Good Morning Al and family. We just fill a 5 gallon bucket halfway with water, put enough black sunflower seeds to cover the top of the water and put a stick hovering over the seeds for the mouse to crawl up. The sunflower seeds looks like a solid surface, so the mouse will get in and can't get out. I'm not sure if you have already done that. I am catching up on old vlogs. I'm so glad your leg is okay. I'm not a mean person, but I couldn't stop laughing at how nonchalant you were. But, back to work, things to do, no time to rest. We love your family and hope to one day be as self sufficient as your family is.
Good Morning from Coastal Ms. 76 this morning and humid. We've gotten lucky so far and the hurricane should go west of us. Please pray for anyone in it's path . This has been a very rough season for those of us on the Gulf Coast.
shiela taylor Good Morning. I’m not far from you...near Poplarville, MS. I’m praying Delta does what I think it’s going to do and that is weaken as soon as it reaches our cooler temps. Stay safe neighbor.
We live about 250 miles from the coast in Readhimer, Louisiana and we got hit by Laura. Trees down, no electricity for a week, lost lots of fpod. Dreading this weekend so bad. These things terrify me.
Mornin Al. Happy to hear your leg is healing. You have done so well raising your food. I believe you have done so much better in 2020 than many others. Blessings on your family.
Good morning Al , Gina and Olivia, greetings from Ireland. Glad to hear you are able to take a day off, excited to hear your news next week, you gave an excited grin when you talk about it!
I have been with ya'll for so so so long and I still can say how wonderful ya'll are we so love ya'll your family should be on a billboard all over the world to show people how to love everyone again stay awesome family thank you for being amazing parents thumbs up my friends
Don't think anything you share with us is boring. Could watch whatever you all do all day. That butcher block table was beautiful. You did such a good job. Gina, muffins and chocolate chip cookies turned out yummy. Can't wait to see what happens next. God bless you all.
It is great news your nail would is healing! Gina's Escort of chickens to the goat barn was a Sweet snapshot! AL doing the Lumnah two step as you packed the gravel with your feet in front of the greenhouse , Gina's Chocolate chip cookie obsession confession, Olivia's Fall Crunchy leaves walk to collect eggs and love on the goats, The fall landscape, This was a gorgeous Video. Thank you for sharing!
Good Morning to Lumnah's and Friends of the channel, I look forward to all comments posted daily. The scenery was so beautiful with the leaves on the driveway. Sad the pigs are going but i understand. Figaro on the fence post always cracks me up. That apple picker is the best i am going to look that up for our tree, made my first apple pie with the apples from our tree and it will bless our table on Thanksgiving. Take care everyone and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
@@donnadunlop I stand corrected. Went back to the segment and they are a bunch of spoiled apples. They are the same color of the green walnut husks. Nevertheless, my brother uses it on walnuts.
Al what 2020 had in store for me was learning how to raise chickens. I've always hardened and as a chef I've always wanted fresh meat. I've successfully raised 500lbs of chicken and had to buy a new freezer just for them. Thanks for your channel it helped tremendously
It was funny to see Olivia walking in the same skinny path that the goats use!! Seems like a good fall, rainy day to have some stew or hearty soup! When you drop an egg, pour salt on it and it will dry it up and you can clean it up without the too! Happy harvest and God Bless!
With all the craziness going on in the world today... watching Lumnah Acres do prep work for tomorrows chores has a very calming effect on the soul. We love you Lumnah family and friends!
I’m tired.... just reading the title! Lol Those leaves are stunning!!!! I’m don’t do cold weather. I’m a southern girl all the way. Besides being older cold hurts now. But I do love the way the leaves change. Such a beautiful way God has of transforming nature.
Gina, those muffins and cookies looked so tasty! I love watching the cooking segments just as much as the animals and growing of crops. Looking forward to seeing what you do with all the pork you'll have now too! Your homestead is looking stunning with all the leaves falling, all those gorgeous colours. So many of the trees in South East of the UK are still in green leaf, very slowing changing colour now. Been very wet and windy here the past week.
