It's not easy hearing how much bad things have happened to you, I can only say that you don't deserve it, you have put so much into your new lifestyle. You should be feeling really proud of how much you've achieved, don't let it dampen your spirit. All my best wishes from South Africa, hoping to see things looking up for you.❤
Thank you😊, I know it's just a period I need to go through, I will be fine...and also I can't let my head down, with all the beautiful supportive messages I get from you and others! It's really heartwarming to read, and I feel very blessed with all this support ❤ , so thank you
Pets are like children and best friends at the same time. Losing one is never easy, and my heart hurts knowing the pain you have to go through! Hugs and best wishes! The new sheep are super cute 😍
I think yout doing an awesome job. I also lost my dog that came with me to portugal. I know how it hurts so much. Prayers to you for the love you share with animals. Thank you.
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you Sil, good work with the garden produce 👍😁 loosing your best friend is painful luckily you still have the pups so your not going to be alone, let the tears flow that is good for your soul.
@@neutonrenda2303 they are very cute little lambs, and very tame also. Their a joy to have around. If you see them jumping around you can't help yourself to smile
So sorry to hear your going to loose your best friend, she is such a lovely dog. I cried when you told us, and I wish I could be there to help, even if its a lift into Lisbon to get the veterinary care you need. Can the neighbours with their van not help? Stay strong, you have her babies with you to love and look after when she leaves. Remember your never alone, peace and blessings my friend. Take care...ps. the garden looks amazing, you have done a wonderful job. And the cold cellar is really good, lots of hard work all by yourself as well, not easy. You are making a beautiful homestead. Big hugs, love and peace xx
@@BRING619 that's very sweet of you! It realy is! Thanks for caring so much! I put it out of my head to go to Lisbon with her, even if I get there, I don't have the financial needs to pay for expensive operations, and I don't want to put her trough loads of stress, if I'm not guaranteed that she will be healed afterwards. I rather her enjoy her days here with me. She is still good now, she is happy and playful still. I think she might last a few more months ( maybe that's just me hoping) , and the vet was wrong when she said it could be any day now. We will see. I'm happy for evry day I still get the chance to hang out with the best dog in this world 😄
@@leavingbabylonfamilyi know where your at, been there and will be there in a coupple of years. And i agree, its best to let it go at home, do it yourself, imo its better and daster than when the vet does it. Its alright, God bless you both
Condolences on your loved one. My pup had a growth around the neck and chest. It was a sad moment letting him go, I feel that pain brother. We all suffer loss, there are brighter days ahead.

I'm so, so sorry for you are going through, specially your beloved "pup" and Tripod 💔😢 Sometimes life just gives rotten lemon and some how we need to find the good in them.

I will continue to pray for you and for you're Momma fur baby( didn't catch her name)Thanks for sharing ,and being REAL!! God bless you 🙏
@@zacharyneufeld3854 thank you Zachary for your prayers! She is called rohanne (it's a French name, named after the forest she was born in) so far the prayers are being heard, she doesn't show any sign of giving g up anytime soon. She seems happy and playful. I hope it stays like this for a good while still
Living on a holding I know how it can go, especially with animals. Losing my last three, I had them all together, was even harder than normal. They were my last link to my partner, so I know. You are at least going to be there for her. You are doing so much, you should also consider getting time to recoup. Just remember how much you've been through to get to this point. ❤
@@neutonrenda2303 I'm sorry to hear that! That is hard letting go of things that remind you of loved ones... I can imagine the pain you went through. I took it a few days easy now , after uploading this video I was also a bit overwhelmed with allot of message I got , from friend, family and viewer's, who all deeply cared about rohanne and me. It took me a few days to be able to answer everyone... I was actually going take a brake and had planned a little 1week vacation with my girlfriend. But because of wath happening with rohanne, we decided it was best for me to stay home with My doggie.. I will take a break from time to time, but now is not the mo.ent to do so 🙂
I just discovered your channel-I’ll keep watching-it’s great and I’m curious to see more! I wish you some good days with the cooling weather. Man, you are tuff.
