@@AnneofAllTrades Thank You! I don't know why your channel popped up on my youtube but I'm glad it did and I'm glad I saw Daniel step out and making that 30- year plan. I have a cousin that is now 100 and he is still getting around so it is not crazy thinking. I love that I'm moving back to East Texas to be around him as long as I can. Keep up the good work.
You couldn't have found a better successor. Sadly, there will likely be many more animals needing rescue available for your new farm. All the best to the both of you.
@@AnneofAllTrades The manner in which you show your concern for the rescues at your former farm forecasts the good life your future companions will enjoy. I'm happy for y'all and look forward to watching your new adventures.
Anne, not only did you pass on the torch but you left it lit real bright for Darrel to get a running start, he'll do very well. Happy for your new journey and fresh start in Tennessee and also Happy for us your audience in this platform that get to fallow and learn from you, Win Win all around.
We are moving back to WA from TX now that I'm retired. We had a dairy goat farm and were planning to take them with us but research says some would suffer from the transition. Not wanting to lose a single one, we gave our entire herd to a close friend who lost their herd from hurricane Harvey. You likely made a good choice.
Sounds like you absolutely made the right choice for your animals and a selfless one at that! If you need help finding new goats in Washington, don't hesitate to let me know, I know lots of folks up there.
I love your drive so much Anne. I've been in love with woodworking, gardening and carpentry since I was a child - I'm about to turn 40 next month. I am closing on my very first home next month and I simply cannot wait to have a garage workspace and a basement. It sounds so silly to some people, but I truly have been waiting for this day my entire life to have this space, so I can relate to you talking about how much further ahead you'd have been if you'd started earlier in life, but I think you're on the right track. I look forward to seeing what you do in the future.
Kind of bittersweet, the leaving the old challenge and the undertaking of a new challenge. Anne, Challenge hasn't got a chance for people like you and Darrel. Look forward to following Darrell as he makes your start his own and watching you do your magic in Tennessee!
I can appreciate his "30-Year Plan." At 61 I am (with my hubby) acquiring about 23 acres of land that has been in his family for well over 100 years. I will be spreading out to build a new hen house, a bigger garden and such. That gives me a better quantity of stored foods and a small shop for my tools (#ladieswithtools). I told my husband, "I'm retired, not dead." How wonderful that you found a family that wants to improve upon and continue your farm's story rather than tear down and redo. It's a Win-Win.
I'm so excited for your next journey! Keeping moving keeps you young. My mentor is 100 this year and still spends 8 hours a day in his shop and keeps a beautiful garden. He's quite a special fellow!
He sure is! He's "tried" to retire three times now, but keeps getting his hands into exciting new business opportunities. So far though, he's been absolutely loving the farm and it's been so fun getting his reports about how everything's been going!!
It's good that both of you are not magnets. Both so positive. You are amazing and so is Darrel. Being 77 years old and having a 30-year-plan is just great. Good luck to both of you.
We are wishing him well as well. Just got off the phone with him actually, and he's having the time of his life. It makes it a whole lot easier to put down full roots here in Nashville knowing our old dreams are in such capable hands!
Sad to hear that you are leaving the gorgeous rescue animals behind.... but to move them all to different conditions in Nashville will be hard... and thank goodness the new owner 'Mr D' is taking them all on... and will continue keeping on what you started. Plus keeping you in the loop of how it is all going too :-) 'Mr D's' grandies will love hanging out on the little farmlet... thanks for letting us all meet 'Mr D' too :-)
Anne, you are an absolutely, amazing person. I know how difficult this must have been for you to let go and chase a new dream. There are so many lessons to be learned from you. It brought tears to my eyes when you said you were leaving so many of your tools. I know you were doing that to ensure the new owner's success. Then I lost it when you said you were going to come back to help him with spring planting. It's been said no one cares how much you know until they know how much you care. You truly are a caring person. I'm happy your prayers have been answered.
Best of luck to Darrel and Penny. I hope you will both be very happy on your new homestead. Aw Anne, you get to visit your furry friends. And they're in great hands by the looks of it . Bittersweet though huh? Aw, hugs to you wee Annie and looking forward to your fresh start with more knowledge under your belt. Will you do anything different this time? Exciting times those fresh starts.
