    Hey there. I thought of a job for Mr Brown. He could organize all the shoes on the porch everyday to make sure pairs are together and hopefully keep up with his shoes and sweep the porch for mom.

    What a family, it's a tribute to you and your wife as well as your extended family to how your children step up and take care of business without being asked or nagged. Rebecca is super, Justin your very lucky to have her in your life. Heal quickly and you all have a great week.

    Justin you have trained up your children well. They know how to do so many of the chores and taking care of the animals etc. and helping Mom with her chores also...y'all are such a well rounded family. Any one of you can fill a gap and that is so important in life no matter if it is outside work, inside work, office work...we all need those back up people that know the routine as well as you. I hope you get well quick with after effects. Have a Blessed day all of you.

Sometimes God makes us take a break even when it isn't convenient and with family, things still get done! Feel better and hopefully no doctor visit was needed today. I guess we will know on tomorrow's episode! BTW, I know I am not the only one who would sit through a weekly extra-long vlog since you have such great content!

  • @marissa1168
    @marissa1168 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    While your tribe is always a paragon of family virtues, seeing yall buck up in the face of injury is uniquely inspiring. I can't name many families off the top of my head where a pair of young boys are given such responsibility and respect. Can't imagine anything else that would give young ones the confidence that they CAN make a difference, that they ARE valued, that they have something important to offer. Inspirational to say the least. An interesting stroke that God saw fit to lay Justin down on such an important day to him after Boots has passed. Maybe an injury to the eye is the Lord's way to show us all what we really need to see. Interesting video, great content! Thank you!!! Thank you Beautiful One for your hard work getting Justin up and running, and thank you for YOUR hard work ensuring the farm stays up and running.
    P.S. Also I LOVE Rachel's part in this, really strikes a chord with this farm-ignorant, farm-wistful city-slicker. (Not to say that SHE is those things, just a nice perspective from someone on the outskirts but in-the-know when it comes to what yall do on a daily basis.)

  • @donyarborough4561
    @donyarborough4561 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hang in there. It takes time for eye trouble. I got a piece of metal in my dominate right eye one time and had to go to an eye surgeon to cut it out and had to wear a patch for a week. That was really tough. I had no depth perception.
    Aunt Rachel did great work with the filming and helping Rebecca with the chores. I’m thinking you’re gonna have to hire her and I agree with her Handsome would be a great name for the new calf.
    Hope you get some rest and your eye gets better and don’t worry about the farm it looks like the the women are having fun with the chores. Lily can show them how to milk.

    So sorry to hear! I just got into Fletcher/Asheville area today to visit in-laws for the holidays. I have been a long-time subscriber and would love to bring my 4 y/o daughter by to help in whatever way we can. Unfortunately, my wife is sick with flu while we are here, so getting out would be good for everyone. If there are chores to do or something that needs another Justin (my name too), please contact me or let me know how to get in touch.

    Sorry to hear about Justin's eye. I wear either clear or yellow safety glasses all the time when I'm working on our place. They have saved my eyes several times. I also wear safety glasses when working under the car doing mechanical work to keep dirt and gunk from falling into them. Getting injured is a big concern on the homestead and has a huge ripple effect. Hope he gets better soon.

    I would still go and check that eye when you can, don't wait too long.
    A scrach could heal verry quick in a eye but it could also invites bacteria and you end up with a bacteria infection in your eye..
    Luckly its on a white part not the coloured part than you should see a doctor asap.
    When its on the coloured part you could lose part of your vision.
    Been there done that 😅

Also Lilly is quite the little milk maid. You guys all working together shows what life is like when things don't go as planned. Thanks for sharing that with us. New calf is adorable too by the way.
