Good Morning Ellen, My mom was a minimalist when I was growing up, and when I had my own place I became a person that had lots of things around the house, I do the same thing about purchasing online putting things in my shopping cart to think if I really need it or not.Thanks for sharing your way of reusing candles. Have a great day.

I had to purge all my various gallon glass containers. Just too heavy with my arthritic hands. Afraid I would drop one. I do keep extra flour and cornmeal in extra refrigerator or freezer. Yeast in freezer too. Always get ideas from seeing what others do.

I just found your youtube channel today and so happy i did! Going to watch some of your older videos! I have spent lots of time trying to get those labels off jars and i love your idea of just putting contact paper over them.

Just enjoyable...

Great video again, I'm like you sometimes I like to cook but sometimes I just can't be bothered. Living on own I can please myself. I'm more on the minimal side but I still like my home cosy using candles lighting throws etc. We are all different and that's what makes the world interesting, have a great day 😊

Your videos are perfect.

Love the candle idea Ellen! 😊

Hi Ellen, nice amount of groceries on line! 🎉 sounds like you had a great day!

Fires and high wind again today. I turned the Hepa filters up on high, the dogs were getting miserable.

I think its funny when you say Hopefuly you can stay home today. I feel the same way. I hate leaving the house. I can get so much done and it seems stressful the way they drive around where I live.

Hello Ellen, I look forward to your videos, always sensible and informative information. I reuse the candle containers, refill them with leftover wax from other candles too. I have been having back pain, Monday went to orthopedic and they took X-rays. Degenerative disk disorder, arthritis, and damaged disk. Nurse gave me a shot for pain, a MRI is next on the list, when the insurance clears it. Take care, give the puppies a treat for me. God bless you.

Sorry I copied and pasted. Pressure canner Used to preserve low-acid foods, like meats, beans, vegetables, and broths. Pressure canners use steam and physical force to kill bacteria and seal jars. They create temperatures much hotter than boiling water, around 240°F, which is necessary to kill botulism and other bacteria in low-acid foods. Pressure canners are different from pressure cookers, and pressure cookers should not be used for canning. My input If you use an unused canner ( for a while) order a new rubber gasket and safety pop out plug. I get mine from Amazon, some of them are carried at hardware stores. Please order the Ball Blue book and be informed on what you are wanting to do. It could mean food borne illness or even death.

Made homemade soup today. Cleaned, watched videos how there's already cheating at the polls. What a shocker!!

Thank you for the advice earlier. I'm still on the fence about the vehicle I was looking at. Our temps have been in the upper 70s, same tomorrow. Doesn't feel much like fall, but later in the week we will go back down again. Just like a yo-yo! I have 2 Presto Pressure canners and use them frequently, but this year I have so much canned already I didn't do any. I do dehydrate vegetables too, especially useful for making soups, etc. Love the lamps

I'm going to try and cut a tree limb up that I left in in my aunt's yard. The chainsaw ⛓️ wasn't oiling, and the chain stretched, so I had to take the bar off. They're saying storms and maybe 🤔 a tornado tomorrow evening. So, I'll have to bring some of the solar panels inside. Hail and high winds, and a lot of rain 🌧️. So my stock tank will be refilled and probably a few blue barrels. Looks like i need to pick the cherry tomatoes again, they're a lot turning red. I'm going to vote in the morning at the county courthouse. The 15% chance of tornado 🌪️ area is about 65 miles NW , so they should,👀 go North of me. I have to bring the spearmint plant in tonight. It has really grown and the leaves are dark green, it's pretty strong stuff, lol.

Ellen it depends on the candle jar, some are just too pretty not to re use!

Hello darling. I'm ready for coffee and your soothing voice.

I’m 70 and canned a 10-15 pounds of tomatoes and 10 pounds of peaches by myself. I started Friday at 6pm and it took me until 6pm on Sunday. When I was done I said ENOUGH…I’m too old and it’s too much work for 7 jars of each. So now I chop and freeze and make freezer jam. Just not the time and effort at my age.

I love what you did with your candles! Your house must have smelled amazing!

I really enjoyed tonight's video and watching your frugal craftiness. Have a lovely evening. I'm off to watch Hocus Pocus. 😊 🎃

I love your new little lamps! So perfect, and I think I will buy one for myself. I have an area in my condo that I absolutely need a bit of light. I never knew they had such a thing as chargeable lamps!! Thank you for the idea, Ellen!! Enjoy the evening!❤

Check can corn and the green beans I saw 50 cents!!!

Good night Ellen ❤ it’s 82 degrees in Illinois today 😊

I like decor and household items, but I’m more into having money to buy what I need when I need it. I’ve taken in this young stray male cat that someone dumped. After my husband’s eye surgeries I said I would take him to the vet and get him neutered. One thing lead to another, vaccines, physical, rabies shot, etc. $898.00 later I have a “free” cat living in my house with all his accessories, litter pans, scratch post, cans of food, bags of food, etc. 😂😻

I share your views, and I sure do like that we will be seeing more bird videos!

