    Love to see folks carrying on the traditional ways. Thanks Justro!

    Howdy Brother- man, that was an interesting video! Glad that feller is going to keep the family tradition going. Too many younger people just don’t have any interest in keeping the old skills and traditions alive. I’m thankful you are doing what you do with the mills and good, clean country living. We need more like you. God’s blessings to you and your girls

      Howdy my brother, glad you enjoyed it. It is an encouragement to a lot of us.
      I humbly thank you and know I appreciate all that you do to share and help keep
      things alive. Appreciate you. God bless you all as well

    Hey, good stuff. We run a water powered grist mill occasionally. Nothing like old machinery getting the job done.

    I live in northern Indiana today and am a transplant from Grundy Virginia . At one time we had nothing but red fox squirrels but north of us in Michigan were nothing but black squirrels and they started to move south into Indiana and crossbreed with our reds and over just a few years almost all of our squirrels have started to turn gray . At this time red or black squirrels are a lot harder to find here .

    Good to see you! I think it’s safe to say you made that fellas day by looking over his mill!! I hope his cornmeal and grits turned out even better than he’d hoped!!
    Very interesting about the squirrels. The loss of pigment in spots on animals but not the eyes is sometimes called a leucistic trait or gene . It is often bred for in some species in the pet trade. Looks like nature decided that area just needed some fancy squirrels on its own! Thanks for sharing with us and I hope y’all have a great weekend! 😊

    Will you do a video about growing thing's by the moon and the signs, i know a little about it, but them video's you did were really interesting. On that other comment i made, it's a channel here, and there's a website with a pdf library that is something people need to know, but i have a hard time even getting the name of it in my comment without it vanishing. The dates are so perfect, and i think if you check it out, you will see it's in the great book and it unlocks so much. Much love to y'all.

      If you check out that channel, can you let me know what you think, just a yes or no is good. I read that other book they talk about 14 year's ago, and then i feel like i was led to spread the awareness of it because i had prayed about it, and now it's like something i feel i have to share.

      @@metcalfmills5679 sounds great. It wasn’t meant as a bad thing, just a question. Sometimes dreams change and we adapt, reroute, and move forward. I’ve learned as I’m getting older that life and dreams change sometimes as we age, go thru different seasons, and stages in our lives. I will stay tuned and hope this dream comes to fruition for you and the many who will benefit from it. God’s blessings to you and your family. Almost seed starting time here in AL. 👩‍🌾💚🪴👍
