank God they were home but still it took less than 30 minutes from the time it caught on fire and the firefighters to put it out, to burn up 1/2 their home. It took a whole year before they could move back in.
I worked with a guy who had a major fire from a dryer. I'm surprised that it happened that quickly since you haven't lived there that long. It is good to talk about it because younger people might not know that this could happen.
My family had a similar dryer fire, maybe when I was in Jr. Hi. My mother and I were heading out to go shopping. No one else was home. As we walked out of the house, we noticed a hint of smoke in the air. We discovered that the dryer's drum had stopped turning, so the clothes were basically sitting on the heating element. We lost a load of laundry that day but not our house. We were SO thankful that we discovered it when we did. Never again did we leave the house with the dryer running.
Your always amazing and I'm thankful your all safe. Last year our hot water heater in our laundry room, caught on fire. Luckily I was putting kids to sleep in the basement also and I smelled it. All safe too. Frightening though. I feel ya.
My dryer pipe at the wall to exterior is only 18 inches long. I was shocked at how much hardened lint had to be scraped from that short pipe. I only think about it when my dryer starts taking longer to dry. This week I changed my AC filters, after just 2 months use, and they were also shockingly dirty. Its hard to remember all these maintenance tasks. I'm so glad Miah caught it fast & you are safe. Horses are wonderful creatures.
Thanks for today’s visit & I’m thankful that all is well now. My sister-in-law perished because of a dryer fire. Best not to leave them running at night, either. We put a sheet metal vent on ours after because the plastic ones aren’t as safe. Blessings to everyone 🤗💕🇨🇦
I live in Ventura, CA we have had multiple destructive wind driven fires. Firestorms are incredible. I think two fire related events in one day was scary too. Dryer was unexpected and the wind is capricious. Glad Miah went in the house when he did! Put your air cleaners out in living areas because smoke damage to health & houses is real.❣
Thankfully blessings surrounded you in the potential fires! We aren't immune from life challenges but we are blessed often for them to be less. Pretty horses. 😊🐸💙😎
I’m glad it wasn’t any worse. That is actually the reason I don’t run our dryer when I know I’m leaving the house and going to bed. That happened to a house in my town and it was sad
Oh gosh my mom always taught me to never run dryer when I’m not home and my husband always thought I was crazy but this is why! Definitely hope you get the vent and the dryer exhaust cleaned out So lucky you were home
I have had a dryer catch fire I think for a sweater string getting caught in one of the holes in the back. Scary situation but about a month ago we came home to what smelled like cast iron in the house.i checked the oven and it was on 350F... The last time we used it we had it on 400 so I knew we had it off when we left home. Our best guess is one of the cats jumped up and slipped, hitting the bake button twice.. Nothing was harmed but definitely shook us! Glad everything was okay at your place too!
I take my dryer out and clean the hose and the back of the dryer every year after a friend of mine had their dryer catch fire. That freaked me out since I had never thought of doing it. I also put a tag with the date of cleaning so I won't forget to do it once a year. I also take my hot water heater out every two years and clean the mineral build up out and replace the bottom element, also put a date on that too. I am so glad everything was found in time, boy I bet you had a real rush of adrenaline.
I love Lady’s story and it’s so nice she will have such a peaceful retirement. The first horse as a child that was MY horse was a retired thoroughbred race horse named Danny. He was the most even-tempered, empathetic, and gentle horse we ever had. As the youngest in the family it was pretty cool to have the biggest horse, due to his racing days he had a bad back so no one over 100lbs could ride him. It was a sad day when I outgrew him but we donated him to a children’s therapy retreat that utilized horses and other farm animals as therapeutic tools with kids. He was still quite young, I hope he spent many years there touching the hearts of kids who needed it 🖤
Horses are just another example of Gods creation. My grandson is severely autistic and has some other issues but has been going through Equine Therapy he looks so happy .
So glad Miah had to go in the house and you thought of checking the dryer. Good to have someone on high caring for you. The chickens will love the charred ground. I throw cooled ash and coals to my chickens and they will eat it right up. I think it works like a mineral supplement for them.
Hi Jessica. 🙋🏼♀️ I'm happy to hear your house didn't burn up. I loved seeing the horse's and hearing about them. I wish you would show more of the animals. Thanks.👍🇨🇦
When I was younger some kids that we went to school with had a house fire due to the dryer. Absolute tragedy, the oldest saved 2 of his 4 siblings. I'm so thankful you and your family are safe.
I hope whoever is taking Lady has another horse to be a companion for her. Horses are herd animals, and it's really important. I grew up with horses.
I was going to say the same thing.
I was just going to say the same. I've owned horses.
It's especially important because she's blind. A good horse buddy can actually act as a bit of a seeing eye horse for her.
Goats also make excellent horse companions.
I agree wholeheartedly! In fact, I believe in my soul that it's necessary for life and health that all animals have at least one other of their species to live with, commune with, as long as everyone is safe and happy. Wishing the absolute best for Lady.
Never have I clicked on a video faster .... Roots & Refuge PLUS horses ❤️
I DID HAVE IT UNDER CONTROL DON'T LET MIAH TELL U ANY DIFFERENT
god bless
Fire. We can't live without it, yet it can destroy us in a heartbeat. One of those strange things of life.
Thank You Lord for watching over our friends.
Thank you God for watching over Jess, her farm, family and the house. Please continue to watch over them. In Jesus' name. Amen. 🙏
Amen 🙌🙌🙌✝️🙌🙌🙌🙏💖
Amen
Amen
Wow! My parents have always harped on me to never run the dryer if I'm not going to be around. Guess they're right! Thanks for the PSA ❤
The land lord at my old house taped the dryer outlet to the wall....we ran it one day and it started melting the plug and filled the house with a burning wire smell. That day, we put up a clothesline and never used that dryer again. To this day, I don't run the dryer when we leave the house.
TWO videos from Jess in ONE day! Well, now you're just spoiling us!! 🤗
I was just thinking the same thing!❤️
Haha I actually didnt mean to publish the pepper video, and was trying to schedule it for tomorrow but once it was up I shrugged and said “oh well, bonus for them”
I agree love a Jess overload ❤👍😀
Those are going to be some really dirty chicken and eggs if they are egg layers!!
@RootsandRefugeFarm Bonus for us is right! Thank you. 💚 And now the unfinished caption/missing PDF makes total sense. 😁
My husband does appliance repair. He finds evidence of fire in least 50% of the dryer calls. There’s 50k dryer fires in the US every year. So glad you guys caught it in time!
Horses look great! Close call is right! I could see how that garden burning would generate just a little smoke!! LOL.
Sweet Jess, Thank God there was no house fire!!! OMG when I read your title on your post, my heart sank. Just recently another vlog I follow (Doss Farm) had a house fire.

