When your hubby was young he built a lot of the barns etc on your farm, how about learning Wes, about building by making a car port in the corner next to your house, where you had the sheep when they were small, plenty of room and then you don’t have to worry when the bad weather comes along. Just a thought and everyone wins!

[@ThisFarmWife_]

Yes that’s a wish. Hope we can make it happen before too long

[@donaldsingleton737]

Hello Meredith, I have missed your videos. I haven’t seen any for a very long time. I’m glad you’re done very well at the horse show you’re very beautiful woman. I love you on the farm doing odds and end jobs with the family. You’re very beautiful.

[@barbarajohnson1801]

77000.00 for a horse. It’s beautiful and that hair… braids for days. I enjoyed the sightseeing at the river. The farmhouse is gorgeous. And your sweet granddad… sweet memories. Thanks for sharing

[@joethompson6362]

I truly appreciate the honesty and realism of your tube! it's true country living!!!

[@sunrain4820]

Good Morning 🥰✌🏽💐😍💕❤️

[@carinshaffer5980]

Growing up eating LOADS of steamed shrimp with Old Bay seasoning. My Mom always swore she would NEVER buy the shrimp with the heads on because it grossed her out to look at them, and she would never be able to eat them again. She never did, and good Lord, I don't think I would be able to either. Old Bay with apple cider vinegar to steam!!! Awesome! Dipped in butter altering with cocktail sauce!!!😁💜💜💜🧈🧈💜💜💜😁

[@williamjones3462]

Of course the weather clears the day you leave. I have never seen a painted outhouse. To appreciate the real 'flavor' of one it needs a Sears Roebuck catalogue. 😀😃😄 Yep, We had one when I was 5.

[@tammylangerud4894]

Thank you for another awesome video and taking us along with you on your adventures! I can't stop laughing! You are SO darn funny! The outhouse story....OMG I spit my soda out and literally laughed out loud! The shrimp.....I wouldn't have a clue how to prepare shrimp, but you are so fun to watch!😂😂😂😂 I love your personality so much, I LOVE your clothes from your store, ( I have bought A LOT of shirts!) , but most of all, I love your sweet , kind , gentle, spirit and your authentic REAL self! Thank you SO much. I feel very blessed to have found your channel!

[@ThisFarmWife_]

Glad you had a good giggle! 😂😁

[@bobbygreen2291]

Meredith,,the only time I’ve been to the beach , or coast ,,was six years ago ,,I went to oriental ,bought lots of fish at a family owned market right under that bridge,,I was there on a fishing trip , I stayed in a rented house down at arapho , I am 67 years old and this trip was my only trip of my life to the coast ,,and let me tell you ,,I loved it.

[@nealhadley1482]

Been a while since I last watched a video from you. Your kids are growing up fast. Or so it seems to me. I remember my own kids, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. Then sometimes they die. I am the one that lost a 32 year old son to this B.S. COVID Virus. Enjoy every minute with them. They are THE PURPOSE with we even have kids.

[@sunrain4820]

Here I am y’all!

[@phyllistucker554]

I absolutely loved everything about this video! The "outhouse" story made me laugh out loud, too funny and sounds like something that would happen to me..haha!

[@ThisFarmWife_]

So glad you enjoyed watching, Phyllis!! 🥰🥰

[@dalekehoe4867]

Great job Meredith Lawrence Bernard has to be one of the luckiest men in the world beautiful family

[@malinisankar4474]

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

You did good. Blessings

[@6582rg]

Merideth, you're such a spitfire of a woman. Love your content.

[@dannystanton1337]

I like the way you said oh my goodness you said that on every video

[@dannystanton1337]

I love to farm I like to drive a tractor for a living

[@seamusdaly3310]

What a beautiful sunset ❤

[@tracywhite3643]

Probably one of my favorites that you've done. I love to hear folks talk about friends and family who have gone on. Makes it seem like their lives mattered, because they did!

[@Jay388]

Wow ! This video has tripped me out . 1st I was just reading a random article I saw about places to retire and the Pamlico River area was one and I'm also fixing to turn 45 and didn't know we're the same age . Mind blown ! Lol🤯 See y'all next time 👋From Mississippi

[@ThisFarmWife_]

It's a great spot! 😁🙌

[@BillKunch-qw9ic]

Meredith, you've made another great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@workinprogress3609]

That outhouse story made me crack up, too.

