I could watch the animals all day. You guys are awesome. Yes to more videos.

[@eileenmccabe671]

These are all such beautiful animals, thank you for caring for them. I like the idea of the shorts, I would enjoy those

[@kimberlyconnell1354]

Honestly, that does not look like a lot of snow. Maybe it is for where you are but heck looks pretty much like we see all winter! Get yourself a plow I think you will need that!! Stay safe whatever you do...

[@SissyKay]

Watch the video. They have a plow. Her hubby was using it.

[@jeremybuchanan6622]

What an awesome job you are doing taking care of all of those animals.

[@jodieauckland8864]

[@1807FarmhouseDiaries]

Awe! That's so sweet! xxx

[@Susan-n3o3e]

More videos would be wonderful. I love your videos. Thank you for sharing.❤

[@felicialong6546]

Y’all do an amazing thing for these animals. I’m so glad you found your perfect home for you and for them.

[@MamaBear4295]

February in New England is usually when we get the most snow. Upwards of 24 -36 inches at a time, plus the winds and frigid temps. Buckle in. Good luck.

[@Mary0005able]

That clip of Mat and the horses show how happy they are to be loved! I would love shorts with just a tiny little bit of music pretty please!

[@elaineconn7393]

Bless you both for dedicating your life & time to these animals. Stay safe & may God continue to bless you!

[@Laura-vv6cf]

I love all the names of your animals! The horses do look happy and completely trust you guys. It probably took some time for them to learn to trust again after past traumas. You guys are wonderful to watch! Shoveling snow and breaking up then scooping ice is hard work. Yes, to shorts, please ❤ I would love a short of the stars at night!

[@1807FarmhouseDiaries]

Ohhh good idea!

[@loricairns3459]

More videos, please. Love watching how you take care of your home and animals. Mathew’s relationship with the horses is absolutely beautiful. ❤️

[@vyemarshall859]

LOL. Snowed in!!! As someone who grew up in Maine in The County where snowstorm were measured in feet rather than inches, people today just lose it over 2-4 inches of snow. Maine hasn't seen a real Nor'easter that produces that amount of snow in decades. Doubtful we will ever see it again in my lifetime as it seems winters in Maine are extremely tame nowadays.

[@marychristensen4254]

If you get one of those big black sleds from the farm stores you can put 4-5 big buckets full of water in it and sled around to the various animals. Also, fill the sled with the ice and dump it one time instead of so many trips. I lived off grid in Montana for many years and learned this trick. ❤

[@LauraAnn-h8y]

I always look forward to your videos. Film as often as you like and I will enjoy watching! Your animals and family come first. I am thankful that you are willing to share your beautiful life with all of us.

[@patriciacinea3097]

I awoke the - 4 degrees in my part of CT, and immediately thought of you both. I can't imagine working for hours outside in frigid temps with dealing with ice and water. God bless you both for all that you do for the animals. They look well cared for and the love in their eyes is proof!

[@JulieCrawford-l8r]

I was so looking forward to seeing you guys today!,I love it!❤❤ We hit -9 in central Missouri!

[@1807FarmhouseDiaries]

Brrrr! So cold everywhere!

[@HYHfarm]

Horses don't always like cold water we used heaters that came up from the bottom. The harsh winters was why we left Maine. We had two storms back to back and the prep work that was needed just to get through the winters. As you get older it becomes very difficult. Good luck but maybe we will come visit in the summer which is only three -4 months long ha

[@karenoshea151]

The love for your animals is so apparent it is just so wonderful to watch

[@chlexiel.1022]

Your work ethic is something to behold. I just read how in Farmer Boy, Almanzo’s dad had to wake up in the middle of the night to run the young cows (I think) in -40 degree temp so they wouldn’t freeze to death. My grandparents were farmers in Quebec, so all of this makes me think of how life was for them, and my parents growing up that way. 🥰

[@joanbeverlykiss7055]

Loved "Farmer Boy"!

[@kathyflora4154]

The more the better!!😊 thank you so much for all you do!! I love all your animals!!

[@josie4peace]

I learn so much from you both. They sure love their water. 💧 Thank you for providing for them all and also for making trails. 🙌Yes, any footage you have time for is welcome. But your welfare and the animals come first. Praying daily for your homestead 🙏❄❤

[@jenniferwood9349]

Walter is so funny. I love watching him. And I love your back room overlooking the field. Bless your hearts going out in that weather to take care of everyone. We go out and put feed out for the many deer that visit our property and our bird friends.

[@heathercallahan78]

Would love shorts or whatever extra looks into your world would be. Love seeing all the animals and your beautiful setting.

[@kenchester3072]

We owned an 1840 cape on 53 acres our nearest neighbors were 1/2 mile away. One December we lost power for 13 days. The house had a spring that ran into the basement from the first house built there in 1784. Like you we heated with wood and during those two weeks we lighted our world with oil lamps. Our spring provided water for ourselves and many friends in our area who were also without power. Those early settlers knew how to survive the harsh climate of NH we lived in. We sold that property to a neighbor and moved to another old farmhouse in the far north of NH. Enjoy your adventure in Maine.

[@charlenee1776]

We have had the negative temps in western NY too. We only have 4 or 5 inches of snow. I go out every morning to feed feral cats. That's enough for me! God bless you for going out several times a day for all the critters.

