I’m up in Northeastern California. We lost a million acres and two towns last Summer. Two solid months of smoke. I had my car packed and ready to evacuate for three weeks. My house was yellow tagged (evacuation warning). I am praying for a light fire season here. I hope they get put out quickly there.
🙏🙏I'm praying for no fires this year too. In Oct 2020 when there were huge fires miles away there was a day where the sky was literally orange. It covered the sun so much that you couldn't tell where it was.
Audrey taking care of Great Grandma makes me teary eyed and my heart fill with so much emotion every time. You guys have raised a wonderful person. I am happy to be on the same earth as you all 💞
Chuck a kid video !!! So cute .I Love watching your family. when I'm sad I watch your videos and always brings a smile 😃 to my face. YOU make us the Happy people's! That's why I've been watching since 2015 and enjoy the reruns. 👍🌍
Fireweed is typically the first thing that grows back after a forest fire. Then come the alder trees and finally, years later, the evergreens come in. It looks like, because of the land clearing you did to build your house, the fireweed has come back like it would after a fire. I think Bert is taking us all on a fishing trip. The video with the kids was really cute and very funny. Loved it!!!💖👍
Bert...going fishing!!! Audrey is getting to be a great young lady. The time she spends with her great grandmother will hold a lot of memories for her. The workout with the kiddos when they were little was so cute. Garrett was so stinking cute at that age. Evelyn is so into getting exercising. Jessica...you're a great mommy and wife.
@@irenedavo3768 that’s always my concern as well with fully home schooled kids. Most don’t get the social skills they need to thrive when they leave that overprotective nest.
I just have to say Jess you look so different in this vlog, I think its definitely your beautiful hair but also you seem more relaxed and I hope that means things are going good for you and less stress. You have such a wonderful family, how proud you must be of Audrey taking such good care of great gma what beautiful memories she will have, super cute throw back vid of exercise workouts w kiddos ❤️ You are an Amazing family and I love watching you all.
Hi folks, I haven't been gardening for abt 6 years now , cause now I'm in apartment, but there wild berries in the back yard. Might be able to make syrup. BUT, I'VE NEVER SEEN RED cauliflower. That's new to me. Am hoping to move north and hopefully have something of gardening. Think the easiest is potatoes; maybe green beans. Really wish I could do gardening, but have sooo much to do already..
I loved the workout video. You are surrounded by fires and we are surrounded by tropical waves. Stay safe up there. So proud of Audrey for taking such wonderful care of her great grandma. Love to all.
I can see in your heart that all this craziness is getting to you. Just breath and I'm praying for you and your family that the light comes back into your world. Remember God wins.
Northern CA girl here and our states largest fire was last year with 463,000 acres burned. We have very dry conditions again this summer. Praying you all stay safe in your beautiful state🙏🏻
We are an hour north of San Francisco in Santa Rosa. We are already getting fires but thankfully they are getting them out quickly. Yesterdays was an 80 acre fire. No evacuations thank goodness. But we have an RV packed and ready to go ever since 4 years ago when we had the awful fire that crossed the highway and was devastating. Good luck to all of Alaska and especially Sommers in Alaska. We wear N95 masks in the smoke to save our lungs.
We deal with the smoke from the forest fires usually every summer here in Saskatchewan. Audrey helping to care for great grandma is sooo awesome! That is something I would have done at that age. Actually I helped care for my mom when I was her age before she died of cancer. The workout video was great and so sweet! ❤️
Happy Tuesday, SOMERS. I hope you’re having a good day and good summer. I can’t believe we are approaching to July and the second half of 2022. It’s crazy how time flies by fast. I’m glad you SOMERS are staying safe. I hope y’all have a good summer, SOMERS. Continue on your road on getting the giant gold play button
Great vlog as usual 👌. Jessica, I hope that your "second planting" of your lettuce will be successful 👍🏻. Bert, have a safe and fun time...on your fishing trip. 🏕🐟
we left northern California last year and just grabbed the last of the kids last week to escape California (near the current Rice fire). it is sooooo wonderful to no longer have to worry about constant fires....and power outages! Now when we hear planes, they are seaplanes!
