Scenes from a small homestead

Just thought 'yall might want (need?) a break from the economy, Obama, webbots, etc. This is purely a step-back-and-smell-the-roses video. I hope you are doing that for yourselves. The music is one of my favorites. I like that it suggests no fear of the future, and the opening reminds me very much of my childhood. It's an original composition played and sung by Patrick Henry Hughes. Born blind and with other physical challenges, Patrick was blessed with an incredible musical talent and a spirit that never quits or sees limitations. He and his family were featured on Extreme Home Makeover a couple of years ago. I didn't see the show, but stumbled upon his website and story. You can order his CD's here:

Wow - that is a nice goat and milking platform! And are those alpine strawberries or domestic that have gone wild - both taste really good.

Thanks -- Hubby made it. He's clever and handy as can be -- WHEN I can get him to finish a project. Yes, those are wild (Alpine) strawberries. We have a great patch of them at the back of our property. I would LOVE to find a domestic variety that tastes as good as they do, even though they are so small. Although this year I noticed them being bigger than usual.

I've never been to Michigan, but it sure looks pretty, and your girls are darling. Thanks for sharing your "homestead"!

Michigan IS beautiful -- and we don't even live in the pretty part. : ) The Upper Pennisula is to die for scenary-wise. As for my girls, well, thank you. I had to adopt so I would have cute kids. LOL.

You have great esthetics (choice of music and photos) and real skill as a photographer. You should make a master video of all your materials, burn some dvd's and sell them. I'd buy a copy!

Your little girls are so cute.
