Summer Night Routine on the Farm 🐴🌙

Summer evenings on the farm are probably my favorite thing ever. I get to care for the animals while watching the gorgeous sunset and it's just so beautiful. So let me show you what my night routine looks like with all these animals. The first thing that we have to do is go to the feed store because there's some things that I need to pick up quick. So let's get going. Alright we're here. So the stuff that I need to get is alfalfa pellets for Selena because we've almost run out of ours. And I also have to get medical supplies because Maggie got an injury about a week ago and it was looking better but I think she did something to make it worse so we need to get stuff to wrap it. So let's go in and get what we need. Okay we're back at the farm now. I'm going to show you really quickly what I got. I got this thrush remedy for the horse's hooves. They don't really need it right now but it's just good to have on hand. Thrushes when bacteria gets into the horse's hooves and it can cause them pain. It happens a lot when it's wet outside and we're about to get a lot of rain so. I also got this silver honey spray for Maggie's wound. It looks like it helps a lot. It was also the most expensive thing there out of all the options for this kind of stuff so it better work. Then I got a bunch of bandaid wraps. They didn't have like any kind of gauze there so I'm not really sure exactly what I'm going to do. The whole point of wrapping it is just to keep dirt from getting in it because it's so low to the ground. But I don't know if just putting the bandage over it is going to irritate it. I've actually never had to do this before. Never wrapped a wound on a horse's leg. It's not terrible but I just want to make sure that it doesn't get any worse. Also the last thing I got is the alfalfa pellets of course. So I guess let's bring Maggie up and treat her wound. I did what I could with what we had yesterday so hopefully it helped at least a little bit. She did not like it at all. It looks better but not good. I'm just worried that because I don't really know what I'm doing that it would be better if I just left it alone and just put stuff on it and didn't try to wrap it up. I don't know. I don't know Maggie. What do I do? I also don't really have everything I need to wrap it. Why do you have to go and hurt yourself huh? Look she's pawing it right now. She needs some fly spray. She hates this. Good girl. Good. This is going to help you. It will. Good. Here's your treats. I ended up just putting a bunch of product on her hoof and I'll probably come out in the morning and put some more on her. I know that she does not like any of the stuff I'm doing. She probably hates it. But I think that she knows that I'm trying to help her so she's being really good. Right now it is 5.08. I'm going to feed all of the animals and then we'll probably head in for dinner. I just watched Maggie smell the products that I put on her leg and she curled her lip up in the air to smell it. The goats are looking at me like would you stop talking and get our food ready? They're so done. Excuse me Hermione. Excuse me. Get down. What are you doing ladies? Now that I have the horse food all measured, I need to go feed the cats and get water to soak Selena's food. People get mad at me all the time for feeding my cats on the food cans but trust me, the ground is much, much dirtier. And if I tried to put bowls on the ground, people would step in them and chickens would poop in them and it would be terrible. So the feeding cans are by far the most clean spot for them to eat. And they also don't have to worry about us stepping on them as we are doing our chores. It's just what works best for us. I want to see how Alfie's doing quick. I'll bet you he's standing over by the ladies. Yup. I think maybe you should find some other hobbies. I do. How are you? This guy is the friendliest thing. Oh hi Maui. Alright, he's doing good. Alright so we went to the store, we took care of Maggie, and we did the chores. Now I'm going to head in for dinner and after that we get to do the fun stuff. Bunny, no. Get out of there. Bunny. No. Come here. The bees don't seem to care. That's good. Um, well let's hope that nothing bad happens there. So we got bees about a month ago and we got some really good strong colonies and one of the hives actually swarmed about a week after we put them in their new hives. So basically the queen laid some new queen eggs and then left with half of the bees so that they could take their colony somewhere else and the new colony could establish itself in the hive that they were in. They do that when there's just too many bees to support the amount of space that they have. We were actually really surprised that they decided to swarm because we just got them but my dad also knew that they were pretty close to that point. So they swarmed and they ended up in a coil of fencing that was right next to the hives and my dad had to move them to another bee box which was very interesting. Yeah, so we gave both the old and the new colonies everything that they need to keep going and surviving. So now we have four back here