Hi There Somers Family...So happy to see you Audrey. Love your garden. Jessica my dad always rotated the things he grew in the garden so he wasn't planting the same things in the same spot every year.Sorry to hear about the fires.Looks like you're going camping or on a fishing trip cause it looks like you bought waders. Can't wait to see where you're all going. God Bless All of You. LuvYa! Bye from Ohio Safe Travels No Matter Where You're Going 🏕🎣🚐
To keep the cauliflower white gather up the leaves and secure with a rubber band. I grew up on what's called a truck farm. It's mainly fruit and veggies. We grew acres of cauliflower and had to rubber band them to keep them white.
Oh my word I was dying watching the portion of the Chuck a kid workouts. It was so cute, your kids were so tiny and adorable. As far as the forest fires. I will keep you and all of Alaska in my prayers. I live in Northern Utah and we are surrounded by huge beautiful mountains and fire season has already started. Actually two years ago today I was nearly evacuated because I live on the side of a smaller mountain and it caught fire due to fireworks. I lost power because of how close it was and had a go bag ready so I could evacuate. It was scary. Stay safe!
I spend my summers in Cape May NJ. South Jersey has wonderful summers. Our springs aren’t always great . Once the spring rain stops the sky opens to a wonderful summer. If it can only be summer all year in Cape May NJ.
I live in Colorado and there are fires here and in New Mexico and Arizona. So we get the smoke quite a bit too. Stay alert and safe. Plan for emergency evacuation and have items ready to go.
I live in Northern California, unfortunately every summer we deal with fires. Except it came early this year. Our firemen are awesome. I am sending prayers to the fire fighters fighting the different fires here in California to come home safely. Hi to the whole family ❤️
In North Carolina, it's not hurricane season yet, but we had severe storms that caused power outages last week. We also have minor earthquakes. Most of our problems happen in winter. Ice storms often get us.
I live in Shelton, CT. Don't expect that you have EVER heard of it. The east coast has had a lot of rain in the last few years. Prior to that there were some times of drought and, to be honest, the summers are SUPPOSED to be dry-ish in this region. But, not lately. Personally I LOVE rain! Couldn't really abide by living in a drought prone section of the country. I am really happy with the weather in the northeast presently.
our church community each grew different kinds of lettuce in our own yard and it did not come up I tried 3 times, spinach either. Wow I love your hair down
Wow....I can’t imagine it would become winter so fast, especially since it just turned into summer! Castner is so Adorable riding in the car and the wind blowing through his fur!😂🤣! That video of y’all exercising is the 🙌🏼funniest!😂! Don’t worry Jessica, I know that you’ll figure it out about the garden!🥰. Bert, have a Wonderful😁time going fishing!🚣🏻♂️🎣! I will pray🙏🏼that Alaska gets the rain that y’all need! May The Good LORD continue to Bless you all!💖
I live in Washington state so yes… we deal with wildfires. We shut all the windows and doors and strap a filter to a box fan to filter the air inside our home!
In Australia forest fires in summer are a constant concern and yes often started from lightning, but sadly we also get some that people start, so while we are in winter currently our fire season tends to really kick in December onwards,
Sorry for your smoke. Every summer in Southern Oregon we've had horrible fires and smoke. Along with our own area smoke, we get smoke from California too. Prayers for no major fires this year. We had some wonderful rains through May and June. Be safe!
We get fires every summer. We had one about a .5 miles from the house to start the fire season off. It's always a little stressful wondering if this is going to be the year your house burns down...especially when your home insurance drops you at the beginning of fire season like this year. Thankfully, our firefighters do a fantastic job, and despite all the fires, big and small, that we have, it's extremely rare for our area to lose a structure.
We deal with forest fires in Idaho. Not bad so far this year, but it's been really dry lately. We had a lot of rain in May. What that usually means is that we will have a later fire season. All the rain in May made everything including the weeds grow like crazy. It usually takes 2 or 3 months to dry out and then it just takes one lighting strike.
Hello Somers family. late a little. defrosting my big freezer which I don't like the freezer never did. but my husband bought it. I wanted a frost free. it's probably 20 years old now.but good to see you all.
