I Can't Believe She REARED!

Good morning, guys. Welcome to today's video. It is literally the crack of dawn, like 7 a.m., and it's bright and light outside. I don't love the time change, but I love that it's light outside again in the morning. Every year, like on January 1st, I choose something to work on inside myself. I think everybody kind of does that. And in the past, It was learning to be kind, like truly kind, and for the most part, I figured that out. Let me tell you, it's a hard thing. Being truly kind means having no ego, and having no ego is hard because God gives you an ego to survive on earth. You get rid of your ego. It's hard. It's really hard. I still struggle and I'm definitely not always kind. But I learned what true kindness is and it's a goal every single year. But this year going into 2027, I'm working on grateful. I'm always grateful, always grateful, but not to the level of grateful that I want to be. I find myself always looking forward, looking forward to the next big thing, the next new thing and it's because I get bored so easy. I've told you guys before I have ADHD and it means that I get bored easy and I get restless easy and like Sam could sit on the couch, I could sit on the couch for the next five years and and be happy. Not me man, I gotta be going, I gotta be moving, I gotta be working towards something new and I can't do the same thing for a hundred years. Even though, even though I can do farming over and over and over because I love it. So I thought today I'd tell you a few of the things that I'm especially grateful for. I know you guys, in the States, they're getting ready for Thanksgiving. We've already had ours. I should have done it back then. I just wasn't prepared back then. But I'll tell you that today is going to be in the 70s. 70s. I'm thankful for that. I'm thankful for the best weather this fall. The second thing I'm so grateful for today is Sophie getting her license like oh my gosh you guys that is so incredible to me like when I got my license because I was not like I don't I didn't understand cars I still don't like it wasn't I don't have an aptitude for driving and Sophie doesn't have an aptitude for driving either but it was important for me that she do it. It's important for Sam, too. I want to know that she can have independence one day. And the life she's setting up for herself, like, she already knows what she wants in her life. And let me tell you, it's going to involve driving unless she gets a husband like Sam. Hopefully, she will get a husband like Sam. But she's so great. I'm so grateful that she has her license or that she's starting to get her license that she's going to learn to drive. You guys, they like it. Even the geese. Even the geese are like... So my friend messaged me yesterday and said, hey, do you want our pumpkins? I said, maybe. If any of them aren't carved, I'll take them. Because you left all the seeds there, you're going to have pumpkins growing. Oh yeah, we'll probably have pumpkins. Hopefully they eat all the seeds, otherwise we're going to have pumpkins growing there. Posey looks like she's cleaning it up pretty good. Looks like Posey took it over. But anyway, it was a big pumpkin. It'll stay there. I don't know. We'll check it at noon, see if it's gone. I always like to watch before I let the chubby girls out to see if these guys are all done the grain. And it looks like they're just eating the minerals that are left in the buckets. You look like a pumpkin, posy pig. Now the geese are having a turn. I missed it, but they were both in there. And Rosie came up to me, stepped on my foot yesterday and asked me for a treat. Feathers are looking cuter. The hydro guys My eyes just show up. They have to fix something on our hydro pole over there and I'm trying to decide, should I let the rooster out? Come on, it would be so funny. It's funny. Yeah. Anyway, Sam is getting ready to glue my tree. It needs to be, I'm going to show you guys, this is going to be cute, hopefully. I'm following an AI thing. So it needs to be like a little bit apart, a space in between, just a small space. This is going to be huge. so that i can decorate sam so i can put like greenery in between and some like balls and lights and make it cute maybe sophie will hang it in her room so he's gonna glue it onto this i think you need a thick piece to be honest thick is always better also we need to get rid of these pumpkins today they got to go in the back for the deer oh maybe in the garbage a hydro guy came to the door to tell us that they were leaving So we could let out our rooster. We decided not to let him out. I was just kidding about letting him out. But could you imagine if the geese or the rooster was out and the hydro people came, that'd be funny. That'd be a viral video for sure. But anyways, so he was talking to us and I was like, wow, you are so nice. Whoa, every time I have to lock the, there's eggs somewhere on this property. Because every time I have to lock them inside, they lay. All right, I'm coming in. Can I come in? Look, they ripped apart this. Go ahead, go out. I want to just fix your water because you probably like clean water. Oh, there's two, I think. I think. Wait a minute. I don't think we've had a white one before. So there's eggs somewhere on this property, I'm telling you now. Ew, why do you have to put it in dirt? Gross. Let's make sure Make sure you guys still have food. Is that