My hubby and I lived a simple country life for 30 years of marriage on 35 acres, surrounded by another 250 acres of woods and meadows...no neighbors. We lived a mile off a gravel road, back in woods. Loved it, grew our own food, hunted and fished, heated home with outdoor wood furnace. My life turned upside down the day he died from tragic farm accident on our land. I found him, deceased. I lived in a "fog" for that first year. My extended family asked me to move closer to them....it wasnt safe for me to stay so isolated. (good folks helped me, bad characters tried to steal my tractor, break into my home etc. ) So, reluctantly, I sold our homesite and moved into a small suburban allotment, closer to other family members. Tried it for 3 years. House is going up for sale in Spring...moving back to rural country life again. My extended family has realized they want to "go country" and are coming with me lol! We plan to buy a "home place" with enough land for each of our homes, giving each other room and yet also, be there to help each other! Loving this future homesteading adventure!
This is my dream too. To live on some land with sons and grandchildren. Hopefully I can move back south by.March 2023. Wishing you love and blessings on your new Homestead.🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙
Omgosh! My dream! Sorry for your loss of your hubby ♡ I know one day it will be enevititabe it my case too aa hubby and I are over 60 now. But we have so many kids and grandkids and my dream is what you have now
Miss Lori, the Lord has given you a heart of gold and made you an heir to the throne so you are wealthy beyond belief. The Lord shines thru you. Always be “just you” because that’s what this world needs. I enjoyed this video as I sat and ate my lunch of leftover potato soup and cornbread. Now back to work making Christmas gifts. God bless you sweet online friend.
I cannot believe how timely this video has been for me, the heartfelt reminiscing, the concern with current events and attitudes. I try to keep a mindset of calm, purpose and reverence in my daily life, knowing what I can do, how to channel my energy and remember what is really within my control. Taking care of myself, my family, my place in the world. Thank you so much for this visit...God bless you and yours❣
Jesus is our Peace. Things will never be the same, every word of prophecy will be fulfilled. Stay in the Word and continue to pray unceasingly. 🙏🕊✝️ Lord bless y’all richly in Christ Jesus.🙏
I love watching you & Mr. Brown. Ms Lori, you have such grace. You have a calming effect. A lot of things you've mentioned, I too think about, but it doesn't do much good to get up in arms. I think that it will get worse, but God will take care of those who believe.
Ms. Lori, just a quick note to tell you that through everyone’s prayers I am some better. I know I will continue to improve through prayers and great people I have met on RUclips. God is great! Thank you so much.
What a special chat! You are who you are - the person God wants you to be. So blessed to have found your channel. Thanks for all you’re encouragement and for just being you! May God continue to richly bless you and your family ❤️
I loved this so much, Mrs. Lori! Felt like I was sitting down with my mama, who passed away in 2006. You've spoken so much truth. I love this country as well and have concerns, but God is definitely on the throne, and my trust is in Him to do whatsoever He pleases! Things may get harder, but I'm so grateful for your channel. I have learned so much about homesteading and cooking from scratch since we started our journey to sustainability almost 2 years ago. We all (hubby, our 2 youngest kiddos, and I) love to watch you and Mr. Brown on the homestead. This channel is truly a cool drink of water in the midst of all the garbage that is on the internet. I know exactly what you mean, not wanting to be anywhere else but on your peaceful land. We feel that same way, sitting on the front porch, or back deck, with a cup of coffee...watching the leaves fall and listening to the songs of many birds.
Your chickens are so pretty. I doiss having them. The neighbors guinea hens roam and either those hens or the turkeys left a couple of eggs in our yard last yr. What a gift.
Ms. Lori you are the voice of reason and truth. Nothing is new, just different than what we are used to. Historically there have been other pandemics, shortages and anything else you can worry about, maybe not that we have seen but it has all happened before. We are in troubling times for sure and I believe one thing is so many people have stopped relying on God, another is our nation has become lazy. You are absolutely right that we need to be praying for our country and our leaders. When I was in school we started each day with the pledge of allegiance and a prayer, now they don't do either.
Amen! The Lord is in charge here. He will see to the world as he sees fit. We can only trust in Him and pray for our country. Y’all are a genuine inspiration to us and don’t ever change! God bless!
Thank you for a very good video. I appreciate the fact that you are not all doom and gloom. Everything will work as God wants it to work. Love watching you and Mr. Brown! ❤️
I certainly agree with you. We always ate meals in the kitchen together and grace was said before meals and that is how it is, and my kids still talk about that and we’re happy we did. God has to be in your life and things just go easier that way.love your video.🐞🦬❤️
Loved this! So many of the things that we talked about on our wonderful visit! My favorite? When you talked about not being afraid. The Bible tells us repeatedly - Do not fear! Do not be anxious for anything! It is a command. If you trust in Christ as your Lord and Savior, you have to learn to put your worries and fear in His hands. Is it easy or natural, not really, but if you don’t, do you really trust in God and His plan for you? My sister and I were asked if we were worried or afraid of taking a road trip across the country by ourselves, during this “pandemic”. No, we weren’t. Two women alone traveling. One does not have the antibodies. We didn’t wear masks (well except a couple of times that we were forced to in order to receive services), and that ONLY in Nevada! We didn’t worry about social distancing, or being overly cautious. We met people, shopped, went to a homestead festival. And visited with amazing, dear friends! It’s time to get back to living, and not fear! God Bless! Xoxoxo
If you ever end up coming down with it, get the monoclonal antibodies right away. I have several elderly friends that came through it fine after getting those shots. They wouldn’t give them to me, as I was already on oxygen. But I found a local NP that gave me azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine. Best wishes!
