Autumn Porch cleaning/ Silver Spoon Plant Markers/ New Puppy!

[@TheFarmSparrow]

Delighted to meet Viola Jeri 🥰…that porch 🙌🏻, I certainly do not blame anyone or anything who just wants to hang out there. It was interesting to hear about your plans and how many of them played out in the end. You are so full of life and creativity. Thank you for showing us how to make those beautiful plant markers. Have a wonderful week sweet sister.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

It's been such a long time since I made markers, I messed up a few of the spoons. Oh well.

[@theresamcnary1936]

Viola is beautiful! Her pal looked as sorry as the rest of us when the rooster got her. Lesson learned...lol

[@r.j.2546]

I love it when you show us your animal family. Love your new puppy Viola. She's beautiful.

[@life-mm5do]

I love the porch! It looks so peaceful and relaxing. Im looking forward to the fall colors.Have a wonderful blessed day!

[@newfoundland3238]

Love puppy!Also spoon idea is great,... love upcycling so charming!Anymore crafty ideas? I have a feeling chickens will be quickly avoided in the future.🐕❤🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

At least the Rooster will be avoided!

Hello Jeri! Love the video’s Puppy Love 💗 Chickens & Ducks, Donkeys Enjoy seeing them All. God Bless you & Hubbie 🙏🏽

[@tenaguin1054]

Thank you for the tour of your special place. I love all the repurposing I saw. You’re such a treasure.

[@cindydunn3036]

Sweet puppy 🥰 Jeri, you were blessed not only with ideas, but also the ability to create. I admire both.

[@pamsweetin2310]

Another wonderful visit with you this morning while I enjoy coffee at the creek❤️ Thank you!

[@LindaParra-kr4kl]

Sweet puppy!

[@careyhenderson3189]

Awwwe thank you so much for sharing your notebooks Jeri. I’m so happy to know it hasn’t been a waste of time for me to have kept mine also. It is a joy for me to look back and know that it is perfectly okay that some things never came to fruition. I’m okay with that!!!❤

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Never a waste of time to keep those old papers and books. The notebooks were pretty messy sketch-wise, not my usual persnickity drawing style, but I think most ppl appreciate sketches drawn on the spur of the moment, so I shared them as is.

[@dianeknott3655]

Thanks, Jeri. I got some giggles about the ducks and chickens on the porch...and the turkey story...and the rooster run-in. Never at dull moment at Jeri's house and garden. 😄❤🐕🐓🦃🐔 Enjoy the waning days of summer. 🍅🌽

[@gangoffour1]

I’m so glad I’m not the only one pooped out on summer gardening! After watching this I need to go clean the porch!

We all need a break, I could never be a professional gardener.

Adorable as usual. Did you say Tower of Pizza? lol My kind of tower. ☺❤💚💛💜

LOL! Mispoke I meant the Tower of PISA

[@patriciacinea3097]

I need to get a book to write my hopes and dreams for my property, too! Husband building a dog fence now and will put whimsical birdhouses and decor on the posts and will think of you, Jeri, for this great idea. Glad Godfrey has a new playmate. He looks happy.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

They make such wonderful notebooks now, it's easy to end up with dozens of idea books on the shelf.

[@BL-sy7fx]

Jeri, you have the most beautiful hands I've ever seen! I do hope that your notebooks will someday be archived at the nearest University special collections.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

MY hands?! Now that is a comment I never thought I would see! lol!

[@shayb1701]

Thank you so much for the silver plated spoon idea. I have looked so long through the years for plant markers that don't ruin from the weather. Viola is just so adorable. I want to give her a hug

They Do tarnish, so you'll have to keep up on them once a year.

[@christyjohnson6967]

I know just what you mean,Jeri. By this time of the year the gardening season comes to an end just when we need it to. Giving us ample time to reflect and plan next year’s! Enjoy your rest. Though I’m sure you’re never really resting. 😀

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

I could never be a gardener by profession, I love the long winter break.

[@rosemarybushea3447]

Love the new puppy and the plant marker project, too! Idea books and garden journals are such fun to look back on, to see what worked and what plans actually came to fruition.

[@clarefoskett9959]

Oh, Viola, enjoy your time with Godfrey 😊😊😊😊😊

[@InFltSvc]

Hi Jeri, I can’t wait to see you get honey from the bees! My father raised them and as a kid it was magical to see the honey come out like liquid gold and the very best for me, even today, is a big square of the honeycomb, I LOVE to eat the honey like that, to me, it’s natures candy and I enjoy to use it in coffee and tea as well. That’s sort of funny about the attack Turkeys 😊. That castle like addition was a good idea for the house. Wow! I love the plant marker spoons, what a great idea as well as a garden gift. the snowball puppy is cute! Thanks for making another great video ….. Cheers! Brian

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Well, I HOPE to get my bees in the Spring, not sure what success I will have getting actual honey!

[@InFltSvc]

@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollowwith all those flowers I am certain you will ! Some people purchase a queen to get them started but from the looks of the layout of you property you will have a good chance with it all starting natural. The best place for the hives is right on the edge of a forest or where lots of growth is.

[@dwinn7109]

I love those dogs..we lost both of ours within a year. Our male weighed 150 and was part akbash and pyrenees. He was definitely a gentle giant. Loved everyone and nothing touched our chickens, ducks, or geese. He scared many a person by his bark and his size. I miss them both so much.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

I understand that. Our oldest male Pyrenees is now 12. and we don't think he will be with us for much longer.

[@ninaoaster8039]

Congrats on being a puppy mother!

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

It's quite a job, but she is so adorable.

