[@artby1285]

So sorry about your loss. I love animals and it takes me a long time to get over their passing. The world we live in needs more love and consideration for all beings. Peace. Love. Kindness NEEDED for all and Mother Earth. You're my favorite on KZbin. I've been following you for years. I have peace watching your videos. You're a beautiful lady inside and out. Thank you for all you show us. Thank you!!

[@ar7tis5227]

Jeri, Thank you for sharing about your loss with us. It helps so many of us. There is something so precious about sisterhood and sharing life and feelings!!!

[@lindabullock6159]

I’m so sorry for your loss Jeri. I am praying for your heart to be comforted . Poor Godfrey. 😢 I believe that God loves us so much that he is keeping your pup Gabriel in Heaven waiting for you and Godfrey someday.❤

[@tinafayne4092]

So so sorry about your dog.😢 Our animals are like family. It's heart breaking.

[@TheFarmSparrow]

Jeri, your nesting box is genius and so pretty. I’m a country gal too. I have two wishes today, one that I could hug you for real for the loss of Gabriel (it is so hard🤗🤗🤗) and the other is that I can be your neighbor. I would be right at home and can just imagine myself sitting on that delightful porch of yours and I would spend hours enjoying your garden. Blessings dear friend from far away….🙏🏻♥️🌹

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Being your neighbor would be so great, what nice times and sad times we would share in friendship and sisterhood.

I'm so sorry and do understand grief from loss of animals. My pets are family too. God bless you and your husband!

[@DLynne222]

Oh, I'm so sorry about your beloved pet. I know all about that loss. Too recently for us too. We lost a Black Lab in 2021. We believe he was chasing a deer and ran through the overgrown grass on the edge of the highway. Our property has frontage on a highway and the speed limit there is 75mph. We believe he died instantly. He was only out of our sight for a few minutes! He was a trained hunting dog. My husband was training him and they were so very close. We both were, but especially hubby, was very heartbroken. We live rurally too, so yes we know the heart break of losing animals. I am so sorry you're going through this again, but what a blessing that we have the pleasure of their company in the first place. Hubby was so heartbroken, he was saying he didn't want to get another dog. I told him he needed to. He didn't buy that dog as a pet or mate, but as a hunting tool, not much different than buying a tractor or a mower or any other piece of farm equipment. He thought about it and agreed. He called the breeder and to our amazement the breeder actually still had a brother to our first dog, so we purchased him. His name is Bear. We adore him too, though he is very different than his brother, despite them both being black labs. Bear is actually more suitable for us, much more calm than his brother. Thank you for sharing your garden too! Everything looks so beautiful. I am starting basil from seeds. They're still very tiny though. Thank you again for all you share with us.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

I think your hubby grew to love him as more than a hunting dog, for sure; I'm glad you got another dog.

[@lindamurns1245]

I love the nesting box !

[@leslieW5177]

Jeri, I am so sorry about your sweet Gabriel 😢. The speed limit by my home is also 15 mph with a school across the street; many cars fly by….I truly fear for the children. We do our best to encourage people to slow down, but many drivers ignore our plea. Hugs dear friend 🙏❤️

[@gangoffour1]

The chicken nesting box is wonderful. You are always so creative. I'm so sorry about your dog. It's really traumatic to lose a pet because they are part of the family. We have a pet cemetery in our backyard complete with head stones and monuments. It's silly but it keeps them in our hearts.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Our whole property is a pet cemetery too! No headstones, but I know where everyone is.

Nothing compares to losing one of our fur family members. Sending you love and hugs. The garden looks beautiful.

Jeri, I am terribly sorry to hear about your precious pup, may God comfort your hurting heart at this time. My heart truly goes out to you. Thank you for sharing it with us, and for sharing your garden and rustic nesting box, that's great! The snoring is hilarious, cute Liam! Sending love and hugs!

I’m so sorry to hear about Godfrey. I can’t believe the driver wouldn’t at least stop and come to your door to let you know what happened.

