I've been watching your videos, this is the first one I'm commenting on. My husband, my Mother, and I all live on a permaculture farm, so I'm enjoying the peak into a families lifestyle which is similar to ours.

Her singing, while milking the cow was so simple, and so very lovely BECAUSE of its simpleness. The beauty of her voice, the earthiness of milking a cow...those are the kinds of true joys found in such a life.

When I was 6 My wrist had just gotten better

I was in 1st grade When I sprained it

At the state fair I milked a cow

I loved it

Thank you for your comments. I am glad you got the opportunity to milk as having cows in your life is a real gift. We just finished shooting the 'day in the life of our cows' video and I hope to post it soon.

Learning how to provide for oneself directly through homesteading will teach children and adults hardwork, modesty, independence, and dependence on nature. I think it would bring out the best in all involved. Your children will have fond memories of you teaching them on the farm while most children remember fathers missing dinners and being gone for weekends...and mothers strung out and pressured trying to be perfect and being unhappy.
