Plumbing no plumbing… guests no guests… hmmm, that’s a dilemma that I would weigh carefully 😂
I just love your videos, and you guys!! ps. If you're open to sharing, I'd love to hear an update on your debt free progress.. Sending lots of love!
In these type of videos it shows the incredible love y'all have for each other and how much y'all enjoy spending time with each other and having seen y'all in busy busy seasons and this more of a relaxed season taking a year of rest it just seems so much like a year or rest and reconnecting and less stress it is lovely
♥
I totally agree! I really admire them!
The little blue flower from the greenhouse is an annual Lobelia. The blue stalk flower by the shed is Grape Hyacinth.
Speaking of putting plumbing at the cabin,someone once said “ if you build it they will come”.
I love the topic "how-to" specific videos as well as these blog "what we did this week" or "dinner with Q&A" type videos, y'all are wonderful and happy to watch whatever you are able to share. Even with these blog style, it's both fun and informative. 💚 Hope Rachel and Todd's mom had a wonderful Mother's Day!
I got flowers and plants too for my front porch for Mother’s Day. It made me so happy to be doing my annual porch clean up and potting of my spring and summer flowers yesterday. I am determined to fertilize and water them regularly and keep them alive longer than a month!
I love the day in the life of the homestead videos. I feel like it shows that it's all a process that's takes time
Happy Mothers Day Rachel. We have pines that my husband planted. He likes pine’s because it’s the only tree that’s green in the winter. He feels that all the other trees look dead during the winter.
Hi you two, and Happy Mother’s Day. Not to worry you, but Norway Spruce gets 25 to 30 feet wide at maturity, and up to 60 feet tall. Because they are one if the fastest growing evergreens, you would be wise to give your spruces plenty of room. It is really tempting to plant trees for the size they are today, not the size they will become. “Norway spruces grow to heights of 40-60 feet, with a spread of around 25-30 feet - make sure to consider the size of the tree and do not plant this tree in close proximity to buildings or underneath overhead utilities.” We planted one 20 years ago and gave the tree 15 feet from the center of the trunk to the edge of a shrub border, and it has grown to the very edge. Because what was sunny is now in shade, the shrub border needs heavy pruning now to allow the spruce enough sun. It is also next to an oak tree, and we need to do some pruning on the oak tree to give the spruce the sun it needs. Just FYI, so you can measure to make certain you have enough space for sun all the way around. I’ve always heard the best time to plant a tree is 10 years ago! Hugs to you and your trees.
Happy Mother's Day, Rachel! Hope you have an amazing day.
I love all your video’s. Living vicariously thru someone half my age 💕
I love these videos where we just hang out with you guys! I’m so glad you are getting your plant/garden fix Rachel even though you aren’t doing a veggie garden!
I think the elderberry could go in with chickens, if it’s mature enough they will seek shelter and harvest the berry’s which are beneficial for them.
The shrimp plant is actually a chenille plant aka red hot cattail. Shrimp plants looks a lot like shrimp. Happy Mother's day!!
Lovely Mothers Day video, Todd and Rachel. Honoring the greatest Mother of all by planting trees as well as sharing the treating of Rachel and Todd’s mother. ❤
I planted a perimeter of Spruce and pines around my 1850 farmhouse as well. Privacy and protection from the weather outsiders are very important. Enjoy.
The very first video I saw from you guys was a couple of years ago and I subscribed immediately. The video was of Rachel walking through the yard early morning picking pears; no chatting, no fan-flare, just the simplicity and peace of nature. I loved it! This video, though a bit different, reminded me of that moment. It's the videos like these that keep me coming back. A couple of months ago, I commented that your videos had become a bit boring, but I am seeing the change. The spark is coming back. Thank you!
The plant with the little blue flowers for the porch are lobelia. I do enjoy this type of video.
Actually, the dandelions are an amazing sign. Your calcium is good in your soil. Love the trees.
I wish you a happy happy Mother’s Day! Your children are so blessed to have such an amazing woman as their mama, confidant & friend. I hope you had a blessed day ❤❤❤❤
Our property was purchased new in 1853. Our relatives use to put old pottery and things down the outhouses. We thankfully know where the outhouses were so we aren’t digging that stuff out.
I enjoy the Vlog style videos. It feels like visiting a friend.
