Cattle Egrets follow cattle so they can eat the insects they scare up. They also sometimes follow tractors for the same reason. A freshly cut alfalfa field is a great place for them to find insects to eat.

She Caught The Biggest Fish Of Her Life, and Loved Every Minute of it.
It was almost as much fun to watch her catch the fish as it was for her to catch it. It still makes me smile just thinking about it.

Some Cactus Flowers in Bloom
When a cactus blooms, it's almost a miracle. Cacti are plain little pain inflicting machines that aren't that pretty most of the time. When they bloom though, it's a whole different story. Each type of cactus has it's own unique flowers.

Harvesting Sweet Potatoes Grown In A Straw Bale
I've grown Sweet Potatoes in straw bales for several years now. I've had much more success growing them in straw bales than any other way. Most of the sweet potatoes in this video were harvested from just two slips.

Reading Matthew Chapter 10 - Easy Listening Bible Verses - ASMR
I hope you enjoy listening to me read the Bible. On my other channels, I've heard from quite a few people who would be interested in hearing me read anything. I hope these words reach those people, and others who need to hear them. Thanks for listening. Please subscribe and share with friends and family. God bless!
A little about the Book of Matthew in the Bible:
Extensive use of Old Testament references.
Tracing Jesus’ lineage back to Abraham.
Emphasis on Jesus as the “Son of David.”
Matthew is divided into seven parts:
Chapters 1-3 and 4-7 introduce Jesus as the Messiah and the coming of God’s Kingdom.
Chapters 8-10, 11-13, and 14-20 invite people into the Kingdom’s power.
Chapters 21-25 and 26-28 conclude with Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection.

Black Swallowtail Butterfly Eating Nectar From Been Balm
We get a bunch of these Black Swallowtail Butterflies every summer. They even lay eggs in our garden, and the caterpillars like eating our plants. We've learned to live with them though.

Boronia Dwarf Tomatoes - One of My Favorite Tomatoes
Boronia Tomatoes are a delightful variety that offers a unique twist on traditional tomato flavors.
Days to Maturity: Approximately 70 days
The plants are compact, typically reaching a height of three to four feet during a typical growing season.
The fruit is medium to medium-large, weighing between four to sixteen ounces.
Their shape is oblate, and they have a beautiful pink color with dark shoulders.
The texture of the fruit is smooth and meaty.
The taste of Boronia Tomatoes is reminiscent of the beloved Cherokee Purple variety.
Expect a delicious and intense flavor that tomato enthusiasts will appreciate.
Boronia was developed by a collaborative effort known as the Dwarf Tomato Project.
It resulted from a cross between two other tomato varieties: ‘New Big Dwarf’ and ‘Paul Robeson’.
The name Boronia was inspired by a native Australian fragrant flower called Boronia megastigma.
