I feel like you would like "Over the garden wall", if you haven't watched it already

[@therapturesoon]

God's creation is so beautiful. He must have known so many of us would love the beauty of autumn season.

[@fifty-somethingwitch2406]

Absolutely beautiful. Here in the UK we are basking in ridiculously hot weather. I know we shouldn’t wish time away but I am longing for the chill of Autumn when I feel like I really come alive! Have a beautiful Autumn x

[@debby891]

Same here in upstate New York, such a long, hot, humid summer🥵

[@karltina6199]

same in Baku, such long hot days

[@mysteriumvitae5338]

But not in Helsinki. Not any more. Here, the autumn beginning in weather is actually near-identical to itself in the calendar.

[@mothdustdreams]

I feel the same. Summer is ending with a heat wave here in Germany. I revel in every misty chilly morning but during the afternoons I'm melting😅

[@debby891]

@@mothdustdreams very hot and humid here since early May, very little rain another even a chilly morning 😂.

Your video was like being wrapped in a warm blanket with a cup of steaming tea. So cozy and comforting. I feel calm and comforted. Just lovely! 🙏🍁🍂

[@gabrielledefossez5771]

Autumns beauty is a quiet one, but no less dazzling. What a beautiful and inspiring video! may you have a blessed fall season.

I have just discovered your channel and I am so excited to watch all your videos, this was just beautiful and Autumn 🍂 is my favourite season to, we have just gone into spring here in Australia but next Autumn I will collect autumn leaves 🍁 and place them on the windows 🥧🧡. You are a lovely storyteller

[@Musichowler]

This video seems to distill the delights of the season down to their very essence. I love it. I always come away inspired and with a renewed sense of joy in the season. Thank you.

[@napeekapunpimtongnara9111]

What a lovely house to live in. I swear it's so romantic and inspiring. I used to think of having a beautiful home combined with paradise, and it seems like it actually exists, your home. Your paintings are very beautiful, combining the presence of animals, beautiful birds and insects, and the colors of the leaves.

[@MyMoonstoneKitchen]

This video is absolutely beautiful, Randi!! ✨🍂 Your videos always make my day. Happy Autumn!! 🍁😊🍂🍄

[@jennyl.3742]

Still pretty green here in the Midwest. But I am starting to see the meadows full of goldenrod and a few acorns on the ground. The temps JUST dropped from Dantes Inferno to low 80s, which it wonderful. Woke up this morning, and it was in the upper 50s. We opened up the house and let the cool, fresh morning air in. Luv the dragonflies they are really cute. Gonna try to make a chime with several of them for my porch. Great video!

[@tgardenchicken1780]

Same here in Minnesota-oh the relief from the heat allows me to live again. Fall is the best time of year in my opinion.

[@jenniferhick6034]

Here in Cornwall we finally have Summer weather just as I’ve gone back to school! Watching your videos makes me not mind the season turning though as we have such beautiful nature around us just like you, Randi. Thank you from our little patch of Paradise!

[@hollie.t]

I live in Cornwall too! Looking forward to the weather cooling down, hopefully next week 🤞☺️

[@moirasoma2863]

Wonderful video🧡🧡🧡You and Darling Desi are like the queens of Autumn. How autumnal its around you already! Here in Norway I just spotted the first beanch of yeallow leaves two days ago. I wish I had a Pumpkin Patch to go to, but we dont have that here-😩. There is not a whole lot I envy you americans, but Halloween? Oh, I envy your Halloween! There is more Halloween stuff in one little section of Walmart than in the whole of Norway. I have one thing I want to do this autumn, and that is making my own tea blends. I LOVE TEA. And my tastebuds are real snobs. So I will order white tea, Oolong, Lapang Suchong, Assam.... and blend them with spcies and fruits and flowers. Cant wait!

[@thechickincharge1073]

I highly recommend Yorkshire Gold! It is a rich, bold tea that is great with a splash of milk or autumn flavored creamer! I drink oolong all summer because it is light and fruity and is great with a drop of fresh squeezed lemon. We have a great health food store here that has lots of loose leaf teas and all kinds of herbs. I would love to follow your example! Be blessed.❤️

[@moirasoma2863]

@@thechickincharge1073 Oooh, I have read about Yorkshire Gold! They have it in the places I buy loose leaf teas from, but honestly, they have so many, I dont know if ever get around to trying them all. I will buy some YG next time Im buying tea. Thanks for the tip! Ive I just gotten into puh er, which is fermented tea. I had never even heard about it before a couple of months ago. There is so much to learn about tea!

[@MatildaTheBookDragon]

Not many Halloween stuff in Sweden either but more dnd more every year and there are spooky things to buy in "dress up shops " and several different kind of pumpkins in the food stores. Maybe you can order online?

[@moirasoma2863]

@@MatildaTheBookDragon We have pumpkins in the shops, but no pumpkin patches. I wish we had pumpkin patches! I would like a spooky mug or a pumpkin mug at least, but no such thing in all of the land, sadly. Not a pumpkin spice candle, nothing. Everything is just so boring and white and grey and minimalist. The style so many admire about scandinavia is just depressing to me. What is their beef about colours, anyway? Ordering online from other countries has become so expensive and perilous after the plague, I cant do it anymore, Im afraid.

[@MatildaTheBookDragon]

@moirasoma2863 that's really sad! We have to spread colour through our lands 😘 As I only follow cottage core like youtubers and so on I don't see the minimalism and I don't know anyone living that way. In my purple coat I get so many compliments from strangers in winter. Too many have black and grey coats, but obviously people really appreciate colour. I'm planning to order a fox mug for my boyfriends birthday and at the same time one for me! I hope you find something cosy to brighten up your autumn. We have yo bring it ourselves. At least you have gorgeous beautiful nature! I would love to visit Norway some time haven't been since I was a kid.

