Look at What I Found in Mississippi! 

Hi Brooke, it was great to see you out and about, just remember to not overdo. I’ve lived with two autoimmune diseases for most of my 66 years! My best advice coming from my many years of working, as a nurse in the ER and ICU, raising my daughter and son as a single mother is remember to get lots of rest. I do know taking it easy as a homeschooler and farmers other half is exceedingly difficult, but will help you recover faster. Jason and your videos have lifted my heart, inspired me to make more time to get outside. Your videos have really been a Godsend for me! I love watching you both interact with each other and also interacting with your animals, the love and joy is wonderful to see and is sorely missed in today world. Thank you again for sharing yourselves, your farm and your animals. ❤️🙏

I love the way the dogs are guarding you , gave me a big smile seeing them doing their job.❤

Rocky , Bandit, sticks next to Brooke all the time it's sooooo heartwarming,

Good morning Brooke. You’re looking good this morning. Hope you’re feeling better each day!

Good morning, Brooke and Jason. You look great Brooke. Continued prayers for your healing. Have a wonderfully Blessed day..

WOW! Those gates are beautiful! You look and sound so good,Brooke. But your ideas on the back garden are fantastic. I’m excitedly looking forward to seeing you and Jason accomplish your dreams!

Love those gates!! I'll agree they will look awesome around that garden❤❤ with the boxes being black, those gates are so going to pop! They'll complete it for sure. Love y'all! God Bless

It never ends. Brooke, you tell us you’re not crafty (which you’ve disproved this holiday season). You are creative. The gates are worth the drive to create the beauty you envision.

Every time I see those dogs come up to y'all and ask for loves, it just makes me smile. So much. And that gate - what a great find!!

Oh my goodness Brooke. Your down time ha brought some amazing things for the farm. There are so many things I love about the family, farm, and animals and one of them is the positivity and taking things as they come. You are invaluable with all you do even though I know you want to be out physically working - your brain is consistently bringing all the good things. Y’all be good. 🥰

Awesome plan. Glad you're feeling better today Brooke!!!

Hey Brooke, Here's a thought, you might want to check around your area for a powder coater. They could sandblast the gates and powder coat them in any color you want. Powder coating is applied dry and baked on for a long lasting and nearly maintenance free finish that will be beautiful for many years. The last time I had something powder coated, it wasn't that expensive. Good luck and God Bless!

It is so good to see you feeling better. I love how your creativity. Taking something old and adding its beauty to your gardens.

I have never seen folks take raw property and manifest such a huge vision for it like you two have in such a short time. On a more mundane note, I would use "rust converter" on the gates. It's a liquid you just brush on OVER the rust. It converts all rust to a dark, hard surface that will never rust again. It's cheap and so much easier than trying to remove the rust. You can then paint over it with or leave as is.

The gates will add the perfect finishing touch to your garden. They’re absolutely beautiful. I couldn’t help but laugh seeing Holly walking around with her toy in her mouth. Then hearing the toy squeak in the background. Your animals are so cute and adorable, whom hit the jackpot when they joined your Coghill Farm Family. ❤️🤗 Sheila T

So happy you are doing better. God has you Brooke ❤

Great find, Brooke. They will look good anywhere. They sell a product to remove rust easily.

Y'all are amazing. I'm glad to see Brooks imagination taken off. I wished I had some for the drive that you two have. I live in Mississippi and I saw those gates on market place. Good job getting them. They will look great either place you put them. Glad you are feeling better.

You and Jason have such great vision for your farm. Brooke your voice sounds stronger to me. Glad to see you up and going. BUT take it easy.

Brooke, What a great find! You look good and I pray you continue to be well. I love how Rocky and Bandit come to you for a hand caress from their momma.❤❤

The small single gate would look great in the new rose arch going into the partere garden area! Just my thought!

I’ve been so excited to see your back garden & the silkie cottage! Beautiful gates! Great idea! TYTY for sharing! ❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️

The garden sounds like it will be beautiful. If you plant roses to grow on the fence, it will look beautiful. Glad you are feeling better.

