I LOVE LOVE LOVE your Hudderite community! Everyone together, no one hungry, no one without housing, working together, praising God!

[@gisellewaldner9406]

❤❤❤❤, i'm glad you love the videos

[@MsSarah999]

thats because the exile anyone who fits that criteria. lol.

[@pippathomas5019]

I don't understand your comment. Exile the people sharing all in faithful community? Throw out the people who don't go hungry or aren't homeless? Who even mentioned it in this comment? So confused....🤷🤷🤷

[@gisellewaldner9406]

​@MsSarah999 I'm really confused by your comment, if there is something you would like to know I am doing a q&a soon so feel free to ask, I can answer questions that you may have or address whatever it is you are talking about.

[@chelseagirl278]

confused, you and me both

Thank you for another wonderful vlog. Thank you for all the hard work you do in making these vlogs. Love your walk in the valley, it looks so relaxing. Can I say you are a great video maker. You capture moments that words can’t express. You bring your vision to life, one frame at a time. You unleash your creativity through your lens. Anything you film is a privilege. See you in the next vlog.

[@D.N..]

@gilbaum.. Since you live on a Kibbutz in Israel, what's been happening in your community during this current crisis? Orthodox are going to be drafted into IDF, how does that affect your community? Its amazing

[@gisellewaldner9406]

Thank you so much!

[@patriciahollis9803]

Thank you again for a lovely video. I'm constantly impressed at how your colony has everything needed, the right tools for every job, and everything you need for entertainment as well. A blessed way of living, close to God and family 😊❤

[@gisellewaldner9406]

Glad you enjoyed it ❤❤

[@sherriechampion7979]

I'm so glad you put the camera down and enjoyed the picnic! I love seeing it but knowing that you had fun ❤❤❤❤ The amount the garden provides and all the hard work is so worth it during the winter months! Beautiful blog as always! ❤❤❤

[@janetbrowning9089]

I just love sweet, faithful Kona...she is always with you. This is such a cute idea for a game! Your picnic looked like so much fun & such delicious looking food too. The strawberry jam looked amazing too & I can understand why you all have to put it into larger containers, enough to feed the community. The peas looked so good too; my grandmother used to cook peas with new potatoes & it was so good. Wow, that mushroom was huge!! Thank you so much for sharing, Giselle...many Blessings & much love to you, your family & the Hutterite Colony. 🙏♥

[@hmccharmedgirl]

This was a fun vlog! The picnic, the walk with Kona and the strawberry marshmallows! 😊 Thank you for continuing to share! I thoroughly enjoy your vlogs and I look forward to them each and every week!

[@gisellewaldner9406]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@sallycormier1383]

You all are such hard workers! I’m sitting here exhausted just from having some of my grand children for two days and a sleepover. They are so much fun but I am always tired afterwards. 😅 I love seeing your communities garden especially because it has been such a dry hot summer here in North Carolina. I’m thankful for much needed rain this evening. I always enjoy your vlogs and love seeing Kona. I keep telling myself I need to make your marshmallow recipe but haven’t done it yet. 😂 Have a wonderful blessed week!❤

[@gisellewaldner9406]

Oh i'm sure you are tired, kids have a lot of energy and get tired when i'm around ours for a few hours, but then again there are always a minimum of 8. 😁

Im a gardener and I just started wearing a sun hat for the first time last year and I cant believe how much cooler I feel. You should get one!

[@joycel242]

Oh my, it’s been hot here too. Your colony has a lovely, balanced approach to life. God bless you all!

[@marlanebraun5635]

hello Giselle!! i suggest you tap the top of your fizzy drink can three or four times...it will rarely fizz out. our days are not as wretchedly hot as they were. i look forward to autumn! i remember picking beans in my aunt's garden and so enjoying the freshness right off the plant! insecticides were always used...but we lived!!! we had 2 tornado watches in one week. we might get one during the summer, but it seems hurricane Beryl played havoc on everyone's weather. i hope i was correct on the gopher wood and pitch. we say it all the time when there are torrents of rain. i must vacuum the kitchen before i just give up. i have arthritis in my back and shoulders so housework takes a loong time because i need to rest. i would love to come see your valley. its so beautiful! have a wonderful blessed week. see you soon

[@gisellewaldner9406]

Thank you for sharing and i hope you have a blessed week as well

[@NikkiBly]

Those strawberries look so delicious. My son was helping them harvest carrots this week at the colony I work at (I work at the school) because he loves to garden. He was given a few strawberries to bring me and they were wonderful. We were also given some carrots and peas. So yummy! Your channel helps me learn even more about Hutterite culture and my students really appreciate it.