[@janhjorth965]

The big rubber balls with chains and tyres on the outside are called ‘Yokohama fenders’ and are used to keep ships from other hard objects like piers, other ships etc. they float in the water and form ‘spacers’. They are very hard wearing pieces of kit.

[@becky3145]

I'm laughing with you! My Mom had a big beautiful snowball bush! Everyone would have their picture in front of it. It towered over all of us! 💚

[@sidqcampbell6892]

I have many lunches in Aurora. Aurora Industrial Supply was one of my good customers. We sold Sulphur hose and dredge sleeves to them.. Joe Hollowell was a great person... so many memories..

[@earlshaner4441]

Good evening from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures and your farm

[@1944chevytruck]

AMAZING SUNSET!..... OH I LOVE PRAWNS!

[@Wayman_Simmang]

Such a good time was had by all of you! So cool!! Esp the sunset as well!

[@buddybresett8356]

U'all deserve time off of the farm sometimes. U have to do this when it's not planting or harvest time. So it looks like u'all had a good time and thats great. Keep up the good work.

[@jamesrobertgrimes]

If you like the snowball bush put in a few Annabelle hydrangeas. Similar look and they bloom all summer.

[@tonyburelle6633]

Wonderful video, so much done, great you were able to get tack you needed, great Austin helping in the horse show, Beautiful at the river, thanks for sharing this Bernhard family

[@dalesmith8863]

That Austin can do anything

[@davidkimmel4216]

Never a dull moment with your family 😊😅

[@johnparker7874]

The wife just plunked down 50 large for a quarter horse in Texas. Having it shipped to SC , supposed to be here Friday. I just hope the horse has a good song and dance routine

[@jeffferanec4526]

Happy to see all of you, looked like a mixed bag of different kinds of fun adventures. Thank U for sharing w/ us & God Bless.

[@ThisFarmWife_]

Thank you so much for watching, Jeff!

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video, what wonderful kids you have sitting on the dock fishing in a strong wind with waves! Thanks for sharing

[@jeanhorne5893]

Thank you for sharing everything.God bless you and your family.

[@ThisFarmWife_]

Thanks for watching, Jean!

[@roberta.collins3963]

Excellent, just excellent! So much of this Podcast seemed like my former life. I'm 77 years old and all busted up from being a carpenter for close to 50 years And having Horses for trail Riding and showing both under saddle and with buggies and carriages And sleighs. I had Morgan's and quarter horses And they were all trained for riding and driving. What a life!

[@Lone-Wolf65]

This was a great video, you always crack me up Meredith, your good natured attitude is endless. That was a gorgeous horse that sold for $77 k, the dogs and horses looked happy that you were back. Usually when our dogs have skin issues and paw licking it’s because of gut parasites. Oatmeal baths do help with itchy skin.

[@leonardparker1103]

Can't beat eastern NC! Loved watching you cleaning the shrimp Merdi!

[@CCRobertsCarpentry]

Meredith your looking very pretty today enjoy watching keep up the good job thank you.😊😊😊 Burlington North Carolina. Not to far away about 30 minutes.

[@br927]

oak sawdust, bark, mulch for acidity, oak is acid! to sweeten soil, maple! Because? you make maple syrup from maple trees, sweet! I watched a horse auction, and sold a horse for 100,000 dollars! Stud service- 40,000 per! I believe the first horse was a Gypsy something! Beautiful sunset!

[@tedquaker954]

God Bless

[@henrymichaelwilson8107]

The tulips are lovely, they are very popular over here in the UK. Iris are my favourite, the blue ones is seshelly. Your pink Dianthus look nice too. A bit of potash feed would be ok.

[@grannyframmy]

Meredith- the shrimp...easy to cleanby twisting...after the head is off (twit a li to the right and left then pull off) you do the same with the body ...grab like in the middle with both hands then twist in oposite direction a little now the armor breaks and you just slipp them off easy on both ends. then you use your de-veining tool by just running it across the top back of the whole body and the "intetine" come out. its just right under the top "skin". You get the hang of it fast, I promise :) The little legs sometimes still hang on so you just pluck them off easy. Its work but the texture of not precooked shrimp and taste is crazy good! Loved the video! God bless yall!

