A Peek at My Current Farm Project, Piles of She Shed Materials, and a Heartfelt Thank-You!
I can see the light at the end of my pasture clean-up project. Once I've punished myself long enough with the tiresome maintenance I'll reward myself by jumping into the construction of my she shed.

Still working hard to eliminate the dry grass. The Creek Fire, which burned over 400,000 acres a few years ago, started Sept 6, 2020. I'm working like an ant to harden my place against fire this season.
Ozempic Weight Loss Update!

Wow, I'm still reeling from my major milestone met as of this morning. I still have miles to go before I sleep, to quote Robert Frost, but I'm over halfway through my journey. In Wizard of Oz speak, I'm right about where Dorothy and the others reach the poppy field. More dangers ahead, but I can see the top of the Emerald City at the horizon line, and I have renewed hope that I'm actually going...

Weedwacking like a Honeybadger Fighting a Cobra
zhlédnutí 658Před měsícem
Summer in the central California wildlands is not for the faint of heart! I've been outside doing weed abatement for the past few days. It's slow going in this heat, but I'm making pretty good progress, given the fact that I'm a fat 65-year-old woman attacking this ugly job all by her lonesome. Tawanda!

Trying New Things!
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed 3 měsíci
I've had many non-scale victories since dropping 85 pounds. I can now fit in a restaurant booth, shop till I drop on my own two feet, work outside all day, sleep deeply, and so much more. Here's a little vlog about some new experiences I've had recently. I still feel like I'm walking around in a really good dream, afraid of waking up.