Thank you Ms Vickie! God's Word teaches us that fear is of the devil! People may call me crazy but, I don't wear a mask unless I just absolutely have to and I don't wear a seatbelt either. I don't condemn anyone else if they do but, I feel like..no, I know that we are born to die because the Bible says that God knows the day we are born what day he will call us home. Our days are numbered. Some have longer than others. It doesn't really matter if your seatbelt is buckled or not. If it's your time nothing can keep you here. I realized that when my husband died at the age of 34. He was the picture of health. 6ft 2" 225lbs. No health issues at all. He woke up one morning with a knot behind his ear. He went to the Dr and was immediately put in the hospital. The Dr said that he had cancer. Only 6mo. to live. We went to every Dr and specialist in America and all the way to Germany. Prayers went out all over the world. Our missionary friends were praying. It lacked 2 days being 6mo. He died. I struggled with this for a while and then God spoke to me thru his word. We are born to die. When someone is killed in an accident. It's not an accident.. it's their time to die.. it's hard to accept but, it's a fact. I'm sorry for such a long post but, maybe someone is struggling with this. God is in control. My Mom didn't want me to go anywhere because I didn't have a Man to go with me. I had 2 young girls and I took them on vacations and refused to sit at home and be afraid. That's not fair to them. God was with us and still is. My girls are both grown now and have families of their own. I taught them to be careful but, not fearful because no matter what you do or where you go you can not run from death. When God gets ready for us HE will take us home. God already knows what is going to happen. Just trust Him and enjoy the life he has given us.
Lori , you are living a Wonderful Life. Many envy the life you live. Such a blessing to us who follow you. God has the whole world in His hands, my hope is that we trust him, and believe Him.
Lori your videos just soothe my soul. The life you and Mr. B are living is what my late husband and I so longed for. I know God had other plans for my life. I just love God and cling to my faith. He is showing me the way. Praying for you and Mr. B my friend.
I especially loved your video today and I know where you are coming from. When I was a child my dad was in the war so mom and I lived with grandma and grandpa (her parents) we had a big garden, chickens, grandpa built houses and mom worked in downtown Chicago as a bookeeper while grandma and I did house stuff. I learned so much from her, as busy as we were, we always took time to sit together at supper and then relax together. Once again I have that chance as my son and his family built a big house in the country and they made the walk out basement for me, 2 bedrooms with baths, a living room and a kitchen, all for me and the other half a rec room for the kids and and exercise/guest bedroom for the family. You have no idea how blessed I feel, and that my kids and grandkids actually want me around. We lost my husband (grandpa) 2 1/2 years ago and you have no idea how isolated I felt till the kids came up with this idea/solution and I am so blessed and happy. I rarely ever hear any traffic, but have deer, fox, wild turkeys and tons of birds, and I love it, it is so serene. I wouldn't want to be living in a city again, ever, God Bless you Miss Lori for agreeing with my way of life, Love, Miss Barbara
That 6 ft tall tomato plant is awesome! I would have to pick some green 'maters and slice them onto a cookie tray, blot them with paper towel, then put trays in freezer,. Once slices were frozen, I would put 8-12 slices per freezer bag. Whenever you wanted fried green tomatoes, just take frozen slices, dip in the coatings you like and then fry them still frozen as they will thaw while frying up. Mmm...fried green tomatoes, mash potatoes, pork chops ....lovely winter dinner!
I remember your video the day it was delivered. I’m so happy to see you happy today and everyday❤️ you have taught me so much. I’m very grateful for what you have taught me and the happiness & joy from you and Mr. Brown💜 take care Mrs.Lori💜 God bless you & yours
I know what you are talking about Mrs. Lori. When my kids and grandkids come over, I still feel alone. They are all on their phones, and never talk to me unless I ask them a question. They answer as little as possible and never look up from their phone. So sad.
Well Jackie I raised 8 kids (7 boys and one princess) and now have 13 grands. Sometimes this mama and grandma just says (so sweetly of course 😜😜) - PUT ALL THE DEVICES AWAY NOW!!!!! And they do… I think maybe it’s my marine drill Sargent voice that perhaps brings compliance 😂😂😂
I know what you mean, sometimes I haven’t seen anyone in a week to talk to, then when they come to see me ,they are on their phone and hardly even speak. Then give Grandma a hug we have to go.
Honey, next time they all come, say, "Ok everyone we are putting phones in this basket and we are going to talk/visit with each other. I want to know one piece of news about you, or something going on in your life. We will all have a turn to talk. It will be fun". If they start hem hawing, say, "I may not be here next year, so you had better enjoy me, now ".
Mrs. Lori I love watching your video's so very much!!! You and Mr. Brown are such an inspiration to me. I feel the same way as you do about all these things. I trust in the Lord and I love him and his will is better for everyone. I love it when Mr. Brown gives his readings and devotions. You help to remind me of the Love the Lord has for us. Love and Hugs and Prayers!!!
Mrs. Lori, I just love your message on faith. Faith has gotten me through so much, and I strongly and faithfully believe in the power of prayer. God bless you and Mr. Brown.
Love your channel, very uplifting! Some channels are getting so stressful to me, constantly urging people to prep, prep, prep! I have done some, but I refuse to be scared, just prepared, trusting in our God. Thanks Lori!🛐⚓🛐
Oh Ms. Lori, never stop being how you are. Thank you and Mr. Brown for being so humble and kind in all your ways. I learn a lot from watching you cook, farm and just being you. I got your fabulous cook book and I am so happy to have one. I cannot wait for a second edition. Yes, I pray for everyone and everything of this world. I thank God for waking me up and letting me have another day of life. It's not a great life, but I love it. I thank him for all that I have, because it's all from him. May God continue to bless you and your family and keep you all in his grace. Thank you again Ms. Lori
This was so good from you! I so enjoy your videos. You are so right about letting it get the best of a person. We all need to believe there’s a better life come again. I have a Brother that has a little basket by the door of his house. When the grown kids come home your phone goes in the basket.. he feels if you come to see them you don’t get on your phone. I think it’s a good thing. I really believe the Lord will take care of us all.
