    Dear Laura and Aaron, the reason that you receive wonderful things from others is because you do wonderful things for others. The flowers for the elderly, the vegetables for the needy, sharing plants and bulbs, showing people how to make things without breaking the bank, great decorating and gardening tips, all cause people to want to watch. In these dangerous times it is so nice to watch a program that does not stress and upset you. It makes you forget the horrible stuff for a few moments. I used to watch the news every day and since I focused more on gardening and decorating, I am so much happier and take pride in my own little corner of the world.

    You know the old adage that what you put out into the universe comes back to you? Maybe that explains why you were chosen for this pond installation-what you give to the world is positivity, an amazing work ethic, family cohesiveness, and loads of love. It's refreshing to find a CZcams channel that doesn't attempt to draw in viewers via controversy or drama. Your encyclopedic knowledge of plants along with beautiful videography and editing is a winning combination. Also, I totally appreciate that you jump right into each vid with no silly intro or outro!

    One Christmas, we sent you a card, and though it was opened originally by someone else at the garden center, you still included it into your mail time video, and we were absolutely tickled about it.
    We have remained faithful to your videos over the years even when many other CZcamsrs have risen to fame and faded, not only because the content you provide it top quality, but because your down to earth, loving, good hearted soul underpins everything you do.

    Quick calculation is that labor would have been conservatively $25,000 for 14 guys for 3 days, excluding design time and travel time. Add transportation costs (airfare and rental cars and food) - add equipment rental, pumps, filters, gravel and rock, boulders and liners. Increase the labor charge because these are the best of the best ... catering for the crew, and porta potty rental. It was such a generous gift from everyone involved.

      yes and if you are adding in the cost of the plants, labor to plant them, mulching and adding the drip system, ect, its way more than that. Most people would have to hire an actual electrician/plumber to run all that utility access, add in the lighting, I guess internet hookup of some type if you wanted to wire all that to sky spy, dig in lines and hook to your access point, ect. You'd also have to pay all those inspections, city/county as you went along. I'm guessing the whole thing is closer to at least 150K. The price of koi, several hundred dollars apiece, the water plants are very expensive too.

      Everyone is saying all the things I am feeling. (But, I have to say "IT WAS SO FUN!!!!") I'd rather watch you lovely people than anything on the thousands of channels of stale television shows! Just "keep on keeping on" and you'll be fine. The pond is beautiful and it must feel totally surreal to have this wonderful thing existing on your property! You have diligently worked for this. We are so happy for you!! đŸ„°đŸ„°đŸ„° 💖

    I so enjoyed watching the pond being installed. 😊 I would feel down after everyone left. I mean, these men and women had been at your house for days and were making this beautiful piece of art in your yard, and then WHAM they're all gone. I can see myself running down that long driveway hollering, Come back, don't leave me.😂 Now, what's your next big project? Hey, I live my dream through you guys, so you guys need to let me/us know so we can look forward to what's next..lol. Dang, I can't believe Benjamin is 5 1/2 years old.😼 He is growing up way too fast. He is one sweet little boy. Both Benjamin and Samantha are lucky to have great parents, grandparents,aunts,uncles,and friends to be in their lives. They bring smiles to my face and to my heart.

    Laura, I am with you on how you like to try things at least once. I look forward to seeing you process the wheat crop! Also be neat to see bread come out of it. Perhaps on the new new property this fall, you could always do a much larger patch of it for your own flour.
    ALSO..... next year, PLEASE grow a patch of your own popcorn! When my brothers & I were children, my mom had us plant, grow, harvest, strip the kernels and of course, pop and eat our own grown popcorn! We did the yellow popcorn and the whole learning process & experience is one of my most fondest & treasured memories as a small child. I think Benjamin & Samantha would find it an awesome experience as well. We had popcorn for a very long time lol.

    Attitude reflects leadership. You and your family are very positive and uplifting. You steer clear of personal agendas and opinions on current events and stay focused on the tasks at hand. This is a safe space, so it makes sense that most of the comments are positive. My neighbor says, "No politics, religion, or commentary on people's children, and you'll always have friends." Im convinced she's a genius.