empty? Heck no, that's awful. Maybe I should leave them in every morning because I always let them out so early. Anyways, I was saying like to the guy how nice he was. There's a lady that came last week and she was so mean, so mean. And I videoed it. I just like, I didn't video her. I'm right here. I want to sit down right here and just watch you guys for a minute. These little cute ones. Oh my gosh! Look at that! Literally just sitting in amongst the chickens. So the lady came last week. Was it last week or two weeks ago? She was like so unkind and So I had my phone just hanging at my side. I videoed it just hanging at my side. Like I didn't film her or or Like point the phone at her at all. I just kept it down by my side She had no idea that I was filming it. I was filming it so I could show Sam because the lady was so mean so then After I filmed it, I sent it to my daughter-in-law, and I said, like, was I rude? Like, this, and she said, no, you were so kind, and that lady was so mean. So the man came today, and I said, wow, you're so kind. The lady that was here before, I couldn't even finish talking, and he said, yeah, isn't she something? He told me a big story about this lady, and I was like, oh, my gosh. Like, it's crazy how when somebody is so, has issues, like, she was so unkind. And people, like, take it personally. Like, I didn't care. I just, I sent it to my daughter-in-law and said, like, was this me? Like, did I make this lady mad? Like, I try to be nice. Like, it's, like, it hurts me if I'm not kind to people. And sometimes I'm not. Like, sometimes I lose it. But anyways, so I sent it to my daughter-in-law and she said, no, this lady was mean. But, yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy when... You are out there and someone is unkind to you and then you take it personally. And in fact, that's just who they are, just how they are. He's really close to me and he's not trying to hurt me. I like him. Sophie hates him because he's about to attack me. I just feel it. Sophie hates him, but I find like he's not as bad as some. He's going to attack me, isn't he? He's literally about to attack me. I'm so close to him. Look, this is my shoe. I just want to be friends. That's it, I just want to be friends. Anyway, like I told you before, this is such a dream for me. Just being out here, sitting on the ground, and my chickens or my horses, just having the animals be here, oh, it feels amazing. Literally feels amazing. He's gonna, he's, don't. Listen, I'm still bigger than you. Like, if it comes down to it, whether it's him or me, it's gonna be him, Because I'm not about to be... I'm hurt by a rooster, but look at her. I just love, I'm gonna get more of her. It's a duckle, I don't know how you say it. She's just a little tiny breed and she's so sweet and Sophie loves the little rooster. That's the rooster right there, so cute. Like, I wish I could just snap her up and cuddle her. If I can get eggs from, like purebred eggs from her and him, I will hatch them and I will raise them to be the friendliest little chickens because she is so cute. I spy with my little eye a little cat. Do you guys see her? She's just hanging in the trees there. Oh my gosh, she did it. This is it. So I'm going to decorate it now. What do you think, Sophie? I'm going to put lights. I don't want to smash it. No, I'm going to look at it. It kind of feels like a sword. Isn't it so cute? I love it. So I'm going to put like a bunch of greenery in here between each of these things and then I can put lights. I might put lights. I'm probably going to put lights you guys and hang it in the living room and I'm going to put Christmas decorations on it and make it so cute. I love it. Absolutely love it. Rooster because he's no threat. I know and so I always throw food for the chickens but I throw some for the cats and then the rooster chases the cat away. You haven't named any of them. I'm disappointed in him. Oh you never let me name anything. I have like a whole list of names. Oh the chickens you mean? Yes. All right so here's the deal every winter I get like so lonely when it gets cold out and we are stuck in the house more we can't like so much time we spend out with our animals that we don't film because it's like all day and then it gets cold and we're stuck inside and I feel this Oh, this huge crush. This crush of like... What I know like I don't know this dopamine loss of dopamine because I love to just be with the animals so every winter I'm like oh now I'm stuck inside I need a pet but I do not want any more pets I feel like Sophie kind of gets that too so today when I saw that white egg I don't know who laid it I have to stop and figure it out but I think I am going to hatch those eggs I have a little tiny incubator I'm going to bring it in and hatch them Here, look here. I'd recommend this one for my horse. Yeah. Cause it's thicker. You think saying my horse needs a thick carrot, but you know what? Every time I say something or something comes up three times in a day, it's like something I think God wants me to know. And that's the second time today that we've talked about something being thicker. Oh, here comes Penny. I see her. She's running. He comes. Told you. Hi girlfriend. How's it going? I got a carrot for you. Just let them. Oh, don't be. Sophie's doing bad at math. Yeah. Don't be pushy. Penny pickle. You like it? Oh, geez. She almost got my finger on