Good morning Mrs. Lori. We're at 54° w/ 100% chance of rain here in Northern Kentucky. Fall is here for sure, & I love it. 🍁 Love your hen's, they are such a joy to watch. Thank you! 🐔 🐥 🥚
Lori no truer words spoken! I was raised in the country an experienced your kind of life an those a great family values! Thank you for sharing! An praise God from whom all blessings flow! ❤🙏🇺🇸😊
Thank you Mrs Lori for sharing your wisdom and knowledge with us .The manner and grace in which you do so is a balm to my soul . Oh how I have always wanted to live in the manner you and Mr Brown do Unfortunately my husband walked away after 21 years leaving 2 children to support and then later 4 grandchildren I ended up working 2 jobs until I became disabled at 51 Now I'm on oxygen ,have several Auto.immune disorders along with other medical problems and have Macular Degeneration that is progressing pretty fast. I can't see to drive or read I'm very so grateful for GODS blessings and know HE will see me thru. I do feel like a burden though. My children are a whole other story but my 2 oldest grandchildren help me when they can .My granddaughter lives in Florida and wants me to move there ,but she has 2 young children and doesn't need to be burdened with me at this time. My grandson lives here in Arkansas ,but he is young and has his own life .I long to live in a quiet out of the way place in the country like I did when I was younger and the years I was married. I long to be self sufficient and at peace until my time comes . I was always a go getter and a hard worker .It's so frustrating to not be able to do like I used to ,but I do the best I can with the LORDS help. Blessings to you and Mr Brown
Susan when I was raising my young children I enjoyed taking care of m grandmother. Your granddaughter probably would love your wisdom and company. Sunny Florida might be good for you 🥰
YES, yes, yes! Miss Lori went on a fall walkabout! Thank you! I believe I could smell the deep soil in the hot house. Just what I needed. Chickens, check; ducks, check; high tunnel, check; pond, check; fall season, check...perfect. God is still in charge and we praise Him.
Ms Lori, I pray all the time for my family, country, the elderly and sick. Prayer is so powerful and it gives me piece when I talk to the Lord..God bless.
Such a great heartfelt chat. I love coming home after work to my place in the country too. So peaceful and quiet. I feel our country is going to learn how to live and make do like some of the ways our ancestors had to .
Thank you for sharing your life and love with us. I love seeing you and Danny together. Y’all just feed off of one another. You can see the love. Today your video was special to me. I love your greenhouse and seeing what you have growing. The chickens and ducks are fun too. Your talk at the end was amazing. We grew up the same way. We worked. We grew our food and killed and processed hogs and cattle. I no longer do this but I sure miss those days. We grew crops to feed the animals too. Your talk put me at peace this morning. We really do need to not worry so much. So many times I’m guilty of not putting it in God’s hands. Worrying never makes a bad situation better. God Bless Danny and Lori Brown.
Loved Ms. Lori had to say. In the good book anytime an angels shows up the first words they say is “be not afraid”. Thank you for the reminder Ms. Lori.
Ms. Lori you and Mr. Brown are living in your Heaven on earth. Absolutely Devine! I miss the Ozark living. There’s a sense of well-being working on your own land. Blessings and love sent y’all’s way! Thank you for sharing this!
Ma’am you truly are a kindred spirit and such a positive role model for many. Thank you for being you and for sharing yourself with us. You are a beautiful blessing. God Bless you and yours.
Blessings to you both for letting us be a part of your beautiful life…watching you gives me such peace and i think it’s also making me a better prrson❤️🙏🙏🌲
My husband and I were just talking about how we got by without air-conditioning when we were kids. We are in California and live a pretty suburban life, but my husband was raised in the central valley on a large farm.....thousands of acres. I was raised in a suburb of Los Angeles. We have always had a family dinner and when we have our family together there are no cell phones allowed. Our grandchildren are growing up and are teenagers, but love the no cell phone dinners where we talk, laugh and enjoy each other. We're all spoiled, but by family, faith and friendships. Like you, we don't worry and don't let the hate get to us. We feel it will all be resolved in good time. Those that let fear get to them, do foolish things. I love your honesty, your recipes and you and Mr Brown are such wonderful folks. I never miss a video. 🍂🎃❤🍁❤
Love this video it felt like you were sitting here in my living room with me while I watched you. I would have loved that homesteading life as a young woman but hubby would not have allowed it. He worked in grocery stores from the age of 12 into his seventies. He's gone now and I'm alone at 82 I love your channel and my God and my country. I grew up in Pocahontas I milk cows hoed corn and chopped cotton. My mother cooked on a wood stove, we had a basement and a place for canned goods down there. After milking and straining the milk it went down into the cellar. I loved the way I grew up all sitting around the table to eat our meals and thanking the Lord for all that we had. There were nine of us and Dad supported us as a barber.
im in mountain home so thankful my mama taught me how to cook and can, im 6o but crippld up from having to do heavy laborious work which i actually loved, but its taken its toll on me.
Love watching your videos. I eagerly look forward to every new posting. You bring peace to my life and remind me of my childhood growing up on the farm. You have encouraged me to get back to my roots and engage in the simplicity of life I have let slip away. I’m so grateful that I have found this channel. I look forward to getting your cookbook. Blessings to you and Mr. Dan.
Thank you Ms Lori for this video…your faith and wisdom inspires us all. I was raised on a farm in Iowa and have all those beautiful memories that you described. If only we could go back to that simple way of living. I feel blessed to have been able to experienced it. Love you both…your videos are the highlight of my day🌹
What a beautiful property, To have what you have is a blessing,and hard work. Enjoying the peaceful surroundings you have is beautiful. I'm alone and 64 yr old female I don't take anything for granted. I board with my brother and sister in law I'm so thankful to them for letting me stay with them
I so love when you share from your heart, you have so much wisdom. I always feel full inspired to stand firm in my faith. I am trying to share with my Grandson the values that God wants us to pass down in a troubling world. Thank you so much.
