Hi kayleen, we have just come back from a burn out break of a few months. We reassessed what our channel should focus on, what we enjoy most, what we are good at and what our viewers want to see. We started out as an off grid/homesteader channel but we are not very good at growing our own food lol. We love this lifestyle, but we really dug deep and considered what unique thing we had to offer that would inspire us to get back into our youtube journey. For us really it's just about living a life we love, happiness, our animals and land. Rob loves to invent and be in his workshop, I love the animals and painting so that is what we are going to focus on in our channel from now on rather than homesteading, although it's a great and popular topic, it's not our strong point. I for one would love to see more of your painting and mostly your passion for your garden and life that goes into your painting. I'm not sure if that's something you want to do but I do know that people love to see other peoples passions. Sorry for your loss, your little ball of fur was obviously a close companion who loved you very much. We have had some losses too and planted 3 mulberry trees and a desert rose in their place. I would plant your favourite thing in Bo Bo's corner, a flower bed or your favourite fruit tree. I'm glad you are back.
@@RunningAmukOffGrid thanks Rob and Nic. Yes it is definitely a good idea to focus on your passion and connect with the viewers of the same. It’s a lot of work not to enjoy it hey!? I do have an art channel I kicked off again this year under my name @kayleenwest but intended to have art as a regular part of this one too. I like to paint from life and want to art journal my garden more and share that. I have created a few paintings of my backyard homestead; the chicken shed when being built, lemon tree branches, various flowers and vegetables. Some featured in some of my videos but it was my intention to create something for each. Perhaps it is time now. I appreciate your suggestions thank you!
I'm so very sorry for your loss💙and understand just how you feel. I'm glad that you're getting back into the garden and look forward to seeing more videos. Bobo was a sweet little guy and thanks for sharing him with us.💙💞💙
@@christasflowersandveggies thank you Christa. I’m glad to be back in the garden. It’s so important to get decent food growing but it might take time not to be triggered. He was a sweetheart 🥰
I feel for you and totally understand that feeling. When we lost Skye it just felt so lonely in the garden, as she was always there by me. And Jessie before. I think your idea of flowers is a lovely one.
@@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus thanks Rachael. It does feel strange after 12 years of 24/7 company. I have a lot more freedom now but miss my baby. I’m going to work on that area today a bit.
hello and my condolences on the loss of your little soul ... I have a 15 yr old poodle that is not well and we are looking for what to do when the time comes.... Yes flowers, bulbs so that there is wave of flowers through summer / winter times... and just a seat for the times that you want to go and remember and have a cuppa or wine :) ... and enjoy the times and memories that you had... keep going lots of thoughts for you xxx
I totally understand your tech issues. I’ve come up to that issue now and I am having to resort putting up low definition videos. If you can keep going do so watching your garden is a pleasure
