    I still remember the episode where Nicole grabbed the house keys and Chet kept telling her it was the wrong keys and Nicole was like Nope those are the right ones.Then Nicole,Chet and DougO get to their place and it was the wrong keys.The look on Dougos face was priceless.I laughed my ass off. Nicole you are definitely missed.

    I thank God for the Larson family and for their excellent example of how His followers are to live. The tour of Nikki’s Memorial Garden is a tribute to her delightful life. We could tell how special she was to Doug. She loved her father-in-law almost as much as she loved Chet. We lost a very special girl and still miss her presence. I pray for God to continue His blessings upon your family and each member of the farm operation.

I was amazed by her I loved watching her and Chet together. It was so refreshing to see how much they loved each other. Nicole and I talked about God family. Nicole was amazing Lady. I think of her often. We have a beautiful angel smiling down on each of us. We love you Nicole ❤

Bees and Butterflies and certain birds can enjoy them and help nuture them. You have done a Fabulous job caring for it Amy👏 Your Nicole is Missed by many, she certainly was a spit fire, always smiling, poking fun at Chet or Dougo, and her laugh i can still hear her laugh.

    Amy on the sign, this is what I would recommend. If you want to stain your sign, I would recommend an oil based stain like Minwax. I have had good luck with it over the years. Wear gloves then take a rag and rub the stain into your sign. Wait untill the stain has soaked in to your liking. Then wipe off the excess stain with a clean rag.
    For a top coat I recommend Minwax Helmsman Spar Urethane. It's an outdoor polyurethane that works well. 2 or 3 coats will protect your sign from the weather. Just brush it on and let it dry. If you stain first I would recommend allowing at least 3 days for your stain to complete the drying process.
    I would recommend taking your sign down in the winter though. Minnesota winters are tough on wood projects.
    I live in the cities and I use spar varnish on anything that's wood and isn't painted. It's a tough coating that will protect your sign for years.

    Amy, I loved the part about the sun garden in Nicholes memory. It truly brought a smile to my face. My late wife, Carole, started a perennial garden, 15 years ago. After her passing, five years ago, I have found peace and relaxation, working on the garden. I have expanded it's size and it contains many of the same plants that your garden has. It's been named as a location on Facebook, and all of our friends look forward to my periodic check-ins, from "Carole's Garden", posting pictures of the colorful blooms.
    Have a blessed day.

    Hi Amy what a sweet way to remember Nicole.Amy on the Mint just wanted to tell you from experience Mint is invasive. I planted it in my garden and once it get rooted we'll for a season or 2 it takes off ! I found Mint works well in it's own pot where roots can't take hold. Sends out underground runners.The garden looks beautiful dont want you have problems. Mint is a perennial.Can be wintered over in a pot in a green house.But in ground it go crazy.Just don't want you to have spreading issues. 🙏 You and your Family are the sweetest .

The last little white hydrangea is one of their new cultivars by PW I think but I don't remember the name. It's a sweet garden and perfect choices. Nice to see your vlog today.

    Nice flower garden. On the mums dont cut it back in the fall wait until spring time. once you see green shoots then u can cut it back if you are past your last frost date. When you dont cut it back the dead foliage helps keep the frost from reaching the roots and most of the time it will come back in the spring.

      He is a great entertainer. And I was blessed by him honoring our country and veterans.

    Hawaiian shirts on old guys, my stepfather wore them everyday.
    I'm at least ten years older then Dougo, and refuse to wear them...black or dark blue T-Shirts are the norm for me in our hot climate in SoCal.
