My Grandma told me years and years ago to always have one or two or more dreams, and work toward them. If you don't have dreams then your dying. I am 59 and I am still working on dreams. I will get there one day. I am so happy that you are back at what you love. Love and Hugs to you both.
This is one of the best inspiring stories I've ever heard. Not only the joy on both your faces but the excitement in your voices. Thanks for bringing us along on your journey. Truly a living American dream. God bless.
It’s amazing how God can bless us and when the storms of life pass, we look back and realize that he had the master plan the entire time. Sometimes it’s best to have faith, pray and keep at it! God bless.
diaryofatired whiteman yes with 7.6 billion people on earth, I know exactly who you are talking about. Isn’t she that person that has arms, legs and hair growing from her head? Such a small world
You have proven over and over again that you're a fighter and a very determined man. Your greenhouse and garden are absolutely amazing! Enjoy the fruits of your labor and may GOD continue to bless you and your beautiful family.
I'm so glad you are staying true to your content. I used to watch other channels and stopped because of clickbate type stuff. Or they start parading their wife or girlfriend around in tights or a bikini to get views. Your reviews are honest and you don't advertise every 2 seconds. "Link in the description below" " link in the description below" everytime they use something. Anyway. Thanks again for staying the course. Well done sir.
Thank you for saying that and a huge LOL on the tights and bikinis. Lets all build a cabin in yoga pants. Too damn funny :-)) Glad others feel the same as I do on that :-)
God is Good. For everyone who prayed for you during your illness and then surgery, you are here today. You and Lori have dreamed for this and then..labored together. It’s beautiful and bountiful. You both smiled during this brief harvest showing all of us how grateful you are your dreams and are producing beyond expectations. Your expressions while telling this journey proved how wonderful life is on the mountain. I’m very happy for you and your dreams coming true. Thank you God for restoring Boss and blessing his and Lori’s life endeavors. To God be the glory.
BOSS You just MADE my DAY!!!!! Seeing You & Lori Accomplishing your DREAMS & You Looking Healthier & Sounding like your Old Self....... Is a BEAUTIFUL THING.... Ever since my truck & trailer that was loaded with my belongings to move out of state was STOLEN ..... My WORLD has been a mess..... But I got another trailer last week & I borrowed a truck..... So it is back to my Journey of 1000 miles with my EYE on the PRIZE....... Thank You Again For teaching me that YOU can LIVE your LIFE HOWEVER You DREAM IT...... God Bless You.

It is just going to take a LONG TIME...... I had a Lifetime of working HARD & saving to have ZERO DEBT Thank God the truck & trailer plus all my tools were paid for.......

So glad you're all healed up and able to enjoy your garden and new projects. Your place is amazing. Goes to show what hard work, good planning and an upbeat attitude can do.
Growing up my mother kept a garden. Said gave her some peace and quiet time so she didn’t kill us all haha! She had my Dad make 4 compost bells, really boxes with lids that we put all the food scraps, egg shells and whatever in. She always had a plentiful supply of nitrogen rich, earthworm aerated compost/soil for her no till gardens. Seeing this wonderful garden reminds me of those days when we were all young and earthbound. Bless you both and the pups
What a great team you two are!! Your both an inspiration to us all. Enjoy your rewards for all that hard work!! Boss you look great, stay healthy and god bless.
Chasing dreams is like a dog chasing a car it's what you do with it once you catch it that matters good to see you back my friend God bless and take care
Great to see both of you enjoying the fruit of your labours. Frankie & Tildy are so happy, then why wouldn't they, that have the best family in the world. blessings to all.
Happy to see y'all smiling Boss, Lori and fur babies. Y'all are truly blessed and thankful that we get to go along with y'all. Great to see the fur babies silliness. Enjoy your fruits, y'all deserve it. Looking forward to seeing more adventures. In our thoughts and prayers. God Bless y'all and the fur babies ✌❤😁
Boss, you have been a huge inspiration to me for a few years now. It’s great to see determination come to fruition. Thank you for taking the time to show us folks a little piece of your life.
Lots of hard work to get to this point but y’all are well deserving to reap the fruits of y’all’s labor. Glad to see you getting better. Stay strong an god bless
@@curtisep5885, There's a reason why dog spelled backwards is God, they truly are Man's/Woman's best friend. I could not live without mine, his name is Bullett and he's SO COOL !!
Glad to see you’re back and looking good. Hope you’re feeling as good as you look. That garden is looking great. Time to make some pickles with all those baby cucumbers. Love the Boarder Collie nonsense, they remind me so much of my little Bear.
Gary, My wife used to make relish with the cucumbers from our garden and you could literally eat it like ice cream, it was that good. Your pickle comment made me think of that, lol ! Thank you. Edit: More Border Collie nonsense would be awesome !!
august - sounds delicious. But I live in the central east coast of Florida and get anything but jalapeños to grow here. It either dies in the heat or bugs eat them.
