Check out the 18th century tool I got to light candles on a day I got lost exploring New England?

[@marlenewaraksa8756]

When you have a stressed day or moment please take a breath and think of all the joy you give to us your loyal loving friends thankyou

[@Foxlairmktg]

What a lovely way to spend a day - touring, exploring, walking, gardening, cooking and just enjoying a midsummer day! A treat to watch!

[@carolb9234]

Instead of using water to put out the flame on the spill, get a small candle size container, fill it with sand and douse the flame that way. You could also store all of the spills in there for future use.

[@newenglandfineliving]

Love that idea since it can be used again soon after if desired and not wet! thanks!

[@GiovannaSessantaSei]

This was the first time I’d ever heard of/seen a spill used - thanks, Linda. I will look more closely for them in future visits to historic houses here in CT. And, Carol, the sand for extinguishing is so logical! A little wall salt box could hold the sand 🤔, and a candle box could hold the spills. Or, as you suggest, one could have a spill “bouquet” in the container of sand.

[@WeezyWeez1984]

Thank you for this video, I love tagging along with you on your little adventures. I am so happy to hear that beautiful Willow is doing so good, You and your husband have been so wonderfully caring with her. ❤🙌

[@carolb9234]

​@@newenglandfinelivingwe have candles at church that people can light. We have wax wicks to light the candle and a bowl of sand to extinguish the flame. So I can't take complete credit for the idea 😊.

[@barbaralinder2639]

Thank you for sharing your life, we all have stress but I find relaxation watching your videos. 😊

[@Naicocarol]

Dear Linda, you live in such a beautiful place. I visited the USA for the first time when I was nine years old, and one thing that catch my attention was the beautiful homes and the trees along the road. As I get older, I appreciate even more this kind of videos, because they are full of culture and have absolutely a good vibe. Have a nice week.

[@susanthompson569]

Really lovely....just lovely. Thank you Linda.

[@tammyhoushour8070]

So sweet...only a woman can understand buying sunflowers when you jave sunflowers in your own garden so you don't take them from your birds and bees....i totally get it ...kindred spirit indeed 😊❤

[@imlistening1949]

Thank you for the lovely outing. Metal "headstones" fascinating, nice the cemetery was so well taken care of.

[@ginnylangpap4170]

What a lovely way to spend a day - we all need time on our own, just to marvel at nature as you have. And the music was a perfect accompaniment. I live so far away (Victoria., B.C.), but share your enthusiasm for the awesome East Coast. Thank you for taking us along, Linda. Stronger every day, Willow.

[@margarethess6583]

I love the backroads! What a dear roadside stand! I bet those flowers will dry out on a screen in the sun. Glad Willow is doing better!

[@lianeabeyta4515]

You should make little bundles of those spills ,and homemade candles for holiday gifts! What a lucky recipient that would be. That drive and visit to the cemetery was awesome. I have never seen cast iron headstones. Beautiful. And that tranquil stream. Ahhhhhhhhh, what a way to spend an afternoon. Love the rain footage, the sound of the waterfall, the dragon flys and birdsong. Such peace... you are blessed.

[@maryobrien4244]

Nothing like the beauty of high summer! Now you can have fun shopping for spill vases. They pop up in antique shops, and there are some on line too.

[@LFetterman7903]

Yay! Precious Willow is recovering! I am so relieved! ❣️

[@annanorth7997]

We live in Western NC, the cemeteries in the mountains are beautiful. We've actually picnicked in a cemetery because it's quiet and peaceful. I love it when you share your gorgeous New England. It's breathtaking. ❤

[@debbiepochy6751]

What a lovely excursion! New Hampshire is so beautiful. So happy Willow is improving. Have a wonderful week. ❤

[@annemariedelaney5295]

Linda, Thank you for sharing and enjoyed your information about a Spill Plane. Interesting ride today to the Cemetery and Historic home. Love hearing the sound of water and hearing the sounds from birds in your yard. Willow 🐕 update is so appreciated 👍 Blessings ☮ and always thankful.

