That’s beautiful! I AM encouraged when I see God’s people enjoying his gifts.

Thank you! And yes, it's a special thing to see!

Awesome video ! My mom and I watched it together and she wants to buy some persimmon jam and bread. ...Seriously.

That is awesome!

I enjoyed your video, but it left me with a question. How do you plan to keep the squirrels from stealing your “joy” this year?

[@JoyfulHomestead77]

Great question! Well, our newest "plan" is to put a small container of moth balls at a couple of strategic points along the fence near the tree. I (Dan) just cut the bottom off of a gallon milk jug and attached it to the top of our wooden fence post. About 10 or so moth balls in each container *seems* to have warded off the little critters to this point, at least! The deer, on the other hand, don't seem to be deterred by moth balls, so they get the bailing twine and pie plate strategy! :)