I"m with you...look forward to Gina cooking/baking segments. I also enjoy the morning routine of feeding the animals. Only wish Al would give the chickens more feed and/or split it into two areas.
Same here SW though the storms about 2 weeks ago brought down my Crab Apple tree and my neighbour's Quince tree. We live on the North Norfolk Coast ...keep safe in the South East of the UK .
I watch each and every one of your episodes I wake up every morning first thing I do is check Facebook for a new episode I would love to see you get a milking cow as an addition to all your other animals and even though I don’t have the room for Figaro I would love to adopt him LOL love the cat he’s got a great personality
Morning Lumnahs! I loved your little dance stomping the gravel at the greenhouse! You are a workhorse. I bet winter drives you crazy when you can’t get out & work as much. Keep up the great work & videos. Blessings, Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇨🇱🇺🇸👍❤️😄🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Good morning y'all! Glad your leg is ok! And I agree I like this fall weather here in Tx. The mornings are wonderful but afternoon is still a little warm but I'll take it any day over 105+ that we have in the summer.
Good morning for Cleveland, Ohio! Cant wait to see what your next project is and what animals will be going in those stalls! We are building a chicken coop and run here in the city this weekend. We are building 3 more raised beds for next year and hopefully a small greenhouse all before winter so I can start my own seeds in the spring. Building our own little homestead here in the city.
Niki Weldon ~ Weed 'Em and Reap (where Hope was born) has a homestead in the city. They're in Arizona -- a far cry from Ohio -- but they have lots of good ideas and information. If you don't already watch them, they'd be a great channel to subscribe to. (Things like collars for roosters that keep them from crowing so loudly out of respect for their neighbors.)
Gina, I can see that your confidence in doing your cooking segments is growing. Just smile a bit more, please. Somedays you look a bit bewildered. You are a wonderful role model for your daughter and you and Al compliment each other with working together on your farm, as it should be.
LOL! Figaro sitting on the post like a gargoyle .. Those chickens like to keep egg hunting interesting for ya ;) LOL...Gina, you have the soul of cookie monster, just like me ;) . The cookies yummy!
Gina's cooking corner: basically where I get half of my dinner recipes. For me, the hardest part of making dinner is figuring out what to make. Thank you for always making it easier for me. Your recipes are awesome.
I think he might do a fencing project but to take it over on the other side of the Creek as he always talked about someday he wanted to make a pasture on the other side but had to put a bridge in. Or they are going to put a B@B in up by the house, possibly put a 3 car garage with living quarters up above and rent it out as a Bed and Breakfast. It would sure bug me keeping my vehicles outside in the climates.
I too have a mouse and chipmunk problem in our barn and they keep stealing the ducks food. I need some barn cats quick. Good thing my ultimate duck house is almost complete so the ducks can move into their new digs... hopefully I built it rodent proof lol.
Good Morning from Artesia NM. I really miss being up in NH with those crisp morning but I don’t miss shoveling all that snow that’s for sure. I love the fact that you’re harvesting your own meats.
Hi Al! A really good way to seal your wood countertops id to use a mix of melted bees wax with mineral oil. Let the wax cool and use it as a rub. The oil will soak in, and the bees wax will seal the grain. You’ll love the results!
My husband and I both retired on December 6, 2020. Our plan for 2020 was to get our home ready to sell so we can get out of the Arizona heat. Our plans have been somewhat derailed when our son in law was deployed out of Fort Bragg, NC to the Middle East. Our daughter moved back in with us so we could help her with their son. I want to buy property so that we can grow some of our food and raise some animals. The COVID Crisis didn’t help either. Here’s hoping 2021 will be better and we can make our plans happen!
Wishing your family especially your son all the best. My son was stationed at Ft Bliss and has done his time over seas finished his commitment and returned home to Arizona. We are looking to escape these awful summers but by moving to northern AZ. All the best wishes to you and good on you for being flexible and taking care of your own.