[@tammyhoushour8070]

Lol so cute little puppy having a lesson about chickens and the other dog acted concerned.😊

[@lindylou3519]

Wonderful to see another video Jeri. How I enjoy it so.❤ Sounds like we’ve been on the same page lately as far as our feelings of the joy of gardening yet glad to see summer come to an end. Gardening is a lot of work & with this year’s extreme heat & dry weather, it was not as enjoyable as in previous years for many of us here in middle GA. So Come on Fall!🍁 With the heat outdoors, I’ve been putting my energy into cleaning out closets in the last week & just got started cleaning out & organizing the garage…(until about noon when the temps rise.) What a great feeling to get rid of things we’ve accumulated in excess or haven’t used or needed in years. Now I don’t dread opening up a closet & there is organization in the garage…still working on it, though.) In order to do a good job, I had to think “If I were to move, exactly what do I need?” That sure worked. Next I’ll be waterproofing my front porch as you do every year & then I’ll decorate for Fall. Congrats on your new puppy. (Now that is one thing we don’t have in common…animals. I don’t want anymore pets after losing our two dogs the last 2 years. All our relatives & kids live out of state & now we have the freedom to come & go when we please. Nice feeling😊 Your GA gardening friend

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Last year I took piles of STUFF to the Goodwill with exactly your sentiment in mind, it was nice to have a thinned out closet and drawers. Fortunately, we no longer have to travel, (after years of shows) so having all the animals is much easier; I don't have to hire a pet sitter anymore./

[@pamcox8582]

Thanks for sharing the method of stamping the spoon plant markers. I always wondered how that worked and what the "stamps" looked like. Glad to know I am not alone in sketching ideas that don't often make it off the page.

[@clarefoskett9959]

Those naughty turkeys, going for you. I'm glad they ran off into the woods.😊

[@michellekuhn4927]

Jeri, I love your porch and glad to hear that you need a break like I feel. I love gardening, but need a rest. God must have known this! I just had a pergola built and cant wait to secide how to decorate it. Its great to hear and see your plans and hear you may build the studio. "Build it and they will come, at least I will"!! I have so many thoughts for our property. I am learning how to make hand slab pottery and inlay the clay using herbs, leaves, etc., from the mountain!! I would love a studio one day. I dont write my plans down, but just may start. I love the new puppy! Keep sharing your world to us! Have you views increased from your earlier concers? Happy Labor Day!

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Your Pergola sounds great, we love ours. Hand slab pottery is something I am not familiar with... Views have been up and down along with subscriber count. I think YT is purging closed accounts and bots and that's why the subscriber numbers have dropped.

[@michellekuhn4927]

Thanks for responding. Slab pottery, is basically pottery made without the use of a potters wheel. I look forward to seeing next weeks video 😊

[@angeladyson7367]

Awww Viola's so cute 🥰 I love the spoon plant label idea. What a cosy porch indeed. I can just imagine perching on the chair, sipping a cup of tea and relaxing or drawing. 😊

[@graceinthegarden9151]

What a delightful little girl. So beautiful. I have been moving plants around that have struggled in their past location. I also purchased a few clearance plants/shrubs to add autumnal color. Today, I cleaned the porch and rearranged it to put my table and chairs back out. The weather is finally cool enough to enjoy being outside again. God bless.

What fun it was looking at all of your collections and sweet things in the porch!!! I love looking at everything. What a sweet cozy place. I also loved looking at your notebooks!!! I just love your videos. I made a bunch of spoon herb markers years ago. I still have some of them, but sold most of them in the shop. I like the fact the words don’t wear off and they stay put…unlike the plastic markers. What a precious baby…Viola!!! I love her!! I have a feeling she had already won your heart ♥️ Thanks for such a lovely video 🌻

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Hey Debbie, I remember paying about $5 for the spoon markers in a garden shop 15 yrs ago. My talk about having a shop makes me think of your wonderful store... . Of course, mine would be quite small

Oh my! That dragonfly hanger at 4:41 was a bit of a surprise. I just bought two of them at a yard sale last week for .25 each. Was originally planning to use them in my daughter's room, but they may find a home in the garden now Garden journals are treasure troves. I spend my winters looking over mine and creating new sketches and ideas for the future. Now to find that old silver plate. I last used it to make a windchime for my mom.

You could sell the rabbit fence and spoons I think. I made just 2 similar rabbit pickets for a fence to replicate yours and it was tedious and I stopped but I love your rabbit fences. I enjoy best your walk arounds, even on the porch. So many treasures. September is my favorite month when the humidity clears, the sun lowers and shines across the meadow grasses, and harvesting seeds.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

I can't remember how many pickets I cut for the fences, but it was over 200!

Everything is so lovely. All the flowers are so beautiful! Your porch looks like a wonderful place to spend time. I wish I was better at keeping notebooks and journals. I've started many but then get sidetracked so they're still mostly empty. I never had much talent at drawing either. I'm more of a copy cat, and love to watch what others do. So, regarding your shop, one thought might be to create an area where you can give lessons, and perhaps sell prepared kits which might include some of your art work. Drawing or painting lessons, craft projects, gardening lessons, or just do demonstrations, or perhaps book readings with afternoon tea. You could perhaps plan the events well in advance so people could travel there, and have very limited groups of 4 or 6 or 8 who could come by reservation at very specific times. And perhaps hire a videographer to video the events so you could share them with us online!! Just a thought. I do enjoy all that you share with us already. Thank so very much for all you do! And yes, the puppy is so precious! I know you're going to enjoy being a puppy mama again.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

When we built our HUGE barn, 1/3 of it was meant to be my shop/ gallery. I had planned to conduct workshops for many different crafts: Papercutting, Fiber and even creating books. That is still a strong possibility since we no longer travel to shows. It is a spacious barn, perfect for a large table and display shelves. The donkeys only take up 1/3 of the space. Of course, I would need to CLEAN it, lay a real floor and put up walls. Maybe this winter.
