It has been awhile since we put out a video. We really would like to make more of them to document the types of things we are working on but usually we are too tired. 🙂 Anyway, enjoy!

Goats, Okra, and Ruthie
She has always had an easy way with animals. She doesn’t spook easily, unless Abby the goat is nearby, but then again that goat frightens me and I’m not three feet tall. Overall, she has always taken well to animals and they have, in turn, taken well to her. Her personality reminds me of a…
Lessons From the Woodshop
In response to my confession that I nearly cried the first time he started to crawl, this young man inquired as to my reasoning with a slight chuckle. He was eating, as he often is, and in between bites I noticed how he now more resembles a teenager than the boy of twelve years that…
Gratitude in Chaos
I thrive on schedules, lists and structure. I am not a super organized person by nature, though I wish I were. With little ones it is even more of a struggle to find that rhythm and stay on task. The past few weeks, however, I was finding more structure, planning a new morning routine and…

So beautiful!! Amazing that your young sons already know how to mix cement and “plant” fence posts! So much more useful than knowing how to play video games as most kids do. Bless you guys!!
Love the video! Thank you for sharing.
It may or may not be helpful, but every wooden fence post installed on our four acres was done a bit differently… The holes were dug then the post placed exactly as it was to stand. I held the post as my husband poured dry cement mix into the hole and tamped it down to pack it around the post. Moisture from the surrounding ground usually set the cement overnight. They are still tight and standing strong after 22 years.
