Oh my gosh Cathrine! Your flowers are beautiful. They with the eucalyptus would make great arrangements. The colors of the fallen leaves are so bright & colorful! They would look beautiful with your sunflowers too. Thank you for sharing your work.

I love how the garden is still wonderful I am always happy to see as I do laundry on Sundays have a great week 😀

[@sandyl.7608]

I love all of the different colors of leaves you have; they are so pretty. So brilliant!! I love this time of year. I am so happy that we, here in WY USA, are finally having a proper fall/autumn. For many years now we have had an early snow that break the branches on trees and shrubs before the leaves have time to change, so sad. But this year all of the leaves are changing properly and as you say, "it brings me joy"! Your videos do the same for me!! Thank you.

[@mandiesmaison458]

I love to hoover my grass with the mower, I also mow my path, as it hoovers the leaves too, I just have to make sure they are no surprises under the leaves! I do get some funny looks from the neighbours when they see me mowing the path! The leaves on the ground are so beautifully coloured.

[@leanne1234]

I do the same thing 😂

Catherine you’re a “wild woman” with your lawnmower and leaf blower! I love those tools too because they give instant gratification and a clean yard! I always say I’m done buying plants or bulbs, then all of a sudden, yep, I buy more plants and bulbs, oh yeah and seeds. 🎉😂❤😳

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aw the insane gratification gives me joy LOL x

I enjoyed the bulb stories this spring will be so fun to watch them come up. You are teaching me the cycle of gardening. Just a note I now have a very cozy bed from your video a few weeks ago. I bought a mattress topper replacing my falling apart foam one. I am now looking for a new pillow! Cleaned my blankets and comforter and added a fall candle! Feels so cozy!

Oh please preserve your eucalyptus in vegetable glycerin!!! It lasts, lasts, lasts & doesn't get brittle. It also looks so lovely. It's so simple. Just boil the glycerin & put into jars to cool, smash your stems , stick them into the jars & let them dry. I'd always just sir dried mine and was so sad when after a couple weeks the leaves began to fall off and fall into chips. Once I tried this I never looked back.

[@heatherthompson8837]