@@KRT045 Flagstaff real estate prices are out of this world. Payson, which is close, would be nice but still a bit hot and unless you buy in one of the gated communities it can be a bit sketchy. Show Low is too far from the valley for us to come see our grandchildren. Prescott has gotten so populated that I’m not interested in moving there. We don’t know where we’ll end up. I was raised in Northern California and that’s my pic but the political climate isn’t very appealing. What to do?
If your incline into the greenhouse gets ice, sprinkle some of your wood ash on it. It works fantastic! Doesn't kill surrounding plants and it gives great traction. Plus, bonus is, you have a use for some of the ash😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Morning to all from Colorado! snow coming again on Sunday, but till then the leaves are lovely! Glad Al you are doing well after your accident. I hope the new project is getting a Jersey cow.
You're Kinda running with the nail gun accident, so keep in mind, farmers get hurt quite often so start picking up your messes as you make them, less chance of injury. When scooping cookie dough, keep a container of water to dip your scoop in from time to time. It makes scooping much faster and easier and saves time. Dip your scoop in the water, shake off the excess and scoop away. Nice job on the dough.
Good morning! Looks like one of your next projects will be an addition to the outdoor kitchen for storage of harvesting materials and gardening supplies!
🌞Good Morning!!☕️ The cookies look fabulous!🍪 I learned to pour table salt on spilled eggs. It will soak up the moisture allowing you to just sweep them up.
What a batch of muffins and cookies! They look amazing! I'm glad your injury is not causing you any problems. I hope the pig harvest went smoothly. You treat your livestock with such care and respect. Blessings to all.
We are building our new house now, and we use metal bands to hinder the mice in entering our house. There are mouse bands, mouse brushes and plates with tiny holes, and other things such that you could mouse proof your milking room with whatever suits best. With such a tiny room, all you have to do is making sure there are no openings wider than the width of a pencil...
If you put a hitch on the front of the Earth mule you will be able to back that very well I know I have the exact mule you have and the trailer I almost identical and it works very easy if it's hooked under the front of your ATV they do come with them you can order him to aftermarket AP leap parts James T North Carolina big fan
Quick tip for cleaning up flour. Always use cold water on the cloth when you wipe it up. Warm water will make it sticky and take more effort to clean it up! :)
Gina looks like she's herding chickens as she walks down to the goat milking station, lol. And I really love how Willow (is that the mom?) and Nora always look like goat + mini-me, even facing the same direction, whenever you check on the goats in their stall. I have a couple of questions, well, one question and one suggestion. Can you sprinkle the type of concrete that sets up rapidly on top of the gravel you just spread out so that there is less erosion? And the suggestion: I think making raised flower beds on two or three sides of the pig butchering area would really dress it up for the times it's not being used.
Good morning Al, Gina, and Olivia. I'm so glad it's Thursday and you have a new video out. I just love to see all the animals, and follow you along as you feed them, milk them, collect the eggs, and do whatever else you are doing that day. Love the music you include in the background, too! Those cookies look yummy, Gina.
Dear Al, Thank You for all your hard work. I respect your ability to inspire and educate us. Your channel is a refreshing break from these crazy unprecedented times. Thank you for not being political or judgemental . I wish you and the family nothing but best. Stay well, Sincerely, Robert Lee
I tried baking my own cookies once. Made 9 dozen; thought I would get ahead. But you know you have to taste test a few along the way. By the time I finished baking, I had 3 cookies left. 😒 I'm a cookiholic. 😜
Back away from the cookies ~8^) Sounds like you may need a 24 step program .... I doubt a 12 step one would do. The 1st step would be to send all those cookies to me, where they would be "safe".
My husband and I did the same thing once with date walnut cookies w/lemon and orange zest but in the last dozen I threw in some crazins.They were delicious.I think there were 2 cookies left lol
Lol. Somehow I never even end up with one. My husband and kidlets tell me they’re just protecting me by “taste-testing for poison”. They’re very good at their jobs. 🙄
I first started watching your videos right as you began your outdoor kitchen build, seems like it was just last year! But I was noticing today how the kitchen has weathered; it looks so old now! Wow, especially compared to your barn & garage, lol.