What a lovely visit! I had an amazing time Miss Lori. Can't wait for the next chat time. Blessings to you - thank you for lifting me up i needed your steadfast strength.♥️🙏♥️
I love that about refusing to letting the things of the world take over and destroy a good life to be lived!!! We have to enjoy the time we have or it slips by!!! I love your channel!! God is so good to us all!
Thank you for this video. It is so relaxing. I know what you mean about being in a restaurant and seeing people on their phones. It’s crazy! As we get older I think see the whole picture and I am always reflecting on this world, family and just people in general. I talk to the Lord with an ongoing conversation. Without hope....what is there!? God bless you.
Love watching your shows ,ive learned so much from you. I from Ky, i was raised in the c ountry ,we ate beans alot ,never complained about our food ,never knew any better. We were poor, but always had food to eat. We raised gardens, love the vegetables, momma worked hard canning and putting up things for the winter. I learned so much from my momma , thank you for your recipes. God bless you and Mr Brown and your family.. I'll be watching you on your show.
I'm new to your channel but finding it so refreshing to listen to you. I have to remind myself often that in this moment right now I am blessed with food to eat, a roof over my head, companionship, and being grateful wipes the worry away. I am like you though, I worry for my children and grandchildren and what kind of world they will have to manage to live in. It's then that I turn it over once again to God. In His hands we all are safe. Sending you both love from southern Arizona (at the border😬). By the way, it took me 63 years to FINALLY be able to live on a farm, my very small 10 acre farm, we call it the "Almost There" farm because every project is almost there lol.😃
Love this video chat. I was watching while baby sitting and my little one year old granddaughter was also watching and literally listening while playing with her little kitchen. She also tried to say chicken when you were talking to your chickens! 😁🥰
I agree with you 100% about mealtime. We sat together as a family every night for dinner when we were raising our kids. Now that it’s just my husband and I, we still sit at our table for every dinner. No electronics are allowed at our table, it is a time for conversation about the day. Bless you and your family.
Hello Lori. Great sharing your homestead with us. Stay the way you and your husband are. You're both lovely people and are blessed. Enjoy your evening! Be well.
Miss Lori thank you 💓. You are a wise good woman and a treasure for sharing your thoughs and your skills, your authenticity, your beliefs In a kind and gentle way. I love this video and I love knowing things you and Mr Brown are doing at the Holler. Bless you both. Your thoughts today were so welcome--just what I needed to hear. Saved the video to play from time to time. Love you two.
Hi Ms Lori it looks beautiful there at the moment, we are having a lot of rain and believe it or not some of my summer flowers are still going. Love Mary from England
I think about my granddaughters too. I’m so thankful to live near them and to be able to have them often. They love learning just about anything. My eldest is a mini-me and loves the garden. She especially loves sorting and organizing my seeds, lol. It’s such a blessing to share what little I know with them to hopefully make a difference.
I love the peacefulness at your homestead. I live in the mountains but we live in a town of about 500 or so. I would love to live further out by ourselves. I am at peace with the quietness.
Ms. Lori, you couldn't have put it in better words something my mother taught my sister and I is not to live in fear it can control your life in the worst way if you let it. Take your faith as one may have it and let it guide your life along with your faith keep your prayers and let God do the rest. Thanks so much for sitting on the porch and taking time out of your busy life to give us uplifting words of encouragement. May God Bless you and yours, Sharon
Ms Lori, you are the kindest, most gentle, caring person I have ever come across. You just capture my heart!!! I would LOVE to live in your environment. Please take care and be safe
I have had to face the tragic death of my hubby; fight twice to survive and live with cancer; learn to walk again after car accident caused by drunk driver; Rehab in nursing home after open heart surgery; reinvent my "new normal" over and over thruout my life....and it has not been from my own strength....it has been thru prayer, love and faith. God bless you and Mr. Brown....you are "my kind of people"!
My hubby and I lived a simple country life for 30 years of marriage on 35 acres, surrounded by another 250 acres of woods and meadows...no neighbors. We lived a mile off a gravel road, back in woods. Loved it, grew our own food, hunted and fished, heated home with outdoor wood furnace. My life turned upside down the day he died from tragic farm accident on our land. I found him, deceased. I lived in a "fog" for that first year. My extended family asked me to move closer to them....it wasnt safe for me to stay so isolated. (good folks helped me, bad characters tried to steal my tractor, break into my home etc. ) So, reluctantly, I sold our homesite and moved into a small suburban allotment, closer to other family members. Tried it for 3 years. House is going up for sale in Spring...moving back to rural country life again. My extended family has realized they want to "go country" and are coming with me lol! We plan to buy a "home place" with enough land for each of our homes, giving each other room and yet also, be there to help each other! Loving this future homesteading adventure!
Happy you are going back to the country Mary and your family joining you.
What a beautiful turn from tragedy. May God bless you and your family…that is my dream. Family, land, woods and meadows…simple, rich life.
This is my dream too. To live on some land with sons and grandchildren. Hopefully I can move back south by.March 2023. Wishing you love and blessings on your new Homestead.🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙
Omgosh! My dream! Sorry for your loss of your hubby ♡ I know one day it will be enevititabe it my case too aa hubby and I are over 60 now. But we have so many kids and grandkids and my dream is what you have now
So sorry for your loss ....so glad you're going back to where u love to be and family is going with you thats so awesome....
I actually prefer uncut and unedited videos, so please bring us more of them Miss Lori.
Yes!
You are a gem Ms. Lori. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, faith and kindness with us.
I love everything about your channel. I love, love, love Whippoorwill Hollow. The entire property is wonderful.
Miss Lori, the Lord has given you a heart of gold and made you an heir to the throne so you are wealthy beyond belief. The Lord shines thru you. Always be “just you” because that’s what this world needs. I enjoyed this video as I sat and ate my lunch of leftover potato soup and cornbread. Now back to work making Christmas gifts. God bless you sweet online friend.
