Thanks for watching this 18 min video here with [Quailen at Fruits & Berries Tennessean Homestead] ?
I'm going to try to increase my Quail numbers with these 30 eggs from Whiskey Tango farms from Wisconsin.
I mention how awesome my brooder is from Hatching times and showing off my 13 two week old Jumbo Wilds that hatched 2 weeks ago.
I taped my recently purchased Govee hygrometer to my custom Quail rack in the NR360. It's all happening right now with a brief insight what I be doing in our future garden beds... ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbTYB49Y_Y8
I'm turning onto the mountain road that actually is a short distance to the property. This narrow road leads us to our house in progress, for our eventual move in.

I'm finally ending my career in the Medical Lab field as of this Friday August 2nd. This is that update to share what's been happening and where we all are now as we head into the future. The future is wide open and hope you'll join us here on Fruits and Berries as I can now be freed up from my secular job and focus on the homestead. Blessings...

We did our best this early morning to straighten out on both feet it's curled toes. I cut 2 tiny squares of cardboard. Aida held Hopper in her hand to provide warmth and security. Remember, Hopper is only 2 days old. I took each deformed 4 toes on each foot, I straighten both feet toes out and took sticky taped and placed the tape over each toes. It was a huge project but we believe it was successful! Yeah. So Hopper kinda hops!!! With the bandaged feet! Totally gets around to drink and eat. Here is a brief video on Hopper...

I have been enjoying learning to operate the new Sony HDR CX900. Tonight we have had the blessings of going out to dinner with Mitch and Liberty Metzger and family. After we got back home from eating out, The Kitchen Women here in New Fairview did there fun thing by just being themselves. Life and times of home fellowship with the Sparks and Metzgers.
Enjoy.
Blessings, Family Metzger and Family Sparks

Video taken from the Davy Crockett National State Park. Only 8 miles from our new home on Grace Dr.
Brief view of the first built cabin that was done when Davy Crockett was born. He lived in this cabin till the age of 8. Then his dad built a larger cabin not in this video for his growing up years.

Champ the Aussie dog and Arkam the German Shepard dog, who have been at eachothers throats for the last year, kissing eachother? Is this for real?
We finally have found a loving family in Texas that has approx 2 acres and will give Arkam so much love. Aida and I will be leaving our home here In Tusculum Tennessee shortly to drive back to Texas shortly to get Arkam to his awesome, loving new home. I will be so sad to see him being relocated, but thrilled that he will have the space and freedom to run and be a dog with his soon to be adapted family. Video taken by my feet, lol... here tonight in our living room.

I am sharing a thank you video to our wonderful friends today who shared their beautiful 60 acres of farmland to Aida and me this morning. We had a wonderful and inspiring tour of their farm animals and land. It was amazing!
Interest occurred on our tour of their property to build a traillis for their huge and wildly growing grape vines.
In this video, I am sharing what I recently created on our small homestead. Also it was a big thank you to them for their wonderful hospitality. I decided to include the video on our YouTube channel as it may inspire others to be creative in their fruit orchards.

Archer our dog certainly has his opinion on "Love me" command. My son Marc says the command and Archer has his say. This is hilarious! Thursday January 9th 2014.

Last night, April 18th, 2022, I got down in my spirits as emotionally I was becoming burnt out thinking, "Wow, none of these 23 Quail eggs will hatch. Yesterday was HATCH day. The eggs had already been in Lockdown for going on 2 days.
Thus late last night, loosing my Quail hope and all, I reluctantly texted Whiskey Tango Farms. It was I believe past 10:30 pm eastern time here in Tennessee. I could not believe it, they texted me back with advice to up the temp by one degree shortly after my text to them! I thought, "You crazy people to be so nice at such a late hour to correspond to a person you do not even know, to help them out!"
Well I did what they recommended and the rest is absolutely wonderful.
Thank you Whiskey Tango Farms.
Your awesome!
