Good morning to you. I'm a 74 year old widow living on 16 acres in Southwest Louisiana. I always wake up early for coffee and a rosary. After that, I anxiously awaiting your videos. I admire all you do and how you put your family first. Have a blessed week.
Good morning , I must thank for what you do , my mom passed away 2 days ago and she was a big fan of your videos . She and I shared them and she found your ways to be thoughtful , loving and positive ! Mom was a beautiful woman , will be missed tremendously ! So thank you for bringing joy into her life , your work extends much further than the kitchen . Bless you and thanks again !
God bless you! I miss my mom all the time. I wish we had had time to share after I retired. She was so funny even though she drove me nuts. I don’t think I appreciated her enough.
My son is 40 years old and is a special needs boy. He's like a child, and in the evenings, I'll ask him if he wants to watch the Zimmermans and he just loves your videos. He'll watch all your videos from the children playing, to the animals videos and to you cooking. So thank you for sharing your wonderful family and lifestyle with us. God Bless you all ❤
Beautiful sunset videos, I see you are enjoying being a grandma!! I understand completely. I have 9 grandkids and a great grand baby on the way! One tiny glitch our expected grandson will be born with club feet, but the treatment is very effective, so prayers please for a good outcome.
Oh what a pleasant video! I was just filled with peace and the sweetest sense of joy as the harvest party was winding down. You are a gifted story-teller, Ruthann! Thank you for "The Tale of Dave and Jackson". I'm looking forward to the ongoing saga when you add a jenny! Blessings, Marie
I'm so glad Dave and Jack finally became friendlier with each other. Your party sure looked like fun for all who attended. I love Saturday mornings with you!
Good morning RuthAnn and sweet family! I hope Dave and Jackson are getting along well. What a great time for the family and community gathering for a pig roast and just good times. Have a very blessed day everyone!
What a beautiful life! You are so blessed. God is so good. My husband and I bought a piece of property about six years ago. It’s very small only 4 acres but we started learning about homesteading and we were in our late 50s at the time. Oh how I wish we would’ve started younger when our kids were little.I love watching your life.
We had mules growing. Pearle, Merle, and Dolly. Loved them. We use to race them in the pasture or down the gravel road. They could jump fences. Growing up on the farm was awesome.
What an interesting video. Thank you for sharing the process of acclimating the donkeys. They’re adorable. Also I have to say you have the most amazing sunrises and sunsets in your little corner of Iowa! ❤
Your property is quite beautiful as I can see all the hard work and attention you give to it. Sunrise and sunset is outstanding. I can see why you would enjoy your home so much. You have quite the green thumb when it comes to growing your produce and flowers. My enjoyment is quilting and your shot of the quilts on the clothesline was a pleasure to see. Enjoy your videos and the content you bring to social media. Bless you and your family.
Oh no!!!!! I think I need a donkey!!!! that was such a beautiful gathering, I am sure you helped create memories that will bless these friends forever.
I'm so pleased that you were able to figure out how to get Jackson and Dave to settle their differences. Your Fall Gathering looked liked everyone had a good time. ❤️
Ruth Ann you're going to laugh at me. I was looking in donkey's eyes and I see a weariness that I know will leave very quickly with all the love and kindness that you will share with her. You are such a kind and loving person❤
That was beautiful! It will be fun to see Jackson and his future family grow. I'm glad Dave is finding some peace as well! What a great gathering! I remember having hay rides but there was no quilts to soften the hay lol. Have a great weekend!
Good morning 🌞, I woke up at 4:20 and got busy unpacking and putting stuff away in my new home. Now I just have to continue to pray that the divorce will be final next week and I can move on with peace and happiness 🧡🥰 Lorie 😊
@@cynthiafisher9907 thank you. Yes, I certainly never got married expecting him to want a divorce. However, I was faithful to my vows and gave my everything.
Welcome Jackson! As a horse trainer, Please be careful leaving nylon halters on your animals while they are out in pasture. They do not break well if the animals get them caught on things and I’ve seen several get severely injured or k*lled that way. They also may run or cut into the skin if they are worn 24/7 for too long. Same with rope halters but leather ones do tend to breakaway easier.
Just beautiful…may God continue to give His blessings to you all …in all your endeavors! His light definitely shines on you & your home life! God’s blessings be yours! 🫶👏🏻😌
Good morning! You certainly had a busy time with donkeys and the hog roast. Making memories with family and friends. That is the best! Have a good week.
What a fun video thanks for showing the hog on the roaster and about the donkeys we’ve only had a horses and they were animals so they love being together
Good morning! I absolutely love watching your videos and your beautiful family on your farm. You do such an incredible job. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I enjoy how much love and affection your family puts into your animals and I love seeing how they roasted the hog and it makes me want to come back to see more videos thank you!
