Awe I adore how he called you beautiful & admired your dress!
Jenn the dress is really pretty. The color looks good on you. Hi Zach
I agree! I love that dress!!!
Jenn, you are rockin' that dress girl! I think we women need to wear more dresses.
Zack, the look on your face when you saw the snake. Priceless. Jen, I love your smile.
My favorite thing about your channel is how you make it seem more like hanging out with family then random strangers. Love you guys!!
❤️❤️
Agree!!!!
Heights, spiders and snakes. I'm totally with you on all three.
I hear that
Same here
Me too!
Yeppers
Im ok with heights, iffy on snakes. The most frightful nasty thing was a full grown wolf spider in the house. That thing stretched out was almost as big as the palm of my hand and very hairy. Thank God for vacuum cleaners. GROSS!!
Hey y'all..please be aware that linseed oil can be dangerous. Always separate used rags from the oil as it will heat up and has been known to self combust causing a fire. Love to all..
Good info.
Yes, clean the used rags with a detergent and water then lay them flat to dry. Pretty sure that's what it says on the jug. I use it on my raised beds.
Yep, that’s what happened to my neighbor’s house two doors down. We are in patio homes so we are very close to each other. It burned her house down and even melted her vehicles. Fortunately it was put out before it caught the houses next door on fire.
True. Videos on RUclips about the danger of linseed oil. The one I watched said to spread the used rags out to try completely before disposing of. Will cause fires.
Love the dress! You’re a strong woman dealing with the pain and cooking dinner for your family 💜
I love how you complement your beautiful wife. It makes my heart happy. I also hate snakes. My daughter is terrified of spiders lol.
I love the floppy ear goats, they are so goofy and always have a smile on their face.
Her whole world will open up when she learns how to read. How exciting for her. Go girl💝🇨🇦
I LOVE heights. At 60 I still climb on the 3rd story roof to clean my gutters, climb to the top of my 20-30 foot trees for fruit and trimming. 🤣🤣
Love flying too. 😁
Snakes and spiders I avoid but don’t run from.
🤔can’t think of anything I’m afraid of other than the random lunatic liberal. 🤣
I love your “day in the life of” a normal family. It’s like visiting with friends you really like.
Bless you all. ❤️
Prayers for healing Jen. I literally tore multiple in my right ankle a few days after you. I feel you.
I had a snake slither across my foot the other day when I was watering the garden. Scared the crud out of me, and I screamed like a little girl. My 26 year old daughter was standing right there and thought that was hilarious! She’s never heard me scream like that before. 😂 it was just a garter snake, we don’t have any poisonous snakes here, but they still startle you!
i nearly wet myself laughing when you jumped seeing the snake i would have been miles away lol
😂😂
😂
100% agree on the win loss theory. Its easier to learn emotional strength, management and maturity while young than what we're seeing in society today from the "everybody wins era".
🥰
Loving the Kentucky homestead. Keep it up guys. Kentucky Strong!!!
Glad Jenn found out what's going on with her foot. Enjoy yourself you both are good parents and your videos are so educational. Thank you for sharing.
I just love y'alls smiles😊.
They are always in good spirits
That dress better have pockets! It's too cute to not have pockets 🤣🤣 y'all are so cute!
Your wife's smile goes for miles.. Such a dynamic relationship you have! I'm almost jealous..... Dude.. your so Lucky!
You guys are so happy at the new house! I love Jenn's dress!😄
Continental USA only has four types of venomous snakes. Rattlers, coral, moccasins, and copperheads.
I hate them all.
That dress IS very pretty. Jen is always smiling and pretty (you are too, Zach) but the dress adds extra sparkle.
Your daughter is adorable and your son is so cute love your new place
One of the things I love about your channel is you don’t flood RUclips with worthless videos! I look forward to seeing them!
I love working outside and gardening in dresses. It’s a lot cooler and you feel ... pretty, no matter how dirty you get.
I had the same injury to my ankle almost ten years ago. After ten years that ankle still pops much easier than the other.
Jenn, Take care of yourself. I have severe spinal issues and I can't walk on uneven ground. I consider myself blessed to be able to walk at all. Of course, I am so much older than you are, almost 76. If it weren't for the pain, I wouldn't complain or do anything about it, but the pain is severe. I am so glad that you are not, as you said, in pain, unless your ankle pops. Has the podiatrist suggested surgery? Torn tendons can sometimes be repaired, but that's your doctor's recommendation.
I love seeing Jenn in a dress & shorts & sleeveless tops. Wearing dresses for me is soooo freeing.
