Walking On Water

[@rons3236]

I've watched some of the Shorts on how Justin made homesteading profitable. I think Justin's success is totally a consequence of his love for his family, the land he has inherited to stewart, and the animals and plants that sustain them. The love is what makes him successful.

I really appreciate seeing Jonah and Josiah working to repair and rebuild the homestead after the Hurricane disaster that struck your area! They are fine young men. Gideon is learning and helping a lot too, Lily is going to be a wonderful Mom and homemaker someday too! Her cooking abilities are far better than a lot of adults! Lily is so good working with and riding Blaze! 🤗😇🌟🙏🏻😎👍

[@donnamays24]

So so true! Absolutely amazing kids…speaks volumes of their parenting❤

[@terrihart2133]

Hopefully all of them can cook. My son's are better or as good cooks than their wives.

[@diannemiller4754]

Good old belly laugh when Henry scooted down the stairs. "I was faster " 😊❤

[@BlueberryGirl723]

Just adore little Henry! He is all for hard work, no coat, and near zer0 temps! His little soul caught on to what dad was doing, and gave Justin a look of just you wait and see dad what I’m made of! Truly a Rhodes! 😊

[@susiebyler5226]

Justin I am a new follower of yours and I so appreciate the simplicity that you bring to the table. You talking about the chickens blessed me. That is exactly what we use to do on the home farm and always had an abundance of eggs.

[@LB-gr7gu]

Gideon Gideon??? 😂😂 Love that you all had the chance to walk on water .. we do it every winter 👣🇨🇦 .. happy day lovely family ❤️❤️❤❤❤❤❤❤ 👍

[@jacksonfarmestate]

Can't wait for spring!

[@neenautube2]

What a treat "Walking on Water"!! Thank Y'all So much, for the Info on the Dishes!!!!

[@paulawynne6420]

That little one loved the beach!

[@mrfixit5404]

They do make an electric pipe wrap for your frozen heating pipes. I think it can be thermostatically controlled so it only turns on below a specific temperature. This might help in the unheated walls/spaces.

[@jimc5096]

Yes. It is used by almost everyone in the North who live in the rural areas and in house trailers to keep their pipes from freezing. Not very expensive and saves thousands in pipe and building repairs.

[@hoppas77]

Welcome home. We missed you.

I like the impromptu parts of your days. Kids bring real. Your normal reaction among st them ❤

[@jacquelinesanders7866]

Maybe you could put hose holders on the root cellar wall to hang up your hoses and keep them off the ground. Love watching your family do the every day stuff.

[@edieboudreau9637]

Everyone needs a reset after an "indulgence break!". I'm with you there!!!

[@amyv8416]

Henry looks like Jonah in the little beginning clip.

[@Chief667]

5:33 the edit right when you step on Henry's shirt lol

[@karaleeann1211]

Henry standing on the chair making hot chocolate reminded me of the book The Glass Castle, the main character recounts a story of standing on a chair to cook hotdogs! Great (hilarious) book if you haven’t read it. Btw the hotdog story didn’t end well. 😱❤🤙

[@WandaLohr-xp6xx]

We have a creek smaller than yours and some years my husband used a sledge hammer to open up water for the cows

[@sharoncochran8508]

Henry is so cute!

[@warrenwilliams363]

Winnie is a star❣️ ⭐️

[@marywesley316]

Eggs are about to go up again. My hens will be 2 in a couple of months, and they did not produce like I thought they would for about a month, they’re starting to pick up some. But I only have 18 hens. I have not put artificial light, but I have added some layer to a feeder of theirs. They get a lot of our scraps which is mostly what we’ve grown or meats from our neighboring farmer. I was at Publix a couple of weeks ago and a 16 pack of eggs was over $8.00. Thankful mine have started back.

[@AgentTrust]

❤ happy day lovely people!

[@life_with_laurie]

I think the solution to the animals pooping in their drinking water is to attach a blue barrel to a post in the pole barn with the nozzle at head level. I think this would work just fine for the sheep but am not sure if the cows would drink from a nozzle. If not, a trough elevated to head height would do the trick. Perhaps build a supportive framework that could hold one and make it so it can fold out of the way or be removed when not needed like during the summer time when the pigs are in there.