You remind me of the series, Anne with an E. Can do, let’s go, that’s not a problem but a challenge! Congrats to you and Darryl on your new farms! We will miss you in the PNW but will surely follow the new adventures and journey. God speed and blessings to you.
Thanks so much! I loved reading Anne of Green Gables when I was a kid. Haven't had a chance to see the show yet. We will definitely miss the PNW but are also so excited for what's next in TN.
So happy for you. My grandmother's farm was recently up for sale, bank foreclosure. Both my sister and I said only if. As it turns out, a friend of hers knows the people who bought it. They concacted us since they want to know what it was like when it was properly kept. Over the years it's fallen in disrepair. The barn is pretty much lost. But the new owners sound like they really want to do something with the place. I'm hoping to get some of the wood from the barn to make a few things, since it will probably be coming down. Good luck to you.
He's an amazing guy with a wonderful family supporting him, and I'm only a plane ride away if he ever needs help! We both feel like we hit the lottery!!
WOW! I can't imagine how difficult this video must have been for you Annie! Exciting that someone else is taking over and exciting for you to move on to something larger and something that will not only fulfill your dreams but create even more. Good luck in your move and don't forget to take us along with you when you have time! I can't wait to see what you will do next!!
It has to be sooo hard to leave all the goodness behind. I'm happy you found someone like Darrel to pass it on to. You now have a new life in Tennessee to build...I know you'll do great.
Thanks so much! Yes it was hard, but we are definitely excited about what's next for us in the South. We are in a for a wild ride and can't wait to bring ya'll with.
So sad to think/know that this is last video, I’m assuming, from your beautiful farm. However I’m really looking forward to upcoming videos at your new farm.
I am Happy for you Anne, gonna miss you around here and hope you have even bigger and better adventures to come. Looking forward to seeing more vids from the south. Cheers!
Hi Anne, I'm not as old as Darrel and Penny, and I am jealous of their good health and enthusiasm. I think a 30-year plan is a bit over what they will be able to do, but good luck to them and to you. Some people would be overwhelmed by the thoughts of having to start all over again from scratch, but not you. I wish you all the luck you can manage, and I hope your new farm is as successful as this one.
What a wonderful video, making a melancholy moment into positive, exciting change, I'll be interested in seeing how Darrel and Penny continue what you've started, best of luck to them, and of course you and Adam in your new wonderland, thanks for sharing
Sounds like you found the perfect person to take over your farm Anne! I can't wait for all the new adventures that lie ahead as you relocate to your new place!!!
Good luck to Darrel and Penny. Anne, you are just an awesome lady. Good luck and best wishes to you and your family. I love watching your journey here on TH-cam and Instagram. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I watched some of the other videos, I'm up to speed. Can't wait to see the new shop all set up. My wife and I are downsizing soon but that doesn't include the shop, LOL. Im looking for a tidy little house with a really big garage!
What an awesome outcome for both you and Darrel, win win situation! 👍🏽 Wishing you both an abundance of happiness on the start of this leg in your epic journeys...👌🏽
Wow! A YT video with NO dislikes! It’s like finding a four-leafed clover! Just goes to show what a charmed existence you live Anne! I’m so proud of all you have accomplished, and just tickled that you and Darrel found each other! I am sad that you have to leave your fur babies behind tho. 😞
Ha! Well I'm sure they'll show up shortly. I do appreciate the support though! Definitely sad to say goodbye to those critters but I'm happy knowing they'll be happy, and we'll have opportunity to give a fantastic home to some others that need it once we land in TN.
I live next door to you in Missouri and love the midwest but its sad how much you are giving up and leaving behind. I've learned a lot from you and want to make a wood shop in my barn and will follow you again as you create your new spaces. My budget is more like yours but I still watch April for the "dream" shop too.
Thanks Chuck! In all honesty it was sad to leave all that stuff, but at the end of the day, it was just stuff. I am excited for the opportunity to have a fresh start.
My heart is full for you. Your dream will become a reality through another person and you've made a friend along the way. I cant wait to see what your future has in store. You are indeed the female version of Roy Underhill and Bob Villa all wrapped up in one with a splash of Bob Ross for creativity. lol, Love what you do. God bless.
This is wonderful Anne. Thanks for sharing some of the personal experience. And such a wonderful answer to prayer! The Lord is good and I hope he blesses your time in TN!
She is right, it is never too late. I'm 59 and I'm headed to live in the country and have animals and live out the rest of my life.
Good for you! So happy to hear it.