[@Joan-k6f]

Thank you Linda for such a wonderful relaxing trip..Very peaceful and the the spill information.. Hope Willow is recovering well..She is such a girl..I have to say that I always enjoy our road travels..So knowledgeable..The gardening and flowers.. Until next time..

[@arleneg1271]

Linda I first saw Spills in a David Suchet's portrayal of Agatha Christie's Poirot. In fact a clue had been left among the spills. BTW, the spills were in a pretty vase on the mantle of a fireplace in a bedroom. I am enjoying your little trips around New England...so nice to follow along online.

[@GiovannaSessantaSei]

Good morning! I so enjoyed the video itself (especially learning about spills, the traipse through the old cemetery, and the glimpse of Willow as she recovers), but I always look forward to reading the comments Kindred Spirits, as well - such a lovely community that you have created, Linda!

[@barbaracarlson1331]

The sounds at the end of the video are so peaceful!

[@debbulgrin589]

Oh I am so intrigued by the spill plane. How cool is that. And yeah for Willow! so glad she is on the mend. That rainshower looked so peaceful, until it wasnt. But i am glad all you lost was some bachelor buttons. Such a wonderful video. Loved the little tour you took accidentally. i love that!

[@christileach4644]

What a lovely video - thank you for taking us along! ❤ xo

[@jkniederberger5390]

I have never heard a Wood Thrush. How beautiful!!

[@dottiebaker6623]

I've always loved "getting lost" on back country roads. And I've never heard of spill planes before - thanks!

[@IreneJones-cl8qr]

What a beautiful video to enjoy to start my day! You provide such interesting content. The headstones made of metal are brilliant, avoids the damage vandals can do to stone headstones. And Queen Ann’s lace can also be coloured which is fun for young ones to understand the uptake of water.

[@arlenecal]

Thank you for the adventure and the history behind it.

[@concettaalcorn686]

Thank you for taking us along 😊

[@maryohare4141]

You could make little bundles of lavendar and put it in a oblong basket withbundles of the firestarter curled wooden sticks...add some pine cones, dried colorful fall leaves, acorns etc. You would have a lovely table display and the lavendar would be a pleasing scent to burn in a fireplace.

[@TheRayjane]

Great idea !

[@JudyCoggins]

I was very excited to see the spills! I have several antique spill vases and I’d love to have spills to put in them. I never knew they actually made them out of wood. I read they used twisted paper and kept them in the spill vases on the mantle. Thanks for the fascinating history. Love your videos. ❤

[@jeanjones7486]

You are welcome! I'm glad I found you in your last house! I e been watching a while.

[@janetgreenler7602]

Thank you for taking us along!

[@DolaresRucquoy]

Thank you for sharing a good Sunday morning 😊

[@robertdunbar2434]

Linds, thank you for this great video. You set the tone by saying, "A no plans adventure for getting lost," I just loved watching this. Your tours of the beautiful New England villages and historic homes are " right up my alley" I search youtube for similar videos but yours are the best. You mastered cinematography and filming with music selections with your "part-of- the-subject" view point making your audience feel part of your experience. Kudos to you. Searching for my family history and old cemeteries is also one of my hobbies. I remember visiting family in Amherst, NH, and coming across an 18th + 19th cenetery seeing that someone left fresh flowers on a grave. How touching to see that someone traced an ancestor and wanted to show respect. Looking forward to next week's adventure. God bless your " kindred spirit ". Robert

[@KrisOttawaIl]

Linda, another thought regarding the dragonflies…..! We vacation in Minnesota and when there is a new “hatch” of mosquitoes, the dragonflies appear.😊 We cheer them on from inside the screened porch, haha. I always say that Minnesota mosquitoes are as big as hummingbirds!! Thank you for the lovely drive, our daughter and family lived in Stow, Ma for 8 years. We would take many rambling drives, just as you did! I so enjoy having the opportunity to “ride” with you.❤ Thank you for the reminder to slow down and enjoy this beautiful world. A kindred spirit from the corn belt in Illinois❤❤

[@gina5827]

What a lovely outing. The scenery is beautiful. It makes me want to do the same. 😊

[@terriespock5384]

Loved this video. Thank you for taking us along. I was in Maine two weeks ago visiting my son and daughter in law, I couldn’t believe all the dragon flies and humming birds. It was so calming and peaceful. Have a great week Linda, see you next Sunday.

