I remember the fall colors 🍁🍁🍁of northern Maine when I was stationed at Loring AFB. It was magical!!!!
The colors here seem so much more vibrant. It is absolutely magical!!♥️🍁♥️
Winter will be here in the blink of an eye. One year we had 3 inches fall end of September and didnt leave until mid May. We had a pile of snow that year. The shoveling was nonstop!
Hey….don’t jinx us!!😂🤣
@@HanbleceyaRanch 33 degrees here right now. Headed out to cover my yacon just in case.
Oh man. I was out on my lend for 17 years. After like the first few i knew it had to be fixed. same looking road. On my right side I made sure the old creek bed was running good. Problem was that the left side of my land wanted to drain there. I ended up creating a swale and sent the water to a speed bump like you have but it always washed out. I borrowed my neighbors excavator and cut across my road. A little concrete and a cattle guard and life was good again.
That is a brilliant idea! Definitely something we need to consider!! Thanks!😊
The colors are absolutely stunning on the trees. Over the past week I have been to RI, MA, NH, VT, NY, CT, PA, and now ME. I do think the colors are more vibrant in ME. Esp the farther north I have gotten.
You have hit some beautiful areas at the right time of year!! The colors do seem very vibrant in Maine. ♥️🍁♥️
@@HanbleceyaRanch yes, I really lucked out :-) drove all the way to Fort Kent. Absolutely gorgeous there.
I like your to-do-list on your work shed door handle haha.
Have quite a few of those all over!!😂
😂you never escape! Doing the same next month 🤮😂
Taxes? Winter prep?
Good that you got ready for winter it will be here before you know it. Road repair …you been busy and taking care of the chicken coop. Beautiful red tree think red maple ? 😊
Still lots to do before the snow flies! It was a maple…love the reds!!♥️🍁
Fall is my favorite time of year and our leaves don't change until December by me still in the upper 100's here in AZ. Up north they change in late October and November
It is our favorite too!! Those temps you have are a bit too hot for us!!😂
Great job plugging away at the winter prep! It's 16:27 never done. As soon as you complete one project, you think of another! But that is homesteading in a nutshell anyway I guess. 😂
Thanks!👍 There is always something to get done. Even after we finally finish building….then we have the upkeep of everything! Life of a homesteader!! 😊
Beautiful colors!
They are amazing!!♥️🍁♥️
That was a very smart thing to do by just leaving the opening above the door left empty so ventilation can do its job! Oh yeah, repurpose that canvas shed for the winter chicken run! Tuck that baby under the netting, and achor the side poles to the side of your pens. Great job!
Thanks! We can’t leave the netting up because of the snow! The weight would tear it down. We do have plans to make some changes next year. 😉
cut a piece of 1 in installation board
Great idea!👍
great job and look good it matches
Thanks 👍 We like it!😊
Hi Jason n Jen
Wow it sure is looking pretty
out there, love the colored trees!
Question, 😬
Will you eventually move all your
tools over in your big shop? Why I ask
you say, is cause I seen you get stuff
out of the big shop and then walk over
to the shed and get your tools.
Just nosy! 🤪
Good job on getting some projects done,
It’s getting exciting for the front porch,
I can’t wait!
Stay safe, warm, and God Bless my friends❤
Hi Pam!👋
Hope all is well!!
Yes, we will move everything to the shop. We plan on moving the big stuff soon and the as the weather gets bad he can work on setting up the inside without worrying about the weather.
The trees are amazing right now and the weather is quickly changing so we have to get things buckled up soon!! Take care and God bless!♥️🙏♥️
It's almost stick season up there bud! Getting some snow soon? We still got some green on the trees down here near Milo.
Also I like your hat.
We are hoping the snow holds off for a bit. We still have lots to do!!
Thanks! I like it too!👍
There’s a lot to be said about thinking about every project as small pieces ! Take care
Thanks!👍 You too!
Thumbs up
👍👋
Well Mother Nature isn’t being very nice right now! So I’m on the gulf side of Florida. And hurricane Milton is not playing fair! A category 5 at the moment! Not looking forward to Wednesday coming!! I’d rather be in Maine!!
So sorry to hear that!! Please be safe and take care!! I have a friend who is still cleaning up after Helene. Praying for all of you !!♥️🙏♥️
take care Judith
they never end do they allways something to do if ya own esp farm
Once everything is built then it will be the upkeep. Always something to do out here. But once everything is built we will be able to slow down a bit!😊
Love the Channel !! Looking to buy Land in Maine for the same Thing. Vallejo, CA for Trump 2024 !!!
Thank you!! Best of luck on your journey! It’s hard work but so worth it!! 👍