We always clean the vent in the dryer but the hose I think was blocked. I had no idea what a threat that is but I’ll be vigilant now
@@RootsandRefugeFarm I didn't either until we found ours bent. Now we check ours every couple of months.
BEST VLOG THUMBNAIL PIC EVER.
I can tell you from experience it is not for the faint of heart to lose your home in a fire. Been there. Done that. It is life changing.
God bless Wes for rescuing Paisley! I am a big advocate for wild horses and leaving them wild wherever possible. (The BLM and cattle industry are no friends of them.) Horses are one of the most magnificent and amazing of all God's creatures! I can, and have sat and watched wild horse bands and their interactions with the members for hours and days.
Also, I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see y'all using rope halters and no bits! Yes! No metal in the mouth and no metal on the face. That's oh so good!

fire detectors are so important. We have them in our basement, and on the first and second floor , I'm glad everyone is OK ❤

Gosh those close calls really get ya. 😫 11:07
So thankful that y'all figured out what was smoking, before it became more of an issue! I'm sure it was frightening, to say the least.
Bless you 😊
Awwwwww, dont let lady be an only horse! If not another horse, at LEAST a goat. But not an only horse, please!
God is good! You guys caught it just in time

@@RootsandRefugeFarm oh totally, I'm glad you were able to find out where it was building up.
Thank goodness you guys went inside when you did.....fire is scary.
Great reminder to not leave things on when we head out to the garden! I know I do it!
Love your plaid jacket! I did a reverse image search and found it to order one!
Thank you !
Truly an eventful day! So glad the dryer was caught just in time.

