Just another video of my boys "Peanut" (the orange one) & "Junior" (the orange & white one) - wrestling in their play-pen.

Just as the title says.

The little "Brother-Friends" playing in the side-yard, which is the nicest shade spot on the property, and was their playpen in their first few months of being out at the land

Just another short video of hanging out with my kitties: Junior, Peanut, & Blinky. Blinky started using is back foot more, and started playing again. (He didn't play much while he was heeling). At this point they were about 5 months old. The reason that I kept them in the pen is because they were still small enough for some of the birds in the area to take off with, and I didn't yet know about any of the other wildlife in the area. And at that time, I had not yet explored the woods (more like a large thicket) around the property. And the woods in the area was so thick with underbrush, dead wood, and bushes that it would be almost impossible for me to get to them if I needed to. But this was a huge upgrade from living on our covered patio in the apartment near where I found them.

Just a short video of hanging out with my kitties: Junior, Peanut, & Blinky. Blinky had gotten stung by an Asian Hornet on his leg, and was not using his leg for almost a week, and then barely using it after that. This was the first day that he started using his leg almost normally again. Junior does the "Thumper-Foot" while drinking from the sandbox/pool And Peanut just purrs like a mad-man (Apologies for the Heavy Breathing at the beginning. I was still grossly over-weight at that time, and was un-aware of how much the microphone picked that up.)

This was the first night that I was going to spend the night at the land with our rescued kittens (that we bottle-fed from infants) that now live at the land. (Because we already have another family in our apartment.) We call them "The Blinkoons" only because "Blinky" (the black & white one) was named first... Because he never blinked. "Peanut" is the all orange one (I mention his eye because he got stung on his face about 5 minutes after first arriving at the land.) And Junior is the orange & white one. He is named "Junior" because he looks like a combination of both "Poopchie" & "GeeGee" (who the land is named after.) I thought this was the first night, but it took a couple days for Peanuts eye to get back to normal, so I'm guessing that this is their 3rd night.

Just to get an idea of what is around, we took the "Back Road" to the highway from our place

I originally made this video to describe and show my property to a friend back in The States.

First Day Exploring The Villa, and the bee equipment that came with the property

This is the first video that was made of the land that I purchased in 2023. This video was taken a few weeks after the purchase was finalized, and Spring had finally sprung. This is just a quick tour that I had originally made to send to a friend to get help with how to actually "do" everything. There is no electricity or water on the property, and it is just a small A-Frame, but there are over 40 fruit trees of various kinds, and about the same amount of grape vines that are of the variety Kailashka Muscat. And the property came with five bee hives. Only three of-which have bee colonies in them. And, as you can see - there is a small secluded reservoir only a very short walk from the property. At this point in the journey, I and my wife are complete babies - knowing nothing about caring for a property (besides how to cut the grass), and nothing about caring for an orchard or vineyard. Only a serious passion to learn. Also - at this point - we did not have a vehicle that we could actually drive up to the property, as there is a section of the road that would collect water and become a pretty deep mud puddle, so we had to park our car at the highway and walk up the hill - about half a kilometer. (And, at that time, I was fat and out of shape from sitting on my ass in front of a computer for over 10 years.) #homesteading #offgrid #tinyhome #Aframe #bees #orchard #vineyard
