Years ago I heard a garden rhyme from one of the family old timers. 'Plant one for the bugs, one for the beasts, one for thee and one for me'. Many blessings to you both!

[@DebraofSENC]

Excellent! Thanks for sharing that garden rhyme. I am going to type that up and put it on my fridge and garden journals! Edit here>Because last year, the bugs got alot of our crop esp the stringbeans and squash.

[@rockinpranch10]

I completely agree about stay-cations. I'm currently on mine this week. I have so much work to do on our homestead that leaving hasn't crossed my mind. I had $$ to go somewhere, instead I bought my husband a tractor. He's already putting it to work. My freeze dryer will be here Friday. What a blessing to better our homestead, making life easier at our age is important

[@tambrasmith9707]

I want a freeze dryer bad , but I am paying someone to build my high tunnel right now… maybe I can save for it after high tunnel is built

Danny, thank you for the reminder that our flesh is stronger than the spirit. I surely did my share of bad things. Jesus is my saving grace. ❤

Thank you for the great message! My husband and I have a little less than an acre and are committed to using every inch to grow all that we can. We have several chickens that are providing an abundance of eggs and entertainment. Life is good 😊 Thank you, Jesus!

We have an acre in east TN and like you we are using every part of it we can to grow our vegetables and fruits. God has blessed us so much. Yes, thank you Jesus!

[@jeas4980]

I have a friend in town that has a 2/3 acre back yard... they ringed a large garden wrapped in electric poultry netting with an 8 foot wide yard tractor path that drug around a meat chicken tractor. Beyond the tractor path along the edges of the property line they situated storage buildings for feed and supplies, a duck pond and shelter in one corner, rabbit hutches, a goat shed separated does from buck's on the long back fence, they had coops for quail, layer hens and geese. They even stuck fruit trees between each area that they harvested fruit for themselves, and pollard cuttings for the goats. The most efficient design I've ever seen.

[@marjoriedanley6131]

DANNY: I’m tearing up as I write this to you and Ms Wanda. You’re words, the love you said them with, I felt like directing to me, has touched my very core in a way I can’t explain except I do know it came from God, through you. How can I possibly say in words to you just how grateful I am to you allowing our Father to be His messenger. I saw you with the light of Gods love shining through I simply can’t put into words what I feel and inherently know. Very humbly I thank first my Father, then to you, precious Danny.

[@hidawayhomestead524]

Dearst Danny, I get it. My parent's passed 6 days apart nearly a year ago. I go 900 archers and 25%of their business. My brother got 75% of the business. There is still a loan on that business of 303,000, and because neither of our names are on the loan, the bank has given us 3 months to pay it off before they foreclose. We are at 7 weeks now. We are waiting on God's time and God's will. I won't put up my land for the business. Please pray for me. Stay safe, and God bless you, my friend 🌱🐓🐐🐖🐄🌱 Lisa

[@ronnieobrien6591]

Good Morning Danny, when folks ask why God permits wickedness, I steer them to the book of Job. God permitted Satan to test Job as to his integrety and faithfullness. God himself did not cause Job's suffering, but He permitted Satan to test Job in order to prove Satan a liar. Satan even had the audacity to try to trick God into doing those things to Job himself. That's why God told Satan that everything he, Job, has is in your hands, except his very life. We can be gratefull that Job passed that test, and was recorded in that book of truth for our benefit. Thank you Danny and Wanda for allowing an exchange of thoughts and ideas on this platform, whether it be physical or spiritual. Much love to all.

[@agapefield]

❤😮Wow what a view! Such a beautiful peaceful place! What a blessing! Glad that you are taking care of the wildlife especially the Deer & Wild Turkeys! I would love it if you could get the quail back!

