Thank you for your positive words Bert, I’ve been very down, not been blessed with a family or husband and turned 50 last week and feel a bit pointless, it’s a blessing watching your family and seeing positivity in the world ... you guys bring the Joy

[@conradheinlein8495]

One use for all those fallen tree trimmings and debree like leaves and pine needles would be to burn them on the ground that you are going to rototill so that you can partially thaw the ground that is frozen at only a foot deep. The drying time on the material is always a factor. This is especially true in the rainy season. Evaporation of the water cools the ground again.

[@ajcrum3689]

You are so right everyone’s lives matter ! Thank you for sharing ur Christian faith with all of us during such dark times we all need uplifting for sure .

[@Paige0311]

I loved seeing Audrey and her grandma walking around holding hands. Reminds me of me and my grandmother. Sweet memories.

[@ruthsmith1776]

The best memories....you never forget holding hands & those special one on one moments w/ Grandparents...You don't even realize that you are creating lifelong memories...Spent lots of time w/ all of mine & even 30+ years after losing them, I still have my awesome memories of each of them holding my hand while talking & laughing. An Invaluable, underrated & sometimes forgotten relationship that I recommend to all ( that have no type of abuse in the family )~

[@carmendoyle9786]

U have three beautiful kids she grown so much ! Bless u all !

[@marinamayo7994]

Seeking God for my future as my kids are raised and now seeking a new purpose for living! Thank you so much for the reminder that life is still worth living!

[@beckyrose962]

Yes and it is not too late to start. I hope you enjoy your journey. My life has not changed since discovering what the bible has to offer me and making a relationship with God... But my attitude to life has changed and I see beauty in every day. I smile as I write this because my heart is happy. X

[@cpr6760]

I loved seeing the progress on your Mom's kitchen but I especially loved seeing her excitement about it all! She was like a giddy teenager, it was so cute! WOW! Your woodpile looks great. Doesn't it give you a calming sense of accomplishment when you are able to be prepared for something important, especially something as important as heating your home for the winter.

[@joansommerfield8419]

Thanks for sharing just life. Highs, lows, and the work that is fun, too. My mom always said make work fun. Make a game of it. Helps. It is fun to go back and look at what you have accomplished after a hard task. Kinda like when you keep opening the refrigerator or closet when you finally get it cleaned out. Looks so good ya just gotta keep checking it out!!!!! Nothing beats the feeling of accomplishment. And ,Bert, you can say it however you’d like....we are just happy to be part of your family life. 😊😊😊 God bless all of you.

[@nicolemitt1]

I just love your family and your children are adorable 🥰

[@ionecuff6323]

Loved seeing the progress at Bert's Mom's home! So beautiful! I love how she designed with "making room for the grandkids to sit at the counter." She has her priorities straight! LOL!! Sure is beautiful up there! How blessed you are to be able to see a cow and baby moose passing through your yard. Don't overdo it with all the projects!

[@juliaawbrey106]

I know you know this but I'm saying it anyway. Bert, your mom is a real gem. I had the pleasure of meeting her and your dad on several occasions. She was such a positive and "real" lady. Your dad is awesome too but I interacted more with your mom. Now that we don't live in North Pole anymore it is so fun watching your videos and "catching up" on things. I am so excited for her new kitchen and all the things you and Jessica are doing. Thanks for a positive channel. God bless!

[@debwiley3914]

Really appreciate the comment by Bert at the beginning encouraging people who are not thinking their lives are valuable.

[@tracymenz8723]

I needed to hear Bert's speech at the beginning 💙

[@CJ-ut9kq]

I didn’t know it ... but I did once I heard it .... hope your ok & thank Bert for the much needed words of belonging 💙

[@karenowen9491]

Thanks for letting me be a part of your life! It's brought back so many great memories from when I built my country home and put in my first garden and fruit trees. Wow, the fresh fruits and veggies tasted soooooo good - not at all like grocery store flavored. Fall canning was so rewarding. I loved laying in bed at night listening to all the lids popping as the jars sealed. I think my favorite was freezer strawberry jam. Take it out, let it defrost and viola, it tasted like I was eating fresh strawberries! Love and blessings - ko - PS - Rear bladed tillers are the best. The blades dig deep into the ground, while the front tillers "hop" .

[@LiveAboard]

I live in southeast Florida and we have voracious Mosquitoes too! I have discovered that Johnson’s Baby Creamy Oil with Aloe Vera and vitamin E is not only good for your skin, it also keeps bugs away. No harsh chemicals, so you can use it all over your body. It's my Go To anytime I'm going to be outside. Bonus: My husband even likes it...and he's a tough sell for "scented" lotions. Also very soothing for sunburn. Hope this helps!

[@sharleneknaus3664]

I am so jealous of all your kitchen cabinets. ENJOY!

