A NEW LEVEL OF QUARANTINE CRAZY!

[@thefreylife]

Peter just kept on going in the pouring rain, and I was like 😱

[@haleyguthrie375]

You guys have been the highlight everyday for at least the past week. Thank you so much for all you do, your positivity really is amazing. Thank you. So much.💜💙♥️

[@thefreylife]

@@haleyguthrie375 I'm so glad we can be a source of encouragement to you during your day! Thanks for letting us be a part of your day :)

[@laceyharrington2806]

Mary you can make croutons as well!

[@rachelcorinnaford9190]

Absolutely wonderful video today guys !! Made me feel a feeling of contentment, in a good way. Loved the peaceful background music too.

[@arizanenathequeen]

Hello Peter and Mary I have a question ... Where did you get the light for your backyard ? I need them in my backyard. I Love hanging out in my backyard. God Bless 🙏

[@LupusPositiveLife]

I can see you all as a married old couple sitting on the porch watching the birds talking about old times ...laughing and smiling 💜🙏🏼

[@hollyosgerby1901]

Mary to Peter: “ You’re really cute”. OMGoodness, my heart just melted into a puddle on the floor 🥰 There is nothing quite like the sound of a knife slicing through a loaf of crusty bread......perfectly heavenly 😇 Totally loved today’s video!! 🤗❤️❤️🙏🏼😘🐕🐱

[@thefreylife]

Holly I'm so glad you enjoyed today's vlog :)

[@autumnleigh95]

You guys are relationship goals but also goals in a personality level too. Yall make me so happy.

[@thefreylife]

Awe you're so sweet Autumn Leigh! Thanks for joining us on our adventure today :)

[@janineschindler2966]

Harry and Ollie are such beautiful pets. Cuddley and loving. Always makes my day to see everyone.

[@joostersplants367]

I’m surprised that you and Mary haven done a vegetable garden in your back garden that would be so beautiful 🌱🌾🥬🥒

[@daphnemiller5910]

Peter, when Mary said "You're really cute," this great-grandmother totally agreed with her.

[@scsymo1]

Your bread baking skills are shining!! It was cute when Harry was trying to find a close spot when you were doing your treatments. Thanks for sharing your day!!!

[@thefreylife]

Awe thanks UpNorthCrafting bread making is definitely a process that I'm still learning 😂

[@maureenseel118]

"It's less...break-your-gums-y!" Amazing. Hope you two are keeping safe.

[@thefreylife]

Thanks Maureen you too!

[@JulieR73]

Dried out bread makes good croutons! Cut it into cubes, and toss in a bit of olive oil. Put them in a skillet and let them get crispy!

[@thefreylife]

Yummm thanks for the suggestion Just Jules!

[@lexiwagner4541]

I crush it up and make breadcrumbs! I use them for.. You know regular bread crumb things but especially for stuffing!

[@mariannenogle6172]

I love that Harry came and sat with Mary. Pure love ❣

[@thefreylife]

Marianne he is the sweetest :) I love it when he joins me during my vest.

[@lisatrapnell2479]

I had my 5th brain surgery a year ago and the last one was a brain tumor. It has left me with seizures and a lot of migraines. You both have been a true blessing for me. God is great all the time. He has blessed me with a wonderful husband of 6 yrs this June and two cats that had to be adopted together. I had 3 miscarriages before I had the tumor and now I can't have any children. I'm so thankful and blessed for everything we have. I love you Mary, Peter, Ollie and Harry. Thank you for letting us be a guest in your home for all these years. Love and God Bless Y'all.

[@TheKeyMargo]

In the south, heavy work is usually done in early mornings or late afternoon. Sun is brutal.

[@lexiwagner4541]

Part of how im dealing with this quarantine is gardening and knowing that if this lasts way into the summer ill at least have my own veggies! You guys could grow your own little herbs and stuff and cook with them

[@karendeakin9628]

Don’t forget lots water on bush don’t rely on rain doesn’t penetrate deep enough

[@thefreylife]

Thanks Karen! :)

[@katherynkennedy5881]

The thing I miss the most after moving into my 55+ mobile home park is gardening. I love to feel the dirt thru my fingers.