I feel ya brother. Much of what you've expressed I also struggle through off grid. Losing animals, that feeling of utter helplessness can drive ya mad. I'm praying for you darlin. Right now I'm trying to fight anxiety with a cat gone missing, yet again. It's difficult. In our region our winters have been deadly for our birds, and testing our resolve with frozen pipes and failing equipment. It's always something, and there's never anyone to lend a humble hand. I grow my own food, but the disappointment takes away all feeling of hunger. It's hard to do off grid with a partner, or solo... and not have that fellowship. I can't quit either. I sure don't fit into the crazy society in the city grid.
Don't be sad, you gave her the most amazing last year's in freedom far away from Babylon. I was diagnosed with tumors in my liver. Not sure if it's a good or bad form.. Tumors are often related to virus infections or internal fungi infection...that's why they use chemo to kill those microbes or fungi , so what ever there's it out day which is a strong virus killer, some vet said dog dewormer is a strong chem that works also against virus ,fungi tumors
So sorry to hear your sad news. Please hang on there. Remember you gave her so much love and care all these years. Please don't give up your dreams. Your dog will always be in your heart. Better times are still to come
@@louisbasso58 hey Louis! Thank you! I will, don't worry I'm not going anywhere. Sometimes sad things happen, and negative thoughts go true your mind, but I know wath I'm doing g here is my path forward in life. And I won't give up, because I want to know where it brings m3
Sometimes life seems to give you a big kick. Like you said the tuff get going. The peace and satisfaction you get from growing and harvesting doesn’t have a dollar value. It has a contentment that fills the heart. Life is about change and how we adapt. Hope you have better days ahead.
Sorry to hear about your struggles man! But sounds good your set on oushing through. You don't know what your abilities are until you make a full commitment to developing them and let them grow. Your tomatoes are looking great. My greenhouse is a complete jungle right now as i missed pruning them due to so much other work. you live and you learn. It looks so dry where you are, i can imagine the heat and drought also takes its tole on ones mental state. But taking time to cool down with a swim every now and again helps releive the stress of the day. your root cellar is looking great. fantastic work man. good luck with the continued harvest.
@@Vilhelmnilsson thanks man! Yeah the tomatoes are doing OK, but I am a bit disappointed in them, I bought plants in spring because I thought I was to late to start from seed, and now I regret it a bit, seems like most plants they sell here in local shops ate the same varieties, and there not much good if you ask me, their growth seem to be stunted after a certain hight, I got a few that where grown from Seed, and they look so much better then the ones bought, but only got a few plants of them. So the amount of tomatoes is bit disappointing, but still with a bit of luck I get a few more decent harvest from the plants. Anyway good luck with your jungle 😄 And yes it's very dry and hot here. And yes it does take mentally a toll on me for sure.. But I think k you would be surprised how .uch water is still here not very deep in the ground. On the surface it's very dry in summer , but my experience here so far is that there even in midst of summer there is still plenty of water just a few meters under ground.
Root celler will help for sure. Your garden is really coming along. Fyi you don't have to plant in a row sometimes it's easier to plant in squares like 3x3 what is comfortable for your arm stretch then when replanting next crop you don't trample and have to reach through and watering is easier. Keep on keeping on
Awww l'm so sorry, my dog was 17 and l lost her in February, l really feel for you. I live alone but didn't feel lonely when she was with me, its hard, they are little soul mates arent they.
@@leavingbabylonfamily Brother you need to do a orchard in your land, it will be a good food supply that will feed you for a long time without too much work.
💜Just look at what you have achieved, from nothing but your own hard work, pheunominal. When you get close to a woman or animal, you just know what will happen, they are sure to break your heart and eventually leave ya. 💜
It's sad to hear about the problems with your animals. Unfortunately those are the setbacks of taking care of animals. The best of luck to you and hang in there. Fantastic harvest you are having. Continue with your positive thoughts. All the best.
I am so sorry for the loss of your ewe and the declining health of your dog. When I lost my 17 yer old cat due to old age and then my meat rabbits due to poisoned feed I felt like quitting. Then I remembered my garden, my animals and my quest for self sufficiency gives me strength and purpose. I hope it does for you too. Take joy in your sweet lambs and know that tomorrow is a new day. 🌞🫶🏻
@@janinecobb sorry to hear that, yes sometimes it's tuff. But like you said I get strength and purpose out of everything else I still want and need to do . Moving forward...