[@kristinhenderson2269]

I love your sense of adventure and your interest in local history! Inspiring 😊

[@christinecook377]

What a relaxing video. The creek looked so refreshing and serene. Glad to hear Willow is doing better, may she be “top notch” soon. Love seeing the dragonflies. I often think that is where folks of old got the idea of fairies. Magical! See you next time!

[@marieschmidt9416]

Willow, feel better quick!

[@lynseysrecycledbliss1111]

That was a lovely adventure ❤

[@jean2927]

Loved the history tour Linda, glad Willow is doing ok, great video…☺️

[@Annette818]

I love old cemeteries! I was in death care before retired. I also love dragonflies!

[@patcutler2823]

Love this video very relaxing I laughed when you wrote you got lost I asked my husband if he was related to you I told him love going into old. Cemeteries so much history when we were in Charleston with my brother and his wife my brother and I went into one at that time he was a history teacher learned a lot just by dates see you next week kindred friend

[@barbarasimmons7637]

I anyways enjoy exploring with you! My dad loved to visit old cemeteries when he visited my sister in Maine. Out here(Washington State) we have very interesting native cemetaries. The graves are marked with symbols of their traditions such as eagles, orcas, and ravens.

[@annecarrick8168]

Yippee Linda and her lovely video. I would give my right arm yo live whete you do Linda. Do hope Willow is doing well. Love from Ireland. 😊

[@sandrajohnstone5813]

Love seeing your countryside. So different to where I live in Sth New South Wales Australia...wouldn't it be great if we could all send to you a photo that depicts our area, you could feature them from time to time.

[@donnaarsenault5760]

Love the video..thanks you so much..so relaxing watching it…All the best to Willow..

[@karenbrewer5864]

I’ve never seen a spill planer before. That’s interesting. The metal headstones were unique. I’m sure you know about the site Find a Grave. I discovered it while working on ancestry. The covered bridge is so pretty but I couldn’t help but think of the movie Funny Farm with Chevy Chase when the moving truck is coming through the bridge. 😂

[@victoriasicilian4573]

What a lovely day! Franklyn Pierce and "Horatio Haskell" are of the same era. They are both wearing the same style tie. Maybe Linda already knew that, but I thought I would share. Best to everyone,, Have a good week.

[@jeanjones7486]

What a great find and I would have loved to seen pictures if they would have let you take them

Earlier this Summer,I had Dragonflies by the dozens in my garden.Where ever I was,there one was perched,next to my hand,head. Ect. I almost felt ,as if it was a omen,or sign of some kind. Looked up,the meaning of seeing Dragonflies: Transformation or change coming ! Growth through transformation,mentally,spiritually living for today. Thank you,for another very calming relaxing,educational video Linda.❤

[@TheRayjane]

Thank you for that information on dragon flies. Very interesting

This was such an interesting episode. Love learning something new. I loved the covered bridge, too. Old cemeteries are really interesting. So relaxing, thank you🥰

What a great video to enjoy with a cup of coffee on a Sunday morning! Makes me want to get out and explore my area more. Thank you, Linda!

[@murphysusan1917]

I enjoy the tours you take us on of New England homes and countryside and such a beautiful place to live. Your home is so lovely. Can you share where you purchased your black dining room chandelier? I’ve been looking for a new one. Thanks!

[@ashkap13]

I love watching your videos! My husband and I almost moved to New England from Virginia but life had other plans and we ended up in Maryland. Watching your videos gives me such a nice dose of everything I love about New England. How do you keep deer from eating your beautiful garden?

