Really love meeting and see. your family & home!! I see two dogs too!
I'm from the PNW and have two grown adult children! Enjoying your channel!!
I live in NE Florida in a small rural town…so far we have been getting rain. Got a little last night, and are supposed to get some today…pretty cloudy right now. Thankful for the rain.
Mu husband works his bottom off (lawn care) if you can imagine the cost of doing that with these furl prices. He gets most of his sleep when he gets home in the evening. He's up by 4 A.M. almost Every Dy. Up and down all night. He's so precious to me.
I use Seedless Grapes, Walnuts when I have them, mayo, black pepper, and onion powder. I add chopped celery in mine if I have it. My husband loves chicken salad in his lunch. I make lots of it. I'm eating a salad topped with egg salad as I'm watching this…so good.
Enjoyed watching as usual.
Prayed for you to get rain.
It is now raining here Praise Jesus. Thankful for it. God Bless you and your family.
I recommend you to watch Dr Eric Berg to lear about your skin. I use coconut oil and it helps a lot with my ceborreic dermatitis. Most of the time stress and the food we eat makes everything worse. Good luck 👍
I have cedar in my beds and it doesn’t seem to bother them
I think the sprinklers might not be the best solution for watering tomatoes, as they're susceptible to fungus (potato blight) which develops more easily if the plant gets wet. From what I've learnt, tomatoes should ideally be watered close to the ground, to avoid getting water on the leaves (I have definitely noticed in my own garden that the plants that grow under a tree, so partially in shade but also to an extent shielded from the rain, tend to catch the blight less frequently and are less affected even when they do catch it). I'm afraid I can't suggest any alternatives to the system you use, though, because (since I only have a small garden) I don't use any special systems and just water my tomatoes by hand. 🙂 But I just wanted to warn you against using sprinklers that spray water on the leaves.
I use an item called a "rain train"…it works by hooking it up to a water hose and it follows where the house is on the ground. I got mine at Lowe's in the garden center.
Bye Nick. He's a serious hard working man. Very informative video Heather. Ty for all your videos. I love them.
I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. I’ve found AIP diet to work very well! However I find it hard to eat differently than cooking for my family. I love grains and potatoes! I find nightshades to bring on flair-ups. BUT whenever I’m having a flair-up, I make my favourite AIP curry (it has tumeric, cinnamon and ginger) and it helps level out my inflammation and pain. Hope this is informative 😊.
Great family
They started saying we were FINALLY going to get rain Friday/Sat … it finally rained early this morning . I’ve already noticed squash bugs and some holes on leaves in garden so I’ve been waiting and waiting to spray because it was going to rain😵💫
It’s taking me forever to water our gardens-we tripled size this year-I’ve got to get a drip system figured out ASAP!!!
We are on the same wavelength right now-I’ve got to get back to CLEAN eating! We get quite a bit of processed convenience foods in food CoOp-which has been nice while we were working garden every night till 9pm this last 6-7 weeks and then I got sick last week.
With the cost of groceries too it’s hard to not use any and every piece of food we get🤷♀️🤦🏻♀️ What to do what to do???
Hi Heather. I had symptoms of Celiac yrs ago. Fortunately, I have maintained perfect health but had to cut out all INFLAMMATORY FOODS, PLUS GMO, wheat, processed foods with dye, additives preservatives. Best thing I ever did for my health. Good resources are DR BERG, DR BAY, DR KEN BERRY. I had to learn how TOXIC our food supply is so went to single simple ingredients. I do my best TO STAY AWAY FROM ANYTHING THATS A PRODUCT OF CHINA.
I have an autoimmune condition and have used the Autoimmune paleo diet. It has been most helpful. Grains, which I love can cause inflammation which is why they don't want you to eat them. I found two different books to be very helpful to me, first, The Autoimmune Fix by Tom O'Bryan and second, The Wahl's Protocol by Terry Wahls. Wahls writes from a perspective of having ms, which is autoimmune, but it applies to all autoimmune conditions.
My daughter and I went and saw the Downton Abbey movie it was wonderful.
We live in Alabama and it just rained for five mins today . It’s been almost a month since the last time . It has been tough
Heather, I have dealt with a "rare" and very severe autoimmune disorder for years. In 2006, I became an experimental patient, under the supervision of a scientist who specialized in the immune system. It is my own responsibility that I did not stick with the lifestyle changes in diet. However, a raw vegan diet reversed my symptoms and allowed ulcers on my legs to heal for the first time in years!!! I did, as instructed, consume fish twice a week. Baked or fish canned in water. And, I could not eat the same type of fish twice in one week. There was a (seemingly long) list of foods I could not have. No products with refined sugars, or with bleached flour. Little to no dairy products. No fat / oil / butter products – but I was to include cold-pressed olive oil.
