    You forgot the most important Mrs.'s K!
    3:30 – Wake up, drive to airport
    4:00 – Fly to NYC
    6:00 – Visit "Make-me-fabulous" Salon & dim-sum parlor
    7:00 – Fly back to Podunk, WA for morning chores

    You are awesome.
    I love your Channel.
    What a beautiful ring for a great Lady.
    My wife's ring is almost the same.

    Thanks for sharing your day! ❤ I have golden laced Wyandottes that have gone broody a couple times and right now I have a broody black copper Maran. Have had my easter eggers for a few years and none of them have gone broody. 😊. I always give my broody hens some of the Easter eggers eggs to hatch out. 😃. Wonderful blessings from God ❤

    Busy morning! I liked seeing your morning quiet time. I typically do my morning bible reading and prayer after I shower and before I wake everyone up for the day. It means getting up at 4:00 but it’s worth it. It’s hard to lead the family if I haven’t first submitted and allowed the Lord to lead me.

  8. K Holland

    That's awesome, thanks for sharing your morning! That is the life I'm trying to build, can't wait to get back to that lifestyle!

    When your popcorn gets too old to pop add a couple of tablespoons of water to pan along with your oil and butter. It freshens the kernals.

    I loved this video, thank you so much for sharing. It was great to see you unscripted, and you just being you. My morning latte is one of my favorite parts of the day too! Rebel is so darn cute.

  11. Connie D

    So glad I found you. When life is a circus, common sense is a balm. I'm 67 so only have berries and tomatoes. Loved your bread recipe and passed it on. Thank you for being you.

    Loved watching you do the morning homestead chores. What you have been doing, teaching people about homesteading, gardening, etc. is so very valuable. So pretty to see your place up against the Cascades. I never tire of that view. I think we live in the most beautiful part of the country. I need to find a better place for our seedling starts since we now have a very active young cat and your set up looks ideal. Even though I am late agains starting tomatoes and peppers, I got a great harvest in late Sept/early Oct. last year so I am going out to do that today. I have my cabbage in and need to plant my broccoli plants and my pea and lettuce seeds. It is finally getting warm enough to do so and we will be teased by the warm weather in the next few days. Thank you so much for all your vlogs and information. It is wonderful what you are doing, Manyblessings to you.

    Love it! My bible reading is done at 4 am before I get ready for work….best part of my day! I enjoy your videos. We have been enjoying the apple pie filling (gave out for Christmas gifts to family members) and can't wait to try with peaches this year. Got many compliments on the pie filling!

  15. Pattie Canders

    Great video. Was listening while doing my own chores. I make a list of tasks I need and like to get done and whatever doesnt get done rolls over to the next day. Being busy is great but as I age I find more rest times are needed. It's amazing how much you get done just keep enjoying it that is the key.

  16. Tifany Glasco

    Hi from Kansas! Wondering, do you have to clip your chicken’s wings to keep them from flying over your fence? We can’t seem to keep ours in. Thanks for any help.

  18. Jennifer

    Melissa loved this video. And I would like to see the afternoon chores video. Tfs jen in south dakota.

  19. Elisa Smith

    Melissa, I would really like to see more like this!! It's super helpful in tips, support for those of us doing similar things, and just all around enjoyable and filled with info to glean from. Thanks for this video!!❤️

    I have 3 Pyrenees. I don't have to worry about coyote. You should get one…. or 3.
    You do your devotions same as me. I just drink my coffee and read. If something strikes me particularly, I will cross reference and look into Strong's translations to get a better understanding. I think I have read the entire word 15 or more times in the past 5-6 years. I so agree that it is better to let God interpret it for you, rather than other peoples interpretations and theological bias.

  22. Eve Hanson

    My husband and I are just getting into the homestead lifestyle while working part-time. It's great to see you unscripted doing your thing. Gives me hope that we can make it work, too. Thank you!

  23. Kimberly Hoeffel

    Hi Melissa! Thank you for sharing your morning chores. I LOVE your videos and would love more like this. I can’t wait until it’s time to plant the starts and getting your gardening started and then when it’s time to start canning. Do you still grow the San Marzano tomatoes or have you totally switched over to the Amish tomatoes? Take care!

  26. Miss Mish

    Ive never seen a calf or a cow run to a person like that before. It was very sweet.

  28. Shelia Heverin

    I love Epic Gardening, I'm converting over to their 6 and 4 cells myself. No more flimsy seed starting trays for me. Coffee cans (the ones with handles) make great scoops.