Your two beautiful dogs are just like little children playing around with the pillows all inside your small cabin is like a movie. Just need a little popcorn and set back and enjoy watching all their cuteness!👍
Just beautiful garden. Love the pumpkins. Here they cook with pumpkin year round in soups and stews. Hard work pays off and your skill proves it. Man you both are amazing. Life is so much better when you have a team and a dream. Jim in Chile.
Love your garden I love buttercup squash too hard for me to find seeds for it around here I live in the woods too in Northeastern Michigan! Not as lucky a you though, I have neighbors as well as critters too! Love your videos sir and your gardens! I have way to many trees for a nice garden and green house , I don’t have the means to remove them or build what I would like nowadays, can’t do much anymore! But love seeing yours! It is so awesome to be able to eat what your growing yourself and knowing what’s in what you eat! 🤗❤️💕✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️💕❤️🤗🙏🏡
So good to see you healthy again. That garden is such a blessing. God is smiling at you Boss. I can bet that you and Lori are enjoying life's blessings. I am so very happy for you both.
I’m so glad for your beautiful garden your wife and you are living in a wonderful place! It looks so peaceful. Pray to God you are in good health. Blessings always.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Good to see you Boss...........and that silver haired wife of yours. Two living as one can overcome most things - as you have proved. Looking forward to your coming projects.
This video brought tears to my eyes as I pondered of the dreams I've been working on too. Your insight to the value of living is what drives me everyday to keep moving forward toward the goal. I'm happy for your dream come true and I know there will be a prize out there just waiting for you and me. God bless my good friend.
Like to see the cabin wood floors it makes me imagine how my old house looked like when it was first constructed in the early 1900’s one section at a time .. with 3 fire stoves from the basement to the second floor .. and a under ground well next door in my fathers house now filled in with dirt but a good rain storm it will fill with 2 feet of water still ..society had gotten to lazy and used to everything done for them through government etc .. no more resilience.. your you tube keeps the basic ways stay going .. so i thank you for your creativity...
The greenhouse and garden are so beautiful. That has to be the best refuge you could ever ask for when it’s freezing cold outside and there’s a foot of snow on the ground. You and Lori make the best couple. You are very blessed. Never get tired of seeing Frankie and Tildy playing, having fun, and enjoying life. Those pups are loved, happy, and incredibly well cared for. Boss, you’re an inspiration and the world needs more people like you. My friend, God bless!
Our dog 🐶 loves to romp around on the couch and clear the cushions off it too. You can always tell when pets are not just pets, but members of the family.
Congrat’s !! You have conquered all and achieved your dream! Beaten back your illness and have the Best Video’s on RU-vid ! Life Is Good 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 thanks for all the enjoyment 👍🤠👏🙏
I am so so happy for you guys, you deserve it ... What a beautiful garden! God is so good, He is our providers, let’s give Him thanks! Thank you Father for JC and Lorrie’ s beautiful garden and plentiful harvest, only you Father can make all this grow because you are the creator of all things and all things belong to you. We are only here for a short time, a vapour, and we thank you for providing us with all our needs. Amen.
I have way too many questions and way too many compliments for you 4 awesome people...So I'm just gonna say, YOU ARE AWESOME !!! Thumbs up 1000 times, if possible !!!
Glad to hear you are all healed up! cant wait to see the garden grow, and what you do with it all. Maybe a cooking/canning video series coming up???? hint hint wink wink
Nice Job on the entire video " Took a lot of work. Them Black Bears don't tast to bad in Wisconsin ? Bear permit ? All up too you. Bear Jerky" Ahh I'm glad your health is getting better "
So glad to hear you getting over that surgery and wow this video like all your videos was a great one you had me laughing and did Tildy and Franke and that garden was amazing God bless you and your family thanks for another amazing one.
Always believed that people only reap what they sow. You folks have worked hard despite adversity, your efforts have been rewarded by a successful harvest and the addition of the shop and greenhouse. Does my heart good to see you folks prosper.
Awwww guys that’s wonderful! Dave and I are just a few months away from finishing our dream house on the lake. Can’t wait to start my gardens next year. I hope good fortune and health follow you on your journey
I don't think I recall anyone being so happy. You are both filled with joy and contentment You are truly excited about life and everything in it.. You are truly an inspiration. God Bless you both in all you do, and may you have good health and long life.
Planted a garden for the first time in many years, inspired by you, Boss. Deep mulch forever! I’d forgotten how satisfying it is. Next year’s will be even bigger!
