That’s awesome with your Peony! I have a similar story. When we bought our house it had a beautiful rose bush. My father loved roses so we both waited year after year & no blooms. My Dad asked if I knew the color - there wasn’t even 1 bud. I didn’t know. For 11 years this rose bush never bloomed! It was hearty so I kept it. My father passed away in December. On June 9th the following year from one day to the next my rose bush exploded literally overnight with the most beautiful red blooms. This color red is not a common red. It was my Dad’s favorite color! 12 years later it finally bloomed. The date it opened was a hard day because that same day a year prior started the decline of my Dad’s health & hospitalization. It was a sweet embrace & filled my heart with peace & comfort. I enjoyed today’s video - thank you. 😊

Yes! So thankful for this season in my life when I can enjoy details and “special cups” inside my home and nature outside even on days that include chores, errands, and not so fun projects. Retiring unexpectedly at 60 five years ago has been such a gift. Good to know I have kindred spirits who are also happy to enjoy home and creative homemaking without the demands and pressures of a full time job outside the home. BTW I never measure the lattice for pies. ☺️
@stephaniew.66762 жыл бұрын
Thanks for that--I never measure either. Actually, shamefaced to admit this, but I typically do not do the lattice part either. My bad, but it tastes the same....

Love watching the weather roll in and the wind through the leaves! So meditative. I do miss that sudden change in weather patterns during the day, and the peonies, from living in a similar environment in Japan. It's quite different in Southern California although there are other things I love here as well. And, I was struck with a thought while watching you arrange your peonies: It's funny that we think something that looks so perfect is fake (your leaf in your flower arrangement) when it was inspired by what was in nature - perfect in the first place. 🙏💕

Another lovely video ! I was hoping that there would be a huge thunderstorm when you were filming ( safely inside ). You have the most spectacular place to watch the storms . I went to camp in VT and we would love to watch them come across the lake and the cabins would shake when it thundered , it was so much fun. Now l spend my summers in FL where we have lots of storms . My husband will make us dark and stormys and we will sit on the porch and watch the lightning shows . I also was impressed that the names on the gravestones could still be read. We have a little cemetery in front of a local church where soldiers from the Revolutionary War are buried and the names have worn off 😢. Thank you for sharing, it is always enjoyable and educational 👏🏻

Good morning Linda! I grew up with cows in the pasture right behind my house on my friend’s grandfather’s farm. Cows are interesting characters for sure! Right now, I have a Mama house finch nesting on a front porch pillar. Birds are interesting to watch, too! I see her waiting with patience and perseverance with the expectancy of her babies!

This week a few things happened that bought me joy. For the 3rd day in a row, I've opened my door to a little chipmunk. I hadn't seen him before but there he is. I donated to Greenfield meeting house, wish I had more to give and my Sanseveria plant sprouted a brand new baby as did my pothos. I woke up everyday this week, so that pretty good☘🍀🌱🌺💕😊

Just love the story about your wedding and the peony what a blessing. my daughter lives in New Hampshire Charlestown to be exact and we are midwesterners in Wisconsin. So I very much enjoy going to your area to visitor her, with history at every turn. We bought a house that was from the late 1800s and this was 30 years ago anyway it was about 100 years old when we bought it and our insurance lady had a fit about it being so old. So our history here is just not like yours. Thanks for sharing your lovely blessings
