Yes, checking in to see if there is any word from you. I heard that 7 MILLION went out of power from Helene.

[@catbydie5]

Hope you Patara are safe as well. Lake Lure area was evacuated and people sent to VA. The Flower Bridge was wiped out. Lots of water everywhere. Power out and cell out. Most likely they don’t have internet or power. Chimney Rock area gone as well!

I feel for you, Ben. I've been overwhelmed with my property since my husband died. I just can't seem to summon the energy to do all the things, so I've had to stop mowing most of the elderberry farm. I have 27 acres plus a house in town. I've started hiring help to get things under control before winter hits. My goal is to find a better management plan now that the heat has eased up, and to do differently next year. Having less to manage is always easier, so getting rid of things is on my list as well. I decided if I have a bone yard for materials, they have to be on racks, or organized on pallets, or I can't keep them. Everything will have a home and be put away, or it has to leave my property. No more being messy. It's too much stress on my brain.

Hi, Ben and Meg! Things are taking shape on the homestead! Looking good! Little Miss Lilliana is growing so fast. Her legs are getting long!! Now that Elizabeth is here, Buggie really looks like a big girl. Also, she has quite a vocabulary for her age.

[@culdesacgrocerygarden]

Old tires are free flower planters! Growing up, our sandbox was an old tractor tire. It's still in Mom's backyard and I am 62 years old! Years ago, they converted it to a flower bed with an old manual water pump sitting in the middle of it and it's so cute. But we still call it the sandbox lol. 🙏 Praying y'all made out ok through the storm 🙏

[@galeharris6696]

Hi guys, thinking about you all today, with this horrendous storm. Please be safe, and do not get into any floodwaters, as they are tricky. We do love you all! I know this post went up way before 9/27, but today I'm watching the Asheville area, as I know you and Jason and Lorraine from Sow The Land are all down there. Such destruction, and as a Vermonter who has had 3 major floods in the past year+, I am worried for y'all. I'm sending as good energy as I can muster!💖💗💙💛💚

[@paulettemann500]

I love to watch Buggy keeping up with her brothers. And Lily is growing so fast. Nice family.

I would bend the aluminum in half and use to cover newly planted plants for a few days. Let's the plants acclimate in the shade before being in full sun. I do that now in my garden. Love your videos. Always waiting to see your next project. We had the hurricane but thankfully were far enough away and had no major damage. Colleen in Central Florida.

[@jamiekendall7245]

Hi Ben maybe if you closed the opened area in you wouldn't put stuff underneath again, make a door where you want to store the golf cart tires only. That may help you in the future.

[@gingerreynolds3537]

Knowing how things can accumulate. Hard to move/get rid of things. In 70s now. Thinking we had maintained better than we have. Health issues can come along before you know it. Try to stay in control of your property best you can. Just speaking from experience. Love your family.

After nearly 8 years still find bits and pieces barried in the garden. It is so important especially becouse your kids walking in bear foot. You don't want to have a trip to the emergency department😊. Keep safe.🫂

[@kimlittleton4943]

My brother cracks me up.....he says it is pertinent to have company every couple of months to keep your house clean and in order. It encourages you to clean up the house and keep it presentable. That seems "normal" but Lordy Bees.....it is HARD. During gardening season, my house goes to "shitz". But when it is hotter than hades outside.....my yard and garden goes to "shitz". Ya'll accomplished a ton. You should feel proud and feel like a load is off your back.

Lots of progress! So funny about the cornbread. I was just visiting my son- for the birth of grandbaby #7-and made them cornbread. When I got home, my DIL asked for the recipe. Its now a favorite 😊

[@sandracunningham2689]

A big step in the right direction. Without realizing it the weight of your surroundings affect a lot of things. Once you finish the clean up look with pride at your home. It is a beautiful piece of property. The extra home space will come but getting yourself feeling energetic and alive is important. Stay off the golf cart it is not your friend. LOL {you said this on the podcast} You are addicted to Megs cooking. It's the comfort food kitchen.

Buggy went from a "toddler" to a "kid" in the blink of an eye! It's always a good feeling to get things cleaned up and organized. And nothing like expecting company to get you motivated! Good luck with your classes.