First and foremost, I am alive today thanks to that scientist, that clinic, and the dietary changes I was instructed to make. And, again, I was able to recover from an infection that was killing me in my weak state, and to witness huge ulcers on my lower legs heal completely, after having lived with them from 1999 into 2006.
My prayer was simply to recover from infection and live longer; also, a hope that knowledge gained from my case could help others with the same disorder. Weight loss was not a goal in my mind, although long term treatments of prednisone (a steroid) had left me the heaviest I had ever been in my life, (actually, I had been slender until the "treatments" of steroids). However, an unexpected bonus was that, under supervision, of course, I began loosing 20 pounds a WEEK while eating as much as – but not necessarily what – I wanted to eat. More, and the best part of it, aside from surviving that infection, I got back energy that I hadn't felt since being a teenager! I was even seeing a reversal of aging in my skin and hair color.
I've shared basic information, and there is more information if it interests you. Obviously it requires willpower and, over time my own has been weaker than I like. It didn't help that I lost a young grandchild, and the stress triggered flare up that took my ability to walk. Anyway, such things as vitamin C & D, quality calcium, zinc, omega 3 fatty acids can play a role in recovery, at least in my case, to my experience. I often think of the verse in the book of Genesis, where God gave man the plants as his meat.
I did see your humming bird, I believe. Just a glimpse. Reddish in color? So precious.
We have a cistern (rain water from gutters go into a concrete holding and then it flows through a charcoal pressure tank) and outside we have chemical totes that we have cleaned out that we collect rainwater in.
8 years ago I followed the AIP, it was amazing! I did it for 2 years-it was hard but SO worth it! I discovered dairy, gluten, nuts, soy, and pineapple are my nemesis. My body does not like them and 5 years ago I was finally able to get tested for allergies. I am allergic to the Gliadan in gluten, soy, lactose and whey in dairy, nuts-almonds and cashews and bromelain in pineapple. After 2 years my inflammation disappeared, I slept better, mood was better and I no longer had IBS (as doctors claimed I had). My naturopathic doctor recommended the AIP and it was my osteopathic doctor that ran the food allergy tests after I gave her the results of what I had discovered. I had the skin scrapes and blood test (I needed to reintroduce foods for the test).
Last year we were horrible for drought. This year we have so much water and are struggling to get crops in.
Hope y'all got your rain, we got in GOOD here in
N. E. Texas. The thunder was such a rolling thunder, one rumble went on and on, kind of scared me! Lol. Never know what horrific thing will happen next! Anyway, hope y'all got wet!
My husband has lupus symptoms and none of the Drs many many Drs that he has gone to will even attempt to address it he takes that ivm that cannot be named and several herbs his is better than it has been in the 13 years weve been married

Drip system works great, but like anything else, they need to be watched/maintained periodically.
Hey Heather would you mind sharing where you got those solar panels. Thanks! ❤️
I use Scissors a lot in my kitchen. I do alot of quilting so I have plenty of them laying around. Downton Abby was so good and sad. I cried
Your "hydrant" is a frost free faucet. In Idaho we put them 4' deep. The concept is that when you pull the lever down to shut off the water, the water drains down to the bottom and leaks out into the ground to drain the water so the faucet won't freeze. When you install it, put 5 gallons of gravel in the bottom of the hole so the water can drain from the faucet. I don't imagine you would need to go 4' deep in Texas, but check will a company that sells the to determine the proper depth in your region. Be sure and call dig Line before digging, if you will be doing it with equipment. I need to replace one tomorrow, but we are waiting on Dig Line to mark the area. We know a gas line runs next to the guys frost free and don't dare hit it with my backhoe.
I have to go see a gynecologist. I need prayer. Having female problems. God bless you and your family ❤️
From what I have seen Insulin production and insulin resistant are keys to weight loss. Dr. Ekberg, Dr. Berg, Dr. Boz and others explain this in their videos. If you really want to lose weight I would strongly suggest watching any of them to understand the link between insulin resistant and weight and other diseases.
Yes do it in the walkways!!

I would do it in the walkways not the garden area.