Todd if you want privacy, look up cedrus deodara. Incredible cedar that black walnut won't kill or sicken.
Ours was about 40 ft apart between trunks. You stager the trim only on last two bottom rows about every 5 to 10 years. It saved our roof years ago from tornado winds. Just beautiful..
What a transformation of that area! Love seeing the before photos for comparison! Love the idea of perennials every year for Mothers day so that's becoming a thing round here....😅 great video!
Hope you had a nice Mother's Day!!!
Eight planters and baskets full of flowers and ofc we have a frost warning tonight😢
Typical ..
Hope you got spoiled🌷🌼🌻
I totally enjoy your regular vlogs. My favorite time of year as well. Growing and planting like crazy
I love whatever video you two do! Both of you are so relaxing. I feel peace and inspiration when I watch your videos! Thank you so much!
When I was a child, we lived in France and they did grow fields of dandelions. My mother bought a seed packet of dandelion seeds to prove it. You should make some dandelion jelly. It is apparently the thing right now.
Due to my love of trees I Totally enjoyed watching this video.Thanks for bringing us along.
Happy Mother's Day Rachel!
Happy Mother's Day, Rachel! 🙂
I hope you had a beautiful mother's day Rachel! You and Todd are my Zen farming gurus 💖
Happy Mothers Day to ALL the Mama's!❤
Love watching you plant all the new trees, you are making your sweet homestead even more beautiful! The birds and little critters will be so happy. ❤️🌲🌳
How lovely u have a man to talk with and can work with!! 💖💖
Happy Mother's Day To You Rachel ❤
Watching you work in the yard is great fun and provides the motivation I need to work in mine.
Enjoying the planting videos and tour of the backyard plants. Happy mother's day Rachel.
I love these types of vlogs. Makes me feel as if I can make this happen. Praying God will give me land because we promised God to never go into debt ever again. Want put of this city so bad. Thank you for sharing with us ]. God's blessing to you and yours
Happy Mother's Day Rachel❤
Your place is beautiful! I enjoy this type of video, it’s like spending the day with friends and learning things. Makes me want to digging in my yard!
The AP Hauls all his water for his home in Alasks.
Love these types of videos! I tend to watch/listen while in the kitchen or working on easy work.
You can dry dandelion plants and make tea out of it. You can make jelly out of the petals and I'm sure there are more ways to use it. Eat the flowers in salad.
I definitely enjoy this type of video to see the day to day life on the homestead ❤
Hi Todd & Rachel Happy Belated Mother’s Day ❤ 5-15-2023❤😊
We love spending time with yawl. We have been doing random weekend video's as well on our channel and it's fun to just show folks what we do. Love the pine trees. God Bless.
That groundcover with the light leaves looks like an ajuga. If you bought something to propagate, ohhh boy, that is a winner, lol. I bought 6 plants 3 years ago and it is now a hundred foot border on our fence, a 2 foot deep ring around 4 large trees, a spilling plant in pots, and solidly covers an area 3' x 10' where I dig it to transplant in my shady areas. If you want to cut down on the decorative mulch you have to buy, this fills in really nice.
Pines are beautiful and add visual interest and variety to the landscape. Plus they’re evergreen and green in the winter when everything else is brown and dormant. I don’t understand why someone would ask that kind of question 🤨
Love, love, love these vlogs!!! Like catching up with friends ❤!
I've been missing trees around my house, you just made me think, I'm gonna take a walk on my 12 acres & dig me up some saplings to plant close to home.
Happy Mothers Day! Thanks for the fun video and tour!
ONE GOOD DAYS WORK I JUST LOVE PLANTINGS 🌳 🌲 🌴 🌳 🌲
MARGARET LYNCH SOUTHERN IRELAND LOVE ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️
A day in your life is great! Love all the little trees! Happy Mothers a day Rachel!
Such a great video! I struggle with planting perennials, not knowing where they should go. I love that you dig them up and move/divide them up, all over the property. I never realized it was just that easy to move perennials.
Rachel what a precious long haired Doxie 🐾… we have two Black and Tan… spoiled rotten…. Have a blessed day friend 💐
Happy Mother’s Day Rachael!!
The purple flower is lobelia, I believe?
I enjoy the vlog style videos. :) Happy mother's day Rachel , from my family to yours.