Amen
Add my AMEN too♥️👑🙏🙌🇺🇸

Amen from me beautiful sister God bless you both ❤️🙏
I cannot believe how timely this video has been for me, the heartfelt reminiscing, the concern with current events and attitudes. I try to keep a mindset of calm, purpose and reverence in my daily life, knowing what I can do, how to channel my energy and remember what is really within my control. Taking care of myself, my family, my place in the world. Thank you so much for this visit...God bless you and yours❣
Jesus is our Peace. Things will never be the same, every word of prophecy will be fulfilled. Stay in the Word and continue to pray unceasingly. 🙏🕊✝️
Lord bless y’all richly in Christ Jesus.🙏
You are so smart and wise. I love listening to you. We have to be kind to each other,that is all we need to do. Spread kindness.
I love watching you & Mr. Brown. Ms Lori, you have such grace. You have a calming effect. A lot of things you've mentioned, I too think about, but it doesn't do much good to get up in arms. I think that it will get worse, but God will take care of those who believe.
Ms. Lori, just a quick note to tell you that through everyone’s prayers I am some better. I know I will continue to improve through prayers and great people I have met on RUclips. God is great! Thank you so much.
What a special chat! You are who you are - the person God wants you to be. So blessed to have found your channel. Thanks for all you’re encouragement and for just being you! May God continue to richly bless you and your family ❤️
Amen, Mrs. Lori!! We need to keep trusting in the Lord, even in Michigan!! Luv You.
I loved this so much, Mrs. Lori! Felt like I was sitting down with my mama, who passed away in 2006. You've spoken so much truth. I love this country as well and have concerns, but God is definitely on the throne, and my trust is in Him to do whatsoever He pleases! Things may get harder, but I'm so grateful for your channel.

Your chickens are so pretty. I doiss having them. The neighbors guinea hens roam and either those hens or the turkeys left a couple of eggs in our yard last yr. What a gift.
Prayer is the key to everything. You are so right miss Lori the world has changed so much, I pray every day for everyone God bless
Enjoyed this Ms. Lori. Thanks for taking us along.
Ms. Lori you are the voice of reason and truth. Nothing is new, just different than what we are used to. Historically there have been other pandemics, shortages and anything else you can worry about, maybe not that we have seen but it has all happened before. We are in troubling times for sure and I believe one thing is so many people have stopped relying on God, another is our nation has become lazy. You are absolutely right that we need to be praying for our country and our leaders. When I was in school we started each day with the pledge of allegiance and a prayer, now they don't do either.
Both of you have put so much work and love into your home, garden, and way of living. Your videos are an inspiration and blessing.
Amen!
The Lord is in charge here. He will see to the world as he sees fit. We can only trust in Him and pray for our country.
Y’all are a genuine inspiration to us and don’t ever change!
God bless!
Amen and AMEN!!!!!!
Thank you for a very good video. I appreciate the fact that you are not all doom and gloom. Everything will work as God wants it to work. Love watching you and Mr. Brown! ❤️
I certainly agree with you. We always ate meals in the kitchen together and grace was said before meals and that is how it is, and my kids still talk about that and we’re happy we did. God has to be in your life and things just go easier that way.love your video.🐞🦬❤️
Loved this! So many of the things that we talked about on our wonderful visit!
My favorite? When you talked about not being afraid. The Bible tells us repeatedly - Do not fear! Do not be anxious for anything! It is a command. If you trust in Christ as your Lord and Savior, you have to learn to put your worries and fear in His hands. Is it easy or natural, not really, but if you don’t, do you really trust in God and His plan for you?
My sister and I were asked if we were worried or afraid of taking a road trip across the country by ourselves, during this “pandemic”. No, we weren’t. Two women alone traveling. One does not have the antibodies. We didn’t wear masks (well except a couple of times that we were forced to in order to receive services), and that ONLY in Nevada! We didn’t worry about social distancing, or being overly cautious. We met people, shopped, went to a homestead festival. And visited with amazing, dear friends!
It’s time to get back to living, and not fear!
God Bless! Xoxoxo
If you ever end up coming down with it, get the monoclonal antibodies right away. I have several elderly friends that came through it fine after getting those shots. They wouldn’t give them to me, as I was already on oxygen. But I found a local NP that gave me azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine. Best wishes!
Amen Vickie. God is still on HIS throne, and our times are in HIS hands.
Thank you Ms Vickie! God's Word teaches us that fear is of the devil!
People may call me crazy but, I don't wear a mask unless I just absolutely have to and I don't wear a seatbelt either. I don't condemn anyone else if they do but, I feel like..no, I know that we are born to die because the Bible says that God knows the day we are born what day he will call us home. Our days are numbered. Some have longer than others. It doesn't really matter if your seatbelt is buckled or not. If it's your time nothing can keep you here. I realized that when my husband died at the age of 34. He was the picture of health. 6ft 2" 225lbs. No health issues at all. He woke up one morning with a knot behind his ear. He went to the Dr and was immediately put in the hospital. The Dr said that he had cancer. Only 6mo. to live. We went to every Dr and specialist in America and all the way to Germany. Prayers went out all over the world. Our missionary friends were praying. It lacked 2 days being 6mo. He died. I struggled with this for a while and then God spoke to me thru his word. We are born to die. When someone is killed in an accident. It's not an accident.. it's their time to die.. it's hard to accept but, it's a fact.
I'm sorry for such a long post but, maybe someone is struggling with this. God is in control. My Mom didn't want me to go anywhere because I didn't have a Man to go with me. I had 2 young girls and I took them on vacations and refused to sit at home and be afraid. That's not fair to them. God was with us and still is. My girls are both grown now and have families of their own. I taught them to be careful but, not fearful because no matter what you do or where you go you can not run from death. When God gets ready for us HE will take us home. God already knows what is going to happen. Just trust Him and enjoy the life he has given us.
Amen!!!
Amen 🙏 🙏 🙏 Mrs. Vicki Amen 🙏

Lori , you are living a Wonderful Life. Many envy the life you live. Such a blessing to us who follow you. God has the whole world in His hands, my hope is that we trust him, and believe Him.