[@thefreylife]

Katheryn maybe you could get a couple potted plants? :)

[@daphnemiller5910]

Check out Debrajoy on KZbin.

[@joannmarx4903]

Mary, I love all the same birds as you. It always makes my day to watch these little creators but the bird I love the most is the Hummingbird. They are so much fun to watch. At times when we do yard work they buz by or flap their wings and pause in mid air to see what your up to. So cute! You should look them up on line and see what you think. I love The Frey Life and watch all the time! Take Care!

[@lilolmecj]

We went and got garden dirt yesterday, instead of going in we paid by phone, drove in and got our scoop and headed home. Gardening is such a satisfying activity.

[@bionicprincess8008]

Azaleas are stunning. You do need to fertilize them. You can trim back in the fall so they don’t get so huge. Your yard is beautiful. Such a magical place for you two to enjoy along with Ollie boy 💗. What a blessing to have your own home. You can just see how happy it makes you both. Things have a way of working out for the best 🙏🏻😎 Stay safe and continue to enjoy that NC spring. I live in VA. It is coming very soon 🌷🌞

[@thefreylife]

Thanks G Laurent! & I hope you have a lovely spring in VA :)

[@lizdowning6134]

That lunch looked so lovely. Such a peaceful setting you guys have in your backyard. It looks like a very serene place to spend time.

[@johnsonfamilyvidsvlogs3745]

Love the azalea Bush. We had them all along the front planter when I was a kid in California. We have an azalea festival here in Oklahoma. Glad you got a lot of the dirt moved before the rain washed it away. Mary, great bread making. 🙏🏻🙏🏾🙏🏼Prayers for you to feel better, Lynda

[@lindas4004]

Loving the 'What can I make to eat with what we have? scenes.... think we are all in the same boat and it's nice to be inspired by others xxx

[@sunny4jenny]

Quarantine or no quarantine, deliveries of dirt, pete humus, compost, etc. always makes me so excited

[@jewelhaines8842]

Mary and her bread adventures!! So cute!! The Azalea bush is beautiful!! Have a blessed Quarantine day guys! ❤ I love Doughy 🍞 bread!!

[@e.nicole9549]

We love azaleas! Don’t be Discouraged if the flowers fall off and do not bloom again for a year sometimes when you transplant them they work on their routes before blooming again they will eventually rebloom if that happens

[@thefreylife]

E. Nicole thanks for sharing that helpful info! :)

[@lilolmecj]

Yes! Listen to the bread! Put a pan of water in the oven...try to cook around 375, use a instant oven thermometer, cook to 205.

[@lynnrose7562]

The azalea bush is very pretty. Mary, your bread looks so good. I can almost smell it. LOL

[@geraldinebayliss1154]

That bread looks and sounds good. Saw a channel with no knead crusty rolls. Got my mug today. Can’t wait for my coffee tomorrow. Love and hugs to you all Geraldine xxxx

[@thefreylife]

Those sound good! & so glad you got it Geraldine! :)

[@virginiagrenier8572]

We had some excitement today. Hahaha. Subaru came and picked up my vehicle. They offered free towing to bring it in for a recall repair and with the quarantine I took them up on the offer. Otherwise I would have had to drive 86 miles and then wait for 2 1/2 hours while they worked on it. This way is much better. I will be without my vehicle for 3 days which is no big deal, wasn't going anywhere with the quarantine going on and all anyway.

[@thefreylife]

Virginia that's perfect timing!

[@cbush3569]

Oh wow, Mary you're really getting good at this bread thing! Gives me inspiration! With all this leftover cooking you need to come up with a pandemic cookbook! Fun to use what you have.

[@gloribyrd9259]

I watch your videos while doing nebulizer treatments. Your bread looks yummy! Wish I could have some but my tummy wouldn't be very happy afterwards. I can't have gluten. :( Sometimes I watch your channel again before falling asleep to relax from all the CV craziness. Got my hubby hooked too. Lol. Hubby and I grabbed our umbrellas today and went for a walk. We would have been happy to cover Peter with our umbrellas. 🤣💖 Keep posting and I'll keep watching. Blessings to you both as well as to Ollie and Harry.

