It is amazing how the horses are like children; when Mom is sick and they try all the mischief they can find. I have to admit ; I had to chuckle. I know this is one of those tough times, but Jim is seeing the blessings too. I am praying for helpers for you Brenda; and for the grace for Jim to accept the help. It so often happens that we are the first to help others, as I know Jim does, but we can not put aside our vulnerability to receive the richness of what that others bring us. Quiet down and receive all of God's healing - body, soul, and spirit.
That was like wrangling a bunch of toddlers at bedtime! Glad to hear that you are not in much pain but the frustration of not being able to work like you are used to doing is hard. Brenda is such a big help. Not sure there isn't much she can't do! Both of you take care and God bless!
I can't imagine they'd leave that grass, so that's a blessing. At least they stayed in the yard. We just had cows escape and head down the road. That was an ordeal. I was herding cattle on foot, in subzero temps, in my PAJAMAS!😂 The cops had to come and shut down the road...
Those little imps! Those horses know something is very different. I think they can sense you are injured, Jim. Brenda is doing a great job with all the horses. 😊
You two work so hard! Hope Jim continues to heal; I was cringing with all the things he was doing but I know the chores won’t do themselves. Those horses were acting like naughty children 😂 Take care ❤
Don't know how horses know but they certainly have excellent instincts about when to get away with things ordinarily they wouldn't do, but good to hear that your prognosis is good .!😊 ❤ 😊
Don't forget that when you are the patient, you need to be patient! I know that it is a hard thing for humans to do sometimes, but a reminder is always helpful. I wish you a steady healing of your scapula!
Thank you Brenda and Jim for your update, prayers continue for your healing. It was funny how the horses didn’t want to listen to you Jim they wanted to try your patience’s. Prayers and blessings for the weekend chores.🙏🙏🏻
I admit laughing a little at the horses behavior but then feeling bad that I laughed! If I was in y’all’s shoes the humor would not be obvious at all I’m sure. Rest and heal…both of you.
You guys did pretty darned good with that impromptu frisky horse round-up!!! I hope Jim’s recovery is healthy and quick... Keeping you both in my Prayers, 😇 🙏🏻
I replaced a broken fence post once by putting a post in a 5 gal bucket and filling around it with road sand and water. Worked great. Hope your healing goes well
Jim & Brenda It’s so good to hear you don’t need to have surgery. The horses are being little stinkers, they sense you are injured and can’t do a lot with them right now. There acting just like kids would. Be safe around the horses and the farm. Brenda you are a so gracious and humble, Jim is so lucky to have you as his wife.
Hey guys. Greetings from Claire and Luthor in Belleville, Ontario. We were sorry to see that Jim got hurt, but these things happen. He is lucky that it wasn't worse. We know that he can rely on Brenda to take care of things as he recovers. W e're going to keep watching and liking whatever videos you manage to post. We finally got the calendar. It was held up by the Canadian postal strike. It was worth the wait.
yup. They can tell something is wrong. You 2 work so well together and that is a world of help. Fast recovery wishes for you Jim. Again, Gods blessings to you both. Friends are always in my prayers.
Happy to see you and Brenda.Glad to hear the good report from the doctor. God turned your situation for good., you got extra work. 🙂I love the horses and they are being just a little naughty. 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎
Glad to hear that JIM is healing. Hopefully he can get back to full power in a while. Will keep saying prayers that God will heal his body. You guys are a wonderful couple and you seem like just a part of our extended family. 😊
Those horses know something's up with you and they're taking full advantage of you. How do horses grin and show their sense of humour? Glad your not more busted up and Brenda is fantastically helpful. I've always admired he camera work. Thank goodness she's so fit chasing Jim & the teams over hither, thither and yon!
Hello Jim and Brenda it is so funny how horses sence there is something wrong with Jim so they tried to get get away with all kind of mischiff sorry for the spelling have a good day guys
So glad Jim that you didn't need surgery. God will bless you with wonderful family and friends to help you. Bless you and Brenda for you are both loved by your viewers. I will understand if you post 2 videos a week untill Jim is completely healed. I'm glad the girls are closer to you both to help out. God bless the Gordon Family 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️🐕
Steady as you go Jim, a slow start will allow you a quick recovery time! Is understandable that you want to get going but you must let Debby carry the main lift until you are once again back to full strength.