but we had to use one of our really old hives that is very mismatched and rotted out just a little bit which is not ideal. But yeah, that's the bee update. Now, let's go visit the cows. Hey girls, don't get scared. Coming through. Hi. Hello. I'm just passing through. Hello. You're so sweet. So recently when I wanted to go down to the cows, I couldn't because I wasn't wearing the right shoes to go through the swampy area. What are you doing over there? Why not? Mud. Where's your mud boots? You should come over next time. But thankfully, I don't have to worry about that anymore because I just got some new boots from Hycea which is actually the sponsor of this video. These boots are actually so comfortable which is amazing. It's not easy to work hard when your boots are giving you blisters and just hurting your feet but these are actually so nice. They're also very durable and I can work really, really hard in them doing anything on the farm and I know that they will be reliable. These Hycea boots are gonna be amazing this summer just doing stuff around the farm and while caring for the animals. If that all sounds great to you, definitely check out the Hycea boots. You can get a little discount using the code on the screen right now. Thank you so much Hycea for sponsoring this video. Now let's go to the cows because I'm getting eaten alive right now by mosquitoes. We just moved them so they are now at the back of this pasture. They got lots of grass. Are you pregnant? Your belly looks big. Not your udder though. Where are the babies at? There's Stormy and there's Ruby. He is gonna be dark. You can see around his eyes and on the top of his back and his ears, he's getting some really dark fur. He'll probably be that whole color eventually. Oh, you're licking me. Ew, he got a cow slopper in my hair. Okay, everyone looks good and happy. You guys all happy? Yes? So cute. Okay, we're right here so I wanna go walk over to the orchard. I haven't been in it yet this year and I wanna see like if it looks like we're gonna get a lot of fruit this year and just what's going on. We've got like around 40 or 50 fruit trees so... Everything on this side is apples for the most part. Wow. Okay, this is an apple. It looks like it's got quite a few growing. This is an Asian pear. I don't know if I see anything. We got a bunch from these last year. This apple tree is really pretty. Oh no, half of this tree is dead. This is one of our two cherry trees. This is the other one. And then my absolute favorite, peaches. This is really overgrown but back here we've got a bunch of rhubarb. This plant is massive. And that's our gorgeous orchard. I also wanna show you a little bit of our garden quickly. My mom has been working so hard on this. I don't know what everything is. I mainly stick to the animals right now but I'll show you a little bit of it. This is arguably the best part of the whole garden, the strawberry patch. We have so many and they actually taste so good. They're not like the giant ones at the store that are hard and have no flavor. They are insanely sweet and have so much flavor, it's so good. This is all tomatoes along here. We grow a lot of tomatoes. This is usually where we plant the squash. Mom also has some flowers along here. Coming around over here. These look like peppers. Not sure what's planted over here but usually we do cucumbers. And then these look like cherry tomato plants. That's probably green beans. And we got a bunch of onion, garlic, and potatoes. We've also got some more apple trees up here. And yeah, that's our garden. It is now 7 o'clock so I'm gonna head inside, get into some more comfortable clothes, and make my favorite, chocolate chip cookies. Okay, we have these unsweetened dark chocolate chips. I'm gonna add some of these. I only like a few chocolate chips, not a ton. I want to be able to taste the cookies. And if I can get them open, we have these caramel ones and they're so good. And two and two-thirds cups of flour. I could probably make this recipe with my eyes closed. I've been making it my entire life, basically. This is the best part, when it all comes together and makes a dough. I'm tempted not to cook any of this and just eat the dough because it's so good, but I should probably make some cookies. While those are in the oven, I just remembered that my little brother put some eggs in the incubator, some of our chicken eggs, so I want to go look at that. Oh, yep. That's a lot of eggs. It's pretty cool. So in a couple weeks, we'll probably have some little chicks. All right, now I'm gonna enjoy these on the porch. It is so beautiful out tonight. And I'm also gonna read my Bible. I am reading the book of Acts in the Bible right now, and just seeing how bold the apostles, the early Christians, were in their faith is just so inspiring. That was mainly all I have to do. I'm just gonna spend a little bit more time resting, and then I'll go to bed. I hope you enjoyed following me along this evening. It was very peaceful and a lot of fun to spend some time with the animals. Definitely subscribe to stick around and see more of them. God bless you, and I will see you in the next one. Bye-bye.
