So Beautiful. This place was waiting for you.

[@caroleferreira2846]

Amazing job on the farm house. I could watch the animals all day. Could you show the animals and tell a little bit about them.

[@1807FarmhouseDiaries]

We could do that!

[@josie4peace]

Oh, I would like that too 💕

You have a beautiful home and land and most of all you and your lovely animals ❤️

[@EllenKinsella-bs5rb]

I loved this video. Everything about it was interesting. I have to also say I love your new place. You both seem so…calm?…content, which I think shows you have made a choice that makes you happy! ❤

Great work!

[@mikkidavidson8048]

I wished everyone took care of the animals as you do

[@1807FarmhouseDiaries]

We love them so much!

[@christinecook377]

We have a refrigerator very much like the one in your storage space in our garage, that we still use for cold drinks. We purchase it right after we got married 47 years ago and it still works! We have gone thru 4 "modern" fridges in our kitchen over the years, and we did not purchase inexpensive ones. Guess it goes to show how things were made "back then" and how they are made now. New to your channel and love your home. Wishing you lots of luck as you remodel and looking forward to watching!

[@janehavens3086]

You just need a small side table beside your new chair and then you are ready for a proper tea party!!

[@1807FarmhouseDiaries]

Ohhhh! You’re right!!

[@gailrowan4424]

The look on Walter's face when he was picked up was priceless.

[@1807FarmhouseDiaries]

Haha he’s so adorable ❤

[@2Sugarbears]

Found you a few weeks ago and am enjoying your videos.

[@marylyon1230]

Lovely video. Interesting that you turned what was most likely the living room at the front door to a dining room. It works really well. As to the rug... I have learned from experience to place a new rug upside down and walk on it for a short while. The edges naturally flatten and then you can reverse.

[@SCCL1000]

Quite frankly, and since you asked, I think you two are gifted people with a great work ethic. Perfect for New England.

[@bonniemiller9197]

Raising 4 kids, 4 horses, beef cattle and occasional foster animals meant everyone pitched in. You mention Little House on the Prairie and I thank them as they may have saved our lives. South of Buffalo NY in our rural county blizzards were not uncommon as well as 3 foot of snow at a time. Getting from the house to the barn to do chores was a necessity. One particular long and nasty storm, as a precaution, we tied rope from the barn to the house. Well, we needed it as you could not see your hand in front of your face and the wind could have blown over a child and of course chores had to be done. We used that rope for 3 days!! At 82 yrs old, these are my memories of raising our family. All good ones albeit challenging!!

[@sheilafae]

I am a big fan of Walter. He is adorable. ❤️

[@1807FarmhouseDiaries]

I love the bedroom with the iron bed, jute rug, blue and white bedspread, and the vintage straw hat on the antique pegboard/shelf. It's perfect and lovely!! I also love the bathroom floor. So, you're saying "Chunky Buns" is a pig, in more ways than one. lol 😆At the end of the video: I adore Gypsy horses and their mustaches!! Alec! Sooo cute!

[@juandapatterson3888]

I'm not big on carpet either but it's so much warmer in winter, I really appreciate it then. I live in Missouri and this has been a rough winter so far so I can relate to taking care of animals in extreme cold, ice and snow! 😊

[@1807FarmhouseDiaries]

Yup! It’s pretty luxurious after being outside in the single digits for hours 😂❤

I enjoy all your videos, and I cannot get enough of the animals. Every one of them has an amazing and funny personality. They bring such joy to my day and a good giggle.

I love your videos. They are so relaxing to me and I love all the pups. Walter cracks me up.Your new "old" home is beautiful. I have hardwoods all through my house and considering putting carpet in the bedrooms as my little house was built as a cabin originally and insulation is nonexistent in the crawlspace.

If you want to reduce the carpet bulk on the stairs, you could always do a pretty stair runner. It protects the stairs and keeps a cozy feel without the bulk. Just an idea.

[@1807FarmhouseDiaries]

I thought of that!!

Hello from Western N. Y. Love all your videos. Love the new home. ( Kimberley)

[@ButterfliesAreFree-e5l]

Hi! Here are a few questions for your Q&A: How did you and your husband's interest in an animal sanctuary come about? Did you grow up on a farm or around a lot of animals? If not, how did you learn to take care of so many different kinds of animals? How many children do you have and what are their ages? You mentioned that one of your daughters is going to vet school in Scotland. Does she intend to remain there and work there? Your other daughter must be the one you refer to as an artist. What type of art does she do? I also believe you mentioned having a son? Can you tell us more about him? How did growing up in an animal sanctuary impact their lives and their career choices? Did you homeschool your children? How often do they come back to visit? Your husband has an amazing relationship with the animals; you can clearly see the love in his eyes for all of them; you can see that it is his happy place, and the animals take to him like a duck to water. Because you tend to be holding the camera, we don't get to see you interacting with the animals like your husband does, but I'm sure your connection is equally deep and awe-inspiring. One last question. You tend to talk to the animals in a "baby" voice. Is that intentional in order to make them feel safe or is that just your own way of talking? Your new home, by the way, is beautiful. Your antiques are also beautiful. I hope you retain the neutral wall color because I think it brings out your artwork and your furniture much better than your previous house. Everything stands out and looks a lot cleaner, crisper. That's my two cents! Many blessings for the new year!

[@1807FarmhouseDiaries]