[@helendeacon7637]

Sad to hear about your puppy. I've recently lost a much loved cat. The points you made are important. Too many vehicles are driven way too fast. I'm far too acquainted with losses of this kind. I hope you find Godfrey a companion. You see sadness in their eyes. Your place is looking lovely... the bluebells, simply delightful.❤

[@rebeccahoward4163]

I’m so heartbroken for you and James. Gabriel was such a beautiful puppy. I remember when I first saw Godfrey and then Gabriel and how precious they were. I was so excited for you and when my husband came home I showed him the video and then I showed my daughter. They were just the cutest little white fur babies. I’m so sorry for your loss. The tips for basil are going to be put to good use at my house. Love and prayers ❤

[@tinaclauson5238]

Oh my goodness I am so very sorry for your loss. Sending you and Godfrey lots of love and hugs. On a happier note the nesting box is absolutely adorable. Love it. 😊 Keeping my fingers crossed on your seedling situations for you! I've been watching a gentleman from the UK that does terra cotta pots. He uses his compost bags to line the inside of the terra cotta pots to help keep moisture in. He cuts squares to about the size of pots and lines the sides with them. Sure hope you know how much we your viewing audience appreciate you and all you give to us.❤🥀🐕

[@Nanaslegacy]

It’s so heartbreaking to lose a pet especially in that manner! I’m so sorry for your loss, I had beautiful Pekingese pup several years ago that was hit by a car and the saddest part was it was done deliberately I was devastated and I don’t know how he got loose! I had put him out on leash because I didn’t have a fenced yard and I had gone out to check on him and he was sleeping so I thought I would leave him out for a bit longer I don’t think it was 10 minutes later I got a knock on the door! The neighbor told me she saw them deliberately run him over! I couldn’t believe it I just checked on him, I held him in my arms and cried for hours. But I know will see Sebastian again one day.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Some people are just wicked, so sad.

[@beckylby1953]

I’m very sorry for your loss. It is so sad & lonely for us as well as our other fur babies that mourn like we do. Your animals, birds & insects add so much to your home, gardens & videos. ❤️

Oh Jeri, I was so saddened to hear about your much loved puppy Gabriel. Although he was taken too soon, you gave him the best puppy life. God Bless him. Sending prayers of comfort 🙏♥

[@Bubbless555]

I am so sorry for your loss Miss Jeri.. I lost my 17 year old chow mix in January and I think of her every day. My heart breaks at the tragedy your beautiful farm and family has endured. May God give you peace in this time. He saw the senseless driving of that person and will deliver justice! When my Daisy passed, I was so filled with grief, but found a study explaining when God restores creation, he may restore animals lives that we so dearly miss or who endured suffering just as us people waiting to be restored are. It helped me a lot ❤ take care for now

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Most of our dogs and cats have lived very long happy lives and we were comforted by that when they died. This chap had a lively, happy life too, but it was so short, he was only a year old. I do hope that animals will be in the new creation; Isaiah says something about the wolf lying down with the lamb and the leopard lying with the young goat, etc.

[@shellbells339]

I have a 15 mi speed limit sign right in front of our house and it doesnt stop anyone from slowing diwn or being mindful. Seen a few tragedies.. They just keep going like its nothing.

[@vivianking8143]

Where we live now, the previous owner sowed, I think, purple and green ruffle basil, that comes back every year. It is starting to appear now and I have not had to grow any basil for 5 yrs. since moving in. I make pesto, dry it, use it fresh, and it is delicious. God is good and I am thankful he has provided free basil for me. Everything in your place looks lush, green and vibrant. We also have speedy, reckless drivers on our rural road. Sorry about Gabriel. 3 years ago I lost my wonderful jersey cow, raised from a calf, to oak poisoning. I was blessed to have her 10 yrs and all her wonderful milk. I still miss her. Hard not to get attached to them. Always a pleasure. In Joy

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

One of my hardest losses was actually a one-eyed goose I had from a gosling. She was so crazy, a real tough guardian goose with one eye! She had a soft side however, and loved me so much. Whenever she heard my voice she'd come running across the meadow, I would sweep her up in my arms and carry her around the yard. Unfortunately she thought that cars were an enemy, and took to chasing the wheels of our vehicles when we had to pull into the yard. She ran right under the wheel one day and that was that. I cried for 3 days.

Momma will get you a friend soon. Hello, snoring Liam. I hear so often how fast people race through the streets, so unfortunate, and inconsiderate too. I, too, know the anguish, of lost fur children.😢Thank you on the tip of the basil, cause all my herbs end up dying as well because I hadn't separated them. I love the sights and sounds of your beautiful homestead. Ahhh, tongue oil on clay pots, good tip, ty. I love your prim chicken nesting box for your girls. Those darn snakes, right?