Brooke, you’re quite the visionary! I loved every idea you proposed. The wrought iron gates will be so perfect for y’all’s place. I’m looking forward to that part of y’all’s dream to come true! ❤❤❤

What beautiful gates! That was a good find Brooke. I like your ideas for both places to put them and I’m sure y’all will make a good decision!❤️❤️❤️

I used to restore antique trucks from the 1930s and 1940s and found sand blasting the body and frame was very effective and loads of satisfying fun. You already have an air compressor, all you need is the special little bucket with a hose that comes out from the bottom, a bag of sand, and the nozzle that spits out the sand . I think you will love it and it is great to let the air compressor and sand do all the hard work for you. Great find on the gates!

Brooke, I am so excited about your new finds for the farm! The instant I saw the smaller gate, the protégé garden was the 1st thing to come to mind ❤ I know iron is a lot more upkeep, but I just love them & think they will be a beautiful addition to your farm ❣️ You're amazing & I just love your tenacity. 🫂

Hi Brooke and Jason. What a find those gates will fit in wherever you put them. Can’t wait to see wherever they go. Enjoy your Sunday take care God bless 🙏💕

I love that all of your ideas and designs and always so tasteful. There isn’t anything that is messy or chaotic. It all is just pleasing to the eye. ❤❤

Brooke!!! What a fabulous find! Boy,you did good girlfriend ! The coastal Alabama gal loves all of your ideas with your beautiful gates! ❤

Great find Brooke! The gates are beautiful, and wherever you decide to put them will look awesome. You look really well and I hope you continue to get better and while you may not have the physical strength for some things, you have a good vision and designer's eye to make your farm a beautiful place! Love and prayers to you all!

Brooke, so glad you are feeling better. The gates are beautiful. I know wherever you decide to use them will be beautiful. God bless you with continued good health. God bless the Smith family. ❤🙏❤🙏❤ 🎅🤶🧑‍🎄🌲

Brooke, I don’t believe I have ever commented on this channel before, but those gates….. WOW!!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I may be jumping the gun here coz I haven’t even watched the entire video, but I can’t wait to see what you do with these. What ever it will be, I bet it will be beautiful. God loves you and your family. Jesus died for you all. May God continue to bless each and every one of you. Merry Christmas. 🎄🎄🎄

Brooke, you and Jason are visionaries. You are always thinking about the future and how you can make it better and more sustainable and beautiful for your family and your future. Awesome!

Fantastic video and what a wonderful farm you have. I sure hope Mary Carl wants to stay on the farm because what you are building is not just for one generation, but many to come! I love all your ideas! I think you are going to have to find more beautiful gates. Lol!

Brooke, such beautiful finds. So happy for another good day. Prayers for continued recovery 🫶. The fun continues. Changes are coming and the excitement is in your voices 💖. Blessings to Cog Hill 🙏🫶🙏🫶💕

The gates are beautiful! The single gate would look so pretty at the entrance of the arbor. Your property is going to be amazing when it's all done.

Brooke no matter what you do with the gates they will be a nice asset to your farm. Loved seeing Rocky and Bandit as they are a great find as well. Wishing you and yours a wonderful week ahead. God Bless for what y'all do in bringing happiness to others.

Brooke, what a great find! Gates would look great around your potager garden! The black gates would look lovely with the dark bed borders and the house trim. Apiary garden is another great idea! Can't wait to see what you do!😊

The gates are gorgeous and will be gorgeous no matter where you use them. Brooke, the boys love you so much. They had to have your attention. Remember, they were such tiny puppies when they were discarded-and you rescued them and then saved Rocky’s life! Super Brooke to the rescue. ❤

I can see those gates looking gorgeous regardless of where they are located! The whole property is coming along beautifully!

Great find Brooke!! I love old iron fences like that. I'm sure it will be beautiful wherever you decide to put it.

I love your vision of your farm! You have been planning and tweaking as you go and it is wonderful. What a great find and great journey for your farm! Again, your creative side, Brooke, is amazing!🤗💖

Those gates are BEAUTIFUL..what a great find! I can't wait to see where you decide to put them. You are so lucky with your marketplace finds. Glad to see you feeling better..I hope they sort out your health issues. ❤

It's going to be beautiful, Brooke. I'm so happy that you seem to be feeling better. It was a joy to see the dogs all hanging around with you, and Holly is hilarious with her toy.