Thanks for posting. Love your videos & Sweet Tomato Vine Homestead you ladies both have the hands down best videos.
I'm SO GLAD y'all caught that before it got bad. I've known 3 different families who lost homes due to dryer fires; so scary!

I have the “tell me everything” tattoo on my forehead too. I often lend it to my husband.
God was watching over you guys with that dryer.

Sorry about your drier. You were very lucky. I learned a while back not to leave the dryer on when you aren't at home. I had a lady that I worked with and she had a large house and had left her dryer on while she was out. The dryer caught on fire and did major smoke damage to her house. Luckily no one was at home during that time. Someone saw the smoke and called the fire department. Apparentl,y this happens a lot more than people talk about. I'm so glad you caught it in time. God Bless!
Bless you and your family. Lord keep them safe amen🙏🙏🙏🙏
Love the jacket!
My lord. I am so very thankful your family is ok. I am an adjuster and I can't tell you how many fire damaged homes I've been in that had fires start in the dryer. Blessings indeed!
God was taking care of you. I am so afraid of dryers that I never leave them going without me inside with them. Many people I know have had house fires because of their dryer.
Sending you and your family love and positivity! I really appreciate your videos! love from Iowa.❤
Glad your all ok.
I love your jacket
The fabulous SHAE at Free Spirit Equestrian channel has an online course on buying horses! She’s such a special horse person! The story of Belle and her surprise foal is one of my favorite stories ever! And now Esmeralda (the foal) has a bff her same age. It’s like a fairy tale. 🥰
I’ve been hoping Lily Rhodes is watching her channel because she’s been taking riding lessons and bugging Justin about getting her a horse!
Jeremiah’s Guardian Angel was on the job! Thanks, Angel of God! Please keep this beloved family and their property, pets, and health safe. Pray for them St. Joseph, Patron of families and property. 🙏
We had a dryer smolder too. Cleaned & found a sock had made it's way in! We keep a smoke alarm on it now.
I am So, So Very glad you guys caught it when you did, one of my friends had a fire start because of their dryer and burned half of their house down. Thank God they were home but still it took less than 30 minutes from the time it caught on fire and the firefighters to put it out, to burn up 1/2 their home. It took a whole year before they could move back in.
Birds and critters sometimes build nests in dryer vent tubes. This heads up will be a godsend to many!
I worked with a guy who had a major fire from a dryer. I'm surprised that it happened that quickly since you haven't lived there that long. It is good to talk about it because younger people might not know that this could happen.
My goodness! That’d all have me rattled too. I’m glad all is alright
My family had a similar dryer fire, maybe when I was in Jr. Hi. My mother and I were heading out to go shopping. No one else was home. As we walked out of the house, we noticed a hint of smoke in the air. We discovered that the dryer's drum had stopped turning, so the clothes were basically sitting on the heating element. We lost a load of laundry that day but not our house. We were SO thankful that we discovered it when we did. Never again did we leave the house with the dryer running.
Thank goodness Miah came inside when he did! That horrible flash of anxiety could have been so much worse. xo
So glad you and your family are safe! I pray that the Lord continues to keep a hedge of protection around your family! 💜
Your always amazing and I'm thankful your all safe.
Last year our hot water heater in our laundry room, caught on fire. Luckily I was putting kids to sleep in the basement also and I smelled it. All safe too. Frightening though. I feel ya.
My dryer pipe at the wall to exterior is only 18 inches long. I was shocked at how much hardened lint had to be scraped from that short pipe. I only think about it when my dryer starts taking longer to dry. This week I changed my AC filters, after just 2 months use, and they were also shockingly dirty. Its hard to remember all these maintenance tasks. I'm so glad Miah caught it fast & you are safe. Horses are wonderful creatures.