Lori your videos just soothe my soul. The life you and Mr. B are living is what my late husband and I so longed for. I know God had other plans for my life. I just love God and cling to my faith. He is showing me the way. Praying for you and Mr. B my friend.
Salt of the earth people are faithful to God, family, friends and community. These are people I love to surround myself with.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on life and living on the homestead. You are a special person and a delight to listen to. God bless you all.
I especially loved your video today and I know where you are coming from. When I was a child my dad was in the war so mom and I lived with grandma and grandpa (her parents) we had a big garden, chickens, grandpa built houses and mom worked in downtown Chicago as a bookeeper while grandma and I did house stuff. I learned so much from her, as busy as we were, we always took time to sit together at supper and then relax together. Once again I have that chance as my son and his family built a big house in the country and they made the walk out basement for me, 2 bedrooms with baths, a living room and a kitchen, all for me and the other half a rec room for the kids and and exercise/guest bedroom for the family. You have no idea how blessed I feel, and that my kids and grandkids actually want me around. We lost my husband (grandpa) 2 1/2 years ago and you have no idea how isolated I felt till the kids came up with this idea/solution and I am so blessed and happy. I rarely ever hear any traffic, but have deer, fox, wild turkeys and tons of birds, and I love it, it is so serene. I wouldn't want to be living in a city again, ever, God Bless you Miss Lori for agreeing with my way of life, Love, Miss Barbara
Wonderful story....what a blessing!!❤🙏❤
Mrs Lori you are a amazing, you inspire so many people. Thank you for all you do.
Yes Thank you
That 6 ft tall tomato plant is awesome! I would have to pick some green 'maters and slice them onto a cookie tray, blot them with paper towel, then put trays in freezer,. Once slices were frozen, I would put 8-12 slices per freezer bag. Whenever you wanted fried green tomatoes, just take frozen slices, dip in the coatings you like and then fry them still frozen as they will thaw while frying up. Mmm...fried green tomatoes, mash potatoes, pork chops ....lovely winter dinner!
"Our Simple Life" We love it Ms Lori. We love it so much we are persuing it too. You are an inspiration.
WHAT A PEACEFUL LIFE YOU HAVE! GOD HAS TRULY BLESSED YOU AND MR. BROWN.❤
I remember your video the day it was delivered. I’m so happy to see you happy today and everyday❤️ you have taught me so much. I’m very grateful for what you have taught me and the happiness & joy from you and Mr. Brown💜 take care Mrs.Lori💜 God bless you & yours
I know what you are talking about Mrs. Lori. When my kids and grandkids come over, I still feel alone. They are all on their phones, and never talk to me unless I ask them a question. They answer as little as possible and never look up from their phone. So sad.
Well Jackie I raised 8 kids (7 boys and one princess) and now have 13 grands. Sometimes this mama and grandma just says (so sweetly of course 😜😜) - PUT ALL THE DEVICES AWAY NOW!!!!! And they do… I think maybe it’s my marine drill Sargent voice that perhaps brings compliance 😂😂😂
I know what you mean, sometimes I haven’t seen anyone in a week to talk to, then when they come to see me ,they are on their phone and hardly even speak. Then give Grandma a hug we have to go.
Time to start telling them no cell phones when at Grandma's house.
@@crystalfenton3768 amen!!!!!!
Honey, next time they all come, say, "Ok everyone we are putting phones in this basket and we are going to talk/visit with each other. I want to know one piece of news about you, or something going on in your life. We will all have a turn to talk. It will be fun". If they start hem hawing, say, "I may not be here next year, so you had better enjoy me, now ".
Mrs. Lori I love watching your video's so very much!!! You and Mr. Brown are such an inspiration to me. I feel the same way as you do about all these things. I trust in the Lord and I love him and his will is better for everyone. I love it when Mr. Brown gives his readings and devotions. You help to remind me of the Love the Lord has for us. Love and Hugs and Prayers!!!
Mrs. Lori, I just love your message on faith. Faith has gotten me through so much, and I strongly and faithfully believe in the power of prayer. God bless you and Mr. Brown.
Love your channel, very uplifting! Some channels are getting so stressful to me, constantly urging people to prep, prep, prep! I have done some, but I refuse to be scared, just prepared, trusting in our God. Thanks Lori!🛐⚓🛐
Oh Ms. Lori, never stop being how you are. Thank you and Mr. Brown for being so humble and kind in all your ways. I learn a lot from watching you cook, farm and just being you. I got your fabulous cook book and I am so happy to have one. I cannot wait for a second edition. Yes, I pray for everyone and everything of this world. I thank God for waking me up and letting me have another day of life. It's not a great life, but I love it. I thank him for all that I have, because it's all from him. May God continue to bless you and your family and keep you all in his grace. Thank you again Ms. Lori
This was so good from you! I so enjoy your videos. You are so right about letting it get the best of a person. We all need to believe there’s a better life come again. I have a Brother that has a little basket by the door of his house. When the grown kids come home your phone goes in the basket.. he feels if you come to see them you don’t get on your phone. I think it’s a good thing. I really believe the Lord will take care of us all.
Miss Lori I can hear your CRICKETS on your Video. And we thank you for your Prayers.and wisdom
I like your uncut video, Miss Lori. I feel like I've had a visit and garden walk with you!
Good morning Mrs. Lori. We're at 54° w/ 100% chance of rain here in Northern Kentucky. Fall is here for sure, & I love it. 🍁 Love your hen's, they are such a joy to watch. Thank you! 🐔 🐥 🥚
@ Cordy G we must live near each other. I am in S.W. Indiana 😊
Kenton County. 💞💓💕 🐴 🐎
Perfect just who you are
God bless you and Mr Brown
Nice hair cut Mrs Lori....TUBBS! what an excellent idea! Thank you Mrs Lori for sharing your afternoon with us....you are so right
This is such a special, from the heart video. Thank you for sharing your life with us!