My dog had huge tumor and vet wanted all these meds. I said NO!! Left vet with no medications treat her myself with lots of carrots, and sweet potatoes and lived like 3 more years. Sometimes the medications are much worse. Also do not give flea medications because those are causing so many problems.
fak da is indd hard :( ma zon sterk persoon glik gi gaat daar door graken!!! hoe hard sommige dingen ook zijn je bent echt met iets moois bezig. een echt voorbeeld voor velen !!! (denk ik toch) veel sterkte en courage!!!!
@@hugodouro8172 we got 2 wells and a spring here on the land, 1 well is connected with a pompwho fills up 3 1000l tanks on top of the hill, and from there gravity does the work
Your thumbnail kept coming up on my YT,im happy i finally clicked on it,as you have a great channel. I appreciate your peaceful and mindful approach to living offgrid. Very sorry to hear about your dog,wishing you peace and strength. Look forward to following your channel,God bless.
I want to learn Portuguese, but it's not very easy, I'm picking it up bit by bit. But still long way to go Also there are allot of foreigners living here. So allot of contact with people is in English , and people help me if I need something translated
I found a formula for cleansing black walnut 250 mg 3 times daily wormwood 200 ml 3 times daily, oregano oil 500mg 4 times daily grapefruit seed extract thick as directed , clove oil 500 mg 4 times daily 4 cups of tea, 2 weeks on 2 weeks off. That's for humans maybe figure out how much it weighs and that's the vet or not? I'm not a doctor I just studied this stuff on the internet!
Sad about your dog. Unfortunately vet's will let a person spend a lot of money to do nothing. Some times it works but mostly it doesn't. I have farmed off grid for more than 30 years and some days a person feels so defeated and exasperated . My husband died in january a year and a half ago then I lost a couple of goats and financially in trouble . The only place I felt sane was the gravel pit. I found a heart shaped pink rock that became my grounding stone I felt like it was the earth mother telling me it's okay to feel devastated and overwhelmed . But we must give to life and live if we are alive . So many animals to love and people as well. No human can force someone to love them and if it is time for our beloved critters to pass it just is. It's how we love that counts .
...😢😢. Journey of all living. Glad that you understand and to push yourself forward for better days. I am not good at comforting others 😕 Look at the tomatoes! Your garden is giving you abundant harvest !! Fruits !! Do you know how much they cost me in the States? I took time to look them up for you.... a long list of org produce. Swiss chard $3.60 (5 stalks) Broccoli 2 medium heads $1.80 Cauliflower 1 count (ct) $5 Kale 16oz $2.5 Red bell pepper 1 ct $2.39 Green bean (reg.) 1 lb $2 Cucumber 1 $1.20 Tomatoes (reg.) 4-5 pc $3 Sweet onion 1ct $1.39 Garlic 1ct $.68 Strawberries 16oz $4.30 Blueberries 6oz $3.75 Blackberries (reg) 6oz $3.20 Cucumber pickle 8 in a jar $9 I love figs. I don't get them where I live. Aw....my friend, you have abundance of many things..😂❤ All before tax. (Some organic produce is treated with chemicals called APEEL, poisonous compound. A big question WHY did the FDA do that?? How much did you get from your hard labor in the garden in $$$$ ? All the efforts you put in are for Sil's(I hope it is right) benefits. You are treating yourself very well, in my humble opinion of a 70 year old. Oh....I better stop rumbling on. You got my support, not much but with ❤and sincerity. I appreciate your truthfulness and sharing your experiences so openly.❤❤❤
@@101life9 I am a bit shocked when I read those prices! Thank you so much for putting this together, it does feel like a very good motivation to keep growing food. I'm curious about those prices, are those conventional farm product prices or organic? Some of them seem crazy expensive
@leavingbabylonfamily All Organic except 1 or 2 items. Org. eggs $10/dozen Garlic price regular Broccoli reg. price. Grass fed beef Ribeye steak .70 lb $13.56 All the produce is from the supermarket. I spend at least $310/month on grocery alone 😔 🙁 and the prices are going up... Maybe in your part of the world, these produce are very affordable... not cost-effective to plant them? Do what is best and make full use of your time and labor 😂. Best of luck in your journey 👍
Sorry for you dog. I ques that's the inescapable reality to have pets. They came and go so fast. I can totally relate your channel name "leaving babylon" It taketh God to free ancient Israel form the yoke of the ancient Babylon, and it takes God also today to free us from todays Babylon.