[@NHIexist]

Your picnic food looks fabulous. Your colony inspires me to do a picnic when Summer arrives here!

[@wendyw.2778]

Hi, did you know that you can use the green leafs of the carrots too? You can use them raw in salads, make pesto, or use it for a soup for example. I am sure there are recipes in english too, i just have german ones.

[@michellesunshinestar]

Ms. Giselle, I was at a family function tonight. (One of my great uncle's is an endocrinologist, so we were talking about cholesterol and a-fib, and the medications we are on.) My great uncle was like you have a lot to look forward to. (I'm 44, and there are longevity genes on both sides of my family. But we had this delicious desert, and I don't like raspberries. The lady friend that made said she used angel food cake, fresh berries and homemade whipped cream or whatever. I had fun, I mostly listened, I was with the older generation. My cousin was there, both of them. The girl cousin looks kind of like me, her hair is a lot shorter though. But people get us mixed up.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself, it sounds like fun and such soul food ❤

Any chance you would do a Colony cookbook? I love your vlog but my favorite parts are the cooking parts. I also wonder if you compost your vegetable and green waste for adding to the garden? Kona is the sweetest girl, so attached to you.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

We have a cookbook, the information on how to get it is in the community section on the KZbin channel. Oh yes kona always has to be around us 😊

[@aprilmapp3140]

It is interesting and you make each vlog different it is good how you keep your dog walking with you. Have a great day.

I love visiting with you dear Giselle. I hope you are having a great day!

[@catherineparr5489]

Another great video . we are grateful for the insight's you provide . I'm sure your family are happy that you have Kona's companionship on your rambles . My family prefers it if I make strawberry with whole / larger pieces of the fruit . So I put the berries in the sugar overnight . Obviously, I am not making colony quantities , but I generally make it through the year . I find making preserves a very relaxing process . You grow , harvest , then preserve , harmony 🥰😄😄💕💕, God Bless

[@loribrocato145]

Giselle which of the essential oils/roller do you use? Citronella, eucalyptus, peppermint or other? Tried to search roller on website without success. My daughter is going to an archery tournament with friends and she will be walking through a heavily wooded area. I grew up in Florida and we either used Avon skin so soft for mosquitoes but not ticks. Also we drank dill pickle juice and it was supposed to be a repellent to mosquitoes when we would sweat. It must have worked because I don't remember severe mosquito bites or perhaps I blocked it out haha

[@loribrocato145]

On another subject I wish I could take "hands on" Hutterite cleaning, cooking and baking courses. Love you and your community. Your Mom must be so proud of you. I'm proud of you. (Mom of young adult children. I can't stop momming.)

[@judywells7801]

[@jeannine1739]

The strawberries looked wonderful! They're my second favorite berry for taste, right behind nagoon berries. Are you far enough north for nagoon berries? I haven't had them since I left Alaska, 3 decades ago.

[@peerlessinid]

I adore strawberries! I do, however, absolutely detest canned peas-frozen are OK-but I can eat myself full to the point of popping when raw fresh peas make themselves available to me. My mouth waters thinking of both strawberries and peas. When you and your loved ones enjoy these tasty foods later as the icy winds of winter are nipping, it must feel satisfying knowing that all the work you put into providing them is truly appreciated.

[@x_Dude1]

That collage is creative. Guess ^^ The burgers look tasty , bradwurst like them sliced/baked. That mushroom 14:50 looks amazing, never saw one in orange / size.

[@christineiscrocheting]

[@BossmanEight]

Here in southern Indiana the strawberry season would've been long gone. I haven't gone strawberry picking in many, many years. I made some jams, froze some, and made a *lot* of strawberry wine. Most of which ended up with family & friend.

Hi Giselle, you story is so beautiful as always but just a thought, if you wore aprons, which I’m sure you could make so wonderfully, you could wear them when you are making the messy and colourful things like strawberries and beets and keep your lovely clothes from getting stained. You keep our spirits lifted and send good things into the world for us to enjoy!

We had BBQ hotdogs, our family's secret recipe. So good. My aunt brought her famous 3 bean casserole. I'm going to have to get the recipe. I'm glad I took the cauliflower because I sat next to the person who made it, she said she used Italian dressing. At my grandma and grandpa's (we are German heritage on my mom's side) we would play bat mitten in the backyard. I admire the Hutterite work ethics. Are those fresh peas? I only ever get canned here.
