Real Winter Life at my Rural Countryside Home

It's mid winter in the Berkshire hills and we're finally hit with a snowstorm. We're low on firewood and having a hard time keeping our driveway clear and look to good friends for help. We enjoy the beauty of small blizzards and work hard/play hard all the way through.

00:00 wintery scenes of my cabin home and forest
03:00 first snowmobile ride
04:00 the challenges of winter
06:28 spiffing up my tractor
07:50 the last of the firewood
08:45 tidying up the a-frame house
10:00 winterizing my old VW bus
10:50 selling my old land rover
13:20 harvesting serendipitous firewood
18:50 old machines vs. winter
21:08 firing up my old blue pickup
22:00 home made pasta at my parents
22:47 home made flour for sourdough bread
25:00 our first snowmobile ride to the lunch spot

My dear friend, you’ve given yourself three gifts: Living the days you dreamed of, recognizing your gift in the moment, and creating a beautiful memory to be cherished. It’s a lesson many of us need to take to heart. Thank you.

I have been told from time to time... Rick! You can't! Live in the Past! and I tell them maybe but I sure as hell can visit it! And that I do! through thes sessions every Sunday with Trout & Coffe...

This is every bit of my old life and this is as close as I can get to it...

Once again my day has balance. Thanks Kyle and all the good people of Trout & Coffee for all that is good in life... ☕️💗🌄

When we moved to Vermont in the 70's we had snow by Halloween.
We have added about 6 extra weeks of gardening since then too.

I found this channel 2 videos ago. I drop everything when you post now! The best cinematography on YouTube and always a great story

[krisslager]

I’ve had a plaque on my wall for years that says “These are the days we will remember forever” and it’s absolutely true!
I just love indulging on yours & Ally’s videos. Beautiful works of art that transport me to far away dreams mingled with misty memories.

I know, Winter is what I miss the most. The snow, cold, and wind is so refreshing. Makes me feel alive, thriving! Miss that now.❄️

[theresablougouras]

You are so right, a life time goes by in the blink of an eye! You and Allie have the ability to make us older generation feel young again, thank you for sharing your lives with us so beautifully!

***Your closing words reminded me of an old 1970's song :"Those were the days my friend,
I wished they'd never end. We'd sing and dance forever and a day..."~by Melony
Yes, you have created an enviable life and lifestyle, loves and friends!
Been watching a few years now. Keep them coming.
Love your relaxing voice and Alli's herbs and natural approach.
I am a retired English teacher who spent 10 years in China's Himalayas.
Love you guys, Anna/The LlamaMomma

The way Ally poked out of the house to peek at the snow with the brightest smile from ear to ear 🥹

[richardredling]

Great video. Love it when you and John get together and play with your industrial toys.

[stevenlilelogistics]

Great video. I gave up splitting by hand. Used log splitters usually are not too expensive and worth every penny. God Bless.

[sophiabarnes]

So beautiful a life you have, love the sound of your voice!

[rebekkad.]

Your choice of music always reflects the video and makes watching so much fun.

[odilegabayengel]

Beautiful snow….I am so glad you bought this house ! And yes, these are the days of dreams….

[mistah_crowley]

Our winter has been even more tame and strange over in eastern Mass. I remember regular power outages, school snow days and at least a couple powerful storms per season growing up. It's a shame, but I truly hope we have another shift in weather coming for the years ahead.

[OwleesNest]

I love the life you have built, Kyle. Keep dreaming!

[Houseds]

The A-frame house has a wonderful, peaceful and beautiful rural natural setting

[SimpleMandy]

Thank you so much for sharing. Your video reminded me so much of how I grew up and it's a place I am now, in my 40s, going back to.