[@americanresolutionist7272]

The music you used in this video at 8:05 reminds me of the music used in The Good Witch series and movies on Hallmark

[@patriciahartnett4776]

Linda, I swear we’re related we share a lot of similar family names as well as going to graveyards, decorating and old homes. Just an FYI I learned that the Sexton at many graveyards will also take photos for you. When our children were little, we take Queen Anne’s lace and put food coloring into the water and the beautiful queen Anne would change colors. Love your channel.

[@leslikuyweski4576]

14:50 What a wonderful video! I will always take the backroads over a highway! I have a passion for historical homes. I've been to a few but there are so many more to see! The spill tool is so interesting. I'll have to look into buying one as I always have a candle or two burning.

[@ninajohnson6578]

Linda this video was so lovely❤

[@glgardener4972]

That rain looked wonderful-bet it smelled fabulous also. We put glass in our screened porch so we would not get damage from the rain. The windows are the awning type that open and let in lots of fresh air and delightful fragrance from the flower beds. I like going thru old cemeteries also.

[@mikeevans3607]

A very pleasant video…… I loved all of it…….thanks for sharing!!! Carole❤️

[@arell56]

Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable video! I love it so much! I long to visit New Hampshire! I loved the dragonflies and hummingbirds darting happily around you!

[@candyvigil550]

What a wonderful little cemetery. I wish you'd thrown out some dates. Those metal head stones were so interesting. Thanks for showing this to us.

[@MarilynDean-i5b]

Love dragon flys. Continued Blessings for Willow.

[@barbaradzitko1826]

What a fun trip, Linda. Still planes and stills, beautiful metal headstones with cathedral-like spires, mylar balloons in fields to keep away birds and animals - all so interesting. Years ago I used food dye to color queen anne's lace.

[@reddog40]

Hi Linda, what a wonderful trip around NE towns, your gardens are busy like mine,my grandsons and I where having breakfast on the patio thus morning and a hummingbird actually dive bomb his head😂 That's funny about the plain my grandfather who made furniture and such told me about this when i was a kid they lite their fires with them, and I have his . Never new that about dying sunflowers.🕊️💚

[@catherinetaylor164]

Hello Linda, I just love taking little field trips with you! The "honor market" is just charming. What a nice way to share the bounty! We used to use tin can lids on string to keep the bird aways. Mylar is so dangerous to wildlife. Perhaps they know that, and are careful. Thanks again, for this wonderful video. As always, I look forward to the next. :)

[@heartofchocolate9433]

[@FunnySpruce]

What a lovely day for filming. We have over a 100 heat index today. We were trying to cut grass and work in the yard but it was miserable. We won't get any relief until November of the Gulf Coast. Not to mention that we are in Hurricane Season and pray that we don't loose ac with the heat.

[@farmer7184]

I love the covered bridge. It reminded me of the movie, Funny Farm.

[@cynthiasirois8295]

Linda ...I have never heard of a spill plane but what a neat tool from the 18th century! I don't think there is anything nicer than hopping in the car and driving along new roads and byways .... I usually find some new and interesting out of the way place to shop or dine or just look at because of these spur of the moment drives.... with no particular place in mind....and you captured some beautiful scenery. This year for some reason we are absolutely inundated with all kinds of butterflies... and they're so pretty to watch. Willow is looking better every week...have a productive but relaxing week! 🌺🌺🌷🌷💕💕

[@cindyjames4201]

Music so nice that you used for this video (but you always do good).

[@janegeeo1293]

I love rides to anywhere! We have houses on our Main Street, built in the early 1800s, with ballrooms. I guess all the 'well to do' people had one. I recently decided I want to memorize the presidents in order. So far I have six committed to memory. 🙄Are you going to try to use the spill plane or is it for decor. It amazes me to see gadgets made so long ago. Hot weather is going to be back on Thursday here, but I have noticed a blush of color in my dogwood leaves. So glad Willow is doing well. 🥰

[@newenglandfineliving]

I hope to use the spill plane!

[@bitcoin_deb3428]

Beautiful video again, Linda! I just love old cemeteries too! I haven't explored any here in NH yet...but when I lived in PA, I used to love going through the ones in Philly. Love all your jaunts through our beautiful state...I never get tired of it and feel so blessed to call it home!
