I love your farm stories! There's nothing better than working the land and raising animals. Makes life worth living even though it's very hard work.

You go Gonzo girl! Mandates are unconstitutional!

But to clarify, when I say "you go girl," I mean, like encouragement; moral solidarity. Not, um, digestive processes. You know what I mean.

" I mean, like encouragement; moral solidarity."

Self evident as you are always on the positive side, but who knows what happens if, "she takes her daddy's car and goes cruisin' through the hamburger stand now"?

These farm stories are always my favorites. And the photos and videos are spectacular. I can hear, taste, and small all the good stuff you and your farm produce.

What a wonderfully bifurcated life you Drs. Malone do lead. And you help so many people along the way. Thank you!

What a delight! Thank you for

sharing your handsome Rancho and some of it inhabitants with us.

The lemon trees are special. Busy bees or a dedicated pollinator. The National Arboretum had one or more up to the roof (1 story) banana trees. They can surely get large.

Your big birds are a trip! Birds in a house are, to me, a challenge. In my bird sitting days, only met one that would relieve itself on command. Gonzo is surely a challenge. Hope the area she enters isn't carpeted

I'm seeing my winter bird has arrived for a third year of trying to get in my kitchen window. Seems to come by middays. Has been finally giving up its daily visits some time in Dec.

Thank you for all the pictures! Such a pleasure. Expect the light snow will be welcome. All moisture is welcome as dry as its been.

Sixty bales a week! Wow! Sounds like one will need a backup for winter storms or whatever. Share a couple horse 🐎 foal pets for us.

Pleasant days.

Will laurel trees survive your climate? Had one given to us (it had a La. heritage) when in Houston and fresh bay leaves blow away those in the store spice rack

You got me interested in exploring dish soap as an insecticide. I found this article from the University of Minnesota Extension that could help many:

Your life-style choice seems to be an excellent soul and mind therapy. Am I right to say that when all else is madness, this difficult but rewarding work, this working the land and the care of animals, is very ‘grounding’? "The earth is the Lord’s, and all it contains, The world, and those who dwell in it.” -Psalm 24:1 You can say, I believe, that it is part of man’s divine assignment.

Thank you for this article. It is a respite from the chaos of Biden/Obama’s continued destruction of our nation.

The pictures are wonderful, and full of life. Gizmo is my favorite—seems to be a clown at times, which brings laughter into my life. I share the pics with my family who enjoy them and the stories I relay to them about you and your farm.

May God bless the Malone’s in ways they cannot imagine. ❤️

Love your farm stories and wow 60 bales is a lot but it pays off as your horses always look fantastic. I wonder if the Kubota breaks down you could harness up that Emu ................

From my Black Angus cattle farm in central Alabama, I love what you and Jill are doing with your piece of Heaven in Virginia! Nothing grounds you like tending farm animals and plants, and communing with nature in all seasons and all manifestations.

This morning before I left the house to feed and turn out the dog, I noticed 2 dozen buzzards in the horse pasture: a young raccoon had died there. This 82-year old picked him up carefully by the tail, using a towel, inspected him for injury or sign of illness, and he looked perfectly healthy. Probably tangled with the horse trailer that came back home last night after dark. I took him to our burn pile, where the buzzards were waiting. Go for it, guys, that's your job in the natural order. God bless you and Jill and keep the farm stories coming!

I LOVE this! It's such a lovely and joyful place. A true sanctuary. Side note: I'm going to try the dawn dish soap and water. I've heard of this, but never tried.

Thank you so much Dr Malone, I enjoy your spreading of the farm and life as such, I almost feel like part of it. Many thanks

We love to see Dr. Malone's report on his farm because we also have a similar operation here in Western Washington state~! We understand that such a property is a labor of love and dedication that few have, but we wouldn't have it any other way. Hopefully, we will see positive results from President Trump's new administration ASAP and with any luck the new emerging Quantum Starlink financial system will allow folks the opportunity to pursue their hearts desires on an even bigger scale whatever they may be~! We are also very serious horse folks here who have been without horses for a few years. so, we really appreciate hearing more of the Malone horses. After having horses most of our lives our last two horses passed away from old age after very long lives blessing our home~! Unfortunately, we lost our income about three years ago because we stood up for putting the medical patient's wellbeing before the corrupt and dangerous medical "profit mill". like many thousands of the best in healthcare have over the past several years, so having horses is not possible for us at this time but we have hopes for the future~! Thank you Dr. Malone and crew for putting such a human face on these most difficult times ;-) Sincerely, Mike

Do you have a Sauna for healthy winter relaxation and deep tissue remedy?

Ahhhhhh....sleeping like a baby.

I have also encouraged the use of a sauna. We tend to use it more in the winter and just had one the other day, so good!

Like taking a mini vacation for the body and mind. 🎯

And when it's not in use,

It doesn't cost a dime.
