I wish I had your energy. My mom raised us doing weekend chores but, I believe I got thyroiditis at 12 years of age and it caused me to become depressed and causes me fatigue and tiredness. I was diagnosed in my twenties. I always have a to do list in my head, but have a hard time getting out of bed some days, let alone get a bunch of things done.
I wish I could let my cats roam in and out, but I used to have indoor/outdoor cats and between neighbors killing and poisoning them, and roaming dogs mauling them to death, and the idea of them getting run over by inconsiderate a-holes that speed through, I had little choice than to keep the cats I have now indoors. I have 3 indoor cats and one that does go out because he was a stray and is not used to being indoors. The most I allow is for them to go out on the balcony for supervised outdoor time. It's the only outdoor space I have at the moment.
If I lived on a large, private property like yours I would love to let them run free during the day. I wish I could move out of my gross neighborhood and the city.
But alas, some of us have to work to live and live to work at places and jobs we don't necessarily love.

I agree with the others, get an electric gate. I would be tempted to go on your driveway myself but would never actually do it. The lights are gorgeous along with all the winter interest. I love your chickens but do not have the property to keep them so thinking about getting honey bees but need to do more research. Will definitely plant more pollinator plants in the spring. You inspire me to have a better garden and am always wowed by Aaron's work with the camera and drone. Always love to see videos that include Benjamin, Russell, Cheddar and the girls. I am so happy I found your videos about a year ago. So inspiring! Thank you

We purchased chickens from Murray McMurray (they have a catalog) a couple years ago. They were Domer chicks and we have something come through and they was just laid over the next day. No signs or symptoms. It was scary! Thankfully a few was resilient, but we was afraid of bird flu and such. Who knows. Just have to watch for a trend if you go with the same breeder. The breeder we got them from was so nice and gave our money back. They were beautiful chickens.
Also, you have a great eye for interior design! So enjoyed the lights, Aaron. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas! Happy New Year and great blessings to each of you!

Laura don't be so hard on yourself maybe the hens got ahold of some mouse poisen the previous owners used or some insecticide and you now have cleaned it out. Things happen on a farm lord knows my dad cleaned all our barns when we move in when I was young and the previous owners hadn't done a real good job. ie he finally found the cement floor he thought it was dirt the horse barn was so dirty. You are so cute with feeding them by hand the bugs. Love your show just delete. delete. delete the nay sayers for they have nothing better to do! Let's just keep enjoying life it's just too short! Happy New Year!

I love these videos, thank you so much for doing them!
And thank you for being so open, people ask a lot of questions and you're totally right- it opens up the conversation to possibly turn more judgemental. I think you handle it so gracefully though. And i love you and your chickens too! I'm sorry some passed, such a crazy experience but I know you're a responsible owner that just got a weird case of bad luck with that.
Keep em coming! Happy holidays!

Laura, I see you have ferns in your seasonal room where you shot your weekly review video. Was this an outdoor fern that you are wintering? I am wintering 5 ferns this year. I've never done this before. Four are at my office and one is at home. The fern I am wintering at home seems to be growing new shoots. Yay for me! I'm finding that I have to water them twice weekly in our dry environment. Do you have any other tips/advice to offer?

Thank you for being so thoughtful and making possible for information to get closer to everyone! My mom loves watching your videos, but she doesn't speak any English so she only watches the short versions- or asks me to be her translator: D. Our mother language is actually Portuguese, but Spanish is close enough that we can understand the videos clearly: ) I think many Brazilians will benefit from it too! Keep up the great work guys

Could you PLEASE do so many more videos on the vegetable garden this year? You hardly did any this year which is so sad, Id love to see literally any update on it throughout the season. And honestly the random square garden by the barn where they have the basket ball hoop would be a great place to either move the gazebo to put the greenhouse where the gazebo is, or just put the greenhouse in that random square garden.

If you are in the South, NC for instance, and your cypress trees are Leyland Cypress, call your county extension service about the browning. There is a blight from over planting. This is called monoculture and when you do that things get diseased and pass it quickly to others. I tore all mine out years ago and wont plant any more Leyland. There are other cypresses that are becoming popular