[@bizzybee852]

Jeri you are an inspiration. Such a beautiful little farm you have, and it is sad when the world starts encroaching on our little havens of nature out in the country. We recently moved into a cottage in the middle of a 300 acre forest and we love it. Fortunately you have to turn onto a little dirt road off the highway to get to our home, and it dead ends into an electronic gate, so we don't have to worry about cars or strangers. Our cottage is two stories with the bottom floor being a huge oversized double garage, with stairs on the inside and a wrought iron staircase on the outside of the cottage that leads to the front door on the second story which is the actual living portion of the cottage. We have a wide balcony front porch that overlooks the wooded property and looks down on a pond at the bottom of the sloping front yard. When you are sitting out on the balcony It feels like you are sitting up in a treehouse amongst the trees. I like to sit out on the balcony in the morning with my coffee and read my Bible and pray as I watch the myriad of birds and squirrels in the forest surrounding our cottage. The only problem with living in the middle of a forest in rural Georgia is trying to grow flowers and vegetables. Literally the only land without trees is the plot that was cleared to build the cottage, and the surrounding front, back, and side yards. But being completely surrounded with a forest of large deciduous and evergreen trees, every open spot of land where I could possibly have a flower or vegetable garden is in the shade cast by the trees at least part if not all of the day. The other factor I am dealing with is the entire property is compacted red Georgia clay. My husband is in the process of building me some raised garden beds for my vegetable garden from wood pallets. But I am still trying to figure out where I am going to place them so they get the minimum requirement of 8 hours of sun. I love the peace, tranquility, and beauty, of this property. But one of the reasons I wanted to move back to the country was so that I could have animals and raise my own heirloom organic vegetables. Your home and gardens have been a huge inspiration to me. I am grateful I do not have to deal with the automobile traffic tucked away in the middle of the forest. But I sure would like a nice sunny spot to grow some food and cottage flowers in! I just bought 9 baby chicks and I am so excited to be raising chickens again, and I am looking forward to the organic eggs. I want to get a lot more "farm" animals in the near future. Especially now that we have a pond I want some ducks and geese. I have wanted to own a pair of sebastopol geese for years, they are so majestic, they look like white swans wearing a frilly skirt with their long curly feathers. If you are not familiar with them you should look them up, and you will probably fall in love and want to own some like I do. God bless you Jeri, and thank you for sharing your wonderful talents and love and joy of nature and gardening with all of us!

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

I'm happy for you in your little cottage in the woods! My friend in Georgia lives in a house that's surrounded by the tallest pines I have ever seen. She does manage to garden in the pockets of sunshine here and there . We have a lot of woods, half of them are separated by that blasted road. I love my ducks, but they are so often the victims of predators, I am getting geese from now on. One of my geese is laying eggs and I will let her sit on them if she wishes. Love Sebastopol geese!

Thank you for passing on the basil tip. I now understand why my plants died so quickly. Also, gentle hugs to you and your big family. I know that kind of grief and the festering rage at speeding drivers, especially on country lanes that are constantly used by animals of any kind. I find that most drivers just don't even slow down and do not think of the running over of animals as a 'bad thing'. I just do not understand that kind of attitude. Every time they change the clocks in the UK, you see countless numbers of run-over badgers, foxes, rabbits, etc.... My heart aches....

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Yes, I see so many squirrels, possum and raccoons out on the road at this time of year, and I do think some of the "accidents" are deliberate.

[@gwenewing6837]

So sorry for your loss. It certainly hurts I know. Same thing happened to my daughter. She lives in WV. Her dog got out. She was driving home and saw him lying in the road dead. She picked him up crying her eyes out and mad. A small neighborhood with children playing signs and drive slowly. She was mad because whoever it was didn't stop to let her know; this area is a dead end. she went house to house asking people and letting them know how inconsiderate it was not to even tell her. Very small community. I think since there have been speed bumps put in. Heartless people out there. Your chickens learned the first time. I can't imagine touching a snake. I love the nesting box and the country gals feel safe in there.

Such heart breaking news Jeri. I also seem to be the one on my road looking out for all the critters and small children. People just keep speeding and driving recklessly these days, with no regard for the laws. Please know that you and all your pets are in my thoughts.

[@nadinemasteller1089]

I lived more than 30 years in the country on a rural road. I had the same problem with the traffic. We, too, were a path up the mountain. I was fortunate not to lose any pets because to the traffic . We lived well back from the road. We did lose a pet that way living in the house before that one, but she had wandered well away from home and got hit. It's a hard way to lose a family member. Why she wandered so far is a mystery because we were surrounded by farmland. Anyway, all of this is to say that I know how you feel and I'm sorry. Thanks for the basil tutorial.