[@venessalawrence7712]

Dangerous spot for Henry to be standing on a chair over a gas flame. 😮

[@lindasmith5190]

The ice walk was scary!

[@FranklyFranky]

If you’re concerned about your pipes freezing, leave your water running throughout the day. It doesn’t need to be having all of your faucets on full blast constantly but make sure there’s some movement for at least one sink but I would try to make the majority of your sinks, continue to tricklefor a couple of days until this freezing weather passes because you don’t have the insulation as northerners due on our pipes because this weather isn’t normal in your area, obviously.

[@knottymom88]

Lilly thinking its 30 degrees when actually 14 degrees is mind blowing to this San Diego native..Im currently bundled up head to toe (w/flip-flops course lol) it is 64 degrees!!! If it dips below 72 the "winter gear " comes out 😂😂😂

[@karlaschaffner6592]

I liked the content today.

[@sherihenderson9595]

I always have my boys turn the chair around, tall part in the back, so they don't tip back. Safety.

[@leahharbison4932]

[@JStoner777]

We have chickens (backyard homesteaders ATM). Everything I've read says 2+ is too old to eat. Do y'all eat yours? If so, what are your tips & tricks??

[@beckybox2596]

Lily has many mannerism as Rebekah. Listening to her name her lambs was precious. You’re making me nervous walking on ice. 😮

[@michellejones5606]

How do you keep track of chix Eggs layers age. Do you call all of your layers at the same time and replace them with new?

[@sewbeit221]

I am interested in the jugs and covers you use to take water on vacation

[@lilianrhodes-heatley6443]

I just saw a post about a wild fire in WNC 😳I'm really hoping there will be no further loss of life or property loss or damage! This is the last thing these people need going on 😔

[@CharleneEvenson]

You really need to insulate the outside walls.

[@helenhelps9619]

You good iceskate on it.

[@virginiabrundage5700]

Justin what did you do to your hand? After you got the last batch of eggs I noticed your hand by your wrist was bleeding!

[@fredeerickbays]

when u went to 5 here we got down to -20 Tomorrow the 30th will be 37 and mon going to 47 before going clod again

[@crystellastringer6650]

emergency important information would be great to put in you budgets as well like a go bag

[@michaelboisvert760]

Low pressure because you have partially frozen water lines

[@carolynspaulding6322]

Ice is dangerous when you go through you float down stream Scary

[@LakesideQuiltmakingArts]

Dec 2022 deep freeze… the lake froze that deeply then too, surely? 😅

[@michaelboisvert760]

All those lines should be insulated and wrapped

[@childagod207]

Even Your daughter has become cold weather hardy

[@Andbygrace7024]

Stupid walking on that lake....too risky😮

[@h.b.1421]

the ice was 8 or 10" thick (they showed a piece of the ice a couple of videos back) , even a car could have driven over it without breaking into the lake

[@michellewright5470]

Love your family ❤

[@rongarrett1366]

I checked on Google. It's not blasphemous to name newborn lambs after Disciples.

[@joyceclark8163]

Humm, did you check an actual Bible using an exhaustive concordance

[@rongarrett1366]

@@joyceclark8163 No, I just checked Google. The Bible does say that Jesus calls his followers his sheep and his lambs.

[@ashleylovepace1941]

I am terrified of my kids around a gas stove. Not sure where you get the confidence. Maybe you could explain your thoughts on it

[@ritamaiorelle4801]

Justin, put an old door screen over the water and they'll poop on it

[@ritamaiorelle4801]

That won't work unless you put it along the sides that they're pooping

[@BarbR-d7w]

Where is the mother?! Oh right…acupuncture or online shopping…

[@CherylNunn-v5q]

Walking onto a frozen lake is very dangerous, yet you let your whole family go out on it. What gives?

[@chris-lindasmith8194]

I would not let a little one by a stove making hot milk with only a younger brother

[@FranklyFranky]

We won hundred percent saw you step on your kid. Try to cut that out better next time.

[@kathylane5934]

You scare me. I am old
