    I have begun my second go-round watching your videos. It's a cool wet northwest summer Sunday here on Vancouver Island. I am lounging on my couch with a glass of fine Sauvignon Blanc. My old yellow cat has joined me for a head scratch but has completely forgotten his intention. He is captivated by your chicken and dog closeups. What fun!

    Two things: First, your story has taken on a life of it's own. Secondly your unique perspective does not need a soundtrack. I am sure that We would all enjoy the sounds of nature and perhaps some of your own music or songs.

For some reason that I can't explain, I've always been thinking to have a life in a quiet place... like Ireland for example. But your place, I have no words to describe. Just loving your videos. I saw you had a baby. God bless you all.

    Love your videos! Keep on trucking! When I was in Guatemala way back in the '70's, I would go to the river and live there for a week or two. My family had a simple cabin there. there was no electricity, and the river water was crystalline! It was great! Now I live in Santa Cruz, California and get to enjoy the Pacific every single day. Life is good. I especially appreciate your connection with your animals. It is so heartwarming to see this. I'm not around animals in this way, and it looks so wonderful. I realized while watching your video, how strong is the connection animals feel towards humans. Very beautiful. Oh yes, by the way, your English is very good. Thank you for doing your videos in English.

    You have flowing water. You could use that energy to operate a rampump to have running water at the house. Far better than carrying water by the bucketful. Especially during the winter. You may not have a huge volume at one time but it will run 24/7.

      As I understand, there has to be a drop of several feet through pipe to provide pressure to drive the pump.
