Zinnia’s school had an egg hunt yesterday at which the “Easter Bunny” made an appearance. The Producer fled with her bucket, a similar reaction to the one she had at their Christmas party with Santa. I realized that she has an innate sense of facade, a trait kids seem to share. But adults tell them to stifle it, “come on it’s just fun,” and then when we get older we simply turn that into, “what are you, a conspiracy theorist?!” I have also noticed that The Producer has an innate desire to participate and help around the farm. I can see how parents would say, “I’ll just do it myself because kids are messy, awkward, take forever, etc” but once again we have discouraged what could turn into the curiosity of an adult who is engaged in his or her community. Just some thoughts on this Easter weekend. Being a parent continues to teach me so much about why Jesus said, “Anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” For those of you celebrating the empty tomb today, hosanna! One of my favorite verses in John is the very last line, “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.“
A couple months ago I was doing a cold plunge, and because I was doing a video about it, I was not paying attention to my breathing when I got in. Within seconds, I felt pressure over my right eye like I was about to get a bad headache. It went away within a few hours, but I started looking into cold plunge and stress. I have read that the practice is somewhat controversial. My takeaway has been that cold water should be used as a practice for learning to overcome your sympathetic nervous system and engage your parasympathetic response. It can work against you if you go into the water stressed and disregard your breath. What do you all think? What have you heard about this? Anyway this is my new cold plunge set up, thanks to my parents for the Christmas present!
My dad ordered “soup bones” from his local farm and got a couple whole leg bones. I guess you could use some kind of saw to cut them. But he brought them to our house for Zinnia, our rescue dog who started with humble beginnings as a pup seized by police and is definitely living the life now.
Making fresh milled, whole grain bread at home can be challenging but it’s so worth it! We made several dense loaves before we got it right. The most important trait in a successful bread maker is persistence. So don’t give up! Here are a few tricks we have learned along the way. Hope it helps. I know many of you are far beyond the beginnner stage so please share your tips as well! There is nothing better than warm bread, fresh out of the oven, with a nice big slab of butter, even if it’s not perfect. 🧈 As my grandmother, Ruth Morrow, used to say, “Even my failures are edible.”
And now, taking issue with cameras following you literally everywhere. Makes you a "defund thr police" Leftist!

Further proving YouTube Shorts make creators less money. Though I disagree with his claim that long form creators should move into shorts. That is totally untrue. If a long form creator wants to move into shorts, make a new channel for that. Long form creators with an established audience are still doing well. But shorts will cannibalize a channel.