[@patriciamills4485]

This was so fun to watch! Past my bedtime but couldn't stop watching. You tickled me deveining the shrimp. Loved seeing the horse show and your time at the river! 🥰

[@farrellfoy1284]

Send and get some ILD BAY SEASONING for your shrimp or seafood. It's mad in Maryland. It's terrific seasoning!!!

[@ThisFarmWife_]

Thanks for watching, Patricia! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@markcraig7250]

WOW!….it took me a good 3-4 minutes before I could stop laughing. The “ novelty “ outhouse story was one for granite stonemason. It’s a story that needs to be saved for many years. The kicker to the whole novelty outhouse, was the novelty tinkle that was left behind. Meredith you are top notch. The whole video was fantastic. …..still laughing!

[@rmlestes]

Thanks

[@lucyspell6526]

Meredith, you made me homesick with your trip to RE Mayo Seafood. I grew up over the bridge and a little farther down the road from there. When I was growing up that was a draw bridge. I love it when you go to Aurora and the river. The shrimp looked really good. You're right. Just a little practice and you will be using the deveiner like a pro!

[@charlenepartlow7880]

❣️love y'all !

[@michellebosworth7792]

So hilarious to watch

[@jamespritchett1886]

Hey girl them kids r growing up really fast. Y’all be safe be happy and enjoy it all the good and the bad.

[@jddriver9565]

North Carolina is so beauitful! I love it!I the only big problem is...i HATE the heat! 😅🤣 haha yea i had to laugh when you told the story about the outhouse.🤣 thank you for this great video!Always love your "NC roadtrips"! 😃

[@davidschlecht3016]

Meridith, you outdid yourself in that fantastic sunset. Great video as usual.Good to see the area you grew up in. Not enough of that today, memories.

[@mickeyjones2874]

I love gardenias! I have a plant just like yours only a little smaller. I have yellow leaves so I'm gonna try your coffee grounds.😊

[@btpearce]

You tickled me talking about using that outhouse lol. Note : The toilets on display at Home Depot and Lowes are not for use lol

[@ronaldpiper4812]

Here I go are you allready for reading between the lines? The pretty log home is pretty and well the presenter is top notch also.

Those steaks looked fantastic! 😋 yummy

[@janetlavoie2441]

Thats like fishing on the coast of Maine. Windy and rough!❤

[@gregfuji]

Good one, the auction was very enlightening .

[@scatterbolt2578]

I used to shell the shrimp before I devained them. (I grew up in eastern NC and love the coast)

[@zzzzipy12]

My kids don’t think I’m funny either, but I was rolling at the outhouse story!!! LOL

[@ritabaker3113]

Love your children. Great video

[@cherylsmith900]

On our way moving to Colorado Springs, we of course went through Kansas because we lived in Tennessee, and we stopped at this little gas station to fill up and the bathrooms were out houses. They had his and hers out houses and my son was only two years old so my husband had to hold him up because he was afraid he was going to fall in the hole lol.

[@ThisFarmWife_]

Hahaha

[@jimkaufman977]

Hey from Ohio , great video Meredith. Meredith you looked like you were glowing from ear to ear in this video. The horse auction and trip to pamlico river the outhouse story . My mother called them prevy. 👋👋❤️

[@mudweimer768]

We use a spoon on a cutting board to remove the heads fast then peel by hand if you want to remove the vain witch i only do if I’m frying them I just split the back open with a knife much easier

[@rmedlinnc]

Can't believe you've never headed shrimp! You'll learn!! Just need a hundred pounds to head! LOl!

[@harrytaylor6854]

You make me chuckle every time love it that was an amazing horse $77.000 00 wow my friend buys and sells and shows horse he's payed a lot for some of them I just shake my head and think that's more than I payed for house and hundred acres

[@repairman969]

ya did hit the jackpot LOL That Kentucky tach is going to make that whole farm run better LOL

[@alrightmotivational]

Howdy from Canada! Believe it or not we are getting temperatures around 82 deg F. today in Ontario, normal is around 52 deg. Meredith that sunset over the mountains was incredible. God Bless you all!

I’m a little late commenting but I love seeing the Pamlico River in eastern North Carolina in the video. I’ll have to tell my wife about it to possibly visit in the future. I see why you like to go there Meredith. It’s a beautiful place with a lot of country and sea mixed together.
