We Had To Stop Before We Got Too Much On Us! Podcast Ep.110

[@dawnmorrow8115]

My Dad always told me, "Do the best you can with what you have in the time you have to do it in; that's all an angel can do." Y'all are angels in my book.

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

Brooke, I FULLY understand how it makes you nervous to have people at your house. I'm the same way!! Y'all had me laughing out loud about the nook / nuke......peCAN / pe-con pronunciation discussion!! Soooooo funny that people get their panties all in a wad over something so simple!!! I LOVE that you're to the point in your KZbin journey that you can just laugh it off. Part of the charm of the COGHILL channel is the down south pronunciation of words and terms! Personally, I LOVE Y'ALL......ESPECIALLY your pronunciation of words!

[@sandeepettit696]

y'all are busier than a cat in a sandbox💓

[@DONNABROWN1959]

It happened to Lester. Just ask him. In case I forget, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! I love my Cog Hill family!! Be safe! Prayers and Blessings always

[@paperchaser9565]

The house comes first, doing the floors, the doors, the door knobs, so so many things, I understand you guys are busy busy busy! You both, all have accomplished so much! Plus you have to concern yourself with that pond erosion area, then making sure you have feed for all your animals, there's a lot on your plate, you need a platter! Lol 😂. I just love this channel!

[@beverleysims9302]

Enjoy your channel

[@carolcalf2032]

Saying thank you to everyone during the mail opening will be sufficient. Nothing fancy just THANK YOH to everyone, that’s it job done. You don’t have the time and those who sent packages don’t need anymore that that. Just be yourselves that’s all us Cog Squad subscribers want. Love you all ❤️❤️❤️ Mildred and Mooman. I’m with you and harnesses the only thing perhaps when they go to their permanent pasture you build some sort of small enclosure where you can tie them up to hold them in case you need a vet etc. only an idea.

[@sandragillingham6255]

I agree Carol with your comment. It's also fun watching them opening the gifts and their sweet expressions are enough of a thank you 😊. A one time thank you at the end is enough. If no one knows that they aren't appreciative they should go watch all CH videos then they can see they are 😊

[@happyplacehomesteaddannac9120]

Brooke!!! I LOVE my zero turn…. I am with you girl!!! I don’t know what I would choose!!! I look forward to getting my tractor!

[@sheiladecker9802]

Y'all don't worry none about what others think you should be doing or saying! It is YOUR land YOUR life.. Let people worry about their own stuff!!! Just ignore it all and live YOUR best life!!! That is ALL that matters at the end of the day. I love every thing Y'all got going on! If it looks, feels and seems good to you.. Then it's good! What is right for you maybe not right for others. Like you always say. "do what works for you"

[@carolynwhite2]

One of the things that I love about your channel is how much you love and care for all your animals. It's so obvious how much you care about them.

[@DonnaLightfoot]

My goodness people just need to chiilll on the way ya'll say things 🤣 good gracious me.. another great podcast! As always much love frm ks 💕

[@suehartwigsen1655]

Howdy Jason, Brooke & MaryCarl. Love your family 👨‍👩‍👧 and the Coghill 40. Your house is looking so great along with the pond & fruit orchard. 😍

[@paperchaser9565]

Moody's shelter needs to be 8/9 feet tall, lol 😂! I was way way impressed with the "Elton John" statement for waiting in line at the Petals event! So impressed.

[@marybroussard043]

Good Evening my beautiful Cog Hill Family & Squad!

[@cynthiadeschoolmeester256]

I really enjoyed my Arkansas Black apples. They are hard and crisp, which I much prefer over sweeter softer apples. Who cares how you pronounce words as long as people understand you? I adore your podcasts and videos!!!

