    I am 65 years old and my husband is 70. We are very much into the natural lifestyle but weren't blessed to be able to do so. We live vicariously through you and enjoy watching you live amongst God's blessings. You are an amazing couple doing amazing things. Your house building skills are phenomenal and, in my opinion, meet or exceed any contractor in the USA. You do such beautiful work. May God continue to bless you to meet all of your dreams.
    One question, if you don't mind me asking, how do you financially afford making your dreams come true?

    I grew up in the city but my grandparents lived in an island with no electricity and savory breakfast was very common. I truly missed those days. Getting water grom the well and enjoying the fruits around the island ❤ i love your channel

    your place is so beautiful, I am really enjoying these videos. Just a small tip from a gardener in an area without much rain : if you cover the soil around your plants with organic matter ( leaves or wood from around your land ) , the humidity will stay much longer in the soil and it doesn't get dried out by the sun! Meanwhile you will create a healthy soil. Also the banana trunk and leaves work great for this.
    Keep up your great videos!

    Growing up in the US it's most common to have either a sweet breakfast (usually) or something like bacon and eggs. But when I spent a month in China back in 1996, I are what the local rural people there ate. For me it was strange that they ate the same kings of things for breakfast that they ate for lunch and dinner. Since it was in Sichuan where the food is very spicy (and savory), it was three meals of spicy food a day! Fortunately I LOVE spicy food, and it was always made from fresh, local ingredients and was very high quality nutrient dense food as well. But after a month of it, I have to admit that I was relieved to return home and eat some foods that were more familiar to me! Even when I had savory food for breakfast, it was nice to have a relatively bland (not HOT and spicy) meal again. My favorite part about traveling is trying and enjoying the local cuisine. I would LOVE to try some of the foods you enjoy there...

    hi! new subscriber here!
    I think most of indonesian people prefer savory over sweet breakfast, I'm included, but I crave jam and toast or sweet oats in the morning too sometimes, it clearly effected by western youtube channel I watch 🤣🤣🤣

    • @OurIslandLife

    Thank you for sharing your life with us. I am laughing at the savory or sweet breakfast question. That is my challenge when I watch people from different countries. I always think if I woke up to what they eat in Japan I would die. Definitely a sweet breakfast preference for this American.🥞

    Gelukkig nieuw jaar! 🎉 de tuin ziet er mooi uit. Hoe vaak kun je oogsten in een jaar? bijv pompoen? Is het een keer of vaker?

    • @OurIslandLife
      @OurIslandLife  11 месяцев назад +2

      Dankjewel! Voor jou ook een gelukkig nieuwjaar! Het is de eerste keer dat we pompoen hebben maar bv de chili plant hebben we al meer dan een jaar en er zijn constant nieuwe chili’s. Hij was op een moment wel bijna dood maar dan hebben we hem verzet en kwam hij weer tot leven. De kleine groene aubergine geeft ook al een maand of 5 vruchten 😃