Noticed how you deadheaded the rose, and then talked about the medicinal benefits of the honeysuckle. Loosing any chance of rosehips which are medicinal as well. 🍀
You guys are doing good with the kids and the farm animals and all the planting. Like seeing you guys playing and loving on each other. Enjoy you guys!
I feel you on the snakes. I’ve always hated them. My husband has spent the better part of 10 years in the wildlife removal industry and handles snakes like nothing. I’m glad he’s around when I see one. He won’t kill them but he will at least remove them from my sight if needed.
I love the turkeys running up for food, “oh, it’s more grass.” The snake would be great around your garden. Oh, you should fish emulsion the rose bush, it will love it.
You go girl, Ray Ray❣️
Last snake I encountered I screamed, jumped and peed my britches. I don't like snakes either.
We get around 4 to 6 copperheads a day here in Kentucky. 😬
I want to move to Kentucky but not looking forward to copperheads.
Here in Michigan we have a rattlesnake, a watermoccasin, but usually they go the other way when they hear you coming so you rarely see them. The other one will try to swallow your fish if you are bank fishing for bluegills/sunfish and have them on a stringer.
Thank goodness you let your kids experience loss. Much more prepared for real like.
I don’t mind snakes but my husband hates them. He takes care of the spiders for me. Team work.
Oh my goodness, I love you guys way too much! The wine slushes, YES! The snakes and yes, we ALL have our things! Love the dress, I NEED one, looks comfy and cool! Also agree 100% with the win and loss, you can't all win always. ❤️
I had one on my front porch (I didn’t know it) and the UPS guy dropped my package on the step rather than on the porch table, As he usually does! I guess he doesn’t like snakes either!
Y’all are too cute!! We should all lol MORE!!! Everyday!!! Yes Garden on!!
SHARED
Prayers for continued healing. Way to go Wyatt and Raylynn!! Keep up the great work.
Man what a tease! That meals good looking and got my gut yelling for me to start cooking! Highest blessing for Rae Rae to get a cheering position! Praying for a complete and total healing for Jenn! And Zach I'm right there with you as far as the snakes, although I doubt it would have been as lucky if I was in the same place as you. Just being honest. 😇❤
Jenn that is a lovely dress, my favorite colors. Love y'all and God bless.
We 100% practice win/loss in our household as well! Love y'all! Blessings from your friend in Oregon Trina
I'm down here on the southern end of the Cumberland Plateau and I've not seen rain in 3 weeks. My entire water source is rain, thank God I had the foresight to get 600 gal additional storage last year(already used half) but we're supposed to get rain today...Yay! I will probably add more capacity to my water storage this year so I don't stress so much.
Thanks for sharing a day in the life. Your smiles are contagious! I was smiling the whole time. Ty.
'Check out that hottie in that dress', Zach I love the way you talk about Jenn. And Jenn, he's right, you do look beautiful in that dress. Love watching you two.
Jenn..”Just let me drink my wine in peace “💚🤣💚🌱💚
Hi guys my 2nd year container gardening at 74 and handicapped just rocking it in my backyard just harvested onions and potatoes pickling peppers now and stalking my tomatoes looking for ripe tomatoes. Always have something to eat. Love yall
Jen I’m so sorry about your ankle. I pray it heals fast. Love your dress. So pretty on you. Rae Rae is so adorable! Both of your sweet kids are adorable. Beautiful family. God bless you all.
My mother had the greenest thumb when it came to roses. We (her kids) bought her a dozen long stemmed roses when we were young and when the petals fell she topped them cut the stems in half and stuck them in the ground. Those stems grew! The roses were beautiful. She loved roses, we had a rose bush like yours in front of my bedroom window. Thank you for these nice memories. I love your channel, if you have need for a crone on your petting farm, let me know. I figured a tiny house and sell your surplus produce, remedies and canned goods, I had an idea. I don't like snakes either. You're young but there was a hit song called I Don't Like Spiders and Snakes, I found it funny. Jen, my daughter Oli has ankle issues as well, she will need surgery to repair the damage, she constantly rolls her ankles. I'll be praying for everyone with an extra one for you and Oli. Mad love for everyone, be safe and until next time.
You look so pretty in the dress Jenn! I wear dresses similar to that one most days even in the garden!
That's so funny! Hidin' the wine behind the envelope ✉️! Cute!
You guys are the best the way you laugh, love and teach. We are in indiana and would love to come visit/ give some gifts if your up for it
Nice to see another homesteader that drinks sometimes!
I love the useful tips you get on this channel. Today I learnt -Apples don’t bite you! I’ll have to remember that one ! 😂
😂😂 just out here spreading the knowledge
One of the benefits of knockout roses is that you don't have to deadhead them. Sometimes in the past when I was pruning other things I have pruned them, but it isn't really necessary. It is a beautiful rose though.