[@kathylenn9153]

Oh my goodness you still have to seal your concrete floors in your new home, you all have had such a big "To do" list that I am awestruck that you have done as much as you have done. You have taken 40 raw acres & had to establish a farm where there was nothing but a meadow & woods. YOU TWO have accomplished so very much with all new fencing, animal & foul shelters, the new housing, along with the love & care of the farm life & maintenance in addition to the start up your new farm. I am amazed at how much you two have accomplished. May the Lord cover you with His goodness & Grace love your farm, from a great granny at the Space Coast of Florida

[@AB-ol5uz]

I really like the idea of just pushing back the different animal paddocks, along with a gate between the new and old sections, so that you can let the front areas recover (and even reseed them to help build up the type of grass in those areas). And the built in benefit of shade can make the summer/fall paddock and the front area the winter/spring - more direct sun.

[@zaviahopethomas-woundedsou9848]

That grass stretch near the road would be wonderful filled with wildflowers then it would only need mowing once a year at most!

[@wintersong5934]

You know, the reason I come here to spend time with you is because you are so genuine and down to earth. You are so comfortable to be around. I love the fact that I can feel at home around you. Don't ever change. And give yourselves a break. Your all just what we all need. Funny, hard-working smart and witty. Have a great evening.

[@paperchaser9565]

I thought feeling at home is great with this family.

[@Marilou586]

Hello Jason and Brooke. ❤❤❤❤ the weather here has been below freezing at night and no higher than 40 during the day brrrr. I sure can't wait until it warms up.🥰🥰🥰 Also I just want to say that I lost my brother to lung disease and it was due to pigeon feces 😭😭 He kept them in his house most of the time. So Please stay safe.🙏🙏

[@stephaniewilson3955]

That is why they are very careful about cleaning MaryCarl's room when she is raising babies and the rest stay in the coop, which is cleaned regularly.

[@carricowherd3826]

That's awesome about the okie Homesteading expo! I've already told Brandi that I want to be a vendor again too. It was such an amazing experience to be there. The people were just so happy and pleasant.

[@laurencarleton236]

Ya'll are doing GREAT!!!!!

[@paperchaser9565]

Marycarl is such a beautiful young lady. It's so nice to see all these children grow up with the channel. I watch the Hollar Homestead and they have young children and watching them grow up. That's just an example of the many channels I watch.

[@maryjo4712]

Dont get discouraged Brook 😊💖 Mildred love's you , she is like a kitten or puppy leaving & pushing away from mommy trying to show her independents.. But she love's you to the moon & back💖 you are her human mommy... Everything is looking Amazing and y'all are Amazing!..

[@carolynangel4340]

I love you both, so thankful for the opportunity to be part of the "Cog Squad". 🙂

[@lindahipp8329]

Things are looking good on the "40". All the animals are looking good, the house is taking shape, the orchard and flower garden areas are growing right along and pond area looks great. Y'all just need to take maybe an hour a day to chill instead of running full steam ahead almost twenty four hours a day. Take care and stay safe out there. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.

[@patricksymons1634]

Hello Linda

[@Ms.CC_]

Jason’s accent Is what made me follow the channel. I love it. I’m from Texas so I understand everything.

[@laurasimpson7211]

Zero is so much faster than a tractor! We had close to 5 acres and the zero cut all of it in half the time as the tractor we had!

[@barbarapettry6817]

"It's a plateful," more like a Big Bowlful!!! Y'all take Care and smell the flowers!!🙂

[@Peggy30]

I can't imagine someone implying not to put the plastic on the greenhouse! WOW! Ya'll are working hard, and your place looks awesome! You should take 50 mg of Zinc every day. It is the cure for the common cold and flu. I haven't been sick since I been taking it for over a year now. My bones hurt sometimes, well more often than not. lol God has Blessed your family and I'm very happy to be allowed to watch both your channels. Thank you for sharing. I however also do not have a green thumb, but I have figured out what breeds of chickens to raise to get the Jumbo Cornish x. Many years of studying and trying.

[@kerrylynnparsons9441]

You take care of your needs first. Gradually your to do list will decrease. Starting a whole new homestead from scratch is a monumental event! Y’all have done a whole magic show in bringing the new Cog Hill Farm to reality!!! 😊❤️🎶😎🌺🌻🌸🌞🇨🇦

[@sandrablack2947]

Priority, Priority, Priority! You guys know exactly what you have to do, the order you have to do it, and you are doing it! We are just along for the ride. Thank you for the joyous ride.