Life would be easier if you put the dog down ,weaned the lambs ,tightened up the fencing ,pre whetted your pig feed ,improved your stock genetics and husbandry skills . If it’s hard you are doing it wrong .
Hé kerel, Laat je vergezellen door iemand die dezelfde kant opkijkt. Iemand die mee in je verhaal wilt stappen en de nodige skills en mogelijk ook financiën heeft. Alleen is maar alleen en brengt je nergens. Ik denk dat je wel wat ruimte kan aanbieden voor een zulk iemand. Een extra huisje zoals een A-frame is makkelijk en snel gebouwd. Niet opgeven en trek je wereld wat meer open.
I can understand your worries about the dog. In Thailand I learned that I let seriously ill animals go. No vet here puts animals down. Buddhist beliefs let nature decide. My Burmese gardener now has his second dog, which he lost to cancer. I look after this dog and treat the open tumors. He hasn't eaten for three days and can hardly walk. He will probably reach the rainbow bridge in the next 24 hours. We know. He will be buried next to his sister in the garden. We have to accept it. Veterinarians can only help to a limited extent in such cases. It's torture for the animals and the cash register rings. My ex-husband/friend has sent you an email if you want to move for better conditions.
That is heartless. He has to suffer until he dies. I don't think the vet in Thailand would cost that much to euthanize him so he doesn't have to suffer anymore.
@@SuperBotanica yeah she is fine still at the moment, but I might do the same when that time comes.. Didn't receive any email I think... But thank you!
@@saeedandalusi7579 thanks for the concern 😄 I got somebody.. sometimes a man needs to be patient...And to be honest I never feel lonely. I like spending time on my own, but with my dogs and animals. got some good neighbours around also with who I have great company on few evenings a week.
@@leavingbabylonfamily Somebody full time is different, a wife. Go sober, cut the hair, keep the beard though, do a sort of like...."rebranding". Life is for fighting.
I see your sadness in your eyes. Love to you little brother. One thing: don't waste time or money on big farma, it doesn't cure anything. Try cbd oil, curcuma capsules in large quantity, activated carbon or shungite powder in her food. Also, no more farma brokkies, only raw meat. Take this as a lesson on big farma programming and study. One day it could be you: she is teaching you something very important. You say that one person's - a farma vet - opinion has changed you from trust to "knowing she will die". Think about that a moment. Your mind can be much stronger. You say at least 4 times in this video: "when I lose her, that she will die" etc. How many times per minute do you place this upon her? Even, " though it doesn't look as if she is sick: she will die any day". Again, reflect. How many false cancer diagnoses have killed a human? Many. She listens to your energy: use every second now to tell her stories of life and not death. If she goes, then cry. Off grid also means your whole programming, not just where your food comes from. You have hands of light: touch her and lay hands on her.
It's not easy hearing how much bad things have happened to you, I can only say that you don't deserve it, you have put so much into your new lifestyle. You should be feeling really proud of how much you've achieved, don't let it dampen your spirit. All my best wishes from South Africa, hoping to see things looking up for you.❤

Thanks Joanna!😊 Yeah I'm very happy with the new lambs, they are very cute
I'm so, so sorry for you are going through, specially your beloved "pup" and Tripod 💔😢
Sometimes life just gives rotten lemon and some how we need to find the good in them. My heart is breaking for your you and your puppy 💔.
On the up side your tomato harvest looks amazing 😍.
Great source of income as well your own food. The root cellar is looking so, so good ❤
And congrats on the new family additions❤❤❤❤
@@catarinacarrasco5938 thank you Catarina for everything, for your support and compassion! It helps and means allot to me!