If no one has mentioned it, first cutting of hay, especially alfalfa, can cause bloat. My goats love it, so I leave a bucket of baking soda out and I mix the first few bales with the last few bales of the "winter" hay.
Jenn- I've got that too. Look into ankle support socks or tape. You can find it on amazon. Helps a ton when walking on uneven ground and with the evening swelling after a day on your feet!
Hi Jen and Zach,
May I make a few suggestions to make life a little easier?
- re: helping Rae Rae with reading: get a kindergarten writing tablet (wide-ruled with dotted line between). On every other line write a letter from the alphabet beginning with "A", then, "a", etc. During lessons sit next to your daughter and using phonics, sound out each letter as you write it across the line, "long" and "short" sounds. Be sure to encourage her to sound it out herself to copy you, writing each letter on the line beneath yours.
Once she knows how each letter looks and sounds write simple words out on the pages for her to practice 'sounding out'. Resist sounding them out for her if she struggles a bit, helping her out only if you see she really needs it. Once she feels confident in sounding out the letters, reading becomes more refined. I did this with both my sons and they basically taught themselves how to read by 3 yrs. of age. The key is to be aware if she has dyslexia (which there are various types) or vision issues, as these can be learning challenges. Hope this helps. 😺
- re: stripping paint from the 'white house': Bob Villa (from original "This Old House" series) says, NEVER power wash exterior paint on a house, as it can seriously damage the paint__in THIS case, would most likely make your job a LOT easier! 😹
- re: your ankle, Jen: considering the lifestyle you have, it may be wise to rethink surgery to reattach torn tendon if it is significantly or completely detattched. The type of injury you have does not heal on it's own__a torn tendon cannot 'reattatch' itself. As a result, the leg muscle will eventually shorten and atrophy, too! If you opt out, you may end up developing a seriously chronic issue over time, possibly eventually unable to do the things you enjoy such as, hiking the trails in your neighborhood or even worse, walking around your property doing necessities on your homestead__as your ankle may become less stable over time. Sometimes a doctor may not encourage a surgery because of the type of insurance you may have. Getting a second opinion in this case may be a good idea.
I totally get your apprehension of surgery, however, considering how young you are, your lifestyle, and with this diagnosis "I" would do it!
Thanks for sharing your beatiful family with us.
Love, Light, and Blessings.
🙏😇✨💫🌱🌿🌻🐝🌳🌎💖🙌🙌🙌😺
They'll keep the Rodnets down and protect your garden safe ❤🎉😂
I (Cyndi) severed my left one when I was 4. I had an accident as a child. I kicked out a window. Ligament was severed. Way back in the late 70's they didn't repair ligaments as often as they do now.
Since I was so young, my muscles and other ligaments have gotten stronger. But I fall easily on uneven ground, no running, and have a neoprene sock I wear when hiking and be very careful on stairs.
Oh my goodness, Yawls daughter is just so precious. She and Jenn have the same wonderful smile. Your son always has that same smile also. Oh my goodness, Have you tried the cauliflower for a pizza crust. It is so good and it is much better for Me as my wife says to me. Blessing to you all.
Just a FYI that honeysuckle is the invasive Asian bush honeysuckle. We have been trying to clear it on our 20 acres for 5 years now.
Love the color of the dress. Looks good on you. My daughter home schools. My boys do great. (Two grandsons) They homeschool through Crossroads Christian. One grandson loves history etc. can’t learn about that in regular school anymore. Love your place. So peaceful.
Oh my lanta! Snake! That made me smile big watching you jump. Hahaha. Snakes and bats are the two things that make me cringe.
Agree on the win and lose, teaches character
We loved the kindergarten curriculum from Timberdoodle. It was a lot of fun . We bought the Elite kit. A lot of play hands on learning for the kids.
Dinner looks yummy . Love that dress. Looks cool, perfect for this hot weather coming up.
My hubby is petrified of snakes..we found a rat snake in our camp we planned to retire too. Nope...now it'll be for sale..he hates to even go there to mow lawn!!! So I get it ! Love Jenna dress! Good luck with that crazy ankle. Hugs
Snakes and spiders, oh my!! I'm with you Zach... Had a garter snake roll over my toes and it traumatized me big time!!
I’m not a home schooler but, since everything was remote this year I was able to help with my sons education. He is in first grade and only knew basics going into this year. He is reading at a third grade level now and something I think that really helped him besides his wonderful teacher was -lively letters! It really breaks down each letter and the sounds they make! You should look into it!