Good find Brooke!! I’m sure where ever you & Jason decide to put those gates they will be beautiful!! 💝🙏

Hello Brooke. I love listening to your ideas. I wish you, Jason and MaryCarl a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.❤️🌻🎄

Love the gates and your plans for them. It’s unbelievable just how much you have accomplished in just a couple of years ❤❤❤

What Beautiful Gates! Such possibilities. Brooke you are the undisputed Queen of marketplace shopping. I Love it!

Your property is my dream. I will live vicariously through your development and design and dreams❤

Love, love, love the gates. You have a good eye for design, Brooke.❤

Oh,Brooke this is so great. We had a neighbor give us Aluminum 6 ft high fencing (12, 8ft sections) we were so happy to expand or goat and pig cage. I am so happy for you all. I remember the feeling. Pluse My kids put them up. Lv and Prayers to all. Merry Christmad.

Wowsers! All the gates are very impressive! I had a friend that found a busted portion of an old metal gate. He set it in concrete and utilized it as a trellis. It was beautiful. Of course your gates will be functional so that's even better.

I bought similar gates but mine are more gothic. I just wire brushed them and used a good rust primer before painting them. they still look pretty good eight years later

Oh, those gates were definitely worth the wait ❤ You can't go wrong wherever you place them. Just beautiful ❤️. OXOXO to you and all your family and animals ❣️

Love how your ideas for the farm are always evolving. ❤❤❤

Good morning ❤ .. good night from me in Australia 🇦🇺 it’s 11.15 pm here . I love all of your videos Brooke , praying for you to get great news with your health issues.😊

Beautiful gates. Can't wait to see them up and in use! Brooke, its amazing what you find. You do have an artistic eye.

Omg what a find Brooke you and Jason will make them beautiful and use them for sure 🐐🐄🦆🚜🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐝🌻

Brooke, so glad you're feeling better. You are absolutely a Marketplace ninja! 😁❤️ Can't wait to see what you end up doing with the gates!

Those gates are fantastic! Wire brush the rust off, then spray paint them. They will be beautiful. A perfect addition to a protégé garden. The perfect place to sit and relax. Brooke you are amazing! 🙂🎄

It’s so fun to watch and listen to you dream about your property and all of the possibilities. Then to watch it all come to fruition over time. Good stuff I say, good stuff. Thank you for taking us along for the ride. 😊❤

Good morning Jason and Brooke. The gates are lovely and a little rustoleum spray will fix them right up! Hugs from N.C..❤

Very pretty! I could totally see the gates out back, like a secret garden. Yes, definitely sand them before painting. If you plant flowers by the bees, will it stop them from pollinating the vegetable garden? Sure would be pretty though!

You can get a rust converter for the gates. You paint it on and it turns the rust black and stops it. Then you can paint over it. You can use the converter for tools, also.

Good morning Brooke.! Merry Christmas.! I'm so glad to see you're feeling better today. You're in my prayers everyday. I know what it feels like to have an autoimmune disease, for 30 years now. "With God all things are possible to them who believe." In Jesus name, amen 🙏🏼🩸🕊️🩸🙏🏼 I love the idea I send those beautiful gates in your protege garden. You'll have such good taste and great style.!

Those gates are beautiful Brooke!! Loving your ideas for them as well. Can't wait to see your dreams to a realty!! Much love to you all.

I just love how excited you are for your farm! You'❤❤ve got the rest of us excited as well! I also love the journey y'all are taking us on. I'm too old and broken to do what y'all do now days so I'm living vicariously through you. This is such a beautiful story unfolding in front of us! I can't thank you enough for taking us all on this journey with you. I hope someday y'all make this into a book and a movie. How cool would that be? God bless y'all. ❤

Awesome find Brooke....wouldn't it be wonderful to have a wrought iron fence in a scalloped style to enclose the protégé garden utilizing the 12 ft. Gates all done in black. I've with ya girl, great ideas...love y'all place and it just keeps getting better and better. Y'all be good!

Absolutely gorgeous gates!! Consider getting them powder-coated for long lasting protection and beauty! It is less expensive than you might think, at least in my area. And, there are a wide variety of colors to choose from.