Lori no truer words spoken! I was raised in the country an experienced your kind of life an those a great family values! Thank you for sharing! An praise God from whom all blessings flow! ❤🙏🇺🇸😊
Thank you Mrs Lori for sharing your wisdom and knowledge with us .The manner and grace in which you do so is a balm to my soul . Oh how I have always wanted to live in the manner you and Mr Brown do Unfortunately my husband walked away after 21 years leaving 2 children to support and then later 4 grandchildren I ended up working 2 jobs until I became disabled at 51 Now I'm on oxygen ,have several Auto.immune disorders along with other medical problems and have Macular Degeneration that is progressing pretty fast. I can't see to drive or read I'm very so grateful for GODS blessings and know HE will see me thru. I do feel like a burden though. My children are a whole other story but my 2 oldest grandchildren help me when they can .My granddaughter lives in Florida and wants me to move there ,but she has 2 young children and doesn't need to be burdened with me at this time. My grandson lives here in Arkansas ,but he is young and has his own life .I long to live in a quiet out of the way place in the country like I did when I was younger and the years I was married. I long to be self sufficient and at peace until my time comes . I was always a go getter and a hard worker .It's so frustrating to not be able to do like I used to ,but I do the best I can with the LORDS help. Blessings to you and Mr Brown
Susan when I was raising my young children I enjoyed taking care of m grandmother. Your granddaughter probably would love your wisdom and company. Sunny Florida might be good for you 🥰
I wish I was there with you
it looks so peacefull love
The country and the simple
Live thank you for sharing
God bless you and family
YES, yes, yes! Miss Lori went on a fall walkabout! Thank you! I believe I could smell the deep soil in the hot house. Just what I needed. Chickens, check; ducks, check; high tunnel, check; pond, check; fall season, check...perfect. God is still in charge and we praise Him.
Ms Lori, I pray all the time for my family, country, the elderly and sick. Prayer is so powerful and it gives me piece when I talk to the Lord..God bless.
Such a great heartfelt chat. I love coming home after work to my place in the country too. So peaceful and quiet. I feel our country is going to learn how to live and make do like some of the ways our ancestors had to .
Just love you and Mr. Brown. Common folk. Never change.
Thank you for sharing your life and love with us. I love seeing you and Danny together. Y’all just feed off of one another. You can see the love. Today your video was special to me. I love your greenhouse and seeing what you have growing. The chickens and ducks are fun too. Your talk at the end was amazing. We grew up the same way. We worked. We grew our food and killed and processed hogs and cattle. I no longer do this but I sure miss those days. We grew crops to feed the animals too. Your talk put me at peace this morning. We really do need to not worry so much. So many times I’m guilty of not putting it in God’s hands. Worrying never makes a bad situation better. God Bless Danny and Lori Brown.
You are wonderful, just how you are, and thank-you for sharing your wonderful self and your beautiful life!
Loved Ms. Lori had to say. In the good book anytime an angels shows up the first words they say is “be not afraid”. Thank you for the reminder Ms. Lori.
Ms. Lori you and Mr. Brown are living in your Heaven on earth. Absolutely Devine! I miss the Ozark living. There’s a sense of well-being working on your own land. Blessings and love sent y’all’s way! Thank you for sharing this!
I dearly love who you are, May God Bless you and you're family!
Ma’am you truly are a kindred spirit and such a positive role model for many. Thank you for being you and for sharing yourself with us. You are a beautiful blessing. God Bless you and yours.
Thank you. This is like friends sitting and visiting. I really enjoyed it.
Thank you Lori for a look into your life. Just beautiful. May you continue in peace there.
Blessings to you both for letting us be a part of your beautiful life…watching you gives me such peace and i think it’s also making me a better prrson❤️🙏🙏🌲
I
AMEN! I agree with everything you said, Mrs Lori, I love videos like this. God bless you
My husband and I were just talking about how we got by without air-conditioning when we were kids. We are in California and live a pretty suburban life, but my husband was raised in the central valley on a large farm.....thousands of acres. I was raised in a suburb of Los Angeles. We have always had a family dinner and when we have our family together there are no cell phones allowed. Our grandchildren are growing up and are teenagers, but love the no cell phone dinners where we talk, laugh and enjoy each other.
We're all spoiled, but by family, faith and friendships. Like you, we don't worry and don't let the hate get to us. We feel it will all be resolved in good time. Those that let fear get to them, do foolish things.
I love your honesty, your recipes and you and Mr Brown are such wonderful folks. I never miss a video. 🍂🎃❤🍁❤
So beautiful and peaceful I think sometime we take the beauty for granted thank you god for all you do
Love this video it felt like you were sitting here in my living room with me while I watched you. I would have loved that homesteading life as a young woman but hubby would not have allowed it. He worked in grocery stores from the age of 12 into his seventies. He's gone now and I'm alone at 82 I love your channel and my God and my country. I grew up in Pocahontas I milk cows hoed corn and chopped cotton. My mother cooked on a wood stove, we had a basement and a place for canned goods down there. After milking and straining the milk it went down into the cellar. I loved the way I grew up all sitting around the table to eat our meals and thanking the Lord for all that we had. There were nine of us and Dad supported us as a barber.
Love it, thank you
im in mountain home so thankful my mama taught me how to cook and can, im 6o but crippld up from having to do heavy laborious work which i actually loved, but its taken its toll on me.
I always look forward to your vids miss Lori, you and your hubby are GEMS in this world!!!
Love watching your videos. I eagerly look forward to every new posting. You bring peace to my life and remind me of my childhood growing up on the farm. You have encouraged me to get back to my roots and engage in the simplicity of life I have let slip away. I’m so grateful that I have found this channel. I look forward to getting your cookbook. Blessings to you and Mr. Dan.
One day our children will feel this way as well❤❤
Thank you Ms Lori for this video…your faith and wisdom inspires us all. I was raised on a farm in Iowa and have all those beautiful memories that you described. If only we could go back to that simple way of living. I feel blessed to have been able to experienced it. Love you both…your videos are the highlight of my day🌹
What a beautiful property,
To have what you have is a blessing,and hard work.