I hope I have a 30-year plan when I'm 77!! God Speed Darrel!
Better yet, get started now!!
You couldn't have found a better successor. Sadly, there will likely be many more animals needing rescue available for your new farm. All the best to the both of you.
We'll have plenty of space for the right ones :)
@@AnneofAllTrades The manner in which you show your concern for the rescues at your former farm forecasts the good life your future companions will enjoy. I'm happy for y'all and look forward to watching your new adventures.
I'm so glad you found the right steward to take care of your farm. It's a wonderful thing. And gotta love the kitten zoomies in the middle!
Absolutely the best feeling leaving that place in such good hands. Makes it way easier to focus on the mountain of work ahead of us here in Tennessee!
How awesome to have found the right person to take on not just the farm, but the care of the animals! Great news!
Heck yeah!
I'm so sad you sold your farm. :(
I'm so happy you sold your farm! :)
Trust me, I feel the exact same way!
Well said.
Anne, not only did you pass on the torch but you left it lit real bright for Darrel to get a running start, he'll do very well. Happy for your new journey and fresh start in Tennessee and also Happy for us your audience in this platform that get to fallow and learn from you, Win Win all around.

Anne! You are simply the most beautiful human being. I thougt for a moment about buying your Farm, just to meet you once.
I love your drive so much Anne. I've been in love with woodworking, gardening and carpentry since I was a child - I'm about to turn 40 next month.

Perfect buyer, wonderful future for both of you.
Thank you!
Tears of joy running down my cheeks right now. You are both beautiful. Keep those dreams alive! All of them!
Thanks so much, it means a lot to have so many folks standing behind us in this wild adventure we are on!
Way to go Darrel! You encourage all of us oldsters to keep on keeping on! And congrats to Anne, I can't wait to see how you develop the new farm.

Thank you!
A 30 Year Plan...he sounds like an awesome business man.
He sure is! He's "tried" to retire three times now, but keeps getting his hands into exciting new business opportunities. So far though, he's been absolutely loving the farm and it's been so fun getting his reports about how everything's been going!!
Wow! He is just perfect for your farm and very inspiring to be 77years old and getting your beautiful garm with and dream shops.😊
We agree!
Such a beautiful story. New beginnings, new hopes, new dreams. You guys are blessed. 🙏🏽
Amen!
Have a blast Darrel!!!
It's good that both of you are not magnets. Both so positive. You are amazing and so is Darrel. Being 77 years old and having a 30-year-plan is just great.
Good luck to both of you.
That's great, that it works out for both families
Absolutely!
So very sorry that we won't be seeing your sweet animals anymore. I hope you get more when you get settled in Tennessee. Have a safe trip.
Anne what type of boots do you wear? Bittersweet...however on to new adventures! Can’t wait!
Tearing up! So very happy for you. Wishing Daryl all the best of luck in his 30 year journey!!
We are wishing him well as well. Just got off the phone with him actually, and he's having the time of his life. It makes it a whole lot easier to put down full roots here in Nashville knowing our old dreams are in such capable hands!
Go Darrel!!! Way to go after your dreams! You and Anne are both inspirations!
It's never too late to follow your dreams!
What A Beautiful Thing!

Sounds good Darryl! I can’t wait to see what you do on the farm. 👍🏼
He's gonna have so much fun there!
How wonderful Anne. Best of luck Darrel. I am 50 and also dream of a farm. We are never to old to dream......
Best time to start any dream is right now!
So glad you found someone to take over and care for you time and effort you put in to your dreams. Good luck in Nashville.
Thanks so much! Me too!
That is so awesome. I hope Darrel does the vlog. I am in the PNW, so he will be my new friend.
Me too! I'm sure he'll do great
It's so nice that you personally know the person that will make good use of what your hand had made.Can't wait to see what he will vlog.
PERFECT MATCH!
My thoughts exactly!
Good for him👍👍👍👍👍 and you!
That sale is a dream. It's so important that the value is more than monetary. Huge congratulations 👍🏻
Amen!
He looks like an awesome man! I have the gut feeling that the farm will be in good hands! Good luck, Darrel!
It absolutely is!
Sad to hear that you are leaving the gorgeous rescue animals behind.... but to move them all to different conditions in Nashville will be hard... and thank goodness the new owner 'Mr D' is taking them all on... and will continue keeping on what you started.

What a blessing to have someone buy it that has the same passion as you.
Best of luck Darrel! Anne travel safe and can't wait to see your new adventures.

Wow! I’m so bummed I didn’t know your farm was for sale! That’s exactly what I’m looking for for my family and I.
You’re a lucky man Darrell. Godspeed
thank you Anne . moving is hard not just the physical but the emotional aspect too . good luck
Darrel is super lucky to get that place.. youve made it an amazing place! i cant wait to see what youre going to do in your new place!
It's cool to see someone taking over such awesome foundation that you made Anne.
Thank you! I can't wait to see what he builds on it!

