Your family has to be thanking God every single day for all that you do to make your home so warm, welcoming and charming! Everything is so wonderful!

[@cherryvaleleatherock6900]

"Leaves and seeds, and dirt from the trees." I'll bet you didn't even realize you made a rhyme !! Now you can add "Poet" to your list of many talents. Smile 8-). I just love your videos, Mary. You are the amazing sister I never had. Smile again. 8-)

[@joannecooper4592]

I had a doctor's appointment today and needed something to lift my spirits. Breast cancer is no fun, but I feel I have a good medical team to help me. Anyway, your porch is so inviting! Beautiful job as always, Miss Mary!

[@nyarjohn747]

I wish you all the best!

[@amyhendricks3627]

Prayers for wellness lifted up to you! Had a scare with Melanoma recently, and it can feel like such a dirty trick life has played...feeling confidence in your medical team is a huge plus and such a relief. Truly wishing you all the best!

From The Netherlands: Dear Joanne, I wish you good health in the very near future. Thinking of you x

[@barbarawhitman7953]

I've written once before to say how very much I admire you, but I must do it again. I've just finished your set-up for your porch with fresh cleanup, flowers, etc., etc., etc. I feel you are an inspiration for women to get-up and get-going to make our homes lovely, with hard work and tender loving care. I know I am greatly inspired. I already work hard, on my home, but it helps me to see all the wonderful things you do. Thank you, sincerely. Barbara Whitman-Welborn

[@annettemurielle]

I'm sure that all around the world women are inspired to create a peaceful, beautiful space for their families as you create for yours. I'd love to sit on your porch and listen to the birds--glorious!

[@lindamerrick8278]

Mary, you just make your spaces look so inviting. Everyone can tell you put a lot of love into your home. Have a blessed day.

[@ellef4812]

What a blessing you are to your family! What a blessing you are to us! Thank you for sharing your life and creativity with all of us...💝

[@chereeburtner4659]

Mary, your porch is so inviting with your plants and decor. I hope you have time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Just beautiful!

[@dianegentry3255]

What a special place for morning quiet time nestled in the Lord’s creation. Thank you for sharing your talents. Lovely!

[@laurieanne9712]

Your birds sounded so wonderful I wouldn't have minded it at all if there was no music!

[@debweissler7808]

Enjoy your outdoor spaces while you can. Outdoor rooms always look so inviting, but in my hot, humid tidewater VA summers, someone my age has learned one doesn’t need a huge outdoor space(s) filled with stuff that require daily or weekly upkeep. I call it summer burnout. Just some screened shade, a ceiling fan a pitcher of iced tea & a water view. Heaven!

[@Doloresgbryant]

I could watch you all day

[@melindamoore9449]

Before reading the other messages, I said the same thing! Mary is a joy!

[@rebeccafansler5148]

What an oasis you've created! I'd never want to leave the front porch!

Love it, could just Curl up with a book and enjoy the outdoors sounds.

[@christyinthecarolinas]

The spindles you took off, would make 2 perfect candlesticks! Just cut in half and place a wood round on top! I'd leave them all chippy too, just like they are. Beautiful!

[@Hildachipman]

When I was a young girl I would walk around my block. When I would see pretty porches I would sit quietly on their steps. It was much after back then. Your porch is definitely one I would have enjoyed.

[@lindaeshbach6494]

Mary your pirch looks lovely, and I too also love the colors of the green pillows. Your porch colors of the white and green is just so serene. Thanks for taking us along. Always look forward to Wednesdays.

[@sherryz191]

Mary it puts me at peace watching your videos. You are an inspiration

[@jansmith8021]

I also use smashed up water bottles for drainage in my pots and saves on potting soil!!

[@luella2897]

Yes , definitely, whatever you do, don't leave the tops on the bottles !!!! I came home to an "EXPLODED" fairy garden barrel ! LOL !! It had rained and my capped bottles acted like buoys. They all flew out the top of the soil along with plants and fairies !!!!! It all made quite a mess on my back porch, not saying what it did to my tiny village!

[@jansmith8021]

Oh no!! Sorry to hear that but yes I always remove the caps ,they do not stayed smashed that way but do not have to use as many then!

[@bobbihofacker2706]

I always use my plant trays/pots too

[@KelseyDrummer]

[@joyceharris9296]

[@Marylu3172]

I need to move some of my hostas. I hadn’t thought about just planting them in pots. That would keep them safe during our construction.

[@j.m.7056]

I've done just that and it works extremely well.

[@debbiehenderson2275]

I’ve always moved my hostas around to pots. Most hostas are pretty hardy. I did try keeping them in pots over winter in the cold cellar and had one not make it. I now put them back in the ground in the fall.

[@gwendolyndee]

You work so hard - everything looks beautiful - thank you!

[@marionjackson4244]

What a Beautiful Spot Mary. With the Beauty of the Surroundings and The Birds Singing in The Backyard, It's Just a Little Taste of Heaven....😊❤

[@mochagrl78]

You can tell that your plants know that they're loved. They're all so beautiful. ❤

[@yolereed1]

I love it! I wish I could sit there with a book and coffee❤️. Thank you for sharing.

[@tanyafletcher3593]

Beautiful as always Mary! I have to live vicariously thru you as I live in an apartment building and don't have anywhere to beautify with plants etc. like you do. The sounds of all the birds singing around you while you work is so peaceful too. Thank you for sharing with us each week. It really is so much admired by many and appreciated❤

Mary, I love your style...I live with my son and daughter-in-law and therefore don't get to decorate like I'd want to..but I live through you and your ideas...you could offer a retreat center to those who need some R and R...Blessings ♥️🥰

[@valc4839]

Mary,simply lovely .what an inviting pleasing to the eye space you have once again created. The water trickling,the birds singing it's paradise. Many blessings to you and your family.

