    Tova, You are absolutely beautiful with your short hair! (as much as with your longer hair). I admire your determination and hard work, you both do more in a week than most people in a lifetime, your son will be very proud of what you had conquered. Your simple life is an inspiration and your videos have natural beauty and mix art with life... Thank you for sharing parcels of your life with us.

    Giving your hair and scalp a fresh start is healthy. In a month, you'll have a short, soft curl look. Hair thinning, lack of lustre, flat can come from many things. Age, childbirth, always wearing a hat or head covering, nutrition, etc. You're young. You're healthy. Your body goes through cycles, naturally. You're naturally beautiful so you can totally pull off the shaved head. :)

    Dear Tova, losing hair for a woman is a deep inner loss. Hair is a symbol of so much of our feminine. I lost it twice, each time after my two daughters were born, each time the second year. It was impossibly hard for me. And I cried , I felt naked and weak. And so many other things. And then slowly, with the days ahead, i found my new strength and keep walking on proudly! Thank you for sharing the beauty of vulnerability and the greatness of woman spirit. Sisterhood is all around, motherhood is everywhere and this Planet is our greatest source of nourishing, not only our bodies but also our souls. You, my dear, you are such a Forest Goddess!!!

    You are stunningly beautiful and wear the "buzz cut" well! Your garden looks fabulous, too... very inviting. Gardening can bring so much joy and it's very "grounding". Your son will grow up loving to garden, too!
    I have a short growing season, as well. This year I planted mostly San Marzano paste tomatoes, but they are taking forever to ripen. If the green tomatoes have any blush color to them, they will ripen on the counter. If not, there are multiple recipes for green tomatoes, too. My favorite is green tomatoes fried in a little bacon fat, no breading. Many people deep fry them with breading, but this is how my dad made them... delicious 😋.
    In the meantime, I get the tomatoes to ripen sooner by topping my plants, removing blossoms and all new growth, especially suckers (new growth between branches). I remove all branches below ripening fruit. This signals to the plant to hurry up and ripen so it can go to seed. It works! In addition, now that the nights are colder, I wrap my plants with 1.5oz/Sq ft "row cover" material. I have a hoop covered with this material blocking out cold wind, but inside I have wrapped my tomato plants for extra protection at night. If they don't fully ripen before my planned road trip in 2 weeks, I can cut them at the base, cut off excess foliage, and hang them upside down in my basemen to ripen... or stick the branch in water. These are tips I've learned from master gardeners. My first year growing I didn't know, and lost a lot of green tomatoes to a sudden cold snap with harsh freezing wind. Good luck with your tomatoes!

    Tova you will always be beautiful. ❤️. A young woman I know had dreadlocks and they were hard to keep clean. While people said she could use detangler to unwind the hair it was suggested she buzz cut like you did. She too looked lovely and modeled lots of earrings and hats made by home businesses. Now her hair is now light colored and curly. The root cellar is wonderful.

    Tova, you look great ❣️ you really took a plunge, and it "pays-of". With such a good-formed head, it looks fantastic.
    thank you guys for another beautiful video. So lovely, Ivar helping ( and letting !) everywhere at just at and in the right action ... The cellar is a solid good piece of work, it will be nice and rewarding if you can put it " to work". thanks again, love

    I can’t wait to see the concrete roof on the cellar. Those wood roof slats look really nice. Your property is coming along nicely this year. You both must must be so proud. Ivar is really growing and it’s so fun watching him exploring and trying things out for himself.
    Thanks for the video. Take care.

Ivar is fun to watch as he follows you and wants to touch and help., not always at the right time as you two work so hard. Your homestead is sooo beautiful. Your husband is doing a great job on the cellar. Your meal looked very good...yummy. Your family is lovely giving all the help. My husband who is a handyman/ carpenter gets great pleasure watching your husband work. The music accompagning your videos is just beautiful. Due to Covid we cannot see our great grandchildren so we get much pleasure watching Ivar. Thank you for your videos. We always make sure to do a thumbs up. Keep up the great work and your beautiful lifestyle. Take care.

    You have the perfect bone structure to wear your hair that short---it becomes you in a most positive way. Compared to me you are a 'mere kid' and that hair (less??) style makes you even younger. The 'shelter' is coming along nicely and I admire the building technique of Ivar when he leaves stone designs on the support beam foundations. That is one curious young man---and quite industrious and innovative when helping mom and dad.

He is very adorable. The cellar project is coming along great. I love your outdoor kitchen. I never thought about a hot stove fire inside in the middle of summer. Tova when you removed your braid I gasped out loud. A cinimatic moment! You are very brave, but you truly look beautiful. I will love seeing how it will grow out. Who knows you might always want it to be short.