Keep Safe! We do have to deal with forest fires every summer. We live in Show Low , AZ, about 3 hours northeast of Phoenix, we are in heavy pines. So far we have had a lot of rain this year with the monsoons coming early and we sure grateful for that.
My brother has a big fire near him, they got a break this morning and got some rain. Not a lot, but it's helping the fire fighters. It's in an area that they can't get equipment close enough so having to fight the hard way. The kids work out was cute. Did things like that with mine.
That's part of gardening. I had no carrots, onions or radishes that came up this year. I think the seeds were bad. Love watching the kiddos come into their own. Great job mom and dad.
We have replanted numerous times. Even put stuff in raised bed green houses but rabbits, chipmunks, squirrels, moles,voles and groundhogs have gone nuts this year and that doesn't even bring into account deer etc.. we did have some luck with the solar pest control stakes.
Yes, the fires get bad in Arizona in the north part of the state. Where we have our forest land. And a lot of them are caused by lightning or people from out of state that don’t know how dry of a state we are. Love watching your family!
@16:37: Your cam does show the severity of the smoke, for those who have experienced it. Back 15 yrs ago, wildfire smoke from Canada drifted into Maine. Great sunsets, but Woodsmoke fumes in the daytime everywhere.
Salmon fishing 🎣 😋 O.M Gosh... I was seriously BELLY LAUGHING Jessica with the video... Absolutely hilarious... Thank you for sharing... You all always have an up beat vlog no matters what all of our worries... THANK YOU ❤️🤗 GBY & Your Beautiful Family Always 🙏❤️💙💖💖💙🐕🤗✝️
Awe it was so cool seeing the kiddos small! Brought back memories of my dad doing push ups with me and my three siblings on his back! Prayers for your family’s safety during all the fires
I’m so excited to share your videos with my son from Texas and drove all the way from Texas to Alaska and arrived in North Pole today I sent him several videos of yours he’s in the army and he’ll be stationed in or near north pole possibly for the next two years thank you so much for your videos
Actually, in many cases in the past, here in the southern Central Valley of California, we have had problems with smoke from fires that were 70-100 miles away. All depends on how the wind is moving. Studies in the past have authenticated smoke/smog moving south, through the Valley from the San Francisco Bay area into the Southern portion of the Central Valley..... a distance of some 200+ miles..
I'm from Atascadero California. Raised on a ranch my grandfather built. Still all there. My family an ranch. I moved to Alaska when I was 17 still here at 37. True facts about the fires in California. I remeber many times watering the house and moving the animals in case thw wind changed. Sending hellos from Wasilla Alaska, Tschandra
Hi, Thank you for your videos, We add sheep manure or compost to the soil in the spring before planting the seeds or in the fall when the garden is finished. Just till it in. Hope that helps. Linda Warnke
I have a Fitbit but I don’t use it anymore ever since I found out that you can sit still, only bending your elbow eating and put steps on mine. So technically it doesn’t really record the steps you make it records every move of your arm. I even contacted Fitbit about that hopefully they’ve changed it by now, that was back in 2016.
I loved the Throwback video of the "Workout Sessions"! I definitely had a good chuckle with how little the kids were and you used them as "weights". I hope your air quality clears up soon. 👍🙏🏻
The workout video ,so funny, the kids were so adorable. So bad about all the fires, hopefully you'll get rain soon. Is Bert going on a fishing trip? I hope y'all have a wonderful day. 😊❤
I'm in Central BC CND, last summer we had no rain and 7-8wks straight over 25C with 6 of that over 35C temps. Our fire season was extended and incredibly nerve racking. Had our emerg packed for 5 months. It was crazy. This year it feels like we've had 2 days of sunshine the rest has been rain or crazy storms.
Hello Somers in Alaska, I know what you're going through since I live in Northern California and last year we had many large forest fires going on for months. It does effect the air quality and growing vegetation especially wine grapes and other large scale agricultural crops which suffered greatly. I work at a daycare and many days the air quality was so bad we couldn't take children outside to play. Luckily we have large air purifiers in each room to filter out the smoke. Several times a day we were checking air quality on our cell phone apps. The news advised us to wear face masks for greater protection. On days I didn't work and stayed at home I used a large 3M 20x20 air filter on a box fan to draw out in room smoke. Believe me it worked as I could see dark residue on the filter. It's good to stock up on these because they can sell out quickly. Hope your air clears up soon for you. Take care and stay safe.
