What Happened WAS!

[@robertamehall635]

Danny and Wanda I really enjoyed watching this video tonight. It was like we were all setting in the living room after dinner shelling peas. 🥰

[@donnabrister5626]

First of all, I want to say we love your videos. We watch them every day (if there is one lol) I don't ever comment because we watch it on the TV and there is no chat that I know of. I just wanted to come on my laptop to let you in on a little secret I figured out on the peas. I cleaned and blanched my purple hull peas, put them on the trays (2.5 pounds per tray) and then I freeze dried them...YES freeze dried! They turned out wonderful. I know y'all have a freeze dryer so I just wanted to let you in on that little tip. When I cook them, I just add however may I want to cook in the pot and add water just like I was going to cook a pot of fresh peas. When the water hits them, you hear a little hiss sound and immediately they turn green like they were just picked out of the garden! Delicious! I hope this helps! Keep doing what you are doing! We love y'all! PS: I hope you get better soon Danny!! We will be praying for you! ~Donna~

[@imsaved342000]

My hubby cut his left thumb to the first knuckle and his middle finger to the second knuckle with a skill saw. I had to look for his fingers to take to the ER.

[@gingerzelidon3573]

It's been a joy hanging out with you two on the couch tonight! Love the example you are setting Mr Danny! I love that when you look at something most of us see as a problem, you look at it as a challenge. Great advice! I'm impressed that you could tie your shoes with your thumb bandaged up. Take care and God bless!

[@ahomesteadjourney]

Oh my goodness, Danny.. we are so very sorry about what happened!!! My goodness... We are grateful that you are ok now and are keeping your healing in prayer!!! Thinking of and praying for you. ~ Lucien & Barbara

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

Praying for speedy healing and some rain 🙏🏻

[@Myfavorites877]

It’s hard seeing you hurt Bro. Danny! Praying you heal quickly. God bless you and Mrs. Wanda.

[@TheMixingBowlHomestead]

Mr. Danny, I am just thankful that you are here to tell the story. Just make sure you keep an eye on that healing process. Follow whatever cleaning and disinfecting instructions the doctors gave you. Love you and Mrs. Wanda. You all are such a huge blessing.

[@ur2phunny]

Oh the trials & tribulations experienced, get well & heal quickly Danny. My husband lost his pinky finger working too. His 12 yr old nephew found his finger, gave it to his dad and he put it in milk and brought to the hospital but couldn't be reattached. Years later now the biggest complaint is holding screws, washers etc fall out of hand a lot. Caution without fear. Also, your shipping is lightening fast! The book arrived Monday it's a wonderful with so much helpful information, Thank You!

[@durrdogg]

Oh my goodness Danny. Speedy recovery!!!

[@cathybehle-ernst5796]

"Ever onward, Danny"! Love y'all!

[@eroggero]

Well I hope you make a complete and full recovery with that finger, and get adjusted quickly. My fall gardening here has come to an abrupt end with the hurricane. We were in the unfortunate location with the eye right over us. Yes it will probably take some time to get back into the growing again I will e continuing to follow the channel, thanks for all your help in the past with everything.

[@silvertonguedaywalker9116]

Hi Nana Lin here from England. We use our Thumbs all the Time.without thinking. hope yoi are not in too much pain x We have a Sunny Day here in England. xx❤❤

[@tigerhead379]

Enjoyed your chat this eve friends.

[@syntychiahintsin-tee-shaks2256]

Wishing you a speedy healing. I remember when I would visit my family in Alabama in the summer as a kid. People would drop off peas, greens, okra all sorts of stuff to my Aunt. She had her NY niece shelling peas…let me tell you, that was some of the best eating once she would cook it all up! Peas and hot crackling bread, woowee.

[@TeamD2012]

Sending u healing energy ❤

[@tracilander335]

Y’all make my heart happy!

[@sadie21962]

Thanks for the lessons. I will show this to my husband so he doesn't repeat your injury. Rain in East Central Indiana has been few and far between. We are right on the Indiana-Ohio line. So fronts rain out before it gets here. 45 days with nothing according to my journal. Fall planting of English peas, bush beans and carrots didn't do very well. No rain has stunted the growth.

[@wingandaprayer7777]

Danny, Thank God you are okay! Sorry for the lost of the end of your thumb. We will be praying for your quick recovery. Wish we lived close to you so we could come and help y'all!

[@SG-vu4qy]

God bless ya'll, be healed, be safe. Amen.

[@teenagardner3623]

Thankfully it was only your thumb not your whole hand. Be easy on your healing and don't rush it. This is great casual visit video. Love you two and happy your both spoiled with love.