Ozempic Update and I Make Some New Friends!
Good grief, woman!! You do not mess around when you decide to do something! I am very amazed at all that you are accomplishing. I'm thrilled that the horses are getting taken care of and hopefully will be fat and sassy very soon! I'm floored at all you have done. I can't wait for your She-Shed. I think it will be amazing. And a gardening center to do your thing in. Hugs to you and Grant and all the animals! 🥰💜
@@denisegustafson Thanks Denise! I'm currently resting up at the San Diego home of a dear friend from High School. San Diego is about a seven hour drive from my house and I was really nervous about making the trip alone, which is why I decided to venture outside my comfort zone. I'll get home Saturday then turn around Tuesday and drive to Northern California to visit another dear friend for a few days. When my traveling is done I'll break ground on the sheshed. Tawanda!
@@cherylcoyote Good for you! Safe travels! 💜
There has got to be a way to make the drillers fix the problem, they should not be allowed to take your water supply! I would be contacting officials of some kind, the company owners, the county and your county commissioners, please do not take it laying down!!! Stand up for your rights sweetie!!!!
@@stephanieetter5396 Thank you for your words of support as we work our way through the current water challenges. As frustrating as it is, the neighbor did nothing wrong, or at least nothing actionable, where the drilling was concerned. Water availability is a gamble in the foothills of the Sierras, and I'm thankful that our well has produced for so many years.
Just amazing! Looks awesome! Love your organization skills, wow just wonderful! Won't be long before your shed is completed! Thrilled with the update on the horses🥰and the kind support you've received😍❤❤
@@modgranny I'll do my best to fatten them up, bless their horsey little hearts!
The window behind you needs good wiping and cleaning off the spider webs so nothing bites you when filming , be careful
@@VictoriaTheBoss-dz5wk Funny you should mention that! Every time I shoot a video from the porch I ponder my spider webs (daddy long legs) and think that I really should take a break from my other jobs and dedicate a morning to scrubbing down the porch.
@@cherylcoyote lol hahaha , you are so sweet , reason I said that was nothing negative, just a spider bit me while walking my dog , my toe got swollen so bad had hard time to bend or walk on it, ended up in ER and got steroids and antibiotics for it and took a week to heal , just be very careful this time of the year. Much love to you 🌹🌸🌺🌷💐🪻🪸
@@VictoriaTheBoss-dz5wk Oh my gosh, how horrible! Years ago I was bitten by a black widow. It caused awful abdominal pain and a nasty wound, although your experience sounds much worse than mine.
@@cherylcoyote yes, they bite nasty , it hurts so bad but am healed now however I always look for spider webs and the minute I see them around my windows or enterance door , come out my broom and towels to wash it all away lol and even kill the spiders if I see them , have no feelings for them at all lol
You look great in this color shirt ❤
Thanks! Emerald green reminds me of my beautiful mother, who was a green-eyed natural redhead with a penchant for emerald jewelry. Mama was a true southern belle, magnolia-skinned and soft spoken, but tough as nails. I miss her acutely.
@@cherylcoyote bless her , and God be with you always, you are precious and so lovely and kind 🌻
Please make more cooking home making, and tour of the kitchen and living room clips
@@VictoriaTheBoss-dz5wk Oh gosh, I'm so looking forward to sharing the upcoming home improvements with you all. In addition, I want to do a deep dive into what I've been eating as I've lost 105 pounds, so far. So much to share, so little time!😊
Those socks are faboo! I love you!
@@oldbroad673 Hi Sweetie! So good to see you! The socks just cracked me up. Junk food for my feet!🤣 I've been too fat to put socks in for a few years so my sock haul was a bit of a celebration. I hope you're doing well. We need to catch up!
@@cherylcoyote we really do. Long story to tell you. ❤️
@@oldbroad673 Looking forward to it - messenger me.🥰
275 c Or 275 f ?
200F(about 95C?) - I set the oven at 275F but a viewer suggested 200F for less color loss. I tried it and I agree. A little less heat was preferable.
@@cherylcoyote Great ! Thank u :)
I love my golf cart.Here in Montcalm county we can drive them on the roads.So it gets used alot.