that one. Yeah. Storm can have a whole carrot. Look at her hair. Let me show them her. Oh, she had fence hair. It was so adorable. Can you hear us? So now I need to go to the dollar store and get some craft stuff for my tree that I want to make. And Sophie's going to drive. Hi. You're welcome. You want a carrot? See, the problem with him is that I think he could gain like a couple more pounds. But he lives with her and she can't gain. Like, oh my gosh. Like, I don't want her gaining any more weight. She's already chunky. Are you already chunky? And there's like, it's just like a hard. Wow, that was forceful. She looks so cute. Now she's going to spit. She does the whole. Teach her something else that's fun. And she can kiss and smile. Make her smile. Smile. And make her kiss. I'll go get her a treat. And such a nice girl. She's forceful with her tricks. It's really sad when she rams her butt into you. Hey, Storm. Fist bump. She's afraid of Storm. Storm, go away. I have to go. Go away. Here, fist bump. All right Penny, let's do some trick. We got one trick. That's it, we got one trick. You got a couple of tricks? Hate that it's hard to video in here. Take two because I'm gonna have to keep her over here. Penny, you stay here with me. Stay here, stay here. She can jump though, right? Oh, I missed it Penny. That was so good, do it again. Penny, come here. Wait, no, I didn't say yet. She has little baby jumps instead of hers. Oh, I might actually take Penny out for a little walk because get some, some grass. You want to get out? Come on. Why you got to have it? We're going to grass. Why you got to have that? Oh yeah. Chubby one. Actually our horses look good now. Penny's like, oh, thank God you came and got me. That's the poop pile. The poop pile. Do it again. Run down the hill. Let's go over here. Over here. A little further. Oh. Penny, down here. There. There we go. Look, there's a path there. Come down here. I saw her freak. I saw her spook. She spooks towards me. Yeah, you know why? Because she knows that she can push me over. No, it's because she trusts you and she thinks of you as part of her herd and her leader. And she thinks you'll protect her. She doesn't know that. She's like, it's better you than me. Maybe she'd want to knock you down. So whatever's going to eat her, we eat you instead. I love that. Who else does it? Our goats. I know I don't love it. It's not good, but our goats also do it. When they're afraid, they come to me. I really want to go down there and check the status of the pumpkin. I can see it's still there and it looks like posh or cinderella probably cinderella eating it. Lady and honey no lady and Gracie are just running like wild. Watch she jumps the fence. You know the part of the fence you can jump the fence I'd be surprised no you'd be happy I'd be We're not staying out here for all day, Penny. That's a really high fence. Oh, but there's an area that she has kind of pushed down by her neck. I can see her jumping it. We look up and all of a sudden the lady's running around the field. Willow's the one that jumps stuff. Yeah, Willow. Willow loves jumping. Oh, yeah, that's true. I don't know what it is about winter. She kisses me and she puts her ears back. But I've been like searching all these animals. I want like a mini lop bunny, which I'm not getting. Don't worry. I promise. I wanted rats. I got rats. Sophie wanted rats and she got rats. um which are very very oh sophie and i love the rats you guys sometimes when i'm so tired at night i'll climb in bed and she'll bring them in and they climb all over me they are so friendly they lick my face they lick every part of my fingers my hands like they they're so sweet they are the sweetest and they're girls go figure like girls are usually not as sweet but these ones are so sweet gosh look at that I don't know if you guys can see but she's got like a wad of grass and I mean a wad of grass. She can eat a lot in one bite. Yeah she's just stuffing her mouth for when we take her back. I've looked up chihuahuas and there's one that I love. Actually haven't checked to see if it's still there today. It was a really expensive one so but I found one I love. I will never get one though while I have Ellie because I want Ellie to know that she's just the only one. She's my only one. I want a miniature horse. I look at them every day, but I don't want one until Penny's gone. So it'll be in the future, but I'm definitely gonna get a mini horse. Like I'm jealous of all the things Sophie gets to do with her mini and how much her mini loves her. Like she raised her and that horse knows it. Like she loves Sophie. So I want that for me. Who has a cute face? Honey, when her ears are forward. Penny literally gave me the hardest time bringing her in. She's so disappointed we're leaving without her. I know, I'm sorry. Even though she got to go out. I'm sorry, baby. If I had to walk Penny backwards, I had to back her up and I had to say like, enough is enough, Penny. Like I brought you out of the, out here with the, out of the kindness of my heart. Like it's time to go in now. And then as soon as I said it, like horses get it. They understand. You want water? Here Gabby too. Yeah, I'll bring some for Gabby too. There's literally just something about the barn fridge. Keeps your water way colder. We don't have bottled water in the house. Yeah we use like a water cooler in the house. We all like water bottles.
