It was a beautiful day to head outside. / Spring Yard Cleanup and Grocery Haul / Mobile Home Living 

Milo and the pups are darlings.. they know that they are loved. You all are animal lovers like me.😊

Just my opinion but I think a small tractor would be an asset, plowing, tilling, snow removal, field and brush removal😊

Dead trees need to be removed & all that wood will provide heat this winter. Loved seeing all your boys outside watching the tree come down! I am happy you'll be working outside for awhile. Love your property & excited to see all the improvements going on.

Grocery hauls are one of my favorite videos to watch, cooking to see what other people make for dinner and then decorating. But yours are one of my favorites. I just love your videos. I can't wait for them to come out..

Love your videos Valerie. The property is beautiful and those gorgeous sunsets. Milo is so sweet.

I’ll love you and your family’s mountain adventures! Your property is gorgeous as well. I also love the way you do your grocery hauls. God bless 🙏🏼🙌🏻

Oh my goodness Valerie, the way Milo fearlessly ran after you to the barn to protect you .😅😅

You're very good stewards of your land and I just loved watching all the action happening! I love spring and it is going to be a wonderful one with lots of new things happening! I am very excited about getting out in my yard and getting lots of limbs cut, composting my little flower bed, and spring planting! A tractor would be a huge help to y'all there now and for your long range plans. Gosh it's great to see Tim and Milo having such fun! Looked to me like you enjoyed mowing down that garden/pasture area too! And it is never too late to reach for those dreams! And speaking of food!! I made your lasagna and it was SO delicious! I also purchased the deep Pyrex pan you had to make it in! Thanks for that wonderful dinner suggestion! Have a wonderful week!

I'm waiting for the kitchen reno, can't wait for that! ...Thanks for the vid!

Now is a good time to rake up all that was mowed down. Looks like a lot of carbon for the compost pile. You layer it with green things and brown stuff. Kitchen scraps, egg shells, green things in the yard you cut down, grass clippings, and chicken poop. You scratch the dirt and water it a little, add your brown stuff (carbon), lightly moisten, add some nitrogen stuff (green things), lightly moisten, add another layer of brown and keep repeating, like lasagna. Compost happens. I am a master composter. Our waste disposal company gave a six week, four hour course. It was fantastic. 😊

I like the music in your videos. Everything is perfect. That stream was beautiful

That property will keep you young!!!!!

Hi Valerie! I would be lost in the grocery store without a list! It's a shame that you have to clean up the nonsense someone left behind. I applaud how you folks just take it all in stride and keep it moving. I wish you every blessing as you work to make your place the farm you always wanted.

I love Milo's coloring. He's such a handsome cat.

Follow your dreams Valerie, what you have accomplished is great looks so much better.

The view of the sunset behind the mountains is incredible. I would be cutting down all those trees ones there in front of the mountains 🏔️

As always, an awesome video, Milo is so precious love. Watching your videos. God bless.❤❤

You both have worked hard, it shows!

It was so sweet that Milo followed you to the barn.

A wood splitter was one if our best investments. We were able to prepare and clean up wood that had been sitting around for a few years all because splitting it with an ax is hard work when you get older.

You and your husband work so hard to make your dream come true.

My mom and dad were just shy of their 50’s when they moved onto a 10 acre homestead. Dad had spent 8 years building a beautiful mid$century modern home. I was a new high schooler, but I remember mowing, picking fruit, planting flower beds and vegetable patches. Lots of work, but we loved it. You’ve got this.

That Milo so sweet. Tim behind the flag doing what he was doing he’s so fun to watch he cracks me up every time!!! You r at least starting your yard work and the grocery haul . I loved every thing you posted. Y’all are just down to earth., sweet people sooooo glad I found you . The sunset wow it’s beautiful …. Can’t wait till your next video!!!!