And I can tell you it doesn't only look good, but they taste amazing to 😄
I know how much you love those animals that you have ! That dog is you're companion/family, you're first child so to speak. That is hard bro, I'm sorry this is the outcome. I will continue to pray for you and for you're Momma fur baby( didn't catch her name)Thanks for sharing ,and being REAL!! God bless you 🙏
@@zacharyneufeld3854 thank you Zachary for your prayers! She is called rohanne (it's a French name, named after the forest she was born in) so far the prayers are being heard, she doesn't show any sign of giving g up anytime soon. She seems happy and playful. I hope it stays like this for a good while still
Living on a holding I know how it can go, especially with animals. Losing my last three, I had them all together, was even harder than normal. They were my last link to my partner, so I know. You are at least going to be there for her. You are doing so much, you should also consider getting time to recoup. Just remember how much you've been through to get to this point. ❤
@@neutonrenda2303 I'm sorry to hear that! That is hard letting go of things that remind you of loved ones... I can imagine the pain you went through. I took it a few days easy now , after uploading this video I was also a bit overwhelmed with allot of message I got , from friend, family and viewer's, who all deeply cared about rohanne and me. It took me a few days to be able to answer everyone...
I was actually going take a brake and had planned a little 1week vacation with my girlfriend. But because of wath happening with rohanne, we decided it was best for me to stay home with My doggie.. I will take a break from time to time, but now is not the mo.ent to do so 🙂
Stay strong, you are doing amazing. ❤
I just discovered your channel-I’ll keep watching-it’s great and I’m curious to see more! I wish you some good days with the cooling weather. Man, you are tuff.
Sympathy fir your loss, thats a tough one. Good video, thanks for posting♥
I feel ya brother. Much of what you've expressed I also struggle through off grid. Losing animals, that feeling of utter helplessness can drive ya mad. I'm praying for you darlin. Right now I'm trying to fight anxiety with a cat gone missing, yet again. It's difficult. In our region our winters have been deadly for our birds, and testing our resolve with frozen pipes and failing equipment. It's always something, and there's never anyone to lend a humble hand. I grow my own food, but the disappointment takes away all feeling of hunger. It's hard to do off grid with a partner, or solo... and not have that fellowship. I can't quit either. I sure don't fit into the crazy society in the city grid.
No matter what happens, the sun will shine tomorrow and the stars tonight ✨️ 💛 I love hotsource 😊
@@empret7704 you are very right! And I keep that in mind. Thanks you
Don't be sad, you gave her the most amazing last year's in freedom far away from Babylon. I was diagnosed with tumors in my liver. Not sure if it's a good or bad form.. Tumors are often related to virus infections or internal fungi infection...that's why they use chemo to kill those microbes or fungi , so what ever there's it out day which is a strong virus killer, some vet said dog dewormer is a strong chem that works also against virus ,fungi tumors
So sorry to hear your sad news. Please hang on there. Remember you gave her so much love and care all these years. Please don't give up your dreams. Your dog will always be in your heart. Better times are still to come
@@louisbasso58 hey Louis! Thank you! I will, don't worry I'm not going anywhere. Sometimes sad things happen, and negative thoughts go true your mind, but I know wath I'm doing g here is my path forward in life. And I won't give up, because I want to know where it brings m3

@@1TrueNature don't worry 😀 I will...
Sometimes life seems to give you a big kick. Like you said the tuff get going. The peace and satisfaction you get from growing and harvesting doesn’t have a dollar value. It has a contentment that fills the heart. Life is about change and how we adapt. Hope you have better days ahead.
And what would you do if you quit there? Life happens anywhere anytime. But I am very sorry life is tough for you now. We love your videos.
@@bettytroyer9436 I know you are very right about that. Thank you! Happy to know you are enjoying my videos!
Sorry to hear about your doggie. Mine died a few months ago. She was my best friend. I am ok though and it does get easier. x
Sorry to hear about your struggles man! But sounds good your set on oushing through. You don't know what your abilities are until you make a full commitment to developing them and let them grow. Your tomatoes are looking great. My greenhouse is a complete jungle right now as i missed pruning them due to so much other work. you live and you learn.