[@paperchaser9565]

And we are enjoying the ride!

[@judithgillis267]

You all are busier then a one are paper hanger. You all have got more done than most people couldn't get that much done. It looks so nice.

[@vmcougarintn5035]

Judith, did you mean "a one-armed paper hanger"?😁 Whichever, you are so right.

[@amyhoots3168]

Good evening Cog Hill and all of the Cog Squad. Y’all don’t stretch yourselves out too much. It will get done sooner or later. The greenhouse and barndominium are looking wonderful. Pine straw for the entryway sounds very lovely. We have a o-turn. The yard takes 1/3 of the time to cut now. Nook or nuc- they both sound good to me. I love listening to your podcasts. You have such peaceful voices. Y’all interact so well. Take care.

[@carolcalf2032]

Evening So pleased to be notified that you had another podcast out. Brooke you are so correct when you say that it was a good job you didn’t try to do the house by yourselves. It must be difficult selecting what you both work on daily! Paying others to do what they are experts at is the smart choice because nobody else can do your vlogs and podcasts, you are the experts on your channel! Progress is going at an amazing rate guys, just look at what you have achieved in such a short period. Keep up the good work Mr and Mrs Cog Hill ! Love watching and listening to you.

[@Wanda370Z]

The progress on your property is amazing. I still think you should plant Lavender...it has so many purposes and you can't beat the smell. It's so easy to grow too and very pretty in thick masses.

[@csnanny1882]

Maybe they don’t like to smell it. Some people don’t.

[@skylachamard7444]

I'm allergic.

[@lorainewhite727]

The bees would absolutely lu-urve the lavender.

[@pamelaroden5513]

Every time my youngest child had to go on any extended trip in a car or van she would throw up, so we had to put blinds up on both sides of where she sat. It was always a mess having to travel, we missed years of Christmas and Thanksgiving with family until she finally grew out of it.

[@phyllislowry6265]

Awesome podcast! I just love the way y'all talk, expecially Jason. When he is feeding the animals & says "come on & get you some" Or "y'all come on" I just love it. Reminds me of some of my family from SE MO & my late husband's family who were in Atlanta ...Y''all surely have done so much to the Cog Hill 40 for the time you have been there. I know y'all work hard!

[@sjcben1105]

Greenhouse does look awesome can’t wait to see what you do with it

[@megslittlehouseinthecountry]

Good evening. I am loving all the progress you have been doing on the 40. You'll get the aviary finished in due time. Don't worry about it. The barndominium is looking so good! Just a few more weeks, from the way it looks. Definitely by fall. 🤔

[@AB-ol5uz]

Brooke is ready for a bathtub and Jason is ready for a larger shower :D

[@gmdelatorre3759]

Your Right Jason, the way you and Brook speak, adds extra Charm to your videos. You both are the hardest working KZbinr's. I appreciate you all. GM

[@hamrad645]

Jason and Brooke, I feel your pain! Been there, done that! We had our house (the one in which we live) built and moved out of a house where we had lived for 27 years. Talk about a job! You've got so much going on -- we only had a move from one house to another. You've got so much going on. It's hard!

[@hamrad645]

P. S. It is perfectly understandable that you don't want dozens of people converging on your farm. That's hard to handle. I don't like unexpected company either!

[@hamrad645]

P. S. Brooke, I'm glad your "spots" turned out to be nothing.

[@lorainewhite727]

@@hamrad645 i have recently subbed Hidden Heights Farmstead & they have been having umpteen problems with squatters on a piece of family - owned land with a creek running through it. (The creek being the problem thanks to government legislation by the looks of it) So I'm glad CHF are not opening a petting zoo (or anything else) to the public. Keep CGF as just that a flower farm or whatever you choose to cultivate & keep intruders out especially by your pond/dam. Have a Blessed life.❤🦚🐈‍⬛🐔🐄🌻🕺🦆🐐🦃🐓💕

[@melodybrim1974]

We are only getting snip-it’s of all your doing. It’s looking awesome 👏 Having Greg and Brandt was a smart decision and what’s best for your family.

