    Tova, Mathias and Evar:
    I have spent the last month bingeing about an hour a day watching your story unfold chronologically. I wanted to see it all before I made any comments. I’m glad I did.
    In my profound enjoyment of your vlogs, I find such a powerful story of the journey and circle of life! Your lives are so wonderfully and seamlessly connected to Nature and the changes of seasons and the support of the neighboring village. It is such a powerful, yet gentle rebuke of the way most people live!
    Your stories expose the myths most of humanity take as foundational truth:
    1. That striving for ever more progress in the form of wealth and material goods is our purpose.
    2. That we humans are central to everything important that happens and the rest isn’t worth paying attention to.
    3. That we exist apart from nature.
    I am happy to be a new patron for such a wonderful family with such powerful ideas the world needs to hear. May you get one million viewers and more. Keep dreaming and be well!

    So first I started watching this video with my phone, then switched to my laptop to grab the whole essence. Finally, moved to my 43" HD tv, which could make justice to the quality of the video, and to my feelings.

      @johnny Good The big worry about leaving something historical for your future people, is that everything is in digital form now and easily removed or subverted by those wishing to control the past and the future. At least with physical film, photos, video tape, books etc it could be stored more safely / secretly.

Its the mix of the nice closeups the dynamic drone scenes and your sense of poesy and your love of the land and your family and your animals one can feel through the camera. Really really beautiful and heart touching. Thank you all and have a good journey into spring! Best wishes from Austria!

  • @lieuwina

    Absolutely stunning. The light from the moon makes everything looks so magical and the glitter from the snow sparkling like little jewels in the moon light. Beautiful and what a lovely time to ski walk, though I would be scared in case there were wolves about, or any wild animal actually. Reminds me of Narnia, you have captured the beauty so well and the sky studded with those stars in such a clear sky. wow, that sunrise is fantastic. Look at wild wonderful life they have installed solar panels on their homestead quite a long distance from their house, perhaps this will help you and if you had questions you could ask Josh he has learnt a lot about solar.

So beautiful the area you live, thanks for taking us there :)

      The Swedish language is rich in describing what time of winter it is. Apart from "Spring Winter" which is "Vårvinter" in Swedish, we also have "Förvinter" as in "Before Winter", "Midvinter" which might be the kind of " Winter Winter" you @Sarah were referring to in Iowa, when it usually is at its coldest. Then there also is "Senvinter" as in "Late Winter". Mind you, neither of these words has got anything to do with the temperature. It is only describing what part of winter we are talking about. However rich Swedish when it comes to describing parts of winter, the indigenous people of Sweden "Samer" (plural) up in Lappland, have some 200+ words just for snow.

      We call it early spring here in New England when the birds, both wild and domestic, start breeding and singing a new song. On the warm days, ones above 40F, the sap in the trees moves a bit and soon a lot so that we can tap them and make syrup. It keeps us busy when there’s not much else one can do on the farm this season of the year. Love your drone flying skills. It really enhances the video.

      I'm from Minnesota and use a snowblower, also. English is my first language, but I don't know all the engine part names, either. Although 'belt' was my guess, so I'm glad it was 👍. I had to get electric start, because I threw out my shoulder trying to pull the chain. But I keep forgetting, on the red switch for the power, which is On and which is Off. There is just the symbols of 0 and l. I have to Google it every year. O for Output, I for Input (which I think is Off). If anyone has an easier way to remember it, let me know! I also got very tired of managing all of the snow I need to clear. Steps, driveway, deck, entrance, turn around, front door, back door, sidewalk, more sidewalk, boardwalk from driveway to front door. Eventually you run out of places to put the snow, and have to shovel up and over piles taller than your head! Then you spend the spring and summer planning for where to put the snow next winter, and you move dirt around and spend lots of energy making it accessible. Then the snowblower breaks, yes, and it takes a long time to get fixed..... I know the frustrations! So even though I can't afford it, I got a used 4x4 pickup truck with a snowplow and learned how to use it. Best investment ever! Now I can plow out my neighbors and they can help me shovel the steps in return! It is very satisfying to have it all cleared. Good work, my friends!