Better late than never to follow your dreams. We got our dream home in our late 60s. Sometimes, it bothers me that we couldn't get it sooner, but we love it so much, and im continually reminding myself. We've been here a few years now and can no longer do much physical labor. Luckily, we were able to do most of it before that happened. Now we hire help when we need it. I'm so glad you followed your dreams. ❤

Tim has really accomplished a lot on your property, very impressive. Happy for you, Tim, and your two boys.

Just a beautiful video. I love spring time.

Great video

Wow! That is some food haul! I buy for 2 people and I want to faint at the food prices. Nice to be able to buy want you want instead of worrying about prices. Can’t imagine what feeding 6 people cost! I just love your videos! What a great Mom and wife you are! I’m tired just watching you!

Love seeing the video today! You have a great piece of property with lots of potential. I live on a farm about 80 acres in NC and have cows and goats. One step at a time. I think you are doing well .

Milo is such a sweet kitty and he is just gorgeous. Your bunny flag is so cute. LOL, Tim is such a character. I admire how hard you and Tim work, and how well you work together and help each other. Heartwarming. What an amazing view you all have, sun setting over the mountains.

Do you ever wear out ???😮 I can’t believe how much energy you have! I will take a nap for you! 😂😂❤❤❤❤

Hi Valerie, That Bunny Flag is adorable 😍

Thanks for the grocery haul. It gives me ideas.

Oh beautiful lady you have a beautiful picture of the mountains and the waterfall my goodness I love both of them. God bless you 🙏❤️

Hey Val & Tim and Family..Your Creek is beautiful and your property is amazing !! God Bless you Guys!!❤❤⭐️🌟🌈☀️🌼🌸🌺🌹🌷🍄💐

👋😊 enjoyed watching you shop Valerie 😊 thanks for taking the time to show us prices and the product. You put the time in your videos. Appreciated ❤. You're videos are always fun to watch and see what's next 🌻

Hello Valerie and your wonderful family and the beautiful beautiful fur babies you shop like I do Valerie 😀😀I shop for the whole month I hate grocery shopping can’t wait for your gardens and animals show up ❤️❤️🙏🙏👍👍🥰🥰🥰🐈🐕🐕

Ah, yes, the work never ends at THE OLD HOMESTEAD. Ah, the 🌄🏞️views‼️

I knew Tim was going to dance behind that Easter flag. Y’all are a lot of fun! 🤗😆

🌻

Y'all sure are hard workers. It looks like a pretty day to be working outside. I really enjoy watching your videos.

Every spring we have so many limbs and branches to clean up - we do huge burn piles - and pay to remove any dead trees- Tim is getting very used to videos now lol

I would definitely BUY a tractor Valerie & Tim, on land like yours I think you will find tons of uses for it. Especially as you age the practically of it will pay for itself. Just my opinion. Great video, beautiful scenery as always. Thank you! Watching from Michigan…Kim

I do the same grocery haul, but everything is great value brand...

My phone is all nutty.. Your property is stunning!! I can't wait for your dream to become reality!. You are such hard workers,you deserve the best.😊 What a haul!😮. Milo is adorable.👍🤗💞

Always love seeing sweet sweet Milo, he is so happy. We were in our late 40's when we took on our country acres, the land was so over grown in places so much that we didn't realize we could see the lake from our home site(we bought a manufactured home) the farm house had burned down. Our barn was on its last leg so we had a pole barn built when the barn literally blew down. I wouldn't trade a days work on our homestead for a fancy rich place I love every minute including some back breaking days out here. I love my feathered girls and boys and my goats and now just down to one old horse who is 35 yrs old. We had 5 to start with. I also am a nurse but just work PRN, mostly retired. I love watching your videos and look forward to them. Give cute sweet Tim a hug and the boys also to Tim's momma. God Bless y'all. You property is awesome, don't work too hard.❤

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Tim is so funny,Lol 🤣😃🤣

Heres a tip. They put the fresher bread and produce to the back. So they can sell the older stuff first. Just check the dates. ❤

Love watching your videos Valerie, you and Tim are doing a great job , certainly not too old ❤️☘️

Oh My, this haul has made me nervous, the total bill could make one pass out!