[@sharon22669]

It's been a rough while. Currently caring for my sick granddaughter. Life seems overwhelming then I watch your videos and you give a sense of calm. (in a spiritual way). Thank you ♥️🙏

So many wonderful things going on for all of you. The Littles are growing like weeds and the change is amazing to watch. A new member if the family on its way, Jessica's mom retiring, the new shop is exciting and I can't wait to see your accomplishment on that. A new growing season starting up is always nice and just the every day stuff to fill everyone with joy. Thanks for taking us on your adventures day to day. I love being a part of the Happy Peoples club. God Bless.

Love seeing the progress on your mom’s kitchen, Bert! You can tell how excited she is for the new open space. Why not do raised beds for your garden? Thanks for the lovely video!

[@missginger8896]

I'm so glad you got wood already !!! I'm winter prepping too, but I don't have nearly as much to do as you.

[@darlenechandler7734]

Thanks Burt..i needed to hear that.

[@laurajones6486]

Two comments; I think you made a great choice in a mower since you really don’t mow for as many months as we do in the lower 48. I see where you cleaned the rota tiller, I have one just like it you have to keep it clean for it to last. It is so neat to see the moose. Your mom’s kitchen renovation is beautiful.

[@leej4914]

Love your videos always brighten up a week thanks for taking us guys a long with you.

[@joandouglas5162]

Hey Bert. I’m in Australia and I say ‘apart’ the same way you do. Somers family I loved the vlog. Thanks for dropping by my Happy Peoples. Bert’s Mum’s kitchen and laundry are looking Amazing! So much storage space and looking good. Well done on the wood pile 😀👏🎉. If you had 2 big wood piles would it get you through winter? Would save your family more money on heating costs

[@lindagoodwin3908]

Lawns in Alaska seem to do ok the first year, but after that they tend to struggle. I use Scotts Turf Builder II mixed with dried organic blood meal when spreading it in a spreader. Results are a lush green lawn and no weeds. Keep away from your vegetable garden. Wear a mask when mixing! Best to wear a mask when working with some soils as well. You can research this.

[@kathleenmcmahonphone363]

Thank you for your words of hope. Really needed that today. God bless you and yours.

[@truthisanillusion416]

Here in northern Michigan where we get a ton of wind, snow and winter we use pole barns for storage of all the toys, equipment, vehicles, etc. like you guys have. You guys definitely need a pole barn so everything can be stored inside and protected and all in one place.

[@jessicapabon2105]

Are you going to have a high tunnel?? That way you can utilize having fresh vegetables and herbs all year around no matter how harsh and cold the winter can be you will always have fresh produce?? You don't even need to have a big one either just something maybe 16 ft long that will accommodate a cattle panel bent over

[@aprilstorkamp7067]

So excited to see your finished garden walls!!

[@melissalewis8803]

With so many religious based organizations not following Christ's true teachings, it's refreshing to see you doing so. I am reassured everytime I see God's children stepping up and living a true Godly way.

[@tyreesetjjoyner1995]

Happy Monday, SOMERS. I hope you’re having a good day. And yes indeed, SOMERS, winter is out of the picture. I know that y’all have to go through too much freezing weathers and too much snow for months. I’m glad the weather is getting beautiful and warm now. Now you can go outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. Plus, your kids can jump on the trampoline while having water sprinklers. You can even go swimming at swim beach. I hope you SOMERS stay safe during summer. Continue on your road on getting the giant gold play button.

the words you said at the start of the vlog was very encouraging. Me and my wife just lost 1 of our cats .He had congestive heart failure. he was in the vet hospital for 2 days then came home then we brought him back Sunday afternoon cause he was peeing blood. they told us his vital signs were good, but 10 minutes or so later they called us and said his heart stopped. they tried CPR for 10 minutes and then asked what we want to do. my wife said the best humane thing to do is to stop. It's a tough time right now, but those words at the beginning of the vlog were encouraging. keep us in your prayers if you can. thanks happy people. our kitten is survived by his brother. this happy people family is a blessing. keep smiling.

Get tons of bars of Irish Spring soap. Cut them in half the long way. Hang them on your garden wires. Keeps animals, creatures & bugs away.

[@LeeZetLMG]

Thank you, Bert! Your words at the beginning made me tear up so much, 'cause I don't feel like my life matters in any way since a long time. I'm searching for my place and purpose in life for so long, that your words just meant the world to me. I always try my best and I also believe in God and that he will have a reason why I'm on earth, but it's hard to find out this reason, if you aren't successful somehow... not jobwise, not in your private life, not with your health ... when you fail every part in life it's hard to believe that you matter at all, 'cause you feel like you make everything worse than better. That's why your words really hit me and now I'm here, sitting in tears, just thankful that there's at least one person on earth who thinks that my presence on earth matters. Thank you so much! Stay blessed and healthy.