It looks so dry where you are, i can imagine the heat and drought also takes its tole on ones mental state. But taking time to cool down with a swim every now and again helps releive the stress of the day.
your root cellar is looking great. fantastic work man. good luck with the continued harvest.
@@Vilhelmnilsson thanks man!
Yeah the tomatoes are doing OK, but I am a bit disappointed in them, I bought plants in spring because I thought I was to late to start from seed, and now I regret it a bit, seems like most plants they sell here in local shops ate the same varieties, and there not much good if you ask me, their growth seem to be stunted after a certain hight, I got a few that where grown from Seed, and they look so much better then the ones bought, but only got a few plants of them. So the amount of tomatoes is bit disappointing, but still with a bit of luck I get a few more decent harvest from the plants. Anyway good luck with your jungle 😄
And yes it's very dry and hot here. And yes it does take mentally a toll on me for sure..
But I think k you would be surprised how .uch water is still here not very deep in the ground. On the surface it's very dry in summer , but my experience here so far is that there even in midst of summer there is still plenty of water just a few meters under ground.
So sorry for your sheep too. 💔
Root celler will help for sure. Your garden is really coming along. Fyi you don't have to plant in a row sometimes it's easier to plant in squares like 3x3 what is comfortable for your arm stretch then when replanting next crop you don't trample and have to reach through and watering is easier. Keep on keeping on

I am so sorry for the loss of your ewe and the declining health of your dog. When I lost my 17 yer old cat due to old age and then my meat rabbits due to poisoned feed I felt like quitting.

Take joy in your sweet lambs and know that tomorrow is a new day. 🌞🫶🏻

My dog had huge tumor and vet wanted all these meds. I said NO!! Left vet with no medications treat her myself with lots of carrots, and sweet potatoes and lived like 3 more years. Sometimes the medications are much worse. Also do not give flea medications because those are causing so many problems.

Is it possible yo live there if i do t speak Portuguese?
I want to learn Portuguese, but it's not very easy, I'm picking it up bit by bit. But still long way to go
Also there are allot of foreigners living here. So allot of contact with people is in English , and people help me if I need something translated
❤
I found a formula for cleansing black walnut 250 mg 3 times daily wormwood 200 ml 3 times daily, oregano oil 500mg 4 times daily grapefruit seed extract thick as directed , clove oil 500 mg 4 times daily 4 cups of tea, 2 weeks on 2 weeks off. That's for humans maybe figure out how much it weighs and that's the vet or not? I'm not a doctor I just studied this stuff on the internet!
Sad about your dog. Unfortunately vet's will let a person spend a lot of money to do nothing. Some times it works but mostly it doesn't. I have farmed off grid for more than 30 years and some days a person feels so defeated and exasperated . My husband died in january a year and a half ago then I lost a couple of goats and financially in trouble . The only place I felt sane was the gravel pit. I found a heart shaped pink rock that became my grounding stone I felt like it was the earth mother telling me it's okay to feel devastated and overwhelmed . But we must give to life and live if we are alive . So many animals to love and people as well. No human can force someone to love them and if it is time for our beloved critters to pass it just is. It's how we love that counts .
My dog has a inoperable tumor allso breaking my heart
...😢😢. Journey of all living. Glad that you understand and to push yourself forward for better days. I am not good at comforting others 😕
Look at the tomatoes! Your garden is giving you abundant harvest !! Fruits !! Do you know how much they cost me in the States? I took time to look them up for you.... a long list of org produce.
Swiss chard $3.60 (5 stalks)
Broccoli 2 medium heads $1.80
Cauliflower 1 count (ct) $5
Kale 16oz $2.5
Red bell pepper 1 ct $2.39
Green bean (reg.) 1 lb $2
Cucumber 1 $1.20
Tomatoes (reg.) 4-5 pc $3
Sweet onion 1ct $1.39
Garlic 1ct $.68
Strawberries 16oz $4.30
Blueberries 6oz $3.75
Blackberries (reg) 6oz $3.20
Cucumber pickle 8 in a jar $9
I love figs. I don't get them where I live. Aw....my friend, you have abundance of many things..😂❤
All before tax. (Some organic produce is treated with chemicals called APEEL, poisonous compound. A big question WHY did the FDA do that??