[@xdronxdronx]

Glori Byrd I watch their channel to relax too. I’m so thankful for youtube during this season.

[@penelopepolinsneemeyer4757]

Wow! That was real dedication, Peter! This evening, Martin and I completed koshering the kitchen and washed all the hard floors, ready for Martin to steam mop the ground floor tomorrow while I prepare for the Seder tomorrow evening and bake #Passover cakes. Keep safe and well guys xxxxxxxx

[@whatsupwithlori6396]

I got the biggest chuckle out of Mary separating the frozen veggies only to report it wasn’t worth it. Thank you, I needed that.

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

You can also make croutons. Paste with a mix of olive oil, garlic and maybe some dried parsley. Cut the bread up into 1” cubes put on a cookie sheet and turn the oven on low, about 200-250 degrees until they’re crunchy. Turn over about halfway through the bake and you’ll have croutons for your salads!

[@lisablondell2349]

Maybe the next time you’re in Maryland I can have you come dig up my azalea bushes! We have quite a few that we’re planning to get rid of also. 😂

[@benjaminfreyman4273]

You can cube up your old bread too. And saute it in garlicy butter for soups . 👍 Hope you can grow some fun food like long beans or tomatoes in that big yard.

[@allosch9]

He's so cute running with the wheelbarrow in the rain! Lol

[@SnowySpiritRuby]

Yes! I'm not the only one where really chewy crusts scratch my mouth - crust for me has to be soft, otherwise it hurts to eat.

[@robjames623]

Hi Mary that bread looks delicious I could just eat a slice with some butter on it yummy. 🍞

[@suethomas6719]

Yeah, it was missing the butter! But then, with fruit as Peter was doing, no grease needed.

[@vitex333]

You four are so full of Love!!! It’s so awesome 👏🏻 You guys always make me smile 😊 Many thanks and G-d Bless 🙏🏻💜💜💜

[@herpderpjoni]

"listen to the bread. see what it wants"

[@albertglass2594]

Mary it is good to see you cook you can cook anything. This video reminds me of God walking with Adam and Eve in the cool of the evening.

[@wendy-8560]

Mary, your getting better and better at making bread! awesome! Peter, I'm so proud of you for not giving up on the dirt. You both are so inspiring! I love your videos and look forward to them everyday. I'm a little behind on them though. I've been to sick and weak to do anything, but feeling better with each passing minute.

[@fralinsandfriends]

My husbands periodically fills in dips and holes in the yard. They tend to reappear after rains but eventually they do fill up completely with soil and it's great that he can do that. Your yard is going to look great. 😀👋💗👍

[@BNHAalltheway]

The bush You guys got is so pretty the yard's going to look nice when Your done Peter You're getting good at Msking breab Mary love Ollie with his doggie God Bless

[@thefreylife]

Thanks Paula! We're so excited about the new bush :)

[@lakeside4485]

Excited about watching your backyard change! I just love your deck. So nice.

[@denisejones7780]

I often wonder if the old owners like to watch and see the changes Peter and Mary are making to the home.

[@thefreylife]

Thanks Lakeside! :)

[@alchemerchrome5263]

you will want to trim the bush back after it finishes blooming, if they are left to grow wild they will get spindly and then get very large

[@fennekin0023]

The backyard is so relaxing!!💜

[@margueritemunoz3265]

Like that old saying “One mans trash is another mans Treasure” What a Beautiful plant.

[@susanharris1285]

Good job Peter it's gonna look great when your done!! Mary I hope you feel better get your strength back hi Ollie and Harry love and prayers always

[@thefreylife]

Thanks Susan!

[@mustwereallydothis]

Good a big load of quality soil is always worth getting excited about.

[@marn9739]

Harry and Ollie are so loving 💕

[@kathyk3792]

You are such a lovely couple. You also encourage others to be positive.