Your new building is a wonderful party venue. Looks like you had a great time. Sharing like this sets a wonderful example of gracious sharing for all your children.
That was really sweet of your family to host a harvest party for your community! I would like to do something like that for our church, but it would make me nervous. I loved the shot of you holding little Winston! I have a little grandson born the same week, his name is Walter, Wally for short. They are so much fun!
Wow looks like u had so much fun and the. Building is going come handy for those big functions and family gatherings I’m sure Dave and Jackson will be fine it just might take a bit of time
I have two male donks (both rescues, both geldings) and they play and get along together like boys do. They chase each other, roughouse, grab each others necks and kick at each other and generally try to make the other annoyed. But I know they’d be lost without each other. So, brothers basically. I think yours will get there!
Such a great day for family and friends gathering! They made me so sad as I really miss rack riding with the tractor 🚜 looks like good food and great people to share the fun with each other! ❤❤
cant wait to show my granddaughter the part of the video with Dave and Jackson. Our favorite book to read together is Wonkey Donkey. Now she is using her granddaughter magic to talk grandpa into letting us get a donkey. lol. It looks like you had a wonderful gathering of friends, I just love those community gatherings we need more of that in this world.
Hi Iowa! Texas here. Do you all do any needle work? I’m a stitcher and quilter. I’d enjoy seeing some stuff! God bless your dear family and your channel. Who needs TV when there are so many great Americans to enjoy sharing life with?
To share our five acres is a highlight of the work done here for sure! What a beautiful celebration ❤! It will be so fun to see a baby donkey!!! All you do inspires me to keep my chin up and keep going!!! God bless you all and keep you healthy and safe all winter!
Love your videos Ruthann!!! Very interesting about your process with the donkeys, hope it continues to go well👍 Totally enjoyed the video about your family/community gathering! That looked so fun!!! Blessings to you and your family!❤❤❤
Always impressed with you Ruth Ann. You and your family were so patient with both Jackson and Dave. Also, the Harvest party looked so impressive, so many friends and of course, great food! Bless you for all you do for your RUclips followers and your community!
Thank you for the video, RuthAnn! Jack is my buddy! Slight correction, though, he was with a Jenny when we first got him from a friend of mine. We tried to get both of them but unfortunately the Jenny was committed to someone else before we asked about them. I'm not sure, but I'll find out how old he is for you. I'm thinking 10-11. I'm so happy that he's living his best life now, and that him and Dave have become buddies! I'll have to stop by and see him one of these days.
What fun! Your love for all Gods creations is wonderful to watch. Saturday mornings videos and coffee are a perfect start to the weekend. Thank you for sharing. Great hayride I love the insight about your donkeys.
Oh thank you. I love your videos. I started watching about the time you got Dave. How fun the party must have been. I've been going through some tough things lately and I get easily distracted, but I've started to say to myself, "Do the next right thing." It helps. You are a delight. The young boys have really grown this summer. Have a wonderful safe week.
❤Another Wonderful Saturday Morning to You RuthAnn & Family! I am So Hoping Dave & Jackson can Keep Becoming Best Friends. I was Wondering If Dave Would Say HEY ENOUGH LIL GUY 😅 The Autumn Harvest Looked Very Well Attended & Such a Great Blessing! ❤After All the Devastion & Awful Weather Events Lately, It was a Welcome Relief to ENJOY THIS TIME THIS MORNING! ❤ God Bless You All there & That Beautiful /Handsome little Grandson is Sure Growing. ❤
Oh Ruth Ann this reminds me of the times I grew up in a slower and more special time. I pray that one day we all can live that again but we may have to wait for our days in heaven. God Bless you all!
I love your new opening videos and the traditional home remedy recipes you’ve been sharing. Thanks so much for sharing your family. You have truly lovely children.
It might have helped to have them separated by a fence for a while. Any animal new to a place, or getting a new animal in their space, might react badly. Let them learn each other through a fence for several days/weeks, then mix them.
Things will work out with the new donkey. Everyone looks like they were having a lot of fun. It looked like it was the perfect day for the Harvest Party.
Love your beautiful farm and your beautiful spirit. Your sunsets are so big and beautiful. Have learned a lot from you and I am 72 years old….hey, guess you can teach an old dog new tricks..lol
What a beautiful life. I love the fact that you tried to find Dave a friend. 🥰Hopefully they will eventually figure it out. 🤞 I think Dave loves people so much now, He’s not used to another donkey, especially a stud donkey. 🫏 Hopefully it won’t get worse when you get a Jenny 🙏. I guess all you can do is try. What a wonderful day for fellowship with you being able to serve a hog in a way most people have never had it. I have had it once and it’s really delicious. That will be the freshest pork you can get, that’s for sure!!! God bless you as always. 🙏❤️
Such an interesting video! I’ve never known much about donkeys, so I found it fascinating how you introduced Dave and Jackson and how they each fell into their perceived roles! How was the pork? Did you have a lot left over? Looks like roasting a hog is a very big undertaking. ❤-Brenda