Hey Bossman , I want to tell you the joy you get out of the garden, is the joy I get watching your videos . One thing I need to share , not sure if you know but all those flowers that the zucchini plants make are wonderfull to eat with a simply egg , flower parsley and salt , pepper fried in hot oil for a minute will bring joy to your mouth simply delicious. Love your videos and more importantly love your attitude 👍👍👍👍
There isn't anyone in this world that is more inspiring than you four, as I watched this with a border collie on my lap. I pulled up some yukon gold potatoes today and all my garlic and just one big jalapeno. Beets are already up that I planted two days ago. After about 30 lbs of blueberries this season I'm letting the orchard Orioles robin's and bluebirds finish the rest. Even had a scarlet teenager yesterday. Very exited to see what you do with your chicken coop and woodshed. I'm finishing off my automatic watering system today for the chickens. Just a bucket watering cups and PVC.
You look and sound great--keep eating those homegrown vegetables! Loved a re-cap on the project--congratulations on the beautiful garden. Frankie and Tildy are more fun than a barrel of monkeys! Loved their antics. You and Lori certainly are making your dreams come true thanks for taking all your viewers along for the ride. I was so happy to see you posted a video today and as always, it was even more wonderful than I imagined--take care and thanks again! From a viewer in Washington, DC!
do you mean you only have 24 hrs a day? Well, that needs to change LOL always good to see you, your progress, your videos! With great interruptions thrown in! Inspirations, good common sense and all that in peaceful environment! GOD bless!!!
What a Garden, so Awesome and your hard work paid off and next yr will be a breeze. The chickens will have plenty to eat when they get up on the mountain and Frankie and Tildy look happy, what a life, Thanks for sharing You 2.
That garden is unbelievable !!!! A true inspiration and a great example to us all. Had a huge smile while watching the dogs antics !!! Very happy to hear your recovery is going well. Thanks and God Bless !!!
What an inspirational couple you too are. The world needs more Jim and Laurie(s). You must feel you grabbed that golden ring with a outstanding garden but a washing machine (shown in previous video) also, Well Done!! There are not many people to admire, I have found two.
Having been a gardener for now over 5 decades, I'm impressed with what you have accomplished. Absolutely beautiful and an accomplishment to be proud of. Enjoy the bountifulness you both have created. God bless for your future health and successes.
At 12:39, when you two are so proud of holding all of your unbelievable vegetables and rightfully so, I couldn't help but notice Lori's right bicep, she is ripped ! You guys are too cool, bless you both !
Getting your base back in your voice... very good to hear that... that’s a great sign that your health is improving very steadily...... your garden and greenhouse could have its own channel...you two a had smiles ear to ear in that garden....
Nice job(s) you two !!! The garden is mind blowing, simply magnificent and the greenhouse and shop look freakin awesome as well. Hard work pays off, but like you say Boss Man, that's just good backwoods logic. Best to ya all up on the mountain, glad to see you are on the mend and on the go. Thanks for sharing, enjoy the fruits (and veggies) of your labors. Be blessed, stay safe, but most of all have fun. Peace 😎👍✌🖖🐟🌱💥🛎❤🇺🇸❤
Y’all’s garden looks amazing! I see lots of canning & freezing in your future!! My mom used to stew tomatoes and zucchini together and put them up in jars. That taste of summer carried us through winter. Good memories you’re making there on your mountaintop.
Hey Boss and Lauri don't quit ever. Beautiful garden that feeds you. Tildy is coming on beautifully. It is my Collies 4th Birthday July 26th : ) .Thank you so much for all the positivity : )
Wow! Tons of hard work and many long hours are paying off. Absolutely gorgeous garden, work shop, and sun room garden. You and Lori are so blessed. PS please send some of the rain you don't want to Ohio, lol.
Sorry I was not finished. I hit the wrong button. I canned all I could and loved to try new things! You have worked so hard, but it has got to be so rewarding seeing all the food you have produced. Also loved seeing the puppies( always puppies regardless of their age) when one loves them so much. I know I have one ( a Siberian Husky) and she is our big baby! It is good to see you feeling so well and gaining strength every day. As a person of faith I know prayers work. I have seen it in my own life many times. My best to you and yours (including those sweet puppies) and I know you are going to enjoy that garden so much! A beautiful job!🐺🐺🐺🐺🙏🙏🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊🕊👍👍👍👍
Hi Boss I feel joy and excitement seeing all the things you have Accomplished in such a short time. You Sir inspire me to do more and change my life. I now am retired and living in the woods. I’m getting my land cleared and looking to see where to put my garden. We have tons of deer so 6 foot fences are needed to keep them out of the garden. I will plant for them at the bottom of my clearing. Thank you for being you and recovering from your surgery. GOD bless you both
The garden is fantastic. Congratulations. Dealing with the adversity only makes success that much more fulfilling. Dogs sure make us better people don't they.
