That tiny house is wonderful! I would make it a music hangout room for the kids!

[@tedquaker954]

an Awesome American family.... God Bless

[@bostarbird5282]

LB's horse reminds me of Loren Green's horse on Bonanza. Beautiful animal.

[@ThisFarmWife_]

Yes, he does!

[@enjoyingretirement4846]

I would attach the building to your little cabin and have a new bigger kitchen/ dining room.

[@pisom4314]

taste testing is also called quality control!!! i love sweets too!! have a great trip & be safe

[@geralddicarlo3249]

I heard oil, pronounced , "earl," on Maryland's Eastern shore. Obviously not by everybody. By an old timer who lived his life there. Another nice video, Meredith. Simple is awesome.

[@ThisFarmWife_]

Thank you! Earl is definitely a pronunciation

[@denniscastle936]

Same as boil, coil, soil, toil only with out the 1st letter

[@maxinekelly8417]

The houses are looking really beautiful nice to see you all riding together so naturally happy well cared for Austin is like her Daddy has a knack with the horses already. Wesley is turning into a handsome young man. Xxx💙💙💙🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺💙💙💙💙💙

[@nathanalmond8280]

Thanks for sharing the video Meredith. Glad y'all got to ride some. Very nice building. Hope you have a great trip to and from Michigan.

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Meredith, that new little building would make an excellent addition to your home. Like an outside pantry where you can put food storage, and extra appliances....just a thought. Have fun talking at the woman's symposium.

[@rickebberson3830]

Have you ever thought about using the solid rubber curry combs instead of the metal ones? There are many advantages to them, they don't break the hair and you can't scratch their hides. I used them on all of my horses including the show horses

[@ThisFarmWife_]

We have those, I just prefer the metal ones

[@rickmeisch643]

Lady is such a nice dog love her eyes and how she holds her head to be petted. What is the purpose of having Seven alone? She would eat more with other cattle near by.

[@iffykidmn8170]

older larger calves would basically bully him/her

[@ThisFarmWife_]

We don't want to put with older calves yet. There's no where else to put him

[@maxinekelly8417]

Such a nice tiny house. Teenage hang out 💙💙🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍enjoy whatever you choose to do. 💙💙💙

[@alkennedy1124]

It’s a good day when I see❤ a beautiful lady named Meredith, and God gives all people the good days, some more and others see those, and might just want what we have , grace with Jesus,from God,thanks BigAl California.❤

[@ohmbug10]

Yinz got yer earl changed.

[@teresadasilva8773]

LADY smiling at you is soooo precious,

[@theposhmaniac5169]

Yes! Lady is such a gorgeous laughing hound

[@tonylinkkila7617]

I'd move the cabin somewhere on the property where it can be used as a little off-grid weekend getaway rental....People pay good money for the backwoods experience. Trail rides...Farm life... If not...Westley might have some ideas for it....Or it might make a great tack house..Having a place to keep all the tack and all the things you need for shows and such in one place would be a good thing......Keep farmin !!!!!

[@purplechris9480]

I've been in Michigan for 8 years now. Have a safe trip!! I'm in SE, Michigan.

[@nancysimpson4246]

That is sweet that’s like a tiny home. Yeah you can make that into a tiny home.😊 wow I live in Michigan Traverse City that’s probably about two hours from me. Awesome.

[@dmorgan28]

Great video Meredith. That’s a really nice building he gave y’all. 👍❤️

[@jackleachman407]

My daughter lives in Traverse City. It is a beautiful area enjoy yourself.

[@ThisFarmWife_]

Yay!

[@kevinstonerock3158]

It’s Traverse City Michigan. With the weather coming off the Lake I went there one year in winter. There was just a covering of snow when I went to bed and when I woke up there was about 4” more. Traverse City grows a lot of cherries each year. I thought you mentioned there was a favorite spot you liked and if it’s nearby you could have it as an emergency remote shelter in case you needed to get out of the weather. You could even even have a tarp rigged to set up for the horses if they weren’t freaked out standing under it. For all the artificial stuff in non sweetened food it might be healthier with regular sugar since I read a lot of labels. Safe travels!

[@gayledenholm987]

Tiny house would be nice for Wesley to have his own space.

[@theposhmaniac5169]

Heading to a favorite beautiful spot in Michigan. It's one of the top places to go here in a state that has many gorgeous spots! Wish I had known - would've loved to have heard you talk. So sorry, but those brownish cookies looked interesting - sausage patties or furry hockey pucks! LOL. Use that tiny house for Wesley. A young man needs his own space - & he's definitely growing up. Maybe barter for it w a beef or a vacation week in your camper by the river? And those kids should be doing their own laundry by now. They're old enough. Love Lady and her laughing sweet face.

[@ThisFarmWife_]

Well I'm so glad I get to see one of Michigan's top spots, then! Thank you for being here

[@theposhmaniac5169]

@ThisFarmWife_ It's the cherry capital of the state, a lot of excellent wineries are located there, beautiful shorelines and it's bay adjoins Torch Lake : one of the most beautiful lakes in the country w it's famous Carribean blue icy water. Come back w the family! Well worth it!

