      I also took “home ec” in middle school and loved it! We not only learned how to freeze food (no canning) and how to sew a skirt, we learned different furniture styles, the color wheel with tints and hues. My family moved when I was going into 10th grade and I signed up for it the new school. It was completely different because most of the girls usually got married within a year or so of graduating. Insurance, flatwear, dish patterns, etc were the focus, none of which I was interested in but was important regardless of your plans. That was 55 years ago when girls mostly either got married, became a teacher or a nurse, period. Glad there are many more choices available now including what being a homemaker can be for each individual. 👌👏👍

    I can SO relate to feeling a definite loss losing a tree. Almost like a death in the family. On the farm I grew up on (near where Laura and Aaron are), we had a really big weeping white birch. It was beautiful, and I spent a tremendous amount of time in my youth up in that tree. I would read books up there and watch the world go by from that high very private vantage point. Well, I moved away, my dad passed away, my mom and my brother and his family still were there. (My brother and his family were then living in another house nearby). My mom took a couple of years to spend time away, renting the house out to another family. During that time, the grass under the tree was removed for another project, so irrigation was suspended around the tree. No one thought about watering the tree and it died. I still morn the loss of that tree and it’s been years since any of us has lived there. I morn the loss of the farm, too, and I haven’t had a say in the running of that farm in decades, but I still feel it 😥

    Several years ago, I watched a Jack Barnwell video where he was walking through a forest area that he and his father used to walk when Jack was a child. He said (paraphrasing) that his father taught him that the forest is like the ocean...always changing. The earth moves and those "waves" move the plants. Some trees fall and create huge earth mounds upon which other plants and trees will grow...I just remember being so comforted by that! It has helped me learn to appreciate the trees I have and while I mourn those I lose, I know their purpose will continue and they will live on in my memory. Cow! My husband and I are moving to the country (again and finally!) and I have decided I am going to have chickens and possibly a cow! My sister has a cattle farm and she thinks a milk cow would be a good addition for our new home. I am really excited! I will follow your journey, too, should you decide on that "next step"!

I mentioned that very fact to my Mom one day years ago and she explained it like this.....your brain is like a carousel that goes around and around, and if you can't think of the name, information, etc......just wait a minute and it'll come around again. I asked her what happens if the carousel goes around several times and you still can't catch the info.....she said "Oh Honey...your carousel is too full. You need to knock some stuff off of there!" She told me these words of wisdom when she was in her 90s. I was just so relieved to know I was not quite as bad off as I thought I was!!!

      I have owned Chaos for over a decade. I take them travelling, swimming, SUPping, hiking and love them. They also are easy to repair if the sole starts to come apart. :)

      I love my chacos for hiking and water. I love the look of the style that straps around the big toe but hate how it feels, so I buy the style that does not have the "toe jail".

    I’ve watched your videos religiously for YEARS…. Started with “how to prune a rose bush” (in the townhouse). You’ve been deemed “my friend Laura” ever since. I’ve never commented before - this video got me for 2 key items that stuck a cord.
    1) Aaron…. “Going to a Vikings game with my family” - you caught my heart as a born and raise MN sports fan! 💜💛🏈 (Although currently living in the border in Fargo, ND)
    2) “Some people are just not socially aware.” We built a home on a 2 acre wooded lot and planned out my DREAM garden while we wait for grass to grow and winter to subside. (It’s an enclosed garden due to heavy deer, turkey, groundhog & rabbit pressure.) it was PERFECT. Someone bought the lot next to us…. Ripped out ALL the trees…. And put a TWO HUNDRED FOOT driveway ON the property line. WIth a 30’ shed at the end. (RIGHT in the property line - RIGHT behind the BEAUTIFUL garden we’ve been working on for a year. The orchard planned behind is no longer feasible due to the infrastructure (and ascetics)….
    3) And 9 of our established trees’ root systems near that edge have gotten damaged from the driveway work - according to our arborist. They need to be removed.
    It’s so disheartening trying to understand people’s selfish thigh processes…. They also have 2 acres and saw what we were doing… I just don’t get it. 😢

    Anyone that sets out a pot of grass for their indoor cat is growing either wheat grass or oat grass. So yes! Wheat grows great in pots! It just looks like lovely soft grass and keeps flushing back as cats chew it down but eventually it sets seed.

    At some point as a mom of littles, I switched over to making any & all sweet breads in muffin tins. No more mangled loaves, no need for me to cut (and cut, and cut). I love using the Wilton cupcake batter spoons to measure the right amount for each muffin. Game changer so everyone's muffin was the same.
    Also, if you like peanut butter, mix some peanut butter and brown sugar together. Make your Banana bread recipe, but fill your muffin tins about 1/3rd full . Place a teaspoon +/- of the peanut butter mixture in the middle of each muffin. Top with the remaining batter, making sure to cover the peanut butter and bake as usual. My kids loved coming home from school and finding "Peanut Butter Surprise" muffins waiting for them. (Sorry, I don't really have a recipe for the peanut butter mixture, I just made it up one day to put some protein into the muffins.)

    When I was a kid here in UK my dad had two Jersey cows and used to milk them each morning, just sitting on a milk stool, using a metal pail. After 2 hours in the pantry we'd skim 1" of cream off the top. So delicious. Cows were very friendly and safe near us little children, dad even sat us on their backs. Lots of cow pats of course, lol.

    Hi Laura!
    Aaron is right. Know the motives. I have been a garden answer fan since COVID. Your love of gardening, lifting up others, and inspiring more people to try gardening comes through in everything you do. If you have another free flower day, share it. Share the love that you are giving to friends and family. Goodness spreads goodness. And maybe pray on it. I can hear the humility is important to you and I know God will too. Have a wonderful day.

    Hey, Aaron, I'm 5'4 3/4" and I definitely tell people I'm 5'5"! btw, you guys are so smart to take those daily evening walks, "post prandial" they're called! After dinner, helps with digestion, cooler part of the day, checking on and enjoying your property that you work so hard on, teaching your children, appreciating who made all things, and getting some valuable mild daily exercise (besides all the hard work you do!).

    Oh my gosh! I hate my dianthus for the exact same reasons, but I haven't pulled it out yet because I feel bad since it is alive and happy where it's at. I bought them at the garden center 3 years ago! 😂 I have a ground-cover phlox that I love though, it does have gorgeous super early blooms and I never do anything to it and then it just loses the blooms and looks like a gorgeous little ground cover the rest of the year.

    A note on the tannins happening in the pond, it will eventually go away with water evap and fresh water being added in.
    Will just look a bit coffe-water-like for a few months.
    Otherwise you could do more frequent water changes to speed up the tannins being removed.

    Losing trees is so hard. We had to take out two huge trees in February. A white maple and a pecan. They were dying slowly and we could have kept them going but bit the bullet and had them removed. The change in our yard is enormous and has been tough to adjust to. We’re looking at it as an opportunity to redevelop the yard. It’s a slow process but should be great in the end. Mourning the loss is sometimes much heavier than others.

    In NY, we call the class FACS - Family and Consumer Science. My sixth graders have a half-year (20 weeks) of cooking and kitchen skills then a quarter of sewing and a quarter of career exploration. Classes are not segregated by gender. The classes are using small kitchens that were just reconfigured with better space allocations and new appliances. They also make videos of skills or cooking at home.
