Thanks to all who have served and lost their lives, to their families who mourn their loss of their loved one and even knowing that Memorial Day is for the ones loss, we also think of who are serving, you are appreciated!🇺🇸
God bless your horses, cows, bulls, heifers and ponies at LHL for beating down a path over the spillway. I hope this is the perfect structure to keep your pond alive and with that, keeping your and Jami's hopes and dreams for Longhorn Lester's alive. I know this is going to be a huge and costly project. I also know you would be against people giving you money to help with the repairs and changes to the pond. If some people do send money earmarked for the pond please just accept it graciously on behalf of all your babies who love the pond. Everyone already knows your feelings about gifts and money. Lester you are a giver. You are providing hay for your folks, siblings, niece and nephews, and for yours and Jami's Ima Survivor Donkey and Farm Animal Sanctuary. You gave a tractor to your dad complete with a cab and a tractor to Jake and I'm sure there's more but right now I can't think of who else you've gifted. You're a good man Lester. If some of your followers want to give money toward your project just be thankful for all your amazing and loyal followers. God Bless
thanks to all those that served and lost their lives, Memorial Day is tough for everyone - Prayers to all. And Lester- I like the new pond layout. Much better
I appreciate and honor those who served to protect us here at home in America. God bless these men and women who never lived to return home. I can't wait for to watch the progress on the pond. Your / their plan sounds like it should work. Much love.
I had an uncle whose plane was shot down in the Pacific during WWII & he died, another Uncle was on the beach at Normandie on day 2 , drove a tank & was in the Battle of the Bulge he had PTSD, another uncle was in the Pacific on a destroyer but was OK. These were a brother in law & brothers. My father was the youngest brother & was only able to enlist if he wasn't sent to combat. He served in the Army Air Corp in Alaska, testing B-29 bombers. That is an amazing plan for the pond! It really makes sense to stop using that spillway & changing the low place in the pond! I wondered why thankfully, the spillway didn't completely collapse. Thank you to the horses, donkeys & cows for that trail that saved the day!!!! Thank you to all of the brave men who saved the world in WWII. Bless all the men & women who have served in more recent conflicts & especially those who were greatly wounded & those who gave their lives. We don't know how blessed we are to have these people in our country. Freedom, is not free!
I am a military brat born and raised. Today is for my dad who has passed. He served in two military campaigns. Korea and Vietnam. He was honored with a 21 gun salute at his funeral. I come from a long line, generations of military service, all the why back to the revolution war.
Good afternoon ☕❣Thanks, Jami you made it perfectly clear and it makes sense. Thanks too the biggs for making the walking path and saving the pond🤙🏻Still, sending positive thoughts and prayers, for the BEST OUTCOME 👌
Thank you to those Gold Star families! I know words cannot replace your loved ones, but know that we are eternally grateful for their and your sacrifice for our country! On another note, this sounds like a good plan for the pond! Praying that this is a final fix and these men have the skills to make it so. ❤
They are really making some progress already I am so impressed Blessed Memorial Day everyone. The plan makes perfect sense to me. Thank you to the horses, longhorns and donkeys for saving the pond.
Amazing how the animals saved the dam !!! It came so close to going!!! That walking track compacted the ground so much it saved the pond!! The new plan sounds promising and I hope it will be the answer for you this time. ❤❤❤
Sending my Thoughts and Prayers to all the Gold Star Families. Very impressed with this company to be working on Memorial Day. Praying for no more problems with the pond but the way Jami explained it hopefully that will solve this problem 🙏.
To those who gave all, may all of us say 'Thank you'. I know it's not a profound statement, but how do you thank those who gave their lives for us?? May your families find peace in the coming days and years. And thanks to you Lester and Jamie for the love and respect you show for all the military, police and firemen, God Bless. As for the pond, I'm shocked that so few animals could compact the soil so much in such a short time. I'm very excited to see this new plan make a difference!!!