Have been thinking about you today Jim, so glad that the damage is not as bad as thought. Praying for you both as you deal with some changes, I am sure the horses know that something different is going on.
I'm so glad to hear you got good news from the doctor! Looks as though it was the dog that spooked Earl -- Skippy came running right at him as he was cantering towards the barn and made him turn on his heels and head back the way he'd come. I bet you were both frustrated with how silly the horses were acting about coming into the barn, but it was definitely entertaining to watch! :D
Well, bless your hearts, when it rains it pours. Yes, critters will always find a weak spot. Great news on your shoulder Jim. You and Miss Brenda are in my thoughts and prayers. Do as the doctor orders and you'll heal quickly. Take care of each other.
Praying for your speedy recovery, Jim. Horses seem to know when something is wrong. That is why they become difficult - their routine has changed. You are fortunate to have such a wonderful wife and family. And friends. Hang in there. You are a good man.
My favorite thing to do in every video is to spot the chickens. They give me a little chuckle every time I see them. Glad to hear Jim is doing all right. I hope things heal up quick
I,m glad Jim had good news. Nice to see him out helping with things and best of all don,t have alot of pain from the broken bone in the shoulder area. Guess it will take a month or so to heal up. Lovely horses you got there.Rest as much as possible Jim and take care.
Its best in the long run the children leave home....and live a long distance away from home ! Its best for everyone . Each learns to depend on neighbors and friends to help and live their own lives.
Hope you can get some part time help. You will not heal if you over do. I had two bad farm accidents. Family really helped my wife and I .Best wishes to you !! DO NOT OVER DO !! Thanks 😢
Sorry for your accident Jim I watch your show religious ly . I'm 82 and I know what you are going through I've been handicapped for 20 years now and you really have to watch every step you take so you don't fall ! I always wondered about you logging by your self accidents do happen . I know you really can't wait to get back to doing your thing and you will it takes time . Jim stay safe and Brenda is there thank God to help you .
Mr. feed bucket always helps get the runaways back in the barn. A younger Jim could jump right back into the mix but today's Jim needs to take it slow & easy so the injury can heal. Slow & easy Jim, just like you would want your horses to do.
Sorry Jim that you are having to go through this. You and Brenda are in our prayers 🙏 ❤️ Take care of yourself and listen to Brenda 😊 ❤️🫶❤️ Eastern NC 🇺🇲
So, so sorry about your injury. Thankful that it wasn’t worse. The tree could of broken your back or neck. Prayers for fast healing. Take it easy and let your body heal. We will call it “ chores with Brenda”. Bless you Brenda and be mindful of your leg.
I always carried a few alfalfa brickets (horse crunch) in my pocket. Whenever the hoses saw me they would come running. I never had to chase after them. When visitors would come I'd step into the pasture and whistle. The horses would look up, see, and come rite to me. My guests thot I was a skilled horse trainer, but it all worked on the horses' love of these treats.
Yes, I always wondered why people said they would have to 'catch' their horses, treats and a reward (like a little bit of oats)when they are back in the barn make them come willingly to me.
Winter makes your situation even more difficult... Good that you have your girls and good neighbors to lend a hand...but that is what is good about rural communities... Always willing to help
Dear Brenda and Jim. Y'all have no idea how much we appreciate all of your videos and sharing your lives on videos. Your horses are amazing. Animals are very smart and they know something is wrong. I'm sure that is why they're not listening as usual. They are probably very concerned about Jim as we all are. Y'all are in my thoughts and prayers. Just take it easy, and let your body heal. God bless you both.
