The prime of life condition of your core muscles is what makes the tasks you perform look nearly effortless. Not so -- as you know at the end of each day.
Your core muscles are in peak condition because you work hard, likely daily with little ones.
You use all of your muscles -- they all pull together (ha! So to speak) enabling you to complete every task your busy, dedicated mind conjures up.
Take care of that core, Laura -- it makes all the difference between a good life, or an essentially disabled one in later years.
Young, healthy, active people, as I was & as you are, often aren't even aware of having a core group of muscles.
I used to think that was Just Me! That the important muscles were in my arms + legs. Those, too. Lol.
The core muscles are the ones that girdle your tummy, your incredible back, the top of your legs, and your hips -- your core, like a girdle of armor.
Funnily enough, there are spiritual congruencies -- isn't that always the way? Our Creator is so elegant in His creations.

Holy cow - just title this video Wonder Woman. Let s see, you harvested tomatoes and onions-tons of them. Planted at least 12 plants including two trees and a handful of shrubs. Redid the drip tube in 2 or 3 places, made marinara sauce and canned it, took us to the pond and gave us a few looks at different plants and flowers. All the while taking us along like we were part of the family. Your ability to converse with the camera is amazing. I have spoken in front of groups many times and totally enjoy it but recently was asked to do a live international talk for one hour live ( and recorded. Sure, that s easy! It s not! I started my talk, had notes, then totally got worried about time, got lost in my talk-it was horrible. So I really am impressed with the way you handle the camera. It s a gift.

The walkway and patio are gorgeous! Pedro & crew have done a wonderful job! It is so nice when you have someone you can depend on. Canning season used to be one of my favorite times of the year. We canned so much last year that the only thing we have done this year is rhubarb strawberry jelly. One thing my mother in law taught me was to turn the jars upside down after you take them out of the canner. She said it helps to make them seal. I don't know if it actually does but my husband always does it!

Laura, I m cringing as you walk through the tall foliage with your sandals. Here in SC we have fire ants and I can t walk through my grass without getting stung. I can t imagine a Black Widow sting!
Suggestion for cool weather recipe: how about homemade onion soup using the Walla Walla onions? Yum, I m thinking. I am going to try the marinara recipe even though I have never used sugar in my marinara sauce before.
Glad your temps dropped a bit. Can t wait for it to hit the east coast!

I wish you luck with your Sumac. It's extremely invasive in my area and they are a complete nuisance plant. The previous owners of our property planted them around the driveway, but they come up everywhere - including right in the middle of the yard, and basically everywhere else you don't want them. Ours got enormous and had beautiful purple flowers, which pollinators loved, but also huge, wicked thorns. It's been impossible to remove them and keep them under control.

Good morning Laura and family,
Do you keep the tubing for next year? ( recycle, the patio is looking great, just to set there a watch the fish and relax with the kids and Aaron, lucky family( miss my fish pond. Can't wait to see the results. Your onions and tomatos harvest is beautiful, do you have problems with the birds and rodents when drying the onions? Thank you for sharing as always, have a great rest of the day.

If you ever do interviews with Paul and Bethany, add Ken and his wife (sorry can't remember her name) too. Ken's editing seems so intuitive. It's like he knows exactly what we want to see as viewers, when to use music, when we want to hear the shovel hit the dirt, etc. Your videos are a pleasure to watch and also to learn from. Thanks to your whole team.

What would be awesome is if you could add links to the videos you reference in the description block. In a couple of months when I rewatch this, I ll be reminded about the sauce and will want to make it (I m southern hemisphere so we re just starting tomato s) & probably struggle to find it. Just a thought: )

You mentioned Aaron would be brush hogging the kochia weed and I thought that looks like tumble weed to me! I grew up in eastern Washington and they were everywhere! So, I looked it up and sure enough, that s what it is. I have never heard them called kochia weed before! Learned something new today!

As scary as black widow spiders are, they must be more scared of you than you are of them. This isn't the first time they've left an area after you were working there. I'm quite a bit older than you, but I wish I had half of your energy! Love your videos. they inspire me to keep going.

So happy you're pleased with Pedro's work. I was wondering if the stones were too big for your liking. I think it's fabulous! Holy cow, what a ton of onions! Super happy for you. The pond area is becoming more and more magical. All God's blessings to you and your family!

The pavers look so good and all the gardening/harvesting you did so many tomatoes and onions. So smart having your own garden now we have to check the labels on everything at the grocery store because they ve added bioengineered food source which is unhealthy.

I made the marinara sauce yesterday, 26 lbs of tomatoes so I tweaked the recipe a bit. When I tasted it it was super delicious and would make an awesome tomato soup too lol. Thanks for sharing the recipe, will definitely be adding the recipe to my keeper book.

Thank you so much for capturing footage of Pedro's crew working on the pond walkways and patio. It is amazing seeing the process and how it is all coming together. They do such a great job! And is it just me, or are the fish growing by leaps and bounds?