[@karenhanley3912]

Thank you for sharing 😊 your beautiful farmhouse ! And taking care of the beautiful animals 🙏God bless you both ! Yes more content 👍sounds great

This was an amazing video! Love the ending with the bunnies. Isn't Hyacinth a beauty!

[@karenoshea151]

Hi you all so thankful for your beautiful video I am from New Hampshire and we have been experiencing these negative numbers as well and not a lot of snow so it makes for really really cold Earth for a plants to sustain through the winter I worry about them I pray we get a lot more snow cover real soon because we have been down to those very lows which is unusual so loved watching you and your animals God bless you and keep you safe and warm

[@ceahorse56]

Your night sky must be stunning! Only thing I miss living out in the country on our small farm is the bright stars at night. We now live in town due to health issues and I love how convenient everything is and we been blessed with lovely neighbors. But I still miss the night sky away from the city lights.

[@TeresaHayes-tk7fc]

Love seeing all the animals and your interactions with them! Thank you so much for sharing! I use the same trick with my bird bath fountain…there comes a point when I have to admit defeat because it’s such a small amount of water and temps are so low. BUT spring is just around the corner…

[@1807FarmhouseDiaries]

I sure hope so!!

[@rosemarymunson915]

Love shorts! Go for it!

[@1807FarmhouseDiaries]

Hi Jenny! Oh how beautiful is the undisturbed snow!❄ It looks so peaceful! Your home looks gorgeous sitting there, like a professional photo in a magazine! Oh Jenny yesss!! More videos would be awesome! I'd love it!❤ Sadly, here in south Florida, the Tampa area, its just been cold & rainy.. although the NW areas like Tallahassee & Pensacola actually got a few inches of snow! But it has been cold enough here to wear coats & beanies, so we did have one week if winter🫤 Warming back up starting tomorrow & next week will be back in the mid to upper 70's😕 Aww the babies look like they're enjoying the snow!🐶 Walter is getting so big.. he's getting so tall! I remember last year, we were still living in Tennessee, it was the week before Christmas and we had a really brutal week! There were A few evenings it got to -6° and the days started below 10°🥶 The reins coming from the upper mountains would almost cut thru you. We lived pretty high up & it was tough when the winds got strong in the winter time. Oh Ok.. Walter is getting very smart & obedient too huh?! Good boy!🐶 Jenny those animals are very we taken care of, that's obvious! It shouldn't matter HOW they get water when its that cold or how the ice goes away.. its done & that's all that matters! Of course I hate you guys have to do it the old fashion way, its so cool & so much work. Bhutan I commend you, first of all for saving these precious animals and fit taking care of them 7 day a week, 365 days a year! They're healthy & happy & loved! It's awesome that you guys do this!!❤ People don't think about the financial part! A happy horse & a happy Matt😊 lol I'm sure it looks like i jump from one thing to the next, babur i type as I'm watching.. Or by the end I'll have forgotten something!😂 Wheww with all those rabbits if they weren't fixed that property would soon be taken over by rabbits!😂 Jenny I really enjoyed today's video! Seeing how you guys take care of the animals & me things work.I pray that everything continues to go well for you guys & that dinner rather than later, you'll have all the things needed to make life much easier & simpler fit you & Matt! See you guys soon.. God bless!🙏🏻

I was born and raised in central Maine (Pittsfield) and I remember those cold winters well. I am now a little ole lady living in Florida. Believe it or not, we had a wind chill yesterday in the 30's in Gulfport Fl. I love your videos and I am a big fan of animal rescues. So much so that I am a vegetarian for many years. The more publishing you do, all the better for me!

Yes even shorts so we can keep up with you all. Here in Ontario Canada we have sooo much snow, so many road closures, school buses haven’t run for a week and now we are expecting more it just doesn’t stop. Thankfully we aren’t in the country any longer. Retired and enjoying just staying put when the weather is poor.

I just found your channel. Welcome to Maine. I look forward to getting to know you both through your channel. Had rabbits and ducks and chickens as a child in an Old farmhouse Not as beautiful as yours but was a perfect place for me to grow up. Your barn is also beautiful. Seems snow here in Maine comes later now , March and into April depending on how far north you are. Has been a bit of a cold winter thus far.

[@patriciagreene1981]

It is very cold up here in Southern Ontario 🇨🇦 too but with a lot more snow! Enjoy watching you Restore your beautiful farm. You have so many beautiful buildings to explore and find uses for them . What is the purpose of the small barn -like structures with the open sides? Is that horse shelters even in the cold winter?

[@1807FarmhouseDiaries]

Those are run-ins! The horses use them when they want. They live a very natural life here and have warm winter coats to keep them snug.

[@patriciagreene1981]

@ thank you for your reply.

[@AnnHutchins-x9b]

I just saw a hint to keep your hands warmer in cold weather. Wear a pair of surgical style rubber gloves under your winter gloves &/or mittens. Your hands actually sweat & create warmth.

[@1807FarmhouseDiaries]

That's so interesting! I will have to give that one a try! xx

[@Laura-g1c1l]

It was in the minus F's here in Ontario Canada this week and more snow than I have ever seen in my entire life (I am 62). I love winter, I love snow...but this has been TOO MUCH!!:)

[@1807FarmhouseDiaries]

Agreed! It feels like too much this year with all the cold and normally, I love winter too! x