[@petedepue2751]

I don't write very many comments but I'm from Michigan Traverse City I worked up there one summer I'm closer to Grand Rapids in Lansing halfway between both of them yesterday it was 70° here today is back down in the 40s From Below

[@ThisFarmWife_]

Of course it will get cold as soon as I get there haha. Can't wait to see it!

[@wildwes.]

Spring has sprung in my neck of the woods in Maine it's going to be a great year for those that believe in Jesus Christ the other ones it's not going to be so good

[@user-wx2sn6fv1d]

Being a city guy i enjoy watching how you operate your farm. But I definitely get anxiety with all the clutter and especially all the equipment that you don’t use. God Bless

[@ThisFarmWife_]

I hear you

[@robftzptr4438]

I did the stairs two days ago. Really happy.

[@marty6371]

I just love this family. Austin is becoming a great young lady and Wesley a good young man. We need more kids like these two in this world. So glade my grandkids are good kids I say kids but they are adults now and I have my youngest grandson coming to help me cut trees he is 20 and strong as a mule.

[@pennyhaldeman5626]

I wish I lived closer, I would have loved to come support you. Traverse City is beautiful you will have a great time.

[@ThisFarmWife_]

Thank you!

[@bonniemoore4056]

Beautiful horses and a beautiful family. 🥰

[@MegaBait1616]

I can't believe how quick our kids grow up.... Seeing Austin driving ya makes me feel older :-( stay dry spring around the corner.

[@jamesmainers7814]

Waiting on warmer weather ,,, all flowers coming up,, .. safe for all!!

[@aproudamerican2692]

*It could be Wesleys Man cave.* He's getting old enough to have his own space but close enough to home you can be there for him. We have a tiny house on our property just like that for our son. *It's independence light.*

[@thegraymarlin]

That tiny house is so cute!!! Ant wait to see what you do with it! Have a safe trip! ❤love from south tx❤

[@terrydarow8401]

You could have it made for a mini barn for horses or use for a little shack to get away from things and sit and have quite time to pray and read a Bible love u guys ❤

[@wendyrowland7787]

It could be a good idea to buy in a proper calf ration for severn, or mix a little powdered milk in the ration to tempt him. All the trouble you get with the ground up cereals getting stuck and going off in the hopper, i wonder if it may be better to roll the grains. Also easier for the animal to pick up and less likely to cause dietary upsets. We sometimes get what we call a course ration and the grains in it are rolled.

[@charlenepartlow7880]

Ohhhhhh my goodness Merdi ! You're coming to Michigan ! Good Lord lima bean I wish I could get to Traverse City just to see you ! I'm about 4 and half hours away from our home! But only about an hour and a half at the most from our cottage up north..."up north" is a michigan saying ...north is where alot of us Michiganders venture to get away from the madness of city life. There's nothing I would like better than to give you a great big hug ! You are so precious to me ! Your little girl as she was when we first joined your channel ...is growing up in so many lovely ways and your young man is maturing daily into quite an admirable man. A farmer like his daddy ! The FARMER is always an icon and a legend for us ! Love your tiny house ! Can't wait to see it finished and what you do with it ! It was sweet seeing Lady....she is the sweetest girl ...I love how she smiles. Well....there's things here to see down my way in Michigan ! Michigan is a lovely state with lots to offer for vacationing...now there's a thought girly ! Farming doesn't offer much opportunity I would suppose for family vacations ...well we love y'all ! Can't wait to hear all about your trip to my neck of the woods.

[@user-ed2cd4zw1f]

Hello, Austin is a new driver? She is doing good and shows no fear behind the wheel.

[@Paul-yb2bt]

Turn the new building into a utility room/ mud room with a full bathroom.

[@DeerLady412]

I think it would be a perfect crib for Wesley. He's old enough and would probably appreciate the privacy. His own cabin. Just a thought.

[@clarenceburton9654]

Traverse City is a beautiful place and I think you will enjoy it , you have to take home a pie from the traverse city pie company !!

[@mackdenn]

They have great cherry pies but my favorite is their chocolate pie......yum!

[@ARTWV]

Howdy, your kids are getting so big. A handsome family. That building is awesome. I would put it in the woods to camp. There is probably a loft above the porch to sleep. God Bless

I have been making banana nut bread with black walnuts from trees growing here on the homestead. And yes, they are a pain to crack and clean. I use the vise in my shop.

[@ThisFarmWife_]

LB's dad, (Papa), used to do the same thing. He'd collect them from down on the creek bottom and then bring back in truck and put in driveway, run over with truck to get initial crack and then spend hours cracking them by hand. Good memories

Hey that's great! I live about thirty miles south of Traverse City Michigan. I live in Cadillac MI myself but we go to Traverse City to the mall and just as a get away. It's a beautiful city if you ever want a nice vacation this is a city to visit in the summer or the fall the leaves are beautiful. But the summers are the time to come it's not to hot and it is not that far from the bridge and Mackinac City. Hope you had a good trip.
