I am sure if anyone on here were to have their own youtube channel Shawn would watch it!! Let that sink in!

[@nanarose3496]

Shawn, as I watched this video I realized a terrible mistake I made. When my husband and I (both then 70) worked on projects on our four acres, I would get so frustrated because I would look over and see him leaning against the shovel or rake staring at the sky or the woods rather than “working”. I’m always caught up in trying to hurry and get the job done Seeing you stop when you heard the geese and a few other times, it made me realize you (and my husband) were soaking up your life and surroundings. He died a year and a half ago and I FINALLY understand what he was doing. Thank you for this understanding. I’ll be leaning on that shovel and rake a lot more from now on instead of being hell bent to finish. I’m going to soak up life and the experience...whatever I’m doing Cali’s excitement at the geese was an added bonus. I could almost hear her say “Come on!! Let’s go get them!”🤣

[@Uradamus]

I like how when the geese went by Cali was like "is it my time to shine?!" You should look into making bio-char with some of the waste wood, like branches and cut offs. When mixed with compost and other such things, it becomes an ideal medium for beneficial bacteria and helps retain moisture and nutrients longer. Tends to improve soil productivity a fair bit in most cases as long as it is properly charged before adding it to the soil.

I love the peewees, and geese. I helped my dad plant over 1000 trees, and he’d have us soak them for an hour, before planting. Nice selection of trees. I still don’t understand a guy who builds a new outside cooking area ten feet high, then doesn’t dig a hole big enough to spread the roots when planting his nursery stock. It’s evident that calli would rather be petted, than chase her favorite toy. Who would have guessed? Stay safe.