[@kelliesmith257]

Love the accent love the personalities makes the channel don't change anything

[@sandragillingham6255]

Agree!

[@christinecoe1827]

It’s a different piece of property, so you need different tools to manage it. You can get a much finer cut with a mower, it will be much more refined and dense as a lawn. Better sooner than later.

[@sueratliff3687]

Happy Thursday evening Jason Brooke MaryCarl. Hope y’all are doing well. Loving the progress on the 40🌻🌼🐓🐖🦃🐄. Much love from Mount Juliet TN

[@carolinepetersen1452]

Love how you tackle problems with grace and flexibility. You get bad news and you think of a new solution. Bravo! Been on too many customer service calls when caller doesn't hear what they want and rage with the most foul and abusive language ever heard. Thanks for being a positive example! Blessings!

[@misstlc7136]

Wow... You guys are moving like greased lighting! You've had the best people and worked it like a well oiled machine getting it together!! Good for you! And..... you haven't thrown stones at others or whined about how hard you have worked and wanted recognition. I love your channel and yall are just awesome. Give Nuggo and Moody some love from me.

[@jahrulz247]

I love ❤ the way you both talk ...don't change it please ! God Bless you both and MC too

[@MsBee-cf5zx]

I was so glad to see you two tonight🥰🥰🥰

[@debbiecustard5225]

You are on the right track keep up the great work

[@puddytat30141]

🌹I was surprised and delighted to see this tonight! I planted a fig tree and it died! I’m special like that. Jason you should check into a Loquat tree. My grandma had one and they are the best plums ever. 🌹

[@lorainewhite727]

We had a loquat tree outside our front door in our childhood home. They had 2 to 3 pits & not much flesh per fruit. Must admit I'd never describe it as a plum but Google's one name for it is a Japanese plum! Wish I'd a tree now reading up about it's health properties.

[@WarmFuzzyVibes]

Yeah, I have two new fig trees, and one looks peaked, like the leaves not good. I did everything I was supposed to do, but....too much water?!

[@sandragillingham6255]

Hello CogHill & CogSquad, it's a cold Thursday evening of 4C here in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 😊 Rain and snow brought in our cold front.

[@evalinawarne1337]

I used to white water raft at RIVER RUN around May 2 4- July 4. From S.E.Michigan. I was born in Long Branch, Toranto🇨🇦👍👍🇨🇦 living in Michigan 🇺🇸🌹🀄✝️🛐

[@paperchaser9565]

Well stay warm up north if you can. 🙏🏻

[@karenspitzer7416]

Thanks for taking the time to share with us during such a hectic time for you guys. We know how busy you have been , so don't worry about missing a gift opening your animals and your homes and your family should always come first. I love watching , even love the little clips that Jason adds once in awhile. The Moo Man and Nugget, and Peaches and all the critters just love seeing them all when you get the time to show us. So mow your grass Brooke, wear your bonnet, and Jason and Marycarl plant your seeds and everything so we can enjoy what you all are doing. God Bless you All. Thanks for sharing.

[@WarmFuzzyVibes]

Y'all don't need apologize for anything! We love you, maybe too much at times, and you have real lives and a house to get built, and so many more "must do's" that it would make my head spin if I was you, so please please know you are right to put things into proper perspective and not try to please everyone all the time!

[@christyhinkley393]

I finally caught y'all at the beginning!!!! Yeah 😂. In VA beach we pack away winter when the heat finally comes and stays. But we NEVER pack away spring. As we have times in Jan and Feb that winter clothes are too heavy. We get 70's when it was 30 the day before. Have the polar plunge with people wearing shorts and t shirts the beginning of February.

[@1MartinWaite]

Good morning Cog squad leaders.