Who would have thought that the animals would have saved the pond. I do hope this is the last time you have to repair the pond. It makes sense what they are doing. Thank you to all that served and are serving in our armed forces. They truly gave and are giving the biggest sacrifice. Be safe. ❤😊❤
And we can all dance with Lester again because there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Give all the horses and the “little horses” plus the cows an extra feed of treats for their hard work in saving the property! 😊
Being a Gold Star wife (and sister) has been an honor. My husband laying his life down for his country was an honor for him. He never had any regrets. He was a Vietnam vet and was affected by Agent Orange. I sure miss him. My brother died in vietnam in 1968. He was drafted and to be honest didnt want to go there. I miss them so much.
This sounds like a great plan. They are mamking some progress already. Im looking forward to seeing results every day. I hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day. I guess its not that nice for the men and women who have lost their lives . I know the Gold Star families are thinking of there loved one or ones who lost there lives and never came home. Prsyers for all of you.❤
Honor to all who gave their life to keep our country free and the families left behind. Lester, totally get what is happening with the pond and glad ya'll have found a solution ❤❤
Thanks first to God who with the livestock saved the spillway. Thanks to every human who helped save the world. This includes the Resistance fighters. God is good. God was there and still is. 🙏
Thank God Jami has took control of this project and no more waisting money, nor the safety of the animals! I totally understand! The water will flow slower, has more of an area to slow down!
Today is the day to honor all who served. A gold star family is someone who lost a family member while they were on active duty. My brother was in the armed forces and he proudly wore his uniform but he wasn't killed in active duty, He lost his life while he was gone for his two weeks training they had to do every year.
I believe Memorial Day is for those that served and lost their lives. Veterans Day is for those that are serving and served. I served and am a Veteran. People might observe it differently but that’s generally what those days are. I’m sorry for your loss.
Happy Memorial Day and thanks to all those that have given the ultimate sacrifice. Looking forward to the daily updates on the pond. So happy the cows, donkeys, horses and that little pony had a part in saving the pond. They deserve extra treats.
For all the gold star 🌟 families, your sacrifice was enormous to our freedom, may the Lord, always bless and keep you in rememberance of the sacrifice your family gave...peace be with you...🙏🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲🙏❤👩🦽
I’m glad it getting taken care of “ POND” I’m sure you’ve gotten the right ppl that knows what they are doing. You can only hope and pray this works for you. Jami thanks for explaining this to us all! The pond is so beautiful it set the ranch off … 🙏🏻👍🤩
You guys are doing a wonderful job taking care of all the animals giving them their best lives. So happy that the horse cows donkeys ponies saved the dam by their walkung path. You guys always do your best and research all projects. The amount of water and rain that you've had has been astronomical. Noone could foresee the future of the pond. Thank you God that the issue is being resolved. Great job Lester on your cattle guard which has withstood all the rain run off. Thanks for making the world a better place and sharing your journey. Love you guys. Hope that you are getting some rest. Can you please have Uriel or Ben or enen Jake and LE help with the horse mats at J&L. You have a shoulder injury. Jami is recovering from her accident....please please you can get the help with this task. Im worried that you will end up with a injury.
I think this is a brilliant idea to alter were the overflow from the pond is directed…to build up the original dam wall so the water can no longer flow over the spillway… ❤
Hey - sounds like a plan! It makes sense to me that they’re going to re-direct the path of the water. I’ll be anxious to see the progress. Hopefully this time’s the charm!
Good morning 🌻 Instead of saying “Happy Memorial Day” we should be saying have a “Grateful Memorial Day”. 🇺🇸💔 I am a Gold Star Mom , my son was KIA 18JUL06 , he will be Forever Young at the age of 25. Looking forward to seeing your new pond. Both you & Jami work so hard and never give up ~ that’s tenacity !
Happy Blessed Day,Lester & Jami! I honor Gold Star Families today & thankful for the sacrifice made so we can watch this video today!: May I recommend this: On Sunday, NASCAR salutes Honor & Remember every year prior to the Coca-Cola 600! It is the most beautiful, heart-stirring pre-race acknowledgment! If you are not a NASCAR fan, that is OK. Tune into the beginning! Also,midrace,all cars will come to pit road for a moment of silence that brings tears to your eyes! God Bless y'all & enjoy the day!