It is definitely baking weather! And, the aroma of the fresh-baked goodies is too much of a temptation. By the way, the broken egg and the flour mess were great! The messes are part of my routine!
2020 has been mostly the same for us..... except maybe supply shortages. But not too big a deal for us because of where we live. We buy in bulk and store a lot of extra goods because I shop once every month or 2 because the store is 2 hours away. We eat wild game, grow our own produce, and we are mostly self sufficient and have been for years. I feel blessed that the good Lord provided this life for us❤️❤️❤️
Sure hope you are going to show the whole pig harvest! I'm hoping to get pigs this next spring and You are one of the best teachers on youtube...I need all the vids I can get!!
Gina, your zucchini muffins and chocolate chip cookies were absolutely beautiful! They looked like something out of my Southern Living Magazine. I could almost smell them.
Gina I laughed with you and the egg incident. I had a similar issue 2 days ago however I was making breakfast and I have a gas stove with grates. I cracked the egg on the counter by the pan and it broke completely on the first try and the egg slid right down over the grate and into the well. One would think it would have cooked but it didn't. I had to turn off the gas and clean everything up. Only the yolk survived to be fried. The White part kept sliding around and ended up in the garbage. The egg only cooked on the grate part. Got it all cleaned up and started again except by this time the bacon and toast was cold. It happens to the best of us. LOL
Yes, food security at the moment is so important! It’s awesome that you guys didn’t just despair and get frustrated but thought it out and did something about it and now u guys r set for food 😃👍
You will be needing an airlock for your greenhouse so you don't lose all your heat. A compost pile inside will help heat without cost then in spring just take it in.
Figaro is so involved. Just wants to be a part of everything. Such a healthy cat. A real beauty.
Love those shots of Figaro & Gina walking down the road with the chickens. Nature is so healing.

Good Morning Al and family. We just fill a 5 gallon bucket halfway with water, put enough black sunflower seeds to cover the top of the water and put a stick hovering over the seeds for the mouse to crawl up.

@@donnadunlop I stand corrected. Went back to the segment and they are a bunch of spoiled apples. They are the same color of the green walnut husks. Nevertheless, my brother uses it on walnuts.
When we use to put trailers like yours in the barn, we would hook the up to the front of the tractor and push them in. It’s a whole lot easier.

Those leaves are stunning!!!! I’m don’t do cold weather. I’m a southern girl all the way. Besides being older cold hurts now. But I do love the way the leaves change. Such a beautiful way God has of transforming nature.
PS how about naming the road to the barn "The Chicken Walk". That shot of Gena walking with the chickens to the milking barn was so cute!
I know I'm being pedantic! but it's *Gina*
Gina, those muffins and cookies looked so tasty! I love watching the cooking segments just as much as the animals and growing of crops. Looking forward to seeing what you do with all the pork you'll have now too! Your homestead is looking stunning with all the leaves falling, all those gorgeous colours.

Milk cow and a steer 😁
Al, next year's project should be putting a deck or porch onto that sliding glass door that leads to a 3ft drop
Keep figaro in the milking parlour overnight
I have discovered when using the bucket to level stone use the next bucket load. The added weight levels it much better in the float position.

Amazing how much you have built! You should be very proud.
Who doesn't like cookies, they looked delicious. Make sure you save some for your helpers .
A lot is involved with preparing for the harvest. All the hard work will pay off when you get to sit down & enjoy it later on.
You're Kinda running with the nail gun accident, so keep in mind, farmers get hurt quite often so start picking up your messes as you make them, less chance of injury.

And the suggestion: I think making raised flower beds on two or three sides of the pig butchering area would really dress it up for the times it's not being used.
Good morning everyone!
Goood morning
Mornin’ from west Texas! Cant wait to hear what your new project is!
Good morning Al, Gina, and Olivia. I'm so glad it's Thursday and you have a new video out. I just love to see all the animals, and follow you along as you feed them, milk them, collect the eggs, and do whatever else you are doing that day. Love the music you include in the background, too! Those cookies look yummy, Gina.
I love all the tools you guys have,both in and outside your home! I need the tool for picking up the apples that Gina was using.
