Wow wow wow. So many crazy things. So glad you, Ursula and the animals are all ok. Such crazy weather. Happy to hear you were able to get back to working on the song though! Great job brother.

Whew, we had 8+ inches of rain here in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Some of the cricks, runs, and streams for sure looked like that. Other than the suicidal deer, Im glad you came out relatively unscathed!

Mother Nature keeping you on the steady path of being in the moment. Glad it's all good!

YOWZA! So glad you're all safe! Thanks for making time to post a Sunday Message! ❤

You're amazing. That is all. I LOVE seeing what a day looks like in your life. And amazed by your songs and performances. GREAT work brother.

a little update, we ended up totally mistagging a couple of the ewe lambs... but next year we'll figure out a better system....

We've all had that first moment with a new piece of technology where we just don't quite "get" how to use it... right? kind of like the thumbs up button on YoutTube...

Bien comoda en su corchonsito de lana❤

Good thing you check in on them every day, LOL!

I think it's a female cowbird.

Love me some BTC

Awww....so cute.....so good at staying...

i think the diners rate this restaurant top-notch!

Beities are builth for hardness

I get it....I've got a couple big oaks....bigger then yours....they are awesome

Massive Munchers! :)

For those sheep it's lunch in paradise!

I like this song. And the lambs with mamas. Seeing the tangled fencing reminded me of Christmas tree lights and necklace chains...

Love the meditative quality of this song. And so beautiful seeing new life. I observed that mama sheep keep on foraging and eating even while little ones try to nurse. It's like a challenge for the little ones to nurse. But I guess it's nature's way of getting them moving and using their legs to keep up with Moving Mama.

Maybe you are using the wrong size wire spacing for goats? Since you have babies you may want to use the netting size for chickens. Electric netting requires an electric fence energizer with a minimum of 0.50 output joules for every 165'.

Nice! What kind of grasses are they on?

Nice

Never thought of the stock market in terms of raising animals. Thank you for the insight.

Not poison hemlock, the stem of poison hemlock has some purple.

Oh no, I bet your heart was racing something fierce! All ok no

Glad the sun made a showing! At 3:18 the ducks have a lot to say! Adirondack Greenhouses is so beautiful. Luna the hunter! I like the song. And... the rain came back! (Better rain than snow!) Nice to see footage of you snuggling with the dogs back when there was snow on the ground.

Wow! I love the song and the visuals are so mesmerizing! I find it so fascinating just to watch rain drops, rain rivulets, rain sheets. Love the rain against the black background. Fantastic arrangement by Joe Mennonna. Neat changeup to have the song at the beginning of the post. I love the happy energy of the sheep when you open up a new area that's bursting with abundance of yummy things for them to eat. So interesting that the raccoon has only taken eggs so far. I'm surprised Luna hasn't ferreted him out yet. So exciting to hear you have restaurants interested in purchasing lamb! Word is getting out! 😃

Snow White and the 7 lambs....

Thank you for an informative video! At 3:55 you mention "there are plenty of rocks to harvest". In using the term "harvest", does this mean you are able to generate income from a place that takes rocks? Or are you using the term just to mean "get them out of the field"? What do you use to mark (tee hee) the sheep? Will there be a Part 2 to describe leveraging the expenses? That new pasture looks like it could feed the sheep for months! You could lose the lambs in there! 😊 Neat plan for getting rid of the buckthorn. Those deer flies are so vicious! I would have thought the rain would have tamped them down, but I see that is definitely not the case. I couldn't believe it when you said "if it can stay dry for a few days" and then boom! the rain came again! Oy! Thanks again for educating future farmers and us non-farmers on the details of having a farm business. Also glad to hear you made some more videos!

During the first 2 minutes you have such a great callj-and-response with the sheep: "Sheep sheep sheep sheep sheep sheep c'mon" "Baaah" Spike and Mocha are so adorable together! Those flies are insane! What a pretty bird -- I don't remember seeing one like that before. After the rain, the sheep have formed an organized protest, all that's missing are the signs "No more wet meadow" "Dry fields for sheep" "Dry land now!" "Sheep for new pastures" It's so quiet over by the cows! The sheep are so noisy, the ducks are always noisy, the river was roaring, and then...almost not a sound can be heard. I like the song -- a good reminder for us all that "life happens". Thanks for another great post!

Yowzah that's a lot of rain. Love the song!

Awesome song ❤

Sheep HATE wet feet.

I also want to add that the visuals that accompany the song remind us that experiencing the rain is subjective -- love to see the kids thoroughly enjoying it!

Thank you for all the time you put into recording and editing your videos. I get so much out of each one. The song was another surprise that I had not ever heard before -- what a gem! Thank you for sharing your dad's story, and yours as well. Great reminders that it's never too late to start something new! Love the community you've built, and the portfolio of farms. What a smorgasbord for the sheep! So funny watching Splits fighting to stay in the trailer out of the rain! Thank you for the reminders to take care of our health, and that we can choose today to start making healthier choices if we haven't made such great choices in the past. Just had the healthiest dinner I've had in a long time! 😃

makes me want to go make a good salad...

Thank you for packing so much into this video! Great lessons and important questions. at 1:46 you talk about challenges to our grooviness feelings -- I think these challenges can be a helpful "forced pause" to get our attention and make us evaluate what's going on while we're just cruising along. So wonderful to hear "Summer Storm" -- it's been a few years, I think, since I last heard it. Seems like the pauses before "with me" are longer than in previous recordings -- I like it. I also appreciate that at 16:30 you include some of your video of the St. Lawrence River, which is just as much "America" as the landmarks you had shown previously (e.g., State of Liberty). What is that box at 17:13 that the person is putting coins into? LOL! I like the meditation at the end. The dogs look so small! It was interesting that at the beginning, it was Luna who was demanding lots of attention, instead of Max. Amid the sheep, the dogs look like just another variety of sheep! At 27:22 you mentioned the sheep seem a lot less afraid of you now. Well, since you rode in the trailer with them, they think that you are one of them, a tall sheep! Love seeing your dad at the end. And I love seeing men in kilts! It's not a "utility kilt", it's just a "kilt" and your dad is rocking it!

Go Splotchy!!! 😍

I wasn't going to listen to the song, because the title didn't invite me in. But I didn't turn it off in time, and then I started listening, and I liked it way more than I thought I would.

They're perfect.

So goats don't eat weeds? Honest question

I think they were downgrading you ("Bahhhhhhhh!!!) 🥰

Just curious how come you have them on leashes while they are eating?

They all baaed right on cue!

The sheep look so fat and happy!!! 🐑🐑🐑😍

My maremma, Maggie, loves the rain and snow

They are so freaking cute!!!

Speaking of decisions... I am really starting to lay out the startup costs of doing a single little herd of sheeps(no more than a dozen) to rotate for this land improvement system as a business. Have you considered drafting a semi-standardized "contract" with future landowners? I have a feeling that in this neck of the woods of Virginia, I would need a locked down contract and have to be ready for a tussle just because of the nature here. Back home in Northwern WI, I have a feeling that may not need to be a thing per se. Oh, this knowledge saturation is what I call my ADHD superpower. I have been on a sheep bend for months now XD I have decided that this exact trailer is what I will end up with, should I be able to find one when the time comes. I have seen it on circle P's channel, and thought it was the sweetest thing. I have yet to see one not all rusted up, so I wonder if they make these sliding door styles anymore.

this is relaxing. I have a web cam on mine but they avoid the camera in the pasture.

checking to see if the comments are on...