I think Skippy was trying to help herd Duke into the barn, but he kind of over did it and spooked him instead. He shows promise herding animals he just needs to hone his skills. Jim I'm so glad you don't need surgery! And was I surprised when I saw a video was out. Thank You both! It was an interesting video indeed, Baron and Duke the bad boys escaping! I'm so glad they didn't get out on the road! Yes animals can be a lot like children they'll take advantage of any change in their routine. 😊
Dear Brenda and Jim, we wish Jim a speedy recovery. Dale, my husband, has been a logger for over 40 years and knows what it is like to be hurt. Brenda you are awesome, a real rock. We have been watching your channel for over 5 years. All the best from Nova Scotia. Much love Sandra & Dale❤❤
Thank you for the efforts to update us! And I LOVE my calendar; super pics of all my Working Horses friends! so glad you have help. Blessings to you both!
We all love Jim and Brenda when they post a video just makes my day better !!! ❤❤❤❤glad Jim is doing better…Brenda is wonderful she’s there to help you through anything, she is such a blessing to have her as your wife and helper..
I hope you will continue to produce videos as you go through this process if y'all making the the necessary adjustments in your approach to your daily life under the circumstances you know have to deal with...I feel it would be both educational and interesting and perhaps shed light on just what it takes should others find themselves in similar circumstances
26:19 praying for a speedy recovery for your arm. Jim, but be careful don’t make it worse than it is listen to your wife. Listen to your doctor. She will do what she can what she can’t doesn’t really matter she can do the important stuff maybe your daughters will come up and exercise the horses, but you take care of your arm. Take care of yourself.
Skippys too cool, haha . Keeps Brenda entertained. Lol ❤ 👍🇨🇦
The horses know Jim is out of commision!
Totally agree. I’m sure the horses can sense it.
i’am so glad other people have a little chaos once in a while with their horses also,
it makes for interesting days 🤔
It is amazing how the horses are like children; when Mom is sick and they try all the mischief they can find. I have to admit ; I had to chuckle. I know this is one of those tough times, but Jim is seeing the blessings too. I am praying for helpers for you Brenda; and for the grace for Jim to accept the help. It so often happens that we are the first to help others, as I know Jim does, but we can not put aside our vulnerability to receive the richness of what that others bring us. Quiet down and receive all of God's healing - body, soul, and spirit.
Well said 🙏❤️
Amen, good words!
Tough to be a one-armed farmer! Hope you heal quickly Jim, because those horses KNOW you aren’t up to parr.
I think the horses are trying to say that if there is no work, out is the place to be, unless the weather closes in.
Well, that was like herding cats! :) Feel better quickly, Jim, and Brenda, keep up your strength. You are the best partner Jim could have!
You're right about that, however it looked like the cats were behaving way better than the horses LOL.
That was like wrangling a bunch of toddlers at bedtime! Glad to hear that you are not in much pain but the frustration of not being able to work like you are used to doing is hard. Brenda is such a big help. Not sure there isn't much she can't do! Both of you take care and God bless!
Those horses know something is up with you Jim. They are testing you. Hopefully they will get better for you. Don't slip and fall 😨❤❤❤
When I see Jim struggling it makes me wish I could be there to help him!
I sure appreciate you putting out videos under these circumstances you two are the best
I can't imagine they'd leave that grass, so that's a blessing. At least they stayed in the yard. We just had cows escape and head down the road. That was an ordeal. I was herding cattle on foot, in subzero temps, in my PAJAMAS!😂 The cops had to come and shut down the road...
Been there,done that in my pajamas. I had to use the belt of my robe as a lead rope.
Those little imps! Those horses know something is very different. I think they can sense you are injured, Jim. Brenda is doing a great job with all the horses. 😊
What a great couple you are. We admire you so much. Our wishes for a speedy recovery, but take things steady.
They can sense when you of your game that's quite clear.
Absolutely
You OF your game?
How about you HAVE your game? Or you OFF your game?😉
Jim the horses since the state your in and they are saying What are u going to do about it🙈! Brenda you be carful how you do chores don’t get hurt!👍
You two work so hard! Hope Jim continues to heal; I was cringing with all the things he was doing but I know the chores won’t do themselves. Those horses were acting like naughty children 😂
Take care ❤
Don't know how horses know but they certainly have excellent instincts about when to get away with things ordinarily they wouldn't do, but good to hear that your prognosis is good .!😊 ❤ 😊
Horses are feeling fresh! Don't over do it!