[@billhunt892]

Hi y’all , now that was very enjoyable, like we’re sitting visiting !

[@bekahms]

Ouch! Makes me cringe inside to think about it! God bless and prayers for quick healing.

[@hlammers5735]

Keep on keeping on Mr Danny take care of yourself and Miss Wonder you too thanks for all you guys do

[@gloriajohnson3952]

wow, sending my prayers Danny.

[@carolyngreenhill4529]

Asking for prayers for my young daughter Taylor's health and healing please

[@Steve_Chancellor]

One of the greatest smells I know is of making syrup. Cool fall mornings and the smell of syrup cooking.

[@Sugarput1]

Please be careful and take care of both of you!!! God Bless!!! 😇😇😇🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️

[@readtheword3]

I feel for you Danny as well as Wanda I can only imagine the accident with your finger , slows you guys up with all the work you need to complete , my heart goes up to you both I will be praying for a speedy recovery wish we lived closer to you , my husband and I would love to help we live in Charleston S.C. , but I will be praying !

[@ellencanipe4191]

Wanda shelling peas reminded me that I need to get my okra seeds out of the pods...picked a bag full yesterday then life happened and I didn't get it done... sitting here drinking coff and watching y'all would be a good time to get it done!

[@donnalackey989]

When I was young I use to spend the summers with my aunt I would try to beat her shelling peas but never could when i got through she would get me to pick up the peas that landed on the floor those were good times learned a lot about cows chickens and gardening

[@saddleridge4364]

I find it interesting that you, Danny , got a word from the Lord to back off a bit. Then your thumb got pinched off on the end, so you are slowed down now. Guess the good Lord was makin' sure you obeyed His prompting. Love seeing you two chatting on the sofa, the smiles between you show the steady, deep love you guys got for each other. God bless.

[@midsouthhomestead7527]

I have a shade cloth on my cabbages. Especially in the afternoon.

[@shtfengineering7472]

I wasn't sure about the weather either, but I am rolling the dice! I planted my sorghum and all my seed potatoes about 2 weeks ago. We will see if it comes to harvest before the first freeze! I am trenching and piping in a 20A circuit for a backup heater and piping in rainwater from the tanks to the greenhouse. I have been waiting for the weather to cool some to do all the digging! Hopefully the lessons I have learned over the past 2 winters will help me keep my plants alive this year. I was discouraged from planting last spring after losing so many. I was just about to go fire up the log splitter to finish processing the red oak trees that dried up and died. Now, I will be wearing some leather gloves for just in case! Thanks for the video yall. Hope your thumb heals up right with no permanent damage. 👍

[@janetteharness1693]

Glad the accident with your thumb was not more serious and that the Lord is watching over you and Miss Wanda. Give it a chance to heal properly even though the work on a homestead is never finished.

[@donnalackey989]

I also learned to churn butter in a crock and slop the hogs never bored always busy wish kids could experience this today

[@weathermanplus]

Good morning brother, I hope that you heal quickly 🙏

Good morning Mr. Danny and miss wanda.

[@thomasthibedeau8900]

I did a test and planted in the shade. Those plants did the best for me. Peppers like the sun and heat and that was about it. Most my strawberries died in the sun.

[@tambrasmith9707]

You do what u gotta do and try to keep going

[@claudettehernandez3402]

My husbands job site had at least 4” of loose dirt on it back in August. After the last measurable rain in September, he said it was like walking in slurry.

[@sandraharper1354]

Mr. Danny, please be careful and take care of yourself, I thank God for looking out for you, it could have been worse. I pray that God will send you all the help you need. Praying 🙏 for you two. Agape

[@PaRoughandTumble]

Up here in PA we call that shakes in the tree. It happens here mostly from tornadoes.

[@ConfedVet]

Watching Wanda shell peas brought a tear to my eyes. I remember mama sitting in her favorite chair shelling peas and watching gunsmoke. Or she would churn butter and watch rawhide. Bless Ya'll

[@tambrasmith9707]

Shelling peas with my Nannie is something that I miss real bad

[@MissyVButterflyHill]

Accidental prepping...victim of mandolin about a month ago to lose end of little finger, doesn't hurt now but end is off. I hope you heal quickly.

[@frankwoodruff3538]

I see Ms Wanda shells peas backwards of the way I do

[@elaines5179]

I frame things as an adventure., it allows my curiosity far more freedom.

[@grilla883]

My Father lost the end of his finger in a sawmill accident. You need to make a Y section holder to push the timber into the splitter. I hope you heal quickly. God Bless.