How much did you get from your hard labor in the garden in $$$$ ?
All the efforts you put in are for Sil's(I hope it is right) benefits. You are treating yourself very well, in my humble opinion of a 70 year old. Oh....I better stop rumbling on. You got my support, not much but with ❤and sincerity. I appreciate your truthfulness and sharing your experiences so openly.❤❤❤
@@101life9 I am a bit shocked when I read those prices! Thank you so much for putting this together, it does feel like a very good motivation to keep growing food.
I'm curious about those prices, are those conventional farm product prices or organic? Some of them seem crazy expensive
@@101life9 and thank you for everything, for your continuous support! ❤❤❤ your amazing
@leavingbabylonfamily
All Organic except 1 or 2 items.
Org. eggs $10/dozen
Garlic price regular
Broccoli reg. price.
Grass fed beef Ribeye steak .70 lb $13.56
All the produce is from the supermarket.
I spend at least $310/month on grocery alone 😔 🙁 and the prices are going up...
Maybe in your part of the world, these produce are very affordable... not cost-effective to plant them? Do what is best and make full use of your time and labor 😂. Best of luck in your journey 👍
Sorry for you dog. I ques that's the inescapable reality to have pets. They came and go so fast. I can totally relate your channel name "leaving babylon" It taketh God to free ancient Israel form the yoke of the ancient Babylon, and it takes God also today to free us from todays Babylon.
Life would be easier if you put the dog down ,weaned the lambs ,tightened up the fencing ,pre whetted your pig feed ,improved your stock genetics and husbandry skills . If it’s hard you are doing it wrong .
Hé kerel,
Laat je vergezellen door iemand die dezelfde kant opkijkt.
Iemand die mee in je verhaal wilt stappen en de nodige skills en mogelijk ook financiën heeft.
Alleen is maar alleen en brengt je nergens.
Ik denk dat je wel wat ruimte kan aanbieden voor een zulk iemand.
Een extra huisje zoals een A-frame is makkelijk en snel gebouwd.
Niet opgeven en trek je wereld wat meer open.
Babylon marks on ears
Yeah bro, why are you doing this?
the first rule of farm animals dont make pets out of them , big nono
My dogs are pets, they where before I got here, and they still going to be in the future..
I can understand your worries about the dog. In Thailand I learned that I let seriously ill animals go. No vet here puts animals down. Buddhist beliefs let nature decide. My Burmese gardener now has his second dog, which he lost to cancer. I look after this dog and treat the open tumors. He hasn't eaten for three days and can hardly walk. He will probably reach the rainbow bridge in the next 24 hours. We know. He will be buried next to his sister in the garden. We have to accept it. Veterinarians can only help to a limited extent in such cases. It's torture for the animals and the cash register rings. My ex-husband/friend has sent you an email if you want to move for better conditions.
That is heartless. He has to suffer until he dies. I don't think the vet in Thailand would cost that much to euthanize him so he doesn't have to suffer anymore.
@@SuperBotanica yeah she is fine still at the moment, but I might do the same when that time comes..

Love to you little brother.
One thing: don't waste time or money on big farma, it doesn't cure anything. Try cbd oil, curcuma capsules in large quantity, activated carbon or shungite powder in her food. Also, no more farma brokkies, only raw meat. Take this as a lesson on big farma programming and study. One day it could be you: she is teaching you something very important.
You say that one person's - a farma vet - opinion has changed you from trust to "knowing she will die".
Think about that a moment. Your mind can be much stronger. You say at least 4 times in this video: "when I lose her, that she will die" etc. How many times per minute do you place this upon her? Even, " though it doesn't look as if she is sick: she will die any day".
Again, reflect.
How many false cancer diagnoses have killed a human? Many.
She listens to your energy: use every second now to tell her stories of life and not death. If she goes, then cry.
Off grid also means your whole programming, not just where your food comes from.
You have hands of light: touch her and lay hands on her.