It’s so hard to lose a mom, sorry for your loss.

Wowza!! You had a HUGE Harvest party crowd! What a wonderful day for everybody. The Lord painted a beautiful sunset to end an epic day.
I LOVE Dave! I hope they become friends. What a glorious life. God has blessed you. ❤
Your pasture videography in at sunrise is stunning! I love watching your new videos on a lazy Saturday morning.
Dave is so sweet. I hope Jackson and Dave become friends. Looks like such a nice get together with friends and family.❤
Thank you for bringing me joy with your videos. You’re so inspiring and I’m most happy to call you a sister in Christ.
What beautiful quilts!
I saw those too❤❤😊
Wonderful video!! I absolutely loved the harvest party. There is nothing better than sharing Gods bounty with family and friends.
This was so interesting! I'm homeschooling my boys and this lead to us having a whole lesson about farm animals. Thank you for the inspiration!
Beautiful sunset videos, I see you are enjoying being a grandma!! I understand completely. I have 9 grandkids and a great grand baby on the way! One tiny glitch our expected grandson will be born with club feet, but the treatment is very effective, so prayers please for a good outcome.

The picture of the donkeys and the sunset was beautiful and could be a postcard.
Good morning RuthAnn and sweet family! I hope Dave and Jackson are getting along well.
What a great time for the family and community gathering for a pig roast and just good times.

I'm so pleased that you were able to figure out how to get Jackson and Dave to settle their differences.
Your Fall Gathering looked liked everyone had a good time. ❤️
Yes, RuthAnne. GOD IS GOOD! I've been on hay rides before, but never one so fancy. I'd have loved one covered in homemade quilts! ✨️🙏🏻✨️✝️✨️🙏🏻✨️
Ms. Ruthann thank you for sharing your lives in such a positive manner
Great video and someone who has cooked a couple hundred hogs that pig looked wonderful!!! Have a great weekend!!!
Awesome video you folks are so compassionate with human n animals alike. So enjoy all your content.
Ruth Ann you're going to laugh at me. I was looking in donkey's eyes and I see a weariness that I know will leave very quickly with all the love and kindness that you will share with her. You are such a kind and loving person❤

Wow looks like u had so much fun and the. Building is going come handy for those big functions and family gatherings I’m sure Dave and Jackson will be fine it just might take a bit of time
I think Dave gave Jackson a few good kicks when you weren't looking. 😂
That'll learn him
I have two male donks (both rescues, both geldings) and they play and get along together like boys do. They chase each other, roughouse, grab each others necks and kick at each other and generally try to make the other annoyed. But I know they’d be lost without each other. So, brothers basically.

The kids roller skating in the background is priceless!
What a wonderfull sharing loving family you are! God bless you!

Nice fall decoration on your porch.

Enjoyed this video of the Homestead animals especially the donkeys. Lovely huge harvest party❤
How fun! Ruth Ann, you and yours did a great job! And yes, God is good!
Good morning from Alberta Canada
Yes…God is Great!!
It might have helped to have them separated by a fence for a while. Any animal new to a place, or getting a new animal in their space, might react badly. Let them learn each other through a fence for several days/weeks, then mix them.
We used to have hay rides when we were kids around this time of year, right on into Halloween. So fun.
I just love your videos they bring me lots of joy I am 70 years old I could watch them all day long
The sunset on the pasture is just stunning
I remember when I was young and Mom and Dad did butchering pigs they would always take a torch to the pig to get all the hairs off it worked very well
Good morning from, Yorkville Illinois. ❤ Have a blessed day 😘
Good morning from Michigan ❤
I enjoy your videos so much. So educational and relaxing. Thank you RuthAnn.
Good morning from Tennessee
Anyone else wiping their eyes? What a blessed life.

How was the pork? Did you have a lot left over? Looks like roasting a hog is a very big undertaking.

That pig looks so good. Nothing like a special day with a bunch of family and friends. God bless you all.❤️
Praise God for your Saturday morning videos!