Yes, Northern California has had huge wildfires in the last few years. Mendocino National Forest is vast and surrounding counties, and a lot has burned. The hot weather is really kicking off now (100’s daily where I’m at). We sometimes get that lightning as well. For a while there almost every county around me had some sort of evacuation no less than twice per year. It’s not fun. I recognize that hazy orange sun. I hope you get rain!
I live in Eastern Washington State and every year the smoke gets worse. I'm hoping since we had lots of rain this spring it won't be too bad, but time will tell.
I love your videos. I was on an Alaskan cruise last month. When we stopped in Skagway, we saw Fireweed jelly. I knew exactly what it was since you had talked about it last year. I told everyone that was with me, what fireweed was. I love all the things you show and tell us about Alaska. I definitely want to do a land tour soon. From Summers in NC to Somers in Alaska.
I remember the Chena Hot springs Rd fire and the fire over by Brock road area. Those were right in your neck of the woods, North Pole. There was so much smoke the sun looked red. Stay safe and good luck fishing Bert!
It has been very dry here in New Jersey. I live in south Jersey , the pine barrens and we have had major forest fires here. Thank God we haven’t had any evacuations, very scary.💕
We live in Central Arizona and were in a SET for over 3 weeks because of the Crooks Fire. It was really tense but part of living in the Arizona forest .
In the late 60”s my husband and I were living in Anchorage, he was in the Army stationed at Ft. Richardson, and he had to go somewhere up north to fight forest fires for several weeks.
Prayers that your family & everyone in Alaska stays safe during these many fires.🙏 Your "chuck-a-kid" workout was hilarious! 😁 Gee, I was a preschool teacher for many years...wonder what parents might have thought if they'd found us doing some of these routines...lol. 🏃♀️🤸♂️💪
compost ( no dig method) then mulch, for your lettuce, or plant them as starts n mulch , great video, loved the work outs, and hope Bert enjoys his fishing,
Thanks for sharing, your videos are always nice to watch. LOL the video of the workout from the past is funny. But glad you all managed to get through it. We here in Northeast Philadelphia Pa area, the weather is always changable. We do get some nasty thunderstorms that dump a lot of rain at times that leads to flash flooding in ponds, creeks and roads. We also usually get the tail end of hurricanes that ride up the coast and dump a lot of rain too at times. Wind always plays a big factor in the storms. But hope the fires die down up there in Alaska and the smoke clears out fot you. Keep up the good work. God Bless.
I’m up in Northeastern California. We lost a million acres and two towns last Summer. Two solid months of smoke. I had my car packed and ready to evacuate for three weeks. My house was yellow tagged (evacuation warning). I am praying for a light fire season here. I hope they get put out quickly there.
🙏🙏I'm praying for no fires this year too. In Oct 2020 when there were huge fires miles away there was a day where the sky was literally orange. It covered the sun so much that you couldn't tell where it was.
As a paradise survivor I don't fires either
Never knew about this. Irene from Liverpool in England 🇬🇧
@@Jen.E never heard about this
Praying for you Charlotte for a light fire season. 🙏 I can't imagine having two months of smoke and my car packed incase you have to leave quickly.
That chuck a kid workout was adorable! Crazy how time flies!
You guys always bring such uplifting material! It is such a blessing!
Audrey taking care of Great Grandma makes me teary eyed and my heart fill with so much emotion every time. You guys have raised a wonderful person. I am happy to be on the same earth as you all 💞
HOW WONDERFUL WHAT YOU SAID I AM JUST A HAPPY PEOPLES HOW NICE GOD BLESS YOU ALL WE ARE ALL GOD'S PEOPLE
Hi 👋
Chuck a kid video !!! So cute .I Love watching your family. when I'm sad I watch your videos and always brings a smile 😃 to my face. YOU make us the Happy people's! That's why I've been watching since 2015
and enjoy the reruns. 👍🌍
Hysterically funny… the workout flashback. You all are fabulous sweethearts. Love watching your videos.
