Give our Gander some ❤️ in the comments!
Thanks for all of your suggestions for naming him.
After reading through the comments, I've decided to name him Xander the Gander 🪿.
We got both Xander and his female mate from Murray McMurray Hatchery, and they've been a fun addition to the homestead. Now we just need to come up with a name for her!
It's hilarious watching these two walk around next to our 3-year-old son's toy fire truck. They look like a pair of giant Godzilla geese roaming the farm. 😂

Her goats keep having babies...
Yes, they are cute... super cute, maybe. And the milk is yummy...
But we can't take it anymore...
I'm not even kidding. (No pun intended)
In this video we tell the truth about the situation and what we're planning to do next.

Why are THOUSANDS of people showing up to a gardening festival in the middle of nowhere?
After spending time here… I think it’s about a lot more than gardening.
New video is live.

Which one of these was your VERY first phone? 📞📱😂
Bonus points if you remember: • what year you got it • the company/service provider • and your ringtone 😅
Crazy how fast technology changed.