Lester if you look at Jason's pond at cog Hill, they have a huge dam most of the way around their pond. ❤ Thanks to all the animals who packed the spill way.
It is amazing the amount of people that do not know what Memorial Day stands for. It is not to thank our veterans for their service, that is Veterans Day. Memorial Day is I Memory of those service people that were killed while serving. They made the ultimate sacrifice. There is nothing happy about it. To hang your flag out in honor of those that died in combat!
Thank you to all who served and pd the ultimate sacrifice. May God bless the families of those. Sounds like Jami n Lester have a excellent plan cant wait to see the final product. Much love and respect 💛
If ever there was a couple who deserve things to work out it's you Lester and Jami. It's not the money you've invested in this place, it's the blood sweat and tears, the suffering you went through because you wanted so badly to protect your babies from the power of water and keep them safe and dry. The fear and dispair every time you looked at the spillway. Yet you've never given up. You've always kept trying and kept looking for a solution. Well now it looks like you've found one and you so deserve it to work. You've earned it. Thank you for your clear explanation Jami and thanks to the bigs for saving the spillway. Lester and Jami you're the best and I wish you the best because you deserve the best. ❤❤❤
Thankfully someone who seems to actually knows how to resolve the pond issue. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this will never cause an issue again and that the pond will stay just as it should with all its beauty and all its wonderful recreational fun for not only the animals but for the entire Morrow family as well. Memorial Day is truly one of the most somber of our holidays as it is to honor all our military who has paid the ultimate sacrifice for their beloved country and there is no sacrifice which could ever be considered to be greater than this. God Bless all the Gold Star families who have lost their loved ones for this cause.
Hi Lester and Jami, it is a shame the original design was not up to the task. In Australia I noticed on my many outback adventures that none of the dams have spillways like yours.they all have them on the side closest to the lay of the land, exactly like yours will be once finish. I’m so glad you changed the design. I can’t wait to see it finished and working properly.big thanks to the Cows,Horses and Donkeys for saving the pond for you.❤️❤️❤️
Thank you from someone who lost a cousin in Iraq when his Humvee was taken out by an IED leaving his young wife a widow and their two small children fatherless. Every male in our family has served in the military,but Jason was our first loss since the Spanish/American war. Guess the odds caught up with our family.
Bless all of the families that lost loved ones. They gave their lives to protect our freedom. I understand the concept and not that it matters but agree with you.
It's just so poetic and beautiful that it was actually the animals that saved the pond from collapsing. If that's not mother nature showing she's not so bad after all, I don't know what is. Thank you for letting us know what's happening and thank you for a lovely video 💜
I'm so happy for you that the spillway held until repairs could be made. Let's just all hope and pray this is the final time you have to worry about this.
My grandfather served in WW1, his 3 sons (my father and 2 uncles) served in WW2. Thankfully all survived. God bless and comfort all of the families who lost loved ones serving our country.❤
Wow exciting news about the pond fix. I pray this plan works. My heart skipped a beat when you and Jami walked across that broken spillway. I hope one day you will be able to build your forever dream home at the JL ranch where the land is flat with no erosion or grass issues. Imagine having all your animals together on one property like Snead Farm does. God bless your family.