[@motorcitylonestar5792]

I had to put a 10 x 10 canopy up over one of my raised beds to keep the sun off the plants before they started acting normal and the flowers weren't being burnt by the sun. They started producing after that. (N.E. Texas)

[@judyvaughn761]

You are a spoiled woman that's wonderful I love watching you and Danny you have a wonderful relationship

[@carlprice64]

I pray you heal fast...

[@lucydiazcolon734]

May the Lord heal you rapidly. No shelling cowpeas but keep it elevated when you feel it's heartbeat. Keeping you in prayers Mr. Danny. Patience Ms. Wanda. God bless y'all

[@LindaSAndrews.]

They say God never puts any thing on you can't handle. Give Danny your prayers he is a good man. Wanda take care of your self and Daddy. Sending love

It is hot. Crazy. I purchased a sun oven. It works great for my food. That sun is hot. Crazy that is seems hotter than before. Blessings!

We patronize our local stores also. It may cost a little more but we have to drive a ways to larger stores so we would spend that in gas.

Bahaha "teenage velcro shoes" Danny you are so funny!

[@betty8173]

So sorry for your accident, Danny, may God bless an easy recovery. Makes me feel lazy not to be working while I listen, ha! But am sewing new curtains for my windows, with heat blocking... We are moving to new property in WV, and wonder what you were going to sell your Polaris for, please? Enjoy Freesteading, when I can get there, busy time here! Thanks, and God bless

[@SharaBinghamMills]

Hi Danny and Miss Wanda, I saw you on Empty Hammock yesterday. KZbin is really fun when you go to a channel and you see somebody else you know from another site. Sorry about your thumb Danny. The worst part of an injury like that is how it slows you down and have to hold off of doing something.

[@died4us590]

That white string was a nerve, ask me how i know. The nerve being cut may cause you less pain, but if it gets real dry, that hurts. One thing that makes wounds heal faster is silvadine. I had a third degree burn, and that stuff kept me from needing a skin graft. I am almost out of what i had left, because i use it on any kind of wound, had a big jar of it. That will take awhile to heal, unless they stitched it closed, and if it's open, don't let it get to dry, because that will hurt. You may have some feeling gone when it heals up, but only time will tell. G-d bless you Danny and Wanda.

[@irenepalmer7597]

Praying for you Danny. Hope your finger heals up quickly. As a single 68-year-old woman who no longer has a husband I have to chop wood on the same exact machine that you use and I find that you have to be really concentrating on what one is doing. I noticed the logs with knots in them do the same thing and snap back at you. Learned from a young southern man about safety before I started doing these things and took heed to his recommendations. I always wear gloves and leather is the best I was told. The wood would’ve most likely taken your glove instead of your finger. I also wear protective glasses even though I don’t like wearing them and they are annoying. I have also had plenty of injuries so I try to protect myself as best as I can. I have someone that comes to cut my trees down and he never wears gloves and I even gave him a free pair of leather gloves and said you need to protect yourself but I noticed he still does not wear them. Hopefully he won’t find out the hard way. 😩

[@arthurleslie9669]

I asked my Doc why I wasn’t feeling any pain when I lost mine. He said it’s called Traumatic Amputation. When the brain recognizes that so many nerves/nerve endings are all screaming at once it knows there’s a problem and blocks the input from them all. God doesn’t make junk. You know, he’s right.

[@ponderinglife7528]

what a cute relaxed couple! im hooked. sorry you got dust and wow, no thumb! and still wants to help little wifey shell 3 ft high stack of peas!Lololol😆😂😂

I went to our local feed store yesterday, 10-5-22. They were already very low on onion bulbs.

[@beverlymichael5830]

Praying for a quick healing. When you change your bandage apply some raw honey on your thumb. It will help prevent infection.

[@davidrice8823]

Gosh I wish I could have one of those!!!

Agree, the Devil try's but he will fail in the end, just be careful.

My husband lost his thumb back in the 90's on a break press... Happened so fast he never even knew it happened...never even bled...they took a part of his chest to sculpt him a make shift thumb that he regrets letting them do because it has no feeling and he is constantly hitting it while doing farm work and it bleeds crazy bad....

[@deedahl2866]

I'm shelling some home grown black eye and lady cream peas, from my tiny garden efforts. It was pretty much worthless for everything else. :( Planted in June, I didn't get a single squash, zucc, watermelon, sweet potato. My 3 types of carrots were nothing more than tiny green shoots that didn't produce anything. My malabar spinach vine did pretty well though.