[@emmytato3964]

You guys are so adorable 🥺❤️ bless you guys you deserve each other !

[@jaroufa1]

Mary your bread looks so yummy. I would eat a big slice with butter in the morning and dunk it in my coffee.It's my favorite breakfast.

[@thefreylife]

Thanks jaroufa1! :)

[@amandapunaro6891]

When you make sourdough that's what you want! It has a nice crumb to it! It for actually be a bit more dough-y in the center, not much but A BIT! Looks perfect to me!!!

[@Tiffythompson17]

That's a beautiful azalea....welcome to southern plants. 🌷💞

[@thefreylife]

Thanks Tiffany! We love it!!

[@virginiagrenier8572]

Oh Mary, you had me cracking up. I'm "watching" KZbin videos while I'm sewing (face masks). So, really I'm mostly listening. You're telling how you made some food and one of the sets was "I hit myself in the face." Took a moment for that to register in my brain. Did she really say what I thought she said? Had to go back in the video and TRULY watch it. Hahaha! Virginia northern Minnesota

[@thefreylife]

😂😂😂

[@thefreylife]

Also that's so great you're sewing face masks!

[@lisaemason]

Azaleas are the beauty of Southern spring, but they won't bloom if the soil isn't acid enough. It's easy to make them happy. Just mulch them generously with pine straw in the fall.

[@TheAllenroni]

Wow, what a find & for free!! Azalea's are beautiful!....Beautiful bread too Mary! You're such an awesome wife even through your illness you take wonderful care of those you love. ...Stay safe guys! God Bless!!

[@thefreylife]

Thanks Lisa!

[@keyshabeam2781]

You guys have the cutest little family ❤️ I love Harry and Ollie both so much, they are just the cutest. (I absolutely love your cat, he's adorable 💙). I enjoy watching the Fry Life you guys are amazing! God bless 🙏❤️

[@TigerLily0384]

I love y’all. Fellow North Carolinian here. Just moved from Raleigh to Lillington, NC ❤️

[@chester1236]

You guys are great..such an inspiration...love you guys!

[@thefreylife]

Thanks Chester 123!

[@Dannibec55]

Hey Mary and Peter can we have an updated house tour as I’m sure things have changed now you have been in the new house a while! Love you guys and your fur babies,Thanks and God bless! Xx

[@marie-evelemay9468]

You two are truly two beautiful human beings! Hi form French Québec, Canada!

[@Meshellwisconsin]

Enjoy the heat Peter. Wisconsin has snow this week which makes isolation soooooo much worse and way more mentally draining. Idk how I'm going to get through this. Prayers would be appreciated I'm really struggling

[@lexiwagner4541]

You should press a few of your pretty flowers in a book! I make resin jewelry from them but its also really cool just for scrapbooking or a keepsake

[@monamorgan8614]

Yes azaleas are prominent in the southern states. Have Mary read up on them and the special ways to make them even prettier and healthy 👍🏻 our city in East Texas has annual Azalea Trails where thousands tourists invade our city lol, Mary would love it. Look up Tyler, Texas Azalea Trails they should have pictures.💖 Peter with all the shade out back you’ll need to buy specific shade living grass, 👍🏻

[@itsjustme7169]

Stick a thermometer in your bread. You want internal temp no lower the 190 and can go as high as 230 (i believe) to prevent doughy. Also practice and personal preference and environment (i.e. humidity and temps) is true judge of done ness. I like around 200*

[@thefreylife]

Thanks for the tips It's Just Me! :)

[@theorganizedbudgeter1655]

If you use a probe thermometer on your bread that helps to ensure it is done. When bread feels wet still it usually just isn't done enough. Bread should temp at 190 degrees inside. Keep after it. Bread making is so much fun.

[@Asincitygirl]

An easier way to make bread crumbs is to cut it in chunks and pulse them in the blender. One good thing about having a naked cat is no left over fur when he sleeps in things. I have a cupboard with towels in it that i never use because the cat sleeps on them and I would have to wash them every time.

