I don't think I've ever commented...but I HAVE to. The coolest thing about Asher that I have seen is that he can stand there, facing a fear, admit he's nervous, but persevere through it. Cooler than breezing through something with confidence. Cooler than the awesome red hair. Doing something hard in pursuit of connection and growth. Go Asher go!

[@saralindquist464]

I SO agree, Breanna! Such a strong, cool thing for him to do! Hello from Boston, Massachusetts, Asher! Y'all are just the greatest, sweetest family.

Y'all could build a summer kitchen or kitchen shed. It would be useful in the future for processing your increased harvest and would give you somewhere to cook in the meantime.

Yes! I actually just commented the same thing. A summer kitchen and a root cellar. Something to tie them over now and can be very useful for future use.

[@charlenekociuba7396]

You should look into passive house design! It’s using the design of the house to your advantage in regards to heating and cooling: planting trees in specific spots to keep the house cool in the summer, angling the roof overhangs to block summer sun but let in winter sun. It’s environmentally friendly and cost effective!

Asher! Don't feel badly about being uncomfortable in front of the camera. It's completely normal to be shy when you're young. As someone who is introverted, I was very shy when I was your age, and I still prefer to not be the center of attention. But don't fret about it: socializing will get easier the more you do it. Hope to see more of you and that wild hair in future videos.

Build the ducks and geese a coop and keep them in it for a while, and they will stay when allowed out during the day. Train them to return to the coop at night.

We moved to KY with 4 kids and thr oldest was 7 at the time. They DEFINITELY are getting a southern accent and it warms my heart!

[@amaz21]

I’ve always heard that the biggest influence on accent development is a child’s peers (or whoever they spend the most time with during those pre-teen years) and that by adolescence their accent becomes less malleable. If that’s true, the younger boys seem like they’d be in their primes for drawl development!

It’s like you’re telling the story of my and my family’s current life. We too are moving our family and goats across the country, ready to build our farm from scratch, and not knowing what every step will look like. Our home is sold, we close in a month, then we head to east Tennessee! And we don’t have property to move to yet 😆. It’s huge, and exciting, and scary. Best of luck to you all, and blessings on you. We’ll be joyfully watching your journey.

I'm not a homesteader, but I do grow some veggies in pots. I also live in NE TN and we have great weather here. I hope you will find your property soon.

Your son with the red hair its a cool kid, he is so shy and also out there at the same time, you need a strong personality to pull off red hair like he is doing😉

Gosh, Asher is so cute with his introverted self. (I’m a girl btw) He’s gonna be a heartbreaker soon. He looks so good with his red hair.

RUTHS BABY STAYS!!! I literally cannot tell you how happy this makes me 😂😂😂 I just jumped for joy!!!! Lastly, as a west coast girl, I didn’t know there were different accents in the south 😂 I am about to go look up what a South Carolina accent is. I love southern accents so now I’m like “what have I been missing?!! There are different ones?!” 🤯🤪😍

It’s so awesome to hear that you just felt led by God to move, our family looks at us like we are nuts because we are prepping to move to North Carolina simply because we feel that it’s what God wants us to do. It’s just so reassuring to hear someone in a similar situation

🤩 My face when you said the Midlands and then 30 mins outside of Columbia 🥰 Welcome Home Friends

It has been so awesome to watch the Lord move in your lives. It's all about faith.

My wife and I are huge fans. You’ve started us on a path to an eclectic garden that we love. We’re about a half hour away from your new home and would love to meet y’all when you’re settled.