Glad youre daughters live nearby, Brenda can help you and they can help their mother! ❤
amen to Jim's Brother
Don't forget that when you are the patient, you need to be patient! I know that it is a hard thing for humans to do sometimes, but a reminder is always helpful. I wish you a steady healing of your scapula!
Thank you Brenda and Jim for your update, prayers continue for your healing. It was funny how the horses didn’t want to listen to you Jim they wanted to try your patience’s. Prayers and blessings for the weekend chores.🙏🙏🏻
I admit laughing a little at the horses behavior but then feeling bad that I laughed! If I was in y’all’s shoes the humor would not be obvious at all I’m sure. Rest and heal…both of you.
You guys did pretty darned good with that impromptu frisky horse round-up!!!
I hope Jim’s recovery is healthy and quick...
Keeping you both in my Prayers,
😇
🙏🏻
Like kids with a substitute teacher! Glad the shoulder break is about as good as it can be. Just be careful not to overdo it. Brenda, hang in there!
Glad to hear the prognosis was better than you thought the other day! Hope you all have a fantastic week!
Glad you got good news. Prayers for fast healing.
I replaced a broken fence post once by putting a post in a 5 gal bucket and filling around it with road sand and water. Worked great. Hope your healing goes well
Get well soon love the horses and videos
Jim & Brenda
It’s so good to hear you don’t need to have surgery.
The horses are being little stinkers, they sense you are injured and can’t do a lot with them right now. There acting just like kids would.
Be safe around the horses and the farm.
Brenda you are a so gracious and humble, Jim is so lucky to have you as his wife.
Great news about your shoulder. You don’t need surgery. Prayers for your family and recovery ❤️🩹

Jim, be patient with Brenda,, she's a helper..and be patient with yourself or you'll delay your recovery..you don't want that..stay safe-both of you

Glad to hear that Jim does not have to have surgery that makes healing easier
Bonjour à vous deux et toute la famille.. bon rétablissement mon ami et prends soin de toi ❤❤
Mr. feed bucket always helps get the runaways back in the barn. A younger Jim could jump right back into the mix but today's Jim needs to take it slow & easy so the injury can heal. Slow & easy Jim, just like you would want your horses to do.
Horses know when yer not 100% and they're ornery enough to try you. I hope you keep improving Jim. We're all rooting for you.
I agree…was thinking the same thing…they know that Jim is not his usual self…
Smell weakness.....
Sorry Jim that you are having to go through this. You and Brenda are in our prayers 🙏 ❤️
Take care of yourself and listen to Brenda 😊
❤️🫶❤️ Eastern NC 🇺🇲
So, so sorry about your injury. Thankful that it wasn’t worse. The tree could of broken your back or neck. Prayers for fast healing. Take it easy and let your body heal. We will call it “ chores with Brenda”. Bless you Brenda and be mindful of your leg.

Love and enjoy your videos. May the lord bless and protect you and Brenda and the horses. Jim you must listen to the doctor.
Take care Jim, wishing for a quick recovery to your Scapular, and Brenda is a godsend to step in and carry the load until you are able to again.
Glad to hear the good report. Will keep you in my prayers.
Wish I lived closer to you to help out fellow horse loggers Jim Great job Brenda and also becarefull
Sorry to see you had an injury, Jim. I hope you can heal up fast !! (Take your vitamins, ha ha)

Get well soon Jim. I think the horses know that you are not at your best and they taking advantage of the situation.😮
Don't worry about the quality of the videos. It's so great to see you up and around. Still praying for y'all. God bless!!!
Winter makes your situation even more difficult... Good that you have your girls and good neighbors to lend a hand...but that is what is good about rural communities... Always willing to help
LOl Like the first day of kinder garden after Christmas break.
Good to see you are healing well so far. Horses do know when there is some thing different going on. Thoughts and prayers. Excellent helper you have.!
Jim,don’t worry,GOD and Brenda will take good care of you.

Good they are so well trained, otherwise they might have ran to far side of fields. Good news today. Continued healing prayers Jim.
my thought is it might be Duke,,always pawing the metal gate,,steps on the wire fence,,and the boys know what to do...😊