[@peacegalz11]

I guess I never considered that maybe y’all hadn’t seen Azalea bushes before cause they’re super common in the upper south! It’s touching to see y’all have one though and be so excited!

[@Butterfly68-g7j]

Peter, trim your Azalea in Autumn or early winter, they flower really good the next season.

[@thefreylife]

Vivienne thanks for the tip!

[@goldenhours6209]

The look on Ollie’s face was priceless 😍

[@jomickelsen5141]

You both are the cutest couple I've ever seen. Maybe a few older couples in their 80s and 90s ive witnessed some that love made them as one. Im in my 50s and was a CNA for 30 years(homehealth and hospice), married 36 years to a loving Christian man. You both are a breath of fresh air. ❤ love you videos

[@sharimassengill28]

Azaleas love acid. Pine mulch is a great way to keep yours healthy and happy.

[@thefreylife]

Thanks for the tip Shari!

[@eej1983able]

The yard looks great!

[@thefreylife]

Thanks Erin! :)

[@cbush3569]

Go Peter! Love your tenacity!

[@melissa-Ann]

💙 you guys have such a BIG backyard. Wow!! Have you've considered maybe putting in a pool?

[@colormezebra2841]

That freshly moved azelea needs water, water, water. Also, build up a ring of dirt around the outside of it's root ball so that the water stays at the roots and doesn't run off and away. Don't be surprised if it goes into shock. Maybe a bit of fertilizer would help too, it looks like it hasn't had any for years (it's sparse). That way it will fill in thick.

[@connimace258]

Harry seemed like he wanted to curl up in vest. Nice he watches over you like your cute good boy Ollie.

[@marilan8154]

Guess what guys...you two are now bonified, certified, official Southerners!!! When you have an azalea in your yard that is actually blooming, yaass sir, you be a Southerner. Congratulations and welcome to the family!

[@thefreylife]

Haha awe thanks Marí Lan! :)

[@Dreamer5211]

Hi Guys , The back yard is looking great !! , the bread is looking really great !! , thanks for the update , take care, Gary 

[@thefreylife]

Thanks Gary! :)

[@teresaharbin5557]

Don't let Ollie near the azalea bush. Our dog licked a bloom once and almost died. The bushes are really toxic, but so beautiful. We ended pulling up all 25 0f ours.

[@marthajanethvidea-vega1532]

I absolutely love watching your videos.

[@katieashby6243]

I love azaleas! They’re so pretty and so low maintenance!

[@thefreylife]

Katie I'm so excited to have one! They're so pretty!

[@Joyce-dd3fm]

Hi Mary and Peter. Beautiful bush! Delicious lunch!

[@thefreylife]

Thanks Joyce! :)

[@gracedaniels9001]

My family and I have several bushes at the end of season pick of the dead flowers it will help it next season and the flowers will come back stronger and beautiful

[@JFly87]

Mary I absolutely love your cooking videos

[@thefreylife]

Thanks linda! I'm so glad you like them! :)

[@KirstyM100]

Love the asmr of Mary cutting the bread

[@Ladybassguitarplayer]

Bread ASMR :) Thanks for sharing your lives with us.

[@Benjamin-xv2if]

Good job on the bread Mary! Try letting the bread rise a little more and that could help if you want it less dense

[@vjm1639]

Also, you can make great croutons with the leftover bread! I love watching you two (4.)

[@greyitsraining]

"It's beautiful. And so it that pile of dirt." 😂😂😂

[@sarahsiskin6780]

Backyard is coming along!

[@alex1850]

Mary, adding steam when you first put bread in oven will help it rise.

[@callyflower]

I think you need to work the dough longer...like 10 minutes of kneading. Make a smooth elastic dough. No stickiness! Let it rise longer and bake longer to reduce gumminess. You are *this* close to making an amazing load of bread. Once you get the feel, you are gold.

[@dinahakim7114]

Good morning or this case would be good afternoon for us in California hope y’all staying safe

[@sicknote4557]

Dina Hakim or a night (10:30pm) here in England. Hope i keeping well and staying safe over there. 💙💪🏻💜