Thanks for today’s visit & I’m thankful that all is well now. My sister-in-law perished because of a dryer fire. Best not to leave them running at night, either. We put a sheet metal vent on ours after because the plastic ones aren’t as safe. Blessings to everyone 🤗💕🇨🇦
I live in Ventura, CA we have had multiple destructive wind driven fires. Firestorms are incredible. I think two fire related events in one day was scary too. Dryer was unexpected and the wind is capricious. Glad Miah went in the house when he did! Put your air cleaners out in living areas because smoke damage to health & houses is real.❣
The easiest and quickest way to clean out the dryer exhaust hose is to use a leaf blower (blowing from the house to the outside).
Thankfully blessings surrounded you in the potential fires! We aren't immune from life challenges but we are blessed often for them to be less. Pretty horses. 😊🐸💙😎
Scary fire in the dryer. Hope it’s all clean and house is smelling of cooking and not smoke. God bless you guys. Love your channel 😘🙏
We lost our house to a fire 2 days before Christmas last year…it’s terrifying! Dryers are one of the biggest culprits. So glad you caught it in time!!
I’m glad it wasn’t any worse. That is actually the reason I don’t run our dryer when I know I’m leaving the house and going to bed. That happened to a house in my town and it was sad
Oh gosh my mom always taught me to never run dryer when I’m not home and my husband always thought I was crazy but this is why!
Definitely hope you get the vent and the dryer exhaust cleaned out So lucky you were home
I have had a dryer catch fire I think for a sweater string getting caught in one of the holes in the back. Scary situation but about a month ago we came home to what smelled like cast iron in the house.i checked the oven and it was on 350F... The last time we used it we had it on 400 so I knew we had it off when we left home. Our best guess is one of the cats jumped up and slipped, hitting the bake button twice.. Nothing was harmed but definitely shook us! Glad everything was okay at your place too!
I take my dryer out and clean the hose and the back of the dryer every year after a friend of mine had their dryer catch fire. That freaked me out since I had never thought of doing it. I also put a tag with the date of cleaning so I won't forget to do it once a year. I also take my hot water heater out every two years and clean the mineral build up out and replace the bottom element, also put a date on that too. I am so glad everything was found in time, boy I bet you had a real rush of adrenaline.
Scary. Reminds me to have my dryer cleaned out. Thank you!
I didn't know yall had horses!! So cool.
I love Lady’s story and it’s so nice she will have such a peaceful retirement. The first horse as a child that was MY horse was a retired thoroughbred race horse named Danny. He was the most even-tempered, empathetic, and gentle horse we ever had. As the youngest in the family it was pretty cool to have the biggest horse, due to his racing days he had a bad back so no one over 100lbs could ride him. It was a sad day when I outgrew him but we donated him to a children’s therapy retreat that utilized horses and other farm animals as therapeutic tools with kids. He was still quite young, I hope he spent many years there touching the hearts of kids who needed it 🖤
Horses are just another example of Gods creation. My grandson is severely autistic and has some other issues but has been going through Equine Therapy he looks so happy .
So glad Miah had to go in the house and you thought of checking the dryer. Good to have someone on high caring for you. The chickens will love the charred ground. I throw cooled ash and coals to my chickens and they will eat it right up. I think it works like a mineral supplement for them.
Hi Jessica. 🙋🏼♀️
I'm happy to hear your house didn't burn up.
I loved seeing the horse's and hearing about them. I wish you would show more of the animals. Thanks.👍🇨🇦
My husband LOVES burn day. Sometimes he doesn’t tell me in advance and it gives me quite a start.
When I was younger some kids that we went to school with had a house fire due to the dryer. Absolute tragedy, the oldest saved 2 of his 4 siblings. I'm so thankful you and your family are safe.
Be sure to check for birds nesting to your vent from the outside. I've had that happen
Wow. Good catch, that could have been a disaster. You didn't need that.
I love dreaming with you guys so much I’m so grateful to listen you idea and watch life unfold