Thanks so much! We are happy too.
Hope he took notes!
What a lucky buyer to be able to carry on what you started. Glad your farm will be in good hands and excited to see your new start in Nashville
Thank you! We are just as excited to have found such great stewards, and can't wait to hit the ground running in Nashville.
Good luck Darrel.
He's an amazing guy with a wonderful family supporting him, and I'm only a plane ride away if he ever needs help! We both feel like we hit the lottery!!

Outstanding video. Best wishes on your new journey. I’ll be a forever subscriber
That makes me so happy to hear! Can't wait to share the next steps :)
Its good that you've found worthy fellow caretakers .And your legacy will live on at old farm while you build a new adventure in Nashville.
Absolutely!!
Good luck to both of you!
Thank you!
Good luck to you Darrell, from another displaced Nebraskan!
Congratulations both!

What a wonderful video, making a melancholy moment into positive, exciting change, I'll be interested in seeing how Darrel and Penny continue what you've started, best of luck to them, and of course you and Adam in your new wonderland, thanks for sharing
Hooray! You found a good steward, I'm so happy! Definitely let us know about where to follow his progress.
Definitely will! Thank you!
So nice to see that the both of you got what you wanted out of this transaction.
Thank you for making me smile more then I have in a long time.
Sounds like you found the perfect person to take over your farm Anne! I can't wait for all the new adventures that lie ahead as you relocate to your new place!!!
We truly are blessed by Darrel and Penny, they will be such phenomenal stewards and will build upon our own dreams there.
You go Darrel!! Best of luck to all of you :)
Good luck to Darrel and Penny. Anne, you are just an awesome lady. Good luck and best wishes to you and your family. I love watching your journey here on TH-cam and Instagram. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Selling the farm and leaving most of the animals and tools -- what a treasure! Kate in Olympia, WA -- 2/3/2020.
Congratulations Darrell what a great place. Can't wait to see your new Shop in Tennessee. Peace Be With You ☮️
Thanks so much!
Best of luck Anne!
Thanks so much!
Great video Anne! Thank you for sharing it with us!💖👌👍😎JP
You're a rockstar Anne! I was smiling throughout the whole video! Thanks for brightening my day and for following your dream.
Would've loved to hear more from Daryl. Loved the kitty photobombing. Lol
Oh you will, once we get him more used to the camera I'm sure he will have lots more to say!
It'll be fun to see what you build from scratch.
Can't wait to get started!!
The torch has been past. Great job.
It looked like a lifetime investment on your part. I hope whatever's waiting for you in Tennessee is worth it!
More than ;)
I watched some of the other videos, I'm up to speed. Can't wait to see the new shop all set up. My wife and I are downsizing soon but that doesn't include the shop, LOL. Im looking for a tidy little house with a really big garage!
This is so wonderful!!! Congratulations to both you and Darrel!
What an awesome outcome for both you and Darrel, win win situation! 👍🏽
Wishing you both an abundance of happiness on the start of this leg in your epic journeys...👌🏽
Wow, this is amazing. What a guy! And God really provided with you levaing the farm in really good hands. Godspeed, to all of you.
Way to pass it on and you're never to old to learn something
I loved this video. Thank you for sharing. My mind is now also at ease about your wonderful property your leaving in Washington.
Wow! A YT video with NO dislikes! It’s like finding a four-leafed clover! Just goes to show what a charmed existence you live Anne! I’m so proud of all you have accomplished, and just tickled that you and Darrel found each other! I am sad that you have to leave your fur babies behind tho. 😞
Haters gonna hate. 7 people (?) disliked this awesome video so far.
Ha! Well I'm sure they'll show up shortly. I do appreciate the support though! Definitely sad to say goodbye to those critters but I'm happy knowing they'll be happy, and we'll have opportunity to give a fantastic home to some others that need it once we land in TN.
I live next door to you in Missouri and love the midwest but its sad how much you are giving up and leaving behind.

Very cool!
Tear drop moments moving on
That must have been an emotional time but what a cool guy!! I hope I have that much energy to have a 30 year plan at 77. Hero!!
He is definitely a hero!
My heart is full for you. Your dream will become a reality through another person and you've made a friend along the way. I cant wait to see what your future has in store. You are indeed the female version of Roy Underhill and Bob Villa all wrapped up in one with a splash of Bob Ross for creativity. lol, Love what you do. God bless.
Thanks so much for the kind words! I sure did make an excellent friend, I can't wait to go back in a few weeks and help him out.
This is wonderful Anne. Thanks for sharing some of the personal experience. And such a wonderful answer to prayer! The Lord is good and I hope he blesses your time in TN!
He sure is! All the time.
Awesome and congratulations!
Thank you!