The gates are beautiful, and buying them in Mississippi I’m sure you got an amazing deal on them !! Great find Brooke I think you have to be the best finder on marketplace for best deals 👏👏👏👏!! Y’all have a great day ! God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈🎄🥗

Hello Brooke those gates are just so beautiful. You were so lucky to have found them. Your property is shaping up to be a show place for sure. Love you all, God bless and take care

How exciting for you guys. I can't wait to see your visions. I noticed something today I hadn't before now. Bandit and Rocky are huge. I thought they were big guys but when they sat there in front of you , look at the size of them. Holy mackerel lol gianormous. :D

I love the gates that you found, they are really going to beautify the protege garden. You are always finding great deals! Have a great day!PS I couldn’t wait to find out what you brought home

Love your plans & all that y’all have accomplished so far. ❤️ Can’t wait to see where your beautiful find ends up!! 👍❤️😁

Beautiful. I love what you guys have accomplished and your plans for the future!

Those are great finds, Brooke. You are a visionary. Awesome ideas. Coq Hill Farm is going to be the jewel of Alabama. You and Jason are trail blazers for future farms. God bless you both with long life to accomplish all your plans and to delight us with the finishing products. Thank you.❤❤❤

Brooke, its fantastic to see you feeling better. And don't you love when you find a treasure that is in need of a new home. Bless you family and Merry Christmas

Yaws farm will be the Bell of the Ball! Prettiest farm around! ❤. Yaw deserve it!

Always classy your ideas Brooke and Jason . Those gates are so beautiful for the fenced in plan for the potager. With roses its going to be quiet a creation. Flowers for the bees what a sight to see. ❤ yall

The dogs idea of a raised bed is different than your idea of a raised bed. They think it’s a bed for resting and napping. The gates are gorgeous. You amaze me in that you were able to load them with all you’ve been dealing with physically.

Hi 👋 Brooke, Jason, and MC. Awesome find on the gates. I am excited to see what you do and where you put the gates. ❤😊

Good day Brooke you certainly have an eye for a bargain ,I love those gates ,the whole property is looking fantastic ,you both have such a beautiful way of making things just work ,I can't wait to see all the roses in bloom one of my favourite flowers ,god bless continued prayers ❤

SCORE! There's obviously a good side to all your "down time"....surfing for DEALS! Pieces like this are what can take spaces up to the next level. Your deal-finding is a talent - never stop.

You find the best stuff for the farm! I'm so glad you are feeling better ! It is looking fabulous! Have a blessed week everyone!

Absolute AWESOME find, Brooke. WOW. So much of your personal touches are what make Cog Hill Farm so gorgeous, well planned and perfect for your home space. Well done ! With the final fencing now visible and getting done you can spend more time on these projects that will so grace the farm with loveliness.

Good morning, Brooke, love the gates. Everything is Come in together, mighty fine.

It has been exciting and a joy to watch this beautiful farm come together. Everything the two of you come up with has been stunning. ❣️

Hi Brooke and Jason. Gates a great find! There was a product I had once (a chemical) that you paint on the rusted part of the metal and it turns it back into metal, then you can paint it. Don’t remember what it was called but you may look into such a product. Know whatever you decide will work out .

Holly is fun to watch

Brooke is the greatest shopper of all time.😊

The gates are beautiful, they will be perfect in the garden. So glad to see you feeling better Brooke. Prayers 🙏 for continued healing.

I love the gates Brooke, can't wait for the time you get to put them in. By the way....how's your beautiful momma?❤

The gates are beautiful. And I love the idea of using them for the apiery garden. PS, the best thing you can do for your health is to continue to do thing that give you joy, like these gates. They obviously gave you joy.

I like the idea of the metal gates being used for the protogea etc gardens best. For the bee area maybe use wooden fencing with wire and still continue the climbing roses. It would be easier to see all the other floral plantings etc there.

Oh my !!! They are gorgeous. Can’t wait to see what y’all have in mind for them.

Those gates look great I can’t wait to see where you decide to put them 🧡😊

Hi Brooke - I am so excited for you and your new project adventure. It will be enjoyable watching it all come together - step by step 😊 ♥️ From Tennessee

Brooke, the gates are an amazing find and your ideas are great. It’s wonderful to see you both so excited. Merry Christmas blessings to you and your beautiful daughter 🎄🎄🎄🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰

I love watching your dreams coming together. You got this!