[@larrywhitaker4667]

Howdy fun time with the cog cast

[@donnaflanagan6612]

Heh guys. Great podcast. I think your idea about extending each pasture right back to the trees is excellent, & you could put gates between each one so you can change it around however you want &/or need. Seems like supplies for almost everything has been impacted. It is similar over here in Australia. Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰

[@davinawonderling9361]

I love your southern drawls, ya'll ☺️. You keep being you ❤️

[@pamelahouser3487]

Good evening, Jason, Brooke and MaryCarl! I’m enjoying your videos and farm life. I’ve learned so much as you’ve built your dream property. Your barndominium is beautiful, the pond is terrific, the garden and greenhouse are so loving. I’m tickled at what all you’ve done. Don’t worry about your Purple Palace and how behind you are…it’s none of our business…it is your life and you are busy and you are doing fine. I love this. I wish I could see you in person, but as a senior who doesn’t drive any longer, that is impossible. I love you showing us the places you go and the people you meet. Brooke, I have those spots all over, more so since I’m older. I’ll be praying for you.🙏🏻💕🙋🏼‍♀️

[@terrykunst3883]

Ya’all Are so precious! Just love hearing all you’re accomplishing. Your accent is part of you, and we LOVE 💕 You!

[@cathymorasch4164]

The way you talk is one of the best things about you, love you just like you are. Can’t beat that southern charm. You two are so busy, things are getting done and soon you’ll be in your new home, so exciting!

[@deborrahdutra5599]

You all don't change Please I like you the way you are

[@palucas]

I really can't imagine all the work you all do and understand completely that you don't have time for anything else. I get tired just seeing all you do and I'm sure you do a lot that we don't see. I love hearing some of your pronunciations, I think it's adorable, don't ever change! 🥰🥰🥰

[@shalakruep]

They are absolutely adorable 🥰 love the Smith family. ❤️

[@lindacarroll6896]

I think it is wonderful that you can use your driving talents to transport all those people so they can share their talents!

[@lindatucker6485]

Please don’t forget this is your dream and your life. Your followers are just walking through it. I realize to me and them you have become family and everyone cares but you don’t need to apologize for living your life. Keep up the great job you are doing. 👍❤️

[@MsBee-cf5zx]

Make your newsletter a monthly thing or even a quarterly publication 🥰❣️🥰

Well said and I agree

[@sandragillingham6255]

[@sandragillingham6255]

You guys are on the right track and your doing an awesome job with prioritizing too 😊 I don't watch you to critize you I think it's awesome that you do all this hard work to give us some watching enjoyment. I even enjoy watching the older videos when you are delayed in posting 😊

[@annfore2573]

Take care of your business, do what you need to do and we'll still be here waiting. 🥰 Excited anytime you post!! I am amazed at how much you get done in a week. Keep on truckin.

[@helmuthschultes9243]

Priorities have to change sometimes. Seasons change and that means certain activities are required appropriate to the season, that demands attention independant of prior planning.

[@001Hershey]

Hi Jason and Brooke, I am an Insurance Agent here in Calif and I totally agree with you on the Insurance subject. People are so suit happy, looking for a fast buck. That happened to Lester a couple of years ago, if you remember. So sad the world has come to this! I remember when I was in grammar school how we looked forward to visiting a farm and being able to pet the animals, to bad children today missing that experience. You all have a great weekend! Hugs to you both!💕

[@deborahtofflemire7727]

Yuuuup welcome all you guys. Ontario Canada

[@kathrynkramer8345]

We will take whatever time and activities you have to give/share with us! Thanks!

I wish you a Happy Anniversary! Brooke you are such an angel for taking good care of your Mama!

[@sheliaoneil5127]

Jason,andBrook, how you ever get your podcasts out, is truly beyond me, with everything else you need to do,is beyond me. I can't wait for the time when your flower stand is up and running, and I'm sure the thought of that, and what has to get done panics you, it would me!! Could you tell me why you can't grow peonies here, cause I had beautiful peonies in Washington State, and Alabama is in the same Zone?? Love you guys ❤

[@sandragillingham6255]

Jason and Brooke, I love watching you guys from afar and never think about meeting you. It's not that I don't care or like you; it's not me. I don't get excited over movie actors, musicians, etc (you know what I mean)..lol..I think about how busy you are just living life, so why would I want to bother you and come to your farm. I think it's exciting that you give us a sneak preview of your life..haha

[@dianalyman5950]

You doing you is truly the best thing this pianet has going for it so don't go faster than your guardian angel can fly.🤗🌈💛

[@lorieo4197]

Hey all love all that you do and want to say thank you for letting us in your lives please dont take this the wrong way but maybe you could cut down on the vids until things slow down a little you guys have so much going on and need to focus on the 40 one video and one pod cast would be ok we will all understand just dont want you to get to overwhelmed just a thought

[@csnanny1882]

They get paid for videos, and I’m sure they can use that money.