Fireweed is typically the first thing that grows back after a forest fire. Then come the alder trees and finally, years later, the evergreens come in. It looks like, because of the land clearing you did to build your house, the fireweed has come back like it would after a fire. I think Bert is taking us all on a fishing trip. The video with the kids was really cute and very funny. Loved it!!!💖👍
Prayersfor for everyone during wildfire season!!
Bert is going fly fishing...you all brighten up my day. When I'm feeling out-there you guys are. Making me a Happy peoples. God bless you guys
Northeast Ohio gets severe thunderstorms in the summer, the occasional small tornado, and the fringes of hurricanes, but no fires.
Prayers from Colorado, here we have fire season. Prayers
I always love the choice of music you play, very positive and calming.
Bert...going fishing!!! Audrey is getting to be a great young lady. The time she spends with her great grandmother will hold a lot of memories for her. The workout with the kiddos when they were little was so cute. Garrett was so stinking cute at that age. Evelyn is so into getting exercising. Jessica...you're a great mommy and wife.
Does Audrey has School friends
@@irenedavo3768 that’s always my concern as well with fully home schooled kids. Most don’t get the social skills they need to thrive when they leave that overprotective nest.
Hello 👋

Cover the leaves and keep the cauliflower cover until harvest!
so sorry you lost your mom so young. God bless.

I spend my summers in Cape May NJ. South Jersey has wonderful summers. Our springs aren’t always great . Once the spring rain stops the sky opens to a wonderful summer. If it can only be summer all year in Cape May NJ.
We left Texas today for Alaska...permanently! We are in Roswell, NM. tonight. You inspired us! Blessings. ❤️
I live in Colorado and there are fires here and in New Mexico and Arizona. So we get the smoke quite a bit too. Stay alert and safe. Plan for emergency evacuation and have items ready to go.

love the work out with kids video! SOOOO funny! Needed a laugh. Praying for your smoke situation...
I live in Washington state so yes… we deal with wildfires. We shut all the windows and doors and strap a filter to a box fan to filter the air inside our home!
Yes. Wild fires here in northern Idaho. Last year was more dry and had one within 3 miles from our house. It's scary.
In Australia forest fires in summer are a constant concern and yes often started from lightning, but sadly we also get some that people start, so while we are in winter currently our fire season tends to really kick in December onwards,

Prayers for your family’s safety during all the fires
Oh my goodness! The cringy "chuck the kid" video was a classic. Loved it. Hope your family stays safe with the fires surrounding the area. ❤️❤️
Hello Debbie how are you doing
Such a great video. Love the Somers.

Hi, Thank you for your videos, We add sheep manure or compost to the soil in the spring before planting the seeds or in the fall when the garden is finished. Just till it in. Hope that helps. Linda Warnke
Jessica your hair is so beautiful!
In California we have lots of fires! The last few years have been pretty dry, we could definitely use more rain!
Hello Barbara how are you doing?
That's how we were here in WA. last summer. Fires all around us. Stay safe guys.
I have a Fitbit but I don’t use it anymore ever since I found out that you can sit still, only bending your elbow eating and put steps on mine. So technically it doesn’t really record the steps you make it records every move of your arm. I even contacted Fitbit about that hopefully they’ve changed it by now, that was back in 2016.
The bicep curls and tricep extensions were awe-inspiring.
🤣😂😅🤣😂😅 Kid workout was hilarious!! I like it! Sorry to hear about the fires going on. I pray the Lord will protect you all 💖
I loved the Throwback video of the "Workout Sessions"! I definitely had a good chuckle with how little the kids were and you used them as "weights". I hope your air quality clears up soon. 👍🙏🏻
Your so beautiful and your hair is also beautiful!! I just love love you and your family!! Yall help me feel better about myself!!
The workout video ,so funny, the kids were so adorable. So bad about all the fires, hopefully you'll get rain soon. Is Bert going on a fishing trip?
I hope y'all have a wonderful day. 😊❤
I'm in Central BC CND, last summer we had no rain and 7-8wks straight over 25C with 6 of that over 35C temps. Our fire season was extended and incredibly nerve racking. Had our emerg packed for 5 months. It was crazy.
This year it feels like we've had 2 days of sunshine the rest has been rain or crazy storms.