I love that you are planting trees. This makes me happy ❤
Beautiful Mother’s Day Video! Loved seeing all the tree planting! A lot which are native here in our Northwest! Beautiful flowers! So fun to buy flowers in the spring and to see the trees growing so elegantly! This reminds me of planting trees with my dad! Happy Mother’s Day!
It's always nice to see what you do around the homestead.
We live Ontario Canada and we’re hadn’t much rain at all this this week .So lots of watering gardens etc.
I love this content too.....a day in your life... ❤
Happy Mother’s Day …. Happiest of Mothers Day
Love these homestead upkeep videos! Shows the hard work you put in for your beautiful property!
The small skinny firs are Alpine fir, they are used a lot around the Central North Washington landscape.
I love seeing you planting trees flowers and vegetables
I love these type of videos ❤ Happy mothers day Rachel 🌻🌼🐝
Happy Mothers Day Rachel! Nice to see someone else loves trees as much as us! I wonder if those clay shards were from very old drainage tile? If found similar looking shards here.
That white and green ground cover looks like Lamium, also known as dead nettle.
Should get pretty little blooms soon.

Just day to day life. GREAT video. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
Happy Mother's day Rachel!! 💐 Love what you bought and where you put them. Looks beautiful!
Happy Mother's Day, Rachel ❤love these kinds of videos 🙏🏽
I just love Parran’s! Whenever I’m there I wonder if I’ll happen upon you two. 🥰
I enjoy ALL of your vlogs!!! Don't worry about us!!! God Bless!!!
Pine trees need LOTS of water! The more water the bigger they get. We have many pines on our property and it’s AMAZING how big they have gotten 🥳🥳🩷
LOVE the video !! More please😁😁😁
Boy have I missed you guys been taking a break & trying to get things done, haven't really accomplished much. I hope you had an awesome mother's day Rachel. Well time to catch up on your videos, guess I've only missed 2.
I really like the trees🌲 that you two bought and planted on your property.
LOVE the vlogs showing all the things you guys are doing! Happy Mother's Day, Rach! 🤗👑💐🥂🍰💗
Thankyou for the info about the walnut tree toxin, I have a tree on my neighbour's fenceline and all my blueberries are dying, looked it up and they are a sensitive plant to this toxin. I will dig up and relocate with the hope they will come good in another location. Without watching this video, I may never have been made aware so thankyou so much. Greetings from Oz.
Love watching and you planting all the trees. I loved seeing your Shrimp Plant. I got my mom one for Mother's Day because my MawMaw used to raise them in Southwest Louisiana. They were her favorite. Happy Mothers Day to you.
Love the videos of you improving your property and the cabin visits. You inspired me to get three green stalks for my porches.
Love this kind of video's! Wish you let us see the old pictures of the house and land. Love you bringing in new trees ❤
Love, Love, your porch and potted plants. Great idea to use plant that you already have in other parts of your gardens and use them in planters. Great tips, thank you.
Happy Mother’s Day.
I went to master gardener class years ago and I remember the recommendation is to drill a few holes about 1 inch from the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket and to water new trees 1x a week (esp during growing season like spring - fall) by this slow watering for the 1st 2-3 years to establish. When I did do this to the blue sprue along our driveway 35 yrs ago ( they were about 10 inches tall) drove by there last year when we were in the area they are about 30 feet tall and almost a solid hedge width look gorgeous! It was alot of work but my hubby used to fill up the tractor with the buckets ( like your were in this video) and I walked along placing next to the tree so worth it!
Love watching your day to day! Especially since we're eyeing a possible move to Michigan. Just love these 'regular ol'videos'.
I like hanging with you guys. These kind of videos are fun
Happy Mothers Day!
Just enjoy catching up and yes, life vlogs are enjoyable.
Loved this one! What BEAUTIFUL property you guys have. Happy mothers' day, 💐
Happy Mother’s Day Rachel.
We had a white pine my family planted in front of a house that over time and with new owner’s got huge!
I enjoy the videos where you are pottering about in the garden 🏡 I do a lot of that too and love to see other people's gardens
Loving it all what y’all doing, it’s something new and I love 💕 it
I like the ...what ever we are doing today...take me along..
The brown ceramic could also be drainage pipe that they used to use.
I love this kind of video, I learned a lot from You guys. Keep up the good work.
Lemon verbena best tea ever!!!