[@conniecrossan4422]

This is a busy time for all gardeners and farmers, then add building a house. Don't beat yourself up and if someone is being critical, ignore them. If you have a garden/farm, this is a critical time of the year. I am getting so busy, I am not able to watch you as often so I am glad you got behind so I could catch up...ha, ha. Enjoy your wonderful property and farm, and don't be so hard on yourselves for being human. I love whatever you have time to do, but I understand when you have to make life a priority as I am sure the majority of your viewers do. I know I couldn't do as much as you are all doing. THANK YOU.

[@LLjean-qz7sb]

I bet Tucker will be the first one to try out your "doggie door"! All your progress on the "40" is amazing! Your journey is truly "God Driven"! God Bless!

Some of us are just thankful for just bein apart of your journey personality quirts fears anxiety country bumpkin accents and all ! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@lifebyhope8624]

Hey Jason & Brooke, I have to tell you... when I can't sleep in the evenings, I put in my ear buds and listen to your podcast. Guess what?? I stay awake because I have to keep listening! 🤣❤️👍 I can't wait to see the sunflowers in full bloom! 🌻When we get moved into our new home I plan to get some of the COGHILL FARM sunflowers! By the way, thank you for all that you share with us. It takes a lot of time and effort making videos on top of keeping up with the Coghill 40!

[@debbycolflesh7892]

Don’t apologize for your busy lives. I know at times you are overwhelmed but just do what you have to do. I (we) will be here and eagerly waiting and watching whatever you post whenever. “we are family)”. Love you guys.🥰

[@lindat.fromillinois2560]

Hi. Love the podcast. Do not burn yourself out. Please. I love watching you & do what you can at your own pace. Me will see you when we see you. We can adjust. 👍❤🙂

[@regenare-booted]

i agree with you on the halter. I grew up on a ranch my dad always told us to talk the halters off when we were finished with washing, walking or whatever we were doing. I was in a hurry to get in and get a shower and get to town, so i didn't take it off. My horse got caught in the fence, he cut his leg really bad, left a scar and if my brother hadn't got to the lot my horse was in when he did he probably would have torn the whole fence down and done worse damage. So I agree

[@ruthhatcher6941]

You’ll be fine once things settle down and your house done. Some folk don’t realize how much time it takes when your farming.

[@jenniferr2057]

And how stressful building a house is!

[@lenoredafoe4715]

I’m not sure how you do all you do. It’s amazing. I love your videos and they add joy to my days. I am not sitting here judging what you do. Ever. Thanks for thinking of us.

[@shirleyalavez7387]

I love your podcast!! Love the whole content, especially when you cover and clarify questions. The farm looks soo good! Amazing what you two have accomplished already. One suggestion. Maybe if you're able to spend a roughly half an hour recording gifts sent to you a couple times a month or so, it wouldn't be so overwhelming. I do know you don't have lots of free time being soo busy with everything you do, but when you receive them, pick them up...if they're stored in the order received, you could show your gift givers in a more timely manner and it hopefully won't take you hours and be so overwhelming. Just a suggestion. I do enjoy your site, all 3 of you and all the animals. Plus the 40 is gorgeous!!! ♥️

[@robinmorgan9429]

Have fun and don’t worry about us keep your smile and don’t change who you are

[@chrisryan5339]

Thanks again for sharing your life experience with us all. Most enjoyable and entertaining. Chris from England.

That would be so awesome to take a big ol bus cross country with a bunch of folks like you! Imagine the hilarity that would ensue!