[@sandrathomson1084]

Good Mornin DSH Danny and Wanda 🌄. I agree Danny, life's about choices, up to us to make the right choices. I got pregnant and married at the age of sixteen and God blessed me with a boy and five years later a girl. That wasn't my plan, but believe it was God's plan. It wasn't easy, but know that Our Heavenly Father was with us and gave us what we needed. The children are grown and living their lives now. I am grateful for God blessing me to be able to help and bless others. I choose to be debt free, and I don't have much, but thankful for what I have been blessed with by Our Heavenly Father. I choose to live life one day at a time. I believe everyone is beautiful until you show me that you are not. Porch Time is a great choice to start the day. Thank you Beautiful People. Stay safe. God Bless Y'all ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hi Danny. Wow that is some green and pretty grass. I''m so glad your watching out for those turkeys and hope can keep predators down to let them procreate. I'm so very thankful the Lord has enabled you to grow wonderful food in your garden. The Lord doesn't necessarily make bad things happen but He does allow us to make our own choices. To be with Him when He takes us home is glorious to look forward to no matter how it comes about. Thank you for being so honest about mistakes you've made and for sharing the wisdom you've gained with us. I appreciate you don't follow protocol and walk to the beat of a different drummer--the Lord's will is most important to you. You make right choices for you and Wanda. I am enjoying each day given me and that is so much more beneficial and enjoyable than going somewhere else for a vacation. Home here is where my heart is and if I need a break I can find ways to do so right here. Blessing others is so very rewarding and focusing on others. I don't have to have a lot to do so. It's just little things and contributing to other's lives. I appreciate what you and Wanda share and learn so much as I make choices and go forward. I enjoy what you share on Pecan Grove and look forward to watching more videos over there. So much your doing is a blessing for both of you and for those of us following you in the community too. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom and understanding 😀

When I comment I'm just grateful that you're on and I get to hear Porchtime. After listening yesterday when I was in prayer (it was more like whinnying) being honest everyone is going through something. I was a little afraid that the Lord wasn't listening to me. All I heard was "You have a choice to make!" 3/4/23 11:35 pm Then this! I pray I make the right decision

Fear and hatred are tools wielded by those who want to manipulate others, and its always to acquire wealth and power! We are not perfect, we make mistakes all the time, but we can always work on trying to become the best human being we can possibly be. We can never be wrong following the teachings of Jesus, and opening our hearts to love, understanding, acceptance, kindness and charity.

I agree with stay cations. Why do I want to leave that my few acres are a blessing and a peaceful place. When younger I have traveled all over the country and seen so much. In today’s world I am happy to stay home. Retired now the finances are much thinner. I have more time to grow my gardens and do more. Even if I had the finances to travel I would not now. It’s been over four years since I ate in a restaurant. I enjoy cooking my own food and when it’s what I have grown it’s even better. Thanks for a great “condo” time.

[@Green.Country.Agroforestry]

I do sometimes chose to be irresponsible, and not carry a weapon .. but never under circumstances where there is no other person that I could trust to be responsible for the safety and wellbeing of myself and others around me. From my reading, the creator made Man for a purpose .. and in the interest of serving that purpose, my God is a god of the living, and not the dead - the dead cannot perform their created purpose on Earth! We often hear someone say "I had no choice" .. but that is never the case. Even at gunpoint, when told that one *must* do something, or _else,_ one always has more than the limited choices that _someone else_ is presenting them with. The power of creation was given to man by the creator of the universe, and it is not something that one can simply 'turn off'. it is *always* on, and the way it works begins with the imagination. Now, if the only thing your imagination can conceive of is the choices that other people make and put before you, you are truly in peril .. because one should always be able to imagine different choices. Courage is required to create and chose to act upon one's *own* choices .. but that is what freedom _is._

We have staycations. Travel was for visiting out of town family. We have so much enjoyment living on our property, why pack up, travel, get home, unpack, go back to work until the next trip. We take time everyday to sit and watch the chickens, or watch the bees in the flowers. On a snowy day, I went around to look at animal footprints in the snow, amazed at how many there were. When Covid hit, we were perfectly content to stay home as it was our normal. Praise God every day, and be thankful the place He gave you to occupy on this earth.

A good knock on the head has got my attention several times. The Spirit of the Lord resides within me to show me what's right to do and what's right to think, but when I disregard the Spirit and become fleshly minded I have literally had the sense knocked out of me by getting a bump on the head. I have learned to thank Him for such a reminder. He could correct me in how ever way He chooses, but when I live in the flesh He permits a good bump on the fleshly head to get my attention. I guess that's why I'm a knot head!
