Pete, I almost enjoyed this video even more for how casual and raw it felt! We as your main viewers literally don’t care what you post. We are here for you and your wonderful family you have created. We are here to watch your mundane chores and activities that you probably don’t think are interesting. We seriously love you for you!
Your closing comments are spot on. It's what each of us experience throughout our lives. Raising the family, paying the mortgage, work, work and more work until we realize that the kids are grown and the mortgage is paid. Then it's just your mate and you. Time to get back to the things, as you said, fulfill us. Contentment is the key to a happy retirement I believe.
@@JustaFewAcresFarm I thought barberry as well although I don't recall you saying it is deciduous. Which it is. This is the purple-leaved cultivar. The species itself is green, and that's what you are seeing down inside of the bush, it's natural coloration.
Hi Pete, I believe you are right. Someone asked me yesterday what I do for fun, after a moment of contemplation I said "Nothing in particular, I just enjoy life on the farm." Being content is far more fulfilling than "doing" things for fun.
That is cool. The cows are comfortable around you therefore the calves are relaxed around you. I'm of the opinion that landscaping is part of farming. Thank you Pete.
Pete has a great relationship with his herd. I wonder if he has ticks in his region. I get covered in them when I walk through our fields and pretty much everywhere else too.
Pete, this was always my favorite time of year, calving season. Seeing the babies run around is very rewarding. Keep bringing the joy to all of us. Thank you!
Getting to see the new borns with mamas almost made me cry for some reason. It’s just so dear, the circle of life. We’re aging along with you Pete and Hilarie. Needs and demands change and hopefully we’re able to enjoy a slower pace, more of the things that bring joy (and not iust $$), and the balance you describe. Love being your neighbor, even if it is only thru the lens on my computer. Have a great day yourself.
Came here on a suggestion from other farm video enthusiasts... Wow! This is just what my soul needed. And now I'll have a wonderful time catching up on all your previous videos, I really look forward to that. Thank you for your videos, and thank you for creating a little slice of peace for so many of us!
The scent of lilacs always takes me back to my grandparents small farm. Grandma had a big lilac outside the back door of the farmhouse and we used to play out there. Thank you for stopping to smell the flowers, Pete, you took me back. 🙂
I love watching your day. I love the cows, but I'm also glad to see you and Hillary doing other things you enjoy, like gardening. Please, enjoy your life, and hopefully you'll bring us along for the ride.
Hi Pete! When you brought out the husky I thought, here we go, my kind of gardening. Lol. Cut them off. I know very little to nothing about flower gardens. Your cows are spitting out some fine calves. Love seeing the little fellers. Have a good rest of your day.
Congratulation on your new baby calves, I enjoy seeing them run around excited about your new flower bed to see how it turns out you have a lovely place Pete and Hillary.
Character and reputation are built on quality over quantity. Doing every task very well, is good for the soul. Maybe not as much for the sore hands, and knotted my back, that ol' trick knee doesn't like the ladder anymore, have you seen my glasses? LOL Good content is hard to make week after week. I enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing, Pete & Hill ❤
Thanks for the video. There's a guy in Georgia who purchased farm land and house that was originally in his family many years ago. Once it was abandoned, the wisteria and privet went nuts and turned the place into a jungle you could hardly see through. He has been fighting it ever since. I never knew wisteria could grow so much. Some of the branches that went up trees there actually are 4-5+ inches in diameter. I have always loved pruning things.
Congratulations to you and Hillary on the birth of the new babies!! It’s nice to see some new-to-us areas getting spruced up!! Your home and farm are so beautiful! 👍🏻❤️🥳
Dear Pete and Hilario, Contentment comes from watching your videos and savoring your daily victories ! Congrats on four new members of the herd, more to follow- ❤🎉
Enjoyed watching the new gardening and flower garden videos. It’s all park of the great life. Keep them coming. Hoping to see a shot of the pavers cleaned and the next trimming.
Your cows look very healthy. And your landscaping has good bones. I love the arbor and the walkways. Nice to see more of the house too. I think its interesting how small these older houses look compared to houses built today.
Pete and Hillary, you two are so well matched ! The love of the farm life is strong and you think alike together. The satisfaction together is heartwarming. Love seeing the new calves. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Really enjoyed this one Pete. It was nice to see a little bit of the homeowner part of life and some of the farmhouse. I am from New England and am always a sucker for good farmhouse and grounds!
Awesome video Pete! Yes that is all part of owning a farm. Taking pride in your property by making it look nice says alot about the owners and you feel good looking back at your finished work! Thanks!
These things you have described don't always come at once...most times they come in no particular order or sense. Appreciation however, comes in unexpected moments when these show up with no intention. Thank you for sharing your moments....
Lilac bushes are a favorite, a lot of memories in my Ohio childhood~ Congratulations on your new calves, a joy to see your cattle on beautiful green pastures!
Very nice, thank-you both, always. Nothing beats seeing stock enjoying their grub! Happiness is contribution is contentment. Hence the politics that I do.
Hey Pete, yes, 100 percent would agree that being content in a current state of mind allows for much clearer minds and thoughts and overall calmness to the daily life. Once a person has reached that point of contentment, time can seem to slow a bit, so yeah agree with that statement! Also the lilac bushes are fantastic, we have a bunch in my area as well, too bad they don't bloom long enough, but they always back the next season! Enjoyed the content good sir! Hillary and yourself are great!! See ya next time!
I can relate to the frustration of watching a newborn trying to get its first meal. I've gotten a little better as I've gotten older, but still, I understand. I agree with you having calves at the time of year that you do, not too early. Not too late.
I love all your video, everyone has so much to offer. It just means we all have to look for that in each video, I feel bad for those who can't see between the lines. Please keep up the awesome work and videos.
i think this was a great video! I am almost 70 done with managing work and taking care of the house + small garden. Without my hubby helping..He is in love with his recliner at 77. I am trying to make chicken soup today, cook down some high-bush cranberries from Wisconsin and 2 loads of laundry. That's enough., The rest will have to wait!.
I have never forgotten what our Minister said about my grandfather after he passed away. He said the thing he remembered most about him was that he was so contented with his station in life. I have tried to be the same way and have found it to be a very comfortable position.
Contentment……I couldn’t agree more. We have been retired from the business of business for 8 years now. Before retiring we bought our small house in the southern PNW at the ocean. We garden and putter around on our own time. We are truly in the happiest and the most content phase of our lives. We left the “KINGDOM OF THING-DOM” far behind and live with far less stress and stuff. Thank you for always bringing a sense of peace and solitude to us. Bless you and the family.
another amazing video. I would just like you to know Pete that you have my dream life and farm, nothing big, nothing to small, just right. thanks for giving me a slice of my dream
Like this video with the baby’s and lush green grass..I watch a ton of garden videos so I would love a lot of your update as you both bring back what you love to do! My hope is you would make millions..All the Best!
I love the feeling I'm left with after your videos. I'm so relaxed and peaceful afterwards. Taking time to smell the flowers is definitely definitely worth it. Thanks for sharing your day and I'll see you later.