[@patriciaskitch2341]

Such a beautiful porch transformation that is so budget friendly. So peaceful and calm. As always love your commentary, beautiful choice of background music. Thank you thank you for this wonderful KZbin channel that your followers look so forward to watching each week. You are THE BEST!

[@iamwhoiamd7056]

I am so happy you said you wouldn’t want to live any where else. I get it. I think all the trees and landscaping is so beautiful and peaceful.

[@Taborl826]

I love at the porch and agree about ladders making great plant stands, everything looks wonderful. Very peaceful environment.

[@melwee8511]

Your make over of your porch really soothing, relaxing and de-stressing to watch. Able to listen to the sound of falling water and chirping of birds is really calming to the soul too. Thk u, Mary, for sharing this beautiful video.

[@sherriebrown1387]

So pretty, peaceful and calming. I would sit on that porch every chance I got. It's a special space.

[@kellieroth1710]

Stunningly beautiful! I want to sit on your porch with a cup of coffee and wonder at God's beautiful majesty! You have inspired me and that bookshelf planter is genius! ❤

[@jackieburnett6881]

Mary you absolutely are the best at decorating and incorporating beautiful plants! Your patio screams! Come in and have a cup or glass of tea and stay a while!!!

[@melodymelody6589]

Absolutely a beautiful space! Great place to read a book or just sit and listen to the birds and sip tea. Thank you for sharing and the idea of just using some plants from my garden in pots. 🌱🌱👩‍🌾

[@barbara-dj1uo]

Oh, Mary! It’s a beautifully decorated porch. It just seems like yesterday you were decorating your porch for spring. Time flies. Thank you so much for showing details in your videos , like digging and dividing the hostas. I learn so much when you show exactly how you do something. I know it takes extra time to reposition your camera to film. You are greatly appreciated. 🥰😍❤️

[@Annabelle-ve2vq]

As always cleaver and beautiful I love the greens and white so cozy a great coffee area on the swing great place to read the bible and talk with our heavenly father

[@AcornHillHomestead]

My husband thinks Im a nut bc I am always asking him to keep wood “scraps”. He likes to burn them in our fire pit but I use them to raise containers etc. and add feet to things I plant in. Styrofoam forms used in shipping are awesome fillers too. I don’t use peanuts as the are too messy and blow away. Small partially rotted logs are great too as the will hold moisture and feed plants. Nice job on your porch. I,like that you used plants from your yard. We have a very shady front yard so I just use silk plants on the porch and incorporate fallen birch branches I pick up along the road.

[@nancykirk4021]

I love the way you use old ladders as plant shelves. I love how fearless you are with tools. You inspire me!

[@amyjones2490]

Thats a great idea to expand ones garden. Nurture divided perrenials all summer and plant back into the garden in autumn.

[@randomvagaries5140]

I keep my host as in containers permanently. They come up every spring! No fuss, no worries!

[@annesweeney5552]

Mary , I still want a water feature like your door and sink I just love it .. I sure did like the other legs better ,though they had so much shape to them , so spindly . I think that interest was really cool with door ! The others just looks so upside down to me ..Mary you are such an inspiration and yes I’d to want to plant I hydrangea in a large pot now that I know they can winter over

[@angelahagood7143]

Love those boots! I just have to how in the world do you pick up bags of souls bigger than you??? 💪🏻 Your idea for the shelf planter was so cool! As you talk through your projects I find myself nodding along like I’m there with you. 😚 You could make an hour long video of just your porch with all those beautiful birds singing, the water from your fountain, and an occasional kitty walking by...I’d definitely play it on my TV! Love all the attention to detail and how you reuse everything from old pots to plants from your garden. You just make my heart so happy. Thank you!

[@casid9929]

I've seen you can use heavy duty trash bags cut open as a liner for pots. Maybe it would help extend the life of your new giant planter.

[@sandieyule1644]

Mary you as always are so inspiring! I just love the natural look of your flower gardens. The plastic flower containers as fillers is AMAZING! Not to mention it saves from sending them to landfill in garbage!

It would be fantastic if Green Works would give you a sponsorship. I just bought one of their electric pressure washers and I’m very happy with it. I use it to clean my outdoor porches. I can see you using that on your house, porches, so many areas. You deserve it!

[@dianehall5345]

Hello Mary from our farm in New Hampshire! -- Its been a while since I had time to sit down and watch your channel. I missed your creative ideas and projects.They are a reminder of all the discarded farm items that litter our barns and sheds. So many of these things can be cleaned up, painted and repurposed. I'm creating a woodland garden at our farm cottage and hopefully will have a deck this year. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication you put into your channel ~ Diane

It is just beautiful, Mary! I don't know if I'd get anything done having such a lovely spot to enjoy the view, the plants, and all that pretty birdsong! Many people add a track of birds singing to their videos, but you have the real thing! There are sooo many happy bird calls...I love your aesthetic and the way you create the special spaces throughout your home and garden. Thank you so much for sharing

It's alway such a treat to hear all the wildlife in the background of your videos, Mary. Love what you do to bring in all the greenery to you spaces. I do have a question regarding the galvanized bucket that you're using as planter, are you drilling holes on the bottom for drainage, or leaving as it?