They're a lifesaver, for sure! Grant is going to set up a solar charging station for ours.
You sure are a hardworking lady😊
Thanks Lindy! I spent so many years too sick and slow to keep up with life maintenance. This summer has been a renaissance for me, and I'm grateful for the infusion of strength and purpose I've had this year. If you're healthy and on your feet anything seems possible!
I am so happy that you feel well enough to tackle all of this cleaning and organizing. Your videos brighten my day.Hugs from Ohio🌺
Thank you! So looking forward to sharing the she shed progress with you, too!
Why are people sending you money for horses that supposedly are not yours? I do care about animals so don't get me wrong there but I'm sorry whoever owns them and IS NOT taking care of them and they are starving well they need reported.
That's the point - people aren't sending me or the neighbors money, they're sending money to the horses. What difference does it make as long as the cash is used to support them? People want a happy ending and I want to provide it. Consequently, I'll be posting frequent updates on their feeding, care, and progress. Stay tuned for the excitement🥰🐎😊☹️(that grumpy looking one is you!🤣)
Turn them in for not taking care of their animals. It's disgusting
Hey Daniel! I was wondering when you'd weigh in on this. I've got them on rice bran with a little feed grain, plus an apple and a carrot each day. We're starting slow and watching their poops and behavior. I'll add alfalfa soon. Meantime, they're chomping the ample grass in my upper pasture. I know that the impulse is to just turn them in, but one of the things that comes with age is wisdom. What's best for all concerned? Keeping them in the neighborhood and together makes the most sense. Keeps tensions at bay and gives the horses a chance to fatten up under my supervision. If the neighbors had refused my offer to help then this story would have ended differently, with a call to the SPCA. Discretion is the greater part of valor, my friend.
Cheryl just remembered not to overdo it sweet friend Cathy God bless You 🙏🏻✝️☮️
I've struck a balance between pushing myself and being reasonable about hydration, frequent breaks, moving carefully, and all the rest of it. Let's hope my enthusiasm doesn't get the better of me!🤣
Hi Cheryl how are doing sweet Friend Not everyone Garden is doing that good sometimes it happens don’t get discouraged there is fall and Next year You will ace it God bless You 🙏🏻✝️☮️💗🍀🌺🌹💐❤️💙💜
Thanks! Yes, so many gardeners I've spoken with this summer are having trouble with low yields. I suspect that pollinators are in short supply. I rarely see bees anymore. But, like you said, next year is a new opportunity!
Such a creative mind indeed. Looks like your one busy lady. 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Hey Tamson! I think I'm making up for lost time. For so long my head was stuck in thoughts of dying parents, the pandemic, and just being too unhealthy to work. Whoever said "If you've got your health, you've got everything" sure wasn't kidding!❤
You’ve worked so hard! You do have pretty neat subscribers. I can’t wait for work to begin on your She-shed and the clever way you’ll use your resources. ☮️
You and me both! Summer is heading into the home stretch and I'd so like to have the shell completed before winter sets in - roof, walls, windows, doors.
Things are looking so good.. I’m so happy you’re feeling good and you look absolutely awesome. ❤️❤️
Thanks Kim! I've become a much tidier person in my old age. Whipping this place back into shape gives me no end of satisfaction!
You are doing so much work out there. Its looking fabulous 🎉 Bob and I are always reusing lumber. You have some great plans for the yard, I cant wait to see the she shed❤
Hi sweetie! I can't wait to get started and share it all with you! I hope all is well with you and the family.🥰
Cheryl, I'm so proud of you and the progress you have made in yourself and around your home. Loves sweet friend 💕
Thanks Wanda! ❤
Things are looking great around the homestead with all the grass raked up. I was sorry to hear about your garden drying up. It was looking so pretty this year with all the work you put into it.
Hi Sweetie! Not a huge loss. I was trying to squeeze out a couple more weeks of sunflowers but they were looking pretty sad. I hope you're both well and happy🥰
👊🏼💙
Do you have a horse rescue near you? By the look of one of the horses it may need more help than you are capable of. Bless you for intervening.❤️
Stay strong ❤❤❤
Thanks Kathy!🥰