Hello Valerie and Tim!!! I could.sit and listen to that creek every day!! It is beautiful. We have a Spring fed creek around our home we love it. But it doesn't have your beautiful rocks!!! Little Milo is a joy to watch!!! And Tim putting up that flag and making those funny faces was so funny!!! I just love yall!!! When I saw your video post today I knew I'd watch it today at work on my lunch break!!! I did and enjoyed it so much!!! The scenery around your home is breathtaking. With everything yall do it gets so pretty. Those mountains are so pretty!!! Have a fantastic weekend!!! Take care God bless!!!

Your husband cracks me up he is o funny but your grocery bill must be sky high looking at the price of thing.xx

I enjoyed the grocery haul!!

Hope you know about the snakes in Virginia!😮 by the creeks and such.

Put your boots and gloves on watch for the snakes.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful!!!!!!....sky.... Love the way you do your grocery haul...you work so hard. Maybe when school is out the boys can help more..would love to see what you do with your storage house..keep posting and God bless

We live in Florida but also have a house with 37 acres in Georgia. We got a tractor and we get so many uses from it. Only regret we didn’t get one with a bucket on the front…..would be so useful. One day!

Loved the shopping haul....hope you'll do more.

I would go bankrupt on your grocery haul. 😂

❤

I love french vanilla coffee creamer too!

I love spring and yard cleanup time. Helps me get back in shape and trim down from all the good food I ate during cold weather months. Love planting my veggie garden a flowers . My chickens love to wander the yard as I clean up, they find all kinds of snacks. Love how y’all have improved your place. It’s going to be beautiful when you are finished.

Yall need to rent a log splitter for all that wood until you can buy one. Beautiful view of the mountains though!

I think I saw a moose behind the hello spring flag. lol

We are never too old to start living our dreams. I wish you and your family lots of success! I envy your courage to start and your property. 🥰 It is beautiful….

Every thing looks good Your videos are amazing wish you would do more They make me happy 😄

Wanted to say thanks. Your channel gives me peace. I love you ❤and your cat Milo . Lost mine three years ago , she was on her 20 s, i grew up with her. Each time i see milo i think about Luli, that was her name

High 5 to you, Valerie, on your mowing skills! Looks so nice after you mowed. Your property is perfect for a small farm. You'll get there. Slow & steady wins the race!

I live in Roanoke, Va. I love and enjoy the BLUERIDGE Mountains, they are beautiful, especially in the FALL! You will so enjoy your views of the Mountains.

Tractors are n excellent investment - they don’t depreciate with time- they hold thier value- I thought I saw some old hay rings back there- those would be good for your animals

I hope your boys appreciate what you are doing for the future lives. You are so lucky to have this. I am sure you worked hard to get this land and house. Some people just don't understand how important what you are doing in this life.

We have 6 acres in East Texas..we're in our 60s..just payed off Our land 😊

Its a beautiful day to do cleaning and enjoy the weather while doing it. Perfect experience

My goodness! You guys are kicking butt! Are you ever going to get to both sit out on the deck together and just relax with your favorite beverage, soaking in all the beautiful scenery? I sure hope so! Would love to see that! Lol! Bless your ❤s!

Hello from near Richmond, VA. I love Southwest, VA. My family is from that area of VA. Give me the mountains any day! PLEASE wear some gloves! I'm afraid you will be bitten by a spider in all of that debris you are picking up. We are already seeing copperhead snakes around here! I've always wondered if Tim worked in construction before this. He sure seems to know how to do everything regarding remodeling/electrical/drywall/painting. Blessings to all of you.