HEY Lester ❤ Happy Memorial Day 🇺🇸 and thank you to all the Gold Star Families. The pond is going to be great. Love y'all and God bless you and your family and all the animals and feather's 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Ooooo, that's going to be AWESOME 👌 👏 👍 😍 I'm so happy for y'all ❤ I've been worried about first the Longhorn's especially Tex, he is so dang big and heavy if that would have broken loose not just Tex, but anyone of the cows!!!! It was a miracle that Tex finally got into that dang trailer FINALLY 🙌 🙏 👏 BUT THEN: Came the horses 🐎... I must admit that I was really nervous about them. Especially Rita she's a young spirited little girl and her running around with Stormy. They are gorgeous but BIG HEAVY animals and either them or Tex wouldn't survive if that pond gave way with them on top of it. You guy's are are so blessed that you found the JL property (THANKS STEPH😊) IT all fell into place just in time for the animals to get to a beautiful grassy pasture and a very safe place for them to go... All of the new fencing and barns with clean water. Like I said you the Horses and Cows are truly blessed. And I'm so happy for you ❤ I can't wait for the construction on the pond to be finished and you get grass growing around it. It's going to be Gorgeous... Keep all animals out of that pasture until you get good thick grass growing there. I know Jami will miss her babies BUT they are safe and one of y'all are over there daily, so take your time it will all be worth it in the end... GOD BLESS YOU ALL❣️❣️❣️
It’s going to look and be amazing!! Hearing Lester saying Love to Jami ❤❤❤❤ priceless. That’s got to be the best pet name. She may not tell you but I’m sure she noticed each time ❤❤❤❤
For some reason, when I watched this video yesterday, I didn't see the drone footage, but I thoroughly understood what Jami was saying about the fix, and it hit me "Of course!" I had not thought of changing the path of the water or essentially putting the spillway somewhere else. I think that is a brilliant idea. It will take the pressure off of that area of the pond. I think it's genius, and I pray it works! I have a lot of hope that it will.
I'm praying so hard that this solution finally works out for y'all. I still love Vickery for all they have done and still do . I know it had to break his heart when the storms washed all that work away. Like you said Lester , they are not dam people and really did try . God Bless All of our Fallin heros and Lester & Jami 💯🙏❤🇺🇸
This bunch would be great to ask about fixing the water runoff problem around the horse barn while they’re there. I really like their thinking. They seem very knowledgeable. ❤❤❤
I think that's what is called an excavator, Lester, but, yes, that is a decent size. I hope the changing of the flow works ❤😊. Respect to all the 🌟 families out there
It's looking wonderful already. I've always said this and I will continue to say it, you and Jami have always done what's best for the animals. And making the pond and surrounding area safe for the animals is what you're doing. So thank you❤❤❤
First, gratitude to our military, especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice! Gratitude also to all military families, especially our Gold Star families 🙏💛💫⭐🇺🇸 Secondly, thanks Lester and Jami for bringing us into the loop on the Pond Project. From reading the comments over this last year, I know how much worry has been had 😂 and how many prayers have been sent regarding this situation! Your Internet family is very invested in the solution and its so kind of you to take the extra time to keep us posted. Thank you! 😍🌷Janice
Prays for all the families that lost loved ones, we owe them so much. Also pray that this does what you need it to do on the water issue but I'm sure I don't have any idea so good luck.
WOW! Thank God for the animals and their path!!! I actually got goosebumps when Jami was saying that is what saved the pond!! Great drone footage Lester! So glad to see the fix is underway 🙌 Prayers from Georgia ❤❤ Love you both! DJ
Simply Exquisite Lester - This beginning was so beautiful and so moving. I hope all hero’s, past and future, are surrounded by music, as beautiful as you played and forever fly in a place that provides them the scenic serenity that your music and drone footage gave to me. Thank you both for the spillway update. I know it’s not our property and that we are in no way being personally impacted like you are, but I believe we are all so invested in Jami and yourself and the gorgeous, very special place you call home and we truly want to see a permanent solution. We all know you both deserve that - and so much more. Thanks for this video Lester, I found the beginning just breathtakingly. You are honestly, so talented. The visit after was informative and it felt really nice that you included us - Hope you both have a good. ☺️💞
Lester in our part of the country we call machine and excavator.Love the drone video of it and sending 🙏🏻🙏🙏🙏 that this will be the total solution to your problematic pond once and for all.
Saying prayers this is the final and stablized of fix. I cannot wait to see the daily change for the pasture. I think this will be the final build for you and the pond. Good luck. Keeping my🤞🏼for you. Love you guys so much for all the hard work you both have done. Jami i love your gardens❣️❣️
Praying that the pond fix will be the answer to all the prayers. Love the pond area so beautiful and such a peaceful area would be ashamed to loose it as enjoy it so much for family fun and for all your rescues. Thanks for sharing video. Love you guys..
Happy Memorial Day Lester Jamie and to all the famlies that lost family members during the wars.And those of course who lost their lives for their country