Sorry about all the stress and the stress eating. I totally understand the issue because I’m a stress eater too. If I’m too upset I’ll eat something I don’t even want that tastes like crap just to be eating something.
Yep, that's an eternal struggle. I'm cutting myself some slack about stress eating, while staying on top of my weight and making some changes. Right now I'm most concerned with getting enough water and protein, while continuing the intense physical exercise. I don't normally weigh every day but I'm doing it now, and probably into next month.
Wow, a lot going on!! I hope things settle down ❤
Hey Therese! I hope you're well and happy. I've got my nose to the grindstone, making progress while the sun shines. Looking forward to a peaceful, quiet winter.❤
Hi Cheryl, i just sent you $50.00 for the horses. Don't know if I did it right. Did you get it ? thank you for steppig up beautiful heart ...Esther
I think it will post in a few days. I'll stay on top of it and confirm when it comes through. Thanks!!!
Thanks!
Oh wow, I'm overwhelmed! Thank you so much. I'm humbled by your gift. It will buy 100 pounds of rice bran! 🥰🐎❤
@@cherylcoyote outstanding ! please keep us updated ...again thank you for stepping up xoxoxoxo
@@sissy9405 I'll keep you updated. Thanks again for your generosity!
@@cherylcoyote You are welcome :)
🙏🏻🐎🐎🐎🐎🤍
Hi Wanda!😊
Hi Cheryl, do you think it would help to share with your neighbor that malnourishing horses is considered animal cruelty, and is a crime? Is money the reason? Horse feed doesn't seem too expensive. Would your neighbor be willing to give the horses to you and Grant? Glad you are there to care for them. You look beautiful, by the way! Very inspiring!
If the neighbor decides to relinquish the horses, I'll foster them while they find a new home. Properly cared for horses are very expensive, more than I can commit to in the long term, but I'll help as much as possible. The situation is heartbreaking.
Oh my goodness, Cheryl! I see why you stress ate. Bless you for saving those horses. I'm not sure those people need to have livestock if they can't do better than that. Ugh. That fire looks scary and entirely too close. I am glad you didn't get the brunt of it, but pray for some rain for you. Hugs to you and Grant! 💜
Thanks Denise! I'm going to step out on faith that we can help the horses regain their health. I think I'm done stress eating, for awhile anyhow!😊
Enjoy your travels!
You've done well pilgrim!! Yes, stress happens and you had the full awareness to go with it and come out the other side! Water, starving animals and fire definitely qualify for a reason to be stressed to the max. I gave myself some slack last night and snacked until bedtime, I did not sleep well as a result. I kept waking up feeling full and uncomfortable. Tonight will be different. Proud of you Cheryl, you are one wise gal.🥰🥰❤
Thanks sweetie, I'm stumbling along and doing my best!
Oh my, lots going on. The neighbor putting in a well, could do your water supply in. That alone is a real stress. I go for as fast a walk as I can when stressed. And add naps to keep my sleep hours good. I went off eating plan and then back on, don't look back, focus just ahead. Thinking of you.
Thank you, Karen! I'm back in control and pretty sure the stress eating episode is over. Exercise and naps are good medicine!😊
For the horses xxx Colette
Colette!? Thank you so much! That allows me to pick up the salt lick. My neighbors don't have much extra cash. Your kind and loving heart is inspirational!
🙏🙏🙏🐎🐎💧💧💧🔥🔥🔥🧓
Hi sweetie! I hope all is well in your world!❤
Wow, stress….seriously….thats catastrophic amounts of stress. The water alone, but add the fire and the horses….i would have had a meltdown. Headed straight for the ice cream store. I can’t smoke week either….knocks me out. But a tiny bit of a gummie is good at night now and then, I don’t like being high….do people enjoy that…..ugh. Glad to hear you got some fun trips planned. Pure pleasure and lots of laughter dead ahead.
Yes! So looking forward to spending girlfriend time with Rachel and Abigail. I'll leave Grant with a detailed list of chores. They aren't chores to me, though, as I look forward to rolling out of bed and attacking my life every morning!
The horses need help
Indeed, and let's all pray that they respond quickly to the feed supplements, without colic or any other issues. I haven't taken a good look at their hooves yet, but that's upcoming. The little filly needs to be handled daily, although I have very little experience with horses. But, I'm intrepid so I'm going to wade into the horse problem and see how much progress I can make. This project is a great example of my latest mantra: Do as much good and have as much fun as possible!
Looks great
Plain and simple...if you cant afford to feed animals either dont get them or get rid of them. NO ANIMAL DESERVES TO BE STARVED
@@danielwilliams2281 Amen to that, Daniel! I was just talking to another neighbor about the starving livestock. It's a huge bummer when you are foced to make the decision to drop a dime on someone with the SPCA, but it is what it is. Normally I'm a live and let live kinda person, but where neglected kids or animals are concerned, call me Karen and let me speak to your manager! They had a load of alfalfa delivered, but I'm going to watch those animals anyhow.
I look forward to your content. ❤ you go girl with all of that manual labor. Im glad to hear you are doing so well!!
@@labeauXO Thanks, I'm having a lot of fun with it!
Cheryl, I sort of lost touch with you. For maybe two years. Maybe not that long sorry. Anyway you showed up on my feed. I'm like omg Cheryl. Anyway oh my freakin god. You look beautiful. I guessed 100 lbs. Befote you daid it. I lost 82. It's taken me off and on. Tried different things. The intermittent fasting worked for me. We'te the same age! Back as a teenager. I wouldn't all day anyway. Though I'd overeat at night. I'm 319 from 401. Notice a big diffetence. Walking,moving around,getting out of a car,sofa. I'm also on metformin. Was pre diabetic. Not anymore. Though dr says I can still take it. You look great Cheryl. God Bless.❤
Wow, lots of work. Looking good❤ Love you lady!

I am so thrilled that you are able to get out and work! You are a kind person to help feed the animals. An undulating wall sounds intriguing, and I hope it works out!
@@trixier6505 I'm sure my wall will be spectacular, but the jury is still out on the horses. The neighbor said he ordered hay.