That workout video was so cute!! I hope you all stay safe with all the fires around you! Hopefully they don't get too close to your home!
I enjoy watching your videos with Audrey taking care of her great grandmother God bless her and her family Bert Jessica Garrett and Evelyn and the dog
Loved the work out video it's so funny. The kids were so cute. Still are. You guys are great. ❤️🌹❤️
Hello Somers in Alaska, I know what you're going through since I live in Northern California and last year we had many large forest fires going on for months. It does effect the air quality and growing vegetation especially wine grapes and other large scale agricultural crops which suffered greatly. I work at a daycare and many days the air quality was so bad we couldn't take children outside to play. Luckily we have large air purifiers in each room to filter out the smoke. Several times a day we were checking air quality on our cell phone apps. The news advised us to wear face masks for greater protection. On days I didn't work and stayed at home I used a large 3M 20x20 air filter on a box fan to draw out in room smoke. Believe me it worked as I could see dark residue on the filter. It's good to stock up on these because they can sell out quickly. Hope your air clears up soon for you. Take care and stay safe.
Hello 👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going over there 👉 I hope your day went well and hope it was a blessed day for you?
Yes, Northern California has had huge wildfires in the last few years. Mendocino National Forest is vast and surrounding counties, and a lot has burned. The hot weather is really kicking off now (100’s daily where I’m at). We sometimes get that lightning as well. For a while there almost every county around me had some sort of evacuation no less than twice per year. It’s not fun. I recognize that hazy orange sun. I hope you get rain!
I live in Eastern Washington State and every year the smoke gets worse. I'm hoping since we had lots of rain this spring it won't be too bad, but time will tell.
The workout video was hilarious 😂. Oh my word the kids were so tiny!Have fun fishing Bert! Hugs from Missouri 🤗 ❤️
Hello Candi how are you doing today
I love your videos. I was on an Alaskan cruise last month. When we stopped in Skagway, we saw Fireweed jelly. I knew exactly what it was since you had talked about it last year. I told everyone that was with me, what fireweed was. I love all the things you show and tell us about Alaska. I definitely want to do a land tour soon. From Summers in NC to Somers in Alaska.
I remember the Chena Hot springs Rd fire and the fire over by Brock road area. Those were right in your neck of the woods, North Pole. There was so much smoke the sun looked red. Stay safe and good luck fishing Bert!
It has been very dry here in New Jersey. I live in south Jersey , the pine barrens and we have had major forest fires here. Thank God we haven’t had any evacuations, very scary.💕
We live in Central Arizona and were in a SET for over 3 weeks because of the Crooks Fire. It was really tense but part of living in the Arizona forest .
When bert showed the chilly bin, I was like he going fishing.
The exercise routines were hilarious! Kids are adorable!!
In the late 60”s my husband and I were living in Anchorage, he was in the Army stationed at Ft. Richardson, and he had to go somewhere up north to fight forest fires for several weeks.
Prayers that your family & everyone in Alaska stays safe during these many fires.🙏 Your "chuck-a-kid" workout was hilarious! 😁 Gee, I was a preschool teacher for many years...wonder what parents might have thought if they'd found us doing some of these routines...lol. 🏃♀️🤸♂️💪
compost ( no dig method) then mulch, for your lettuce, or plant them as starts n mulch , great video, loved the work outs, and hope Bert enjoys his fishing,
Love the flashback video! The kids were so little.
Thanks for sharing, your videos are always nice to watch. LOL the video of the workout from the past is funny. But glad you all managed to get through it. We here in Northeast Philadelphia Pa area, the weather is always changable. We do get some nasty thunderstorms that dump a lot of rain at times that leads to flash flooding in ponds, creeks and roads. We also usually get the tail end of hurricanes that ride up the coast and dump a lot of rain too at times. Wind always plays a big factor in the storms. But hope the fires die down up there in Alaska and the smoke clears out fot you. Keep up the good work. God Bless.
with the cauliflower used a thick rubber band so it will not get sunburn..
also you can do that with the cabbage to
When I was your age I felt the same about fireweed but after 45 years in Alaska I have learned to just embrace the changes and not sweat it anymore...
The kids work out video was the cutest 😃