Hi Valerie and Tim! Another wonderful video, I loved it! I like to watch the changes in yard makeovers. The big stumps left behind would be nice planters just cut some of the middle out, add dirt, and plant flowers! I can't wait to see what you have planned for the land. I also shop at Walmart for groceries. I only have to shop for me and my husband now. My 3 kids are grown and have their own families. The cost of food is so high now I don't really enjoy shopping. You are doing a great job! From Becky in Kentucky 🐰

🌺👍👍🌺

WOW WHAT A AWSOME SUNSET OF THE MOUNTIANS THAT WOULD NEVER GET OLD FOR ME OR THE SUNRISES AND HOT CUP OF COFFEY

You guys got a lot accomplished. The place looks so much better with all those old weed stalks down. You can plant about anything you want there with all that room. You can raise your own sweet potato’s and white potato’s. Also veggies and things like strawberries and squash, just all kinds of thing. My mom and dad use to raise all kinds of veggies and had fruit tress and where I’m from in Ky all kinds of berries and even blue berries on bushes. You are going to have a very nice place when you finally get through with it. Which of course there will always have something to do. Lol Take care and I’ll see you in the next one.

I know one thing y'all sure do have a beautiful place.,I love Tim with his hat on he really looked like a mountain man.,thank you for sharing your video with us today, until next time God bless you and your family.❤

You place is so pretty. Y'all have come so far. It it done while your still fairly young. Your boys and your life style will takevyou through...hugs

So excited to see the clean up of your beautiful property! And I look forward to see your plans for the garden, chicken coop, goat area, etc. I'm living my dream through you,Valerie! Tim is so funny. Looks like he's enjoying creating the videos with you. Y'all are such a cute couple and great team!

Owning is the right way to go- but debt is bad. The Lord says the borrower is the slave to the lender. Save up for one!!!

Valerie you and Tim will enjoy working on yalls homestead . Really coming along . Thanks for sharing ❤

Great video! Love all the beautiful views on your property so peaceful! Excited to see all the things you and Tim create on your property. Milo is the sweetest cat! Have a great week.

❤ as always I enjoyed your video you and Tim always seem to work great together I love working outside too can't wait to see more have a blessed day

I'm so happy for you and your family. To have your dreams come true and have a homestead in the country how sweet. GOD Bless you.🙂

i got no notification for this one , i just happened to check ,has seems ages since i seen you , really enjoyed the watch and great shopping haul

Oh my my my , just like my Mom would say. Big basket for family with three boys . You two are living our dreams and we enjoy watching you being young and vigorous. Savor every minute. Plz know we are nothing but thrilled for you . Thank you so much……. You are helping couples learn what hard work means . Bless you all ❤!

I'm with you Valerie, I'm too picky about my fruit, vegetables, and meats to have someone else shop for me.

Ohhh, the scenery is georgeous! That stream and the babbling brook gets me every time! Thanks for bringing us on your journey. You & Tim are such hard workers, God bless you and your family!

There's not enough money to get me to do the lawn,I will plant flowers, but it ends There, good luck ,I would buy the tractor !!!

I shop online and go thru pick up at walmart. Saves time and money. I love it! ❤😂😎

Love your channel..your husband is so funny 😂

At the log cabin your cart had a good $250, here in Baltimore it would be ( insert sad face). Prices are insane...

I buy many of the same items you do.We love the cinnamon applesauce with extra cinnamon on top.I adore the sweet chili Doritos with onion dip or sour cream too.I mix up two different Stove tops flavors with onions,celery and pecans to doctor up for the holidays.I always use a cup of OJ then the rest is water.The stuffing has that tang.I'm gonna marinate some asparagus and roast it then save some for my cream of asparagus soup.

Hello Valerie Tim & family,your home & property will be lovely when you & Tim are done.It is a work in progress.Take care & have a nice week!❤️

I can SMELL THE FRESH AIR!.ICK to discarded furniture. The goldenrod would kick my allergies into high gear. That's a lot of food for your BIG HUNGRY family! Another FUN REFRESHING video from your homestead! ALWAYS A JOY!!❤

Love love love your videos. Got to admit your grocery shop was a bit of a shock - so any huge sizes & procesed foods.I live in England & my trolley is filled with mostly fresh items for the fridge. No pantry for storage here. American food is so very different- but i love watching you shop & cook. Also i rarely see a trolley here without tea! Prices do seem expensive - especially salt!