We had a black snake or rat snake in the barn for 8yrs we named him Blackie even the horses were not upset with him. You guys are so funny🤷♀️👍🤗💯🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for the suggestion the way to build a house. We will definitely keep that in mind.
The white house looks like it may have asbestos siding. You may not want to scrape it, but cover it with vinyl siding.
You all are adoreable...spider senses so funny....great video
OH MY GOSH I would have flung the camera and been back at the house before it hit the ground if that would have been me seeing that snake. Your brave, Zach getting us a close up. (Nightmare topic for sure now) LOL. Jen, your look great in your new clothes! They look so comfy.
WOW!!!!I LOVE HOW MUCH YOU LOVE YOUR WIFE!!!! It's not everyday that a man shows it like you do!!! And the dress is beautiful as much as she is!!!!
Jen you might want to look into PRP injections if your tendon doesn’t heal. It’s using your own platelets to heal yourself.
OMG!!! I LOVE those wine freezers! My parents make wine, so we are always making those bags!
I agree with you zac!! U don't do creepy crawlees either!! From Montgomery al
I do love your dress, Jen... Zach, I don't like spiders at all. I'd never give anyone a rough time about any phobias...lol.. The kids are doing great, it sounds. Best wishes to them both....
Hey beautiful people. You're right Zach, that's a beautiful woman in the gorgeous dress. Love the roses. It's mating season for the snakes, so you'll probably be seeing more of them. Most snakes are as afraid of you as you are of them. I have many black racers around the place where I live. They definitely give you a scare because of how fast they move. Thanks for the smiles. In my thoughts and prayers. God Bless y'all ✌❤😊
Jen tryin to get her day drink on .. But you wouldn't let her hide.. 😂😂😂😂
😂😂
I hate reptiles too. My Grandma taped the S encyclopedia, that’s how scared she was of them!,, Great video.
I don't like spider's and snakes !!
🎼 Jim Stafford
I really don't like spider's and snakes.
But I know the benefits of having the good ones around your property out way my fears.
Zach I'm so glad that you didn't kill the snake, you are so right. They are the helpful snakes to have on your property.
Thanks for sharing.
Stay happy, healthy, hydrated and safe.
May God continue to bless you and your family.
If you have a local library nearby, they might have a summer reading program which is a fun way to practice and motivate reading! Also, totally agree on the heights, spiders and snakes! 😳
Wrap your ankle with cabbage leaves and an Ace bandage for the swelling. Research cabbage leaves and swelling. It worked for my broken ankle. Amazing natural remedy
100% thing that’s helped me with my ankle is using a tens unit, it’s amazingly cheap and simple to use.
I really luv your dress Jenn. Green is my favorite color. Dinner looks yummy 😋
Hey Zach, I feel you with snakes, spiders and heights! I also have issues with tight, enclosed spaces.
Jenn your dress is so cute !!
Ya all are awesome, you made my morning happy 😊 one day I will have a farm. ❤️
I mean I saw this a week ago, but sometimes I watch things again and it can be different.
Jen I've got the same injury and Podiatrist said to get the ankle support you can get at sports stores it supports better. Also don't stand on it too much. Like you there's things to be done. Take it easy..
The knockout rose also comes in the double form. Also a prolific bloomer!
No judgement on the teaching kids to read. I've homeschooled 4 kids and my 3rd is struggling reading at 8 years old. He hates it and has just barely this year learned his letters and phonics. He couldn't remember them even a year ago. You just never know, every kid is different. Don't feel like you need to rush them. You have time. Just do 10-15 min a day of them reading plus a little more time where you are reading to them. But that's just my advice and opinion and I respect others who disagree! God bless!
Torn ligament ?
Try finding a subject that interests them. Even if its comic books. Anything they love they will really try harder to read about it. It worked for a couple of boys, one was one of my nephews.
One of the best things about homeschooling ..its not one size fits all..the kids can go at the thier own pace
I was never taught Phonics when I was growing up... I was taught to know words by sight, big mistake.. I was never taught how to read a ruler/ how to work fractions... & I'm dyslexic. What a combo... Praise GoD I'm over all that now, I'm 64 years Young & I can ask Google....LoL
I love how the two of you banter ❤️
Wine slushies on that porch at sunset....Heaven!
Absolutely love the music choice today!
My hubby is the same way with snakes. I am the snake wrangler in this home. I had a compost pile I had to take down and there were a few snakes I surprised. While I just used the hoe to nudge them on and talked calmly to them, he ran into the house and looked on the computer to see if they were lethal!! LOL!! Not venomous, not a lot of them here in MA. Some spiders startle me like that though! Fisher cats do scare me and we do have those!