You could pull any hair cut off Mama. You’re gorgeous! Good job on getting the roof done Dad! Take that to the people who referred to you as the family that never completed any projects!! 😝Your little family stays busy and some people underestimate the hard work around the clock that goes into living the lifestyle you do. Thank you as always for sharing your precious moments with all of us. I truly look forward to watching every single one of your videos.

    My daughter used to have extremely thick hair before her pregnancy. It has never fully recovered its thickness but the curls have returned. Your hair looked so much thicker after the chopping off of your plait but the new style is fine as you have a lovely shaped face with high cheek bones but with your bleak winters you’re going to need some woollen hats at the ready. I’m sure it’s not the off grid life as you eat and live a healthy life. It’s great that your underground food store is near completion. XAngela

    Wonderful video as always!!
    it’s amazing how pregnancy can cause changes to a woman’s body/hormones etc and it can take a while ( for me a few years) to settle down to your new normal, but I love how you are handling it. You are one of the lucky ones who look great with a buzz cut. I really liked how your hair looked too just after your plait was cut off - jaw length really suits you. You looked like a model with those cheekbones of yours and short hair swinging about. :)
    Really love the new roof on the root/cheese cellar too. A true work of art.
    Btw - I live in a very warm climate and have no problems with growing seasons…but I do have with birds. So now I pick my tomatoes green and sit them on a sunny window sill and let them ripen inside. They still sweeten up and taste delicious and the birds don’t ruin them. :)

I was thinking of doing the same because I have ruined my hair ( the ends especially) with coloring and now I’m going grey. Perhaps I should just shave it all off and start again? You’ve inspired me! Congratulations on getting your cheese cellar so far and thank you for another wonderful glimpse into your lives. I love hearing Ivar talking away as you work ( brum brum brummm!) so adorable! 😘❤️

    Love your garden. We have a short growing season here in the Upper Peninsula Michigan too. One year I grew tons of tomatoes that were all still green by now. I dipped them in water with a splash of Clorox in it, I let them dry completely. Then I wrapped them individually in newspaper and put them in a box. I checked them weekly. I canned tomatoes till Christmas.
    I hope your hair “reset” works for you, I cried for you when Mathias cut it.

    I dyed my hair auburn red for over 30 years. Then on my 70th birthday I decided to let it grow out and live with my natural grey and white hair. I was VERY tempted to shave it off as you did. A lot of women who prefer to grow in their natural hair color decided to get it over with and just shave it all off. The result, I was told, is that their hair grew in healthier and fuller. I am 73 now and finally all my hair is its natural color and I can wear it in a ponytail or scroll it up in the back held by a clip. Eventually I want to grow a long braid. The 3 years of growing out my dyed hair was a long journey and no fun at all. I am proud of you that you shaved it off. I am confident your new hair will be beautiful and healthy. Also, I might add, I take collagen powder every day mixed in a warm drink and that has made my hair healthier as well. You can buy collagen powder online. It is tasteless powder and easy to drink when mixed in something warm. Same benefits as bovine broth but better.

      Eric and Arielle are the Simple Living Alaska channel that I follow on YT. They have huge gardens but like you, only for a short time. She was just saying that even though she plants tomatoes in the hoop green house ,she still can't get tomatoes to ripen there. The summer is too short , so they pick them green and ripen what they want ripe, indoors; & the rest they can in various recipes!!!! Well worth following them if you have time Tova as their weather/ temperature / seasons are very similar to yours. They don't have a toddler tho, so they can get a lot more done without the added distraction and attention having and raising a baby entails.
      Note here: you sure surprised me with your plaited ponytail LOL love your humour ...and the shave was brave and also probably a really wise decision. It suits you and def highlights how your whole face lights up when you laugh or smile. I hope it solves the problem for you. The whole video was very high energy and it's great to see the cold storage coming on so well now. Mathais reminds me strongly of the grson I've just finished raising to an adult.... they are alike in the area that they work at their best with company !!! You encouraged me as Mathais is the only other adult male I've seen with same work need. Interesting , that's for sure.
      Was wondering what material he'd be using for roofing the cold storage /cheese making house?? I apologise but the actual name for the building won't come to mind at the moment ...that's part of my old age burden unfortunately. I find it incredibly frustrating tho as I know I know it , it just won't come into the light for me to use it.
      Many blessings as you continue into Autumn /Fall and then winter. Love and prayers from this Australian Nanna. 👏🤗💞🙏❤✝️

    I have done this several times now. I love it, I now have most of my head shaved except for a longer middle that I tie up, or when its freshly washed I have out and falling down one side of my face. Its basically and "undercut" I guess. I have a love hate relationship with my hair, before I even had kids. Its thick and blond and hard work, greasy, heavy and grows fast. To keep short with a hair dresser is expensive and a pain (I'd rather be in my garden than a hair salon), but growing it long now is out of the question. This middle ground seems to work really well for now. Its weird though, living in the city people really do have such an idea on what woman should be doing with their hair. Oh i love a good shave. :D