I’ve just found your channel and am loving all these fall inspired videos to watch 🥰 I’d love to see a bookshelf tour if you could please 😊

I wonder myself if Randy haves a review abou Shady Hollow Mistery series

[@Oursimplelife907]

Your videos are always calming and beautiful. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@sylvain123]

Here in Australia spring has just started. Autumn is my favourite season. I love watching all your autumn themed videos as the weather becomes unbearably hot here. It's a welcome escape. Bless You 🙏💐

[@indigoblue4791]

You capture such a lot of natures beauty in all its glorious colour. Its been nice to reconnect with the channel. Your September video was so reminiscent of your video's I watched when your channel was a little smaller. Enjoy your favourite season, every magical moment. 😊

[@delontereid7584]

This is the most relaxing video I have watched all day. It's tough to not buy the entire Michael's store and decorate 🍄🦃🍂🌰🍁😁. P.S.- I love the fall decorations too 😁

Thank you so much!

[@rosariopaiz6158]

Thank you for showing how to preserve leaves first time I see this way , it was music to my ears , glowing to my face because I love collecting leaves. Thanks again.

For all of the exquisite beauty that you speak into our lives through your artistry!!! I cannot begin to express my appreciation for all of what you do!!!! Would you please share what kind of gouache you took with you on your plein air painting 🖌️🎨📚 trip? Affiliate links are always so helpful and appreciated. 😊 I hope you have had a wonderful trip and have made many lovely memories to last your lifetime 🥰. It's so good to have you back home safely ☺️🙏🙏🙏. Quiet Life 🍁🖌️🎨📚🐇🫖☕🍵

Loved this video, it helped me calm down as I'm having a grumpy day where nothing seems to be going right.

[@Cynthia.B]

Wow!! This was so amazing! You are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place. I think I love absolutely everything about this video. Just a few of my favorites: the wide variety of mushrooms you found; how you were able to preserve the beautiful colors of the autumn leaves with wax; and the Barred Owl - what a wonderful surprise! Also, those unique books you have - what treasures to keep forever. I'm only afraid of some of the placements of the candles, but really, it's such a well-done video. Thank you and Happy Autumn! 😊🍁🦉🍄🧡

[@soniawithani7586]

Beautiful video, thank you for sharing. I adore Kiki’s Delivery Service. Some other fall favorites are: You’ve Got Mail, All That Heaven Allows, Arsenic and Old Lace, Sleepy Hollow, and Practical Magic.

[@JB-pd4ni]

Your art is charming and you make a great video! Spitfire Grill is a movie I watch in autumn. Please share, and ask your viewers to share autumn music favs. I only have two songs; Holy As The Day Is Spent by Carrie Newcomer and The Autumn Leaves (may not be the correct title) by Nat King Cole. There has to be more music about this soul soothing season.

[@sylviabooks2022]

Precioso vídeo del otoño 🍁🍂 Veo que la naturaleza y los libros te encantan. Te voy a recomendar uno precioso: "La Biblioteca en la colina" Alba Donati. Es autobiográfico. Hace poco llegué a tu canal, y aquí me quedo. Gracias por crear, para después compartir. Saludos 👋 🤗 🥰🍁 Barcelona 🌊 🌞 España ❤

[@Kristy463]

Ooh can you please do a video on preserving mushrooms? That would be so interesting!

[@Lillyjoy]

Autumn is my favorite season!! It’s still 100 degrees in Texas but I cannot wait until Autumn gets here. Love your videos as always, and don’t forget to try a hot pumpkin latte or chai latte if you haven’t. That’s one of my favorite things about the season

[@Dougie8]

Here in the UK the weather had changed and we have grey skies, a little rain and lots of wind today. Watching this today felt like a warm hug - thank you for another gorgeous video. One film I am going to add to the autumn watch list this year is Labyrinth - I loved this film as a child and I think the goblin kingdom could be quite fitting for this time of year and of course David Bowie makes for a fantastic goblin king 😊

[@rebeccakelly2651]

Loved this video so much and all your autumn ideas !!!! Especially love it when you have video clips of your barred owl forest friend. I'm so mesmerized by those guys !!! Can't wait to get out and enjoy this beautiful season !!!! 🍁 🍂 🍁 🍃 🍂 🍁 🦉 🦉 🦉 🦉 🦉 🦉 🦉 🦉 🦉

[@user-bh5mj1hf4q]

Very beautiful video. I just bought some pretty fall colored flowers and some Cooke mix.

[@TheMennomilist]

Love the little things you did to your home and the crafts. I love reading books. The dragonfly/damselfly leaf art was really pretty to me! Maybe because they are my favorite insect and I grew up around them (they land on me constantly and I have held them and pet them which amazes my husband). I love how you went looking for mushrooms too. You found so many!!! Wow. Pumpkin picking is so fun for me. One of my favorite autumn movies is probably Donnie Darko. Other nice ones are Fantastic Mr. Fox and The Goonies.

[@cuppajavaplease]

Beautiful videography! A treat.

[@jodisampson4508]

Another great video! Your voice is so calming!

[@cathylampshire1140]

I really like your suggestion of making candles. It seems simple and if you are someone who uses them often it makes sense to have many on hand. Thank you for suggesting books and particularly showing yourself reading one as I saw the title of the book in your hands and realized there was another Shady Hollow book I had not read (Twilight Falls.) So happy to learn that!