Enjoying the peaceful surroundings you have is beautiful.
I'm alone and 64 yr old female I don't take anything for granted.
I board with my brother and sister in law I'm so thankful to them for letting me stay with them
They are very blessed.
I so love when you share from your heart, you have so much wisdom. I always feel full inspired to stand firm in my faith. I am trying to share with my Grandson the values that God wants us to pass down in a troubling world. Thank you so much.
What a lovely visit! I had an amazing time Miss Lori. Can't wait for the next chat time. Blessings to you - thank you for lifting me up i needed your steadfast strength.♥️🙏♥️
Sun oven in the greenhouse! That’s BRILLIANT! I never thought of that!
You live in Heaven on earth! Love you and your sweet approach to life. God bless you and your family!
I love that about refusing to letting the things of the world take over and destroy a good life to be lived!!! We have to enjoy the time we have or it slips by!!! I love your channel!! God is so good to us all!
The lady is truly awesome 👍👍 And thats to say the least,,,,,,,,,,, 🙏
Love watching your videos for your recipes and your wisdom. Such a calming thing. Thank you. 💕
Thank you for this video. It is so relaxing. I know what you mean about being in a restaurant and seeing people on their phones. It’s crazy! As we get older I think see the whole picture and I am always reflecting on this world, family and just people in general. I talk to the Lord with an ongoing conversation. Without hope....what is there!? God bless you.
Love watching your shows ,ive learned so much from you. I from Ky, i was raised in the c ountry ,we ate beans alot ,never complained about our food ,never knew any better. We were poor, but always had food to eat. We raised gardens, love the vegetables, momma worked hard canning and putting up things for the winter. I learned so much from my momma , thank you for your recipes. God bless you and Mr Brown and your family.. I'll be watching you on your show.
Thank you for sharing
I'm new to your channel but finding it so refreshing to listen to you. I have to remind myself often that in this moment right now I am blessed with food to eat, a roof over my head, companionship, and being grateful wipes the worry away. I am like you though, I worry for my children and grandchildren and what kind of world they will have to manage to live in. It's then that I turn it over once again to God. In His hands we all are safe. Sending you both love from southern Arizona (at the border😬). By the way, it took me 63 years to FINALLY be able to live on a farm, my very small 10 acre farm, we call it the "Almost There" farm because every project is almost there lol.😃
Love you the way you are. Sweet Godly woman that we so love and appreciate. Never change many of us look up to you.
Love this video chat. I was watching while baby sitting and my little one year old granddaughter was also watching and literally listening while playing with her little kitchen. She also tried to say chicken when you were talking to your chickens! 😁🥰
You are such a caring, loving person with a heart of gold.❤️
I agree with you 100% about mealtime. We sat together as a family every night for dinner when we were raising our kids. Now that it’s just my husband and I, we still sit at our table for every dinner. No electronics are allowed at our table, it is a time for conversation about the day. Bless you and your family.
Hello Lori. Great sharing your homestead with us. Stay the way you and your husband are. You're both lovely people and are blessed. Enjoy your evening! Be well.
I just love it when you do these kinds of videos!! Love your life Ms Lori!
I love you Miss. Lori. You and Mr. Brown are my kind of people, wholesome and down to earth.
Miss Lori thank you 💓. You are a wise good woman and a treasure for sharing your thoughs and your skills, your authenticity, your beliefs In a kind and gentle way. I love this video and I love knowing things you and Mr Brown are doing at the Holler. Bless you both. Your thoughts today were so welcome--just what I needed to hear. Saved the video to play from time to time. Love you two.
Love you and what you stand for. You are such a Godly lady. The simple life is the best life.
This was very uplifting to my spirit. I love the Lord also and this came through in your talk, MS Lori! Pray, Pray, Pray! The best is yet to come!
I just enjoy watching you an your husband. Your recipes are amazing . I'm a new viewer. But have really come to enjoy you both.
Thank you so much!
Hi Ms Lori it looks beautiful there at the moment, we are having a lot of rain and believe it or not some of my summer flowers are still going. Love Mary from England
Wishing Mr. Brown Happy Birthday 🎂!!! Have a blessed day
I think about my granddaughters too. I’m so thankful to live near them and to be able to have them often. They love learning just about anything. My eldest is a mini-me and loves the garden. She especially loves sorting and organizing my seeds, lol. It’s such a blessing to share what little I know with them to hopefully make a difference.
What a gift you have given us. This little snapshot into your little piece of paradise and who you are. Thank you.
Thank you
You work real hard I love watching your videos sometime s it takes me a min to watch busy alot
I love the peacefulness at your homestead. I live in the mountains but we live in a town of about 500 or so. I would love to live further out by ourselves. I am at peace with the quietness.
It's a Blessing,
God knows I need this, xoxoxo
We take our hummingbird feeders down the end of september..What a beautiful day to be outside...
Ms. Lori, you couldn't have put it in better words something my mother taught my sister and I is not to live in fear it can control your life in the worst way if you let it. Take your faith as one may have it and let it guide your life along with your faith keep your prayers and let God do the rest. Thanks so much for sitting on the porch and taking time out of your busy life to give us uplifting words of encouragement. May God Bless you and yours, Sharon
Ms Lori, you are the kindest, most gentle, caring person I have ever come across. You just capture my heart!!! I would LOVE to live in your environment. Please take care and be safe
Thank you for this beautiful, calming and encouraging video!
Miss Lori, I do believe this is one of the loveliest videos you’ve done. Pure and simple… and inspiring. God bless you and your family.
I have had to face the tragic death of my hubby; fight twice to survive and live with cancer; learn to walk again after car accident caused by drunk driver; Rehab in nursing home after open heart surgery; reinvent my "new normal" over and over thruout my life....and it has not been from my own strength....it has been thru prayer, love and faith. God bless you and Mr. Brown....you are "my kind of people"!
