    Lovely conclusion with your bee's 🐝 I believe that you will slowly overcome your fears. Baby steps maybe suit up and just walk by your hive or tend to thing's nearby. Be kind to yourself ptsd is an awful cross to bear. You are an extremely strong woman believe in yourself and you will thrive. Big hugs from me in the U.K. Steph xx

      Yes, in this case the camera also adjusts the lighting due to the brown tones of the wooden countertop, which doesn’t help the browning of the muffins to stand out, maybe on a white background it is more visible too, in case you don’t have the natural light while filming (in winter maybe?) just a tip ;). Love your videos!

    A good appliance repair man is worth his weight in gold these days! I just refuse to buy new, large appliances (or cars either) and mine has saved me so much money in the last three or four years. He also sold us a matching washing machine for our very old dryer, a stand up freezer to go with our little chest freezer, and the money I saved now allows me to have TWO, huge side by side refrigerators! It really makes food storage so much easier.
    Okay...on with the video. ;-)

    Blessed Sunday, Jessica and all! I’m grateful you featured your muffin recipe. I’m looking forward to using that for company that’s coming to visit next month! I’m an RN and this is not to worry you, but would advise you to have an epi pen in the house as you continue to have bees and also Benadryl nearby. Sometimes, once you are stung as many times as you were, it sensitizes you to react. Have a wonderful Blessed week with your family.

    • @threerivershomestead
      @threerivershomestead  Před měsícem +11

      Thank you for the heads up. They had warned us of that at the hospital after the attack. Thankfully we have a bunch of epi pens around the house due to my son's allergies.

    • @Michele_6815
      @Michele_6815 Před měsícem +3

      @@threerivershomestead that makes sense that you would be prepared with many epipens due to Gabe’s severe allergies. I’m glad about that. I grew up in Texas and my dad was attacked by fire ants. After that he became allergic to bee stings and every time he was stung, the allergic reaction worsened. Like the original commenter I’m not wishing to be negative or alarmist. Just wanted to share what I witnessed with my dad so you are informed and stay safe. ❤

    Happy Sunday to you and your sweet family! I'm the same way about my kitchen. Praying your fridge can be easily fixed. Love your videos whether they are short or long. I miss having mulberries. When I was growing up, we had two very big mulberry trees in the back yard. We kids ate them throughout the summers (as well as wild blackberries) and picked tons of them for our Mama to make jams and cobblers with. After both of my parents passed away, the trees died too. Of course that was just a coinsidence. The trees were at least two hundred years old according to the number of rings inside the trunks. Such sweet memories come to mind just hearing the word "mulberries." Have a wonderful upcoming week! Blessings! 💙💙💙

    Funny how God keeps us going forward even when we would rather stop. Hopefully the wild bees will be respectful of your care. God’s abundance is all around us if we look.
    My salsa is more on the drier side, no beans or corn but bell peppers, celery and garlic and several jalapeños . We put it on everything even meatloaf and scrambled eggs . I top stuffed eggs with it too.
    Hopefully your fridge returns to a working status. Thank you again for giving me guidance in canning and gardening. Take care~

    Hello beautiful family! I love catching up with your videos. Here in Australia our end of year is before a long school holiday in December. Everyone is exhausted by Christmas day.
    My reason for writing is your old dog TOM, who I suspect he has bad arthritis from the way he walks. These days vets have very good meds to deal with the pain and stiffness he must feel. Unfortunately sleeping outside especially in the winter will increase his arthritis. God bless and thank you for all your encouragement.

    I have chamomile but I also collect pineapple weed from my driveway. You use the whole plant not just the flower part and I wash it about 5 times since it grows in odd places. I like it more than chamomile for tea. MN here and I have to say you are well over a month ahead of us here. My mulberries are tiny little greenish things still, but I know they will come in and overtake me! Thanks for sharing and hope the fridge gets fixed!

  • @Happy2Run4Me
    @Happy2Run4Me Před měsícem

    Oh yes! Love the salsa recipe! I’ve just started getting tomatoes to form on the plants and fresh herbs, beans, cowpeas, rutabagas, turnips, beets, chard, oh it’s just a wonderful time! I’ve had to cut up and preserve my remaining butternut squash I grew last fall before they start to go bad because the new squash plants are starting to produce. So exciting! I’ve got fresh onions and garlic as well. All the timings for things are so different here in the south from there up north. 😮I have to get all my tomatoes as soon as possible before the heat peaks over 100 degrees (we’ve had a few days at around 95-97 already) So I have to try to get all I can at once and preserve as much as possible before the heat kills them off. Same for green beans. Which is why I plant cowpeas so I have something growing all summer and some make for good snap beans and I use them that way until the fall. I also plant a bunch of sweet potatoes as well and rounds of potatoes as well so they’re not all ready at the same time. It’s a crazy time of year! I’ve also started getting cucumbers as well and I’m so excited to start pickling and making tomato and cucumber salads too. Great year so far for my garden (it’s my 3rd year gardening here). Each year it gets better and it’s so exciting! I love this time of year when I worry if I’ll have enough time and energy to get everything preserved before it goes bad or the plants die. It’s stressful but in a good way. My goal for a years worth of tomatoes preserved is well on its way! Honestly, even God has been planting volunteer plants for us this year. We’ve found lots of wild foods growing around us as well that we didn’t know we could use but they’re extra plentiful this year. So amazing!

So i fill it to the brim, and it caused it to not get the airflow it needed, so freezer bottom froze over, started leaking, DAILY! So took everything out and let it sit for 24hrs or so til melted and then my honey cleaned underneath and reset it. It's a lot of work, but it has to be done. Hope urs is good. Love from Tennessee