I made beef barley soup for the dinner and some for the freezer. It’s was a great day I took a walk . Trees all gold red and orange so pretty.

Hi Sunshine!

😊🙃😊

I love this video! It is shocking to me the difference in news broadcasts. I was recently on vacation and watching news in other countries I heard other tourists shocked at what was being reported because that's not at all what they heard on MSM in the US.

You probably know that radical Oregon is already putting out fires in drop-off ballot boxes in conservative areas....ditto for Washington in Vancouver. I watched the video with KH going into her black pastor preaching mode....that was about the lowest she has gotten. Shocking. I can not even imagine a pastor turning his pulpit over to her. I was waiting for a lightning bolt to strike. ⚡️⚡️⚡️ Canning is so much work. I grew up in a canning & freezing family. No way was I going to endure what my mom did. She canned, pickeled, etc etc. I must say, everything was delicious and fresh from our gardens. The berry jams were just amazing. Fig pickles & watermelon rind pickles....yum!! Wish I could have them now. I look forward to seeing your birds in winter. Will different species show up that we don't see in other seasons? Don't forget to stock up on seed! 🐦🦅🦉🦤🐧🦩🦜🐿🪶

Hi Ellen. Quick personal question. I'm looking at a vehicle with a rebuilt title. I think I remember you saying that your car had a rebuilt/salvage title. Any advice? I will be paying cash for the car so no financing. Any problems getting insurance. thanks for any info.

My son walked away from the Democrat party this election and joined the Republican party. He said that he did better under Trump and does not agree with what has happened to this Democrat party, too far left. Conservative is the way to go!

I agree with you 100% about the mainstream media. Very lopsided indeed. Any conservative candidate has to not only go up against their opponent but the mainstream media as well. It’s frustrating.

Great video 😊

Steam canning is for small amounts of produce that take a short process time. Pickles, relish, jams and pickled peppers will work in pint jars. I have never done a quart of anything in the steam canner. Perhaps if you want to can beans you could look at the Presto digital canner or some of the insta pots have a canning cycle. Jars do take a lot of space. I just canned baked beans and will do northern beans next. Pint jars at Walmart are close to $12 a case now. I do not think the steam canner is what you are needing, it is limited in use. The digital canners or instapot use about 3 quarts of water, some smaller ones use less.

i see my message ,got deleted. if i was talking about him in good way, my message will still be here , that will not be deleted there you go .good luck America.

I'm concerned over the outcome of the election, and our nation's response over it.

I have a Hiatal Hernia, relating to the Esophagus pushing through the stomach, causing acid reflux.

Hi Ellen, I am a Patriot through and through, and if Harris gets in we will be in big trouble, the agenda she wants is very scary and all about controlling us like puppets on a string, I say No thanks!! We need to pray everyday for our Country, scary times for sure. 🙏💕

Hi Ellen I love watching your channel what ever you are doing or talking about, everyone is untitled to there own opinion, its your channel after all 😊I’m in the U.K. our government is a mess right now, we have a budget coming up taxing every thing higher so depressing, we see snippets of Donald trump over here, 😂 never a dull moment, he is very quick witted, best wishes with your tests hope it is something that doctors can help you out with to feel better soon,🙏🏻💕😎🌼🧚‍♀️🪴xxx

I enjoy the bird feeder, I'm glad it's working again❤

😊🙃😊

Great video! Thanks!

I never comment but I always watch and love your channel. It’s very calming. I TOTALLY agree with you about this election. Our country will be even more scary if she gets in. Praying for our country .

Response to @normaoshea4460 Oh I know! Calling Trump hitler, fascist, existential threat to democracy every time you turn around is such insane name calling. I’m not sure what you mean by “so much for being Christian”. Is that whom you think is doing all of the nasty name calling about Trump? I’m not seeing that. 🥴

Hi Ellen, and family! I like the product deliveries! I agree with your political views Ellen. That’s it short and sweet! ❤

Totally agree about the MSM cherry picking and slanting the news. I'm so tired of it. I just pray that whatever happens God will help us through

Hundred percent , thank you ,I also never watch the fake news all commentary and agenda feed garbage

Mac-n-cheese, looks so good...Does it bother you that the noodles boiling, would make the water or broth, starchy, not clear?

That is exactly why I don't watch the news. It really upsets me how lopsided it is. They are the social societal problem by their blatant bias and hatred for a candidate. Its not the candidates themselves, they are campaigning for their own side, if we can remember that without getting caught up in the media drama we'd be better off. It at least will help keep my blood pressure down. Lol Good night dear Ellen and pups 💕