Good morning, you guys! Always plenty to do on the homestead, eh? 👋😃
Goood morning. It seems like there is always something that needs to get done.
I hope pig harvest went well! I bet Gina hides half of the double batch of cookies just for her! 😂 Love what yall are doing guys.
I think it says volumes for the health of your channel when us lot out here in YT land notice and are disappointed when you miss an upload
Dear Al, Thank You for all your hard work. I respect your ability to inspire and educate us. Your channel is a refreshing break from these crazy unprecedented times. Thank you for not being political or judgemental . I wish you and the family nothing but best. Stay well, Sincerely, Robert Lee
I tried baking my own cookies once. Made 9 dozen; thought I would get ahead.
But you know you have to taste test a few along the way.
By the time I finished baking, I had 3 cookies left. 😒
I'm a cookiholic. 😜
Back away from the cookies ~8^) Sounds like you may need a 24 step program .... I doubt a 12 step one would do. The 1st step would be to send all those cookies to me, where they would be "safe".
My husband and I did the same thing once with date walnut cookies w/lemon and orange zest but in the last dozen I threw in some crazins.They were delicious.I think there were 2 cookies left lol
Lol. Somehow I never even end up with one. My husband and kidlets tell me they’re just protecting me by “taste-testing for poison”. They’re very good at their jobs. 🙄
I first started watching your videos right as you began your outdoor kitchen build, seems like it was just last year! But I was noticing today how the kitchen has weathered; it looks so old now! Wow, especially compared to your barn & garage, lol.
It is definitely baking weather! And, the aroma of the fresh-baked goodies is too much of a temptation. By the way, the broken egg and the flour mess were great! The messes are part of my routine!
I wish I could come and just watch. Happy harvest.
Glad you’re feel better Al! Yay! Nothing fell off! 12 eggs! Drat... I guessed wrong lol
Awe how nice! Gina made a Home for the Mice to keep them out of the milking room! I hope you have the camera running when she takes that tarp off!
2020 has been mostly the same for us..... except maybe supply shortages. But not too big a deal for us because of where we live. We buy in bulk and store a lot of extra goods because I shop once every month or 2 because the store is 2 hours away. We eat wild game, grow our own produce, and we are mostly self sufficient and have been for years. I feel blessed that the good Lord provided this life for us❤️❤️❤️
Use Truegrid in front of the greenhouse to make it easier to manage erosion, snow plowing and for esthetics.
Good idea - pricey, but all good things in life are costly, eh?
I have a weakness for chocolate chip cookies, blink, blink...so cute when you did that...!🍪🍪🥛
Sure hope you are going to show the whole pig harvest! I'm hoping to get pigs this next spring and You are one of the best teachers on youtube...I need all the vids I can get!!
Candace Madsen - Check their *Playlists* as they have quite a few previous videos fro previous years.
Gooood morning Lumnah Acres...Top of the morning to yall
Good morning ☀️
Gina, your zucchini muffins and chocolate chip cookies were absolutely beautiful! They looked like something out of my Southern Living Magazine. I could almost smell them.
Gina I laughed with you and the egg incident. I had a similar issue 2 days ago however I was making breakfast and I have a gas stove with grates. I cracked the egg on the counter by the pan and it broke completely on the first try and the egg slid right down over the grate and into the well. One would think it would have cooked but it didn't. I had to turn off the gas and clean everything up. Only the yolk survived to be fried. The White part kept sliding around and ended up in the garbage. The egg only cooked on the grate part. Got it all cleaned up and started again except by this time the bacon and toast was cold. It happens to the best of us. LOL
Good morning 😊
Busy days ahead. Thanks for the video. 👍
Yes, food security at the moment is so important! It’s awesome that you guys didn’t just despair and get frustrated but thought it out and did something about it and now u guys r set for food 😃👍
You will be needing an airlock for your greenhouse so you don't lose all your heat. A compost pile inside will help heat without cost then in spring just take it in.
Last supper for the pigs ..hope they enjoyed it ...well they had a great life.
