Preparing for Autumn - a cozy vlog

[@TheCottageFairy]

Now that I am feeling rejuvenated and ready for a new season, I am excited to share more craft projects (and bunny content). Some towns over here are already expecting frost soon, so Autumn is just around the corner! Time to air out my sweaters! A few things I have planned are videos on broom making, whittling, crafting, and bringing in the last of the harvest before the cold comes. Much love and light to all of you 🕯🤍

[@Nikki-ks6wi]

Please share your sweater for fall maybe shown up when airing out?

Ahhhhh you brought back one of my favorite childhood memories. You see I’m 63 years young and grew up in Chicago IL. I always imagined that I was thumbelina and that I was either swimming in a puddle or climbing the vines that grew on the brick homes. When I was asked in school, what I wanted to be when I grew up, I said I wanted to be a flower. The kids laughed at me but I never knew what a florist was called, I simply love flowers! Although I never became a florist I had always had grown flowers and gather them from streets lined with wild flowers, my garden is small but filled with all sorts of color. So much for a girl who always wanted to be a flower and yes to this day, I imagined to be thumbelina or a shrinking Violet!

We can, freeze, freeze dry and dehydrate until the cows come home. Tomorrow I will be planting out 72 Broccoli and Cauliflower plants, along with Lettuce, Kale and Spinach for a fall garden. This weekend we will put goats in our breeding pen and most likely begin pulling up potatoes. Fall means putting up food.

[@jackieo8693]

I planted lettuce a couple weeks ago but none have sprouted! What am I doing wrong?

[@jazfarm5726]

@@jackieo8693 Bad seed? Lettuce usually sprouts in a few days. Keep it wet. Also, lettuce should be sowed very shallow. I usually sprinkle the seeds on nicely prepared soil and then just rake some dirt over them. I doubt they are ever more than a quarter quarter of an inch down…. If that.

I rarely comment on videos, but this one was inspiring enough that I felt I should share some stuff. While I do love autumn, I am thin as a twig and my body doesn’t handle extreme heat or cold very well, so summer-winter end up being extremely difficult to handle for me. I love when it gets to be around the holidays when the stores smell like cinnamon and pumpkin spice, something about that just makes me very happy. Also, I’m so happy to know that I’m not the only one that loves huckleberries, good grief I am addicted to them 😂

I love autumn!! I spin my own yarn, dye it with plants and knit. Of course I do that all year, but autumn is when the cozy sweaters and wool socks come back into the wardrobe. I’ve just finished a mossy green cardigan and now I’m working on a pair of mittens for my daughter. We live in the middle of the city and only have a small yard, but we have a lot of things growing. Tomatoes are being harvested and made into pasta sauce with our chives, onions, and basil. Carrots are almost ready to be pulled and we will be able to get one more harvest of rhubarb. We collected chokecherries from a friend and grapes and apples from a neighbour. Jelly and juice are being processed with those. For my yarn I have marigolds (yellow), woad (blue) growing in my yard. My roses are blooming profusely and I’m hoping for a good harvest of rose hips as well as mint for my tea.

Here in England the weather has definitely cooled down, some trees have even started to shed some leaves but only a few. A mouse was nibbling an apple freshly fallen from my garden tree. Nature is wonderful.

[@angiemiller1335]

Autumn has always been my favorite time of year! One of my favorite fall traditions is going over the mountain to the neighboring county to purchase apples, pumpkins and gourds. A gallon or two of apple cider is always welcomed! Once home, the apples are used for apple dumplings, cakes and pies and the apple cider is warmed with cinnamon and other spices. Yum Yum. Warm, comforting and fun. The pumpkins and gourds, along with colorful mums, decorate my house and my yard Like you said only a few more weeks. I can't wait!

[@danseaman2257]

We have had an abundance of rain this year in the Central Highlands of Arizona and the flowers that have stayed hidden during our drought(s) have vigorously jumped up to the task of blooming and making seed... it is how it was years ago and so sweet to witness again. There will be many days of late Summer photographs that will lead into the photographs of Aspens and small hardwood color patches this Fall. For me the only preparatory tasks these days are gathering an archive of images to edit in the Winter, and to put up some firewood for the stove. Thank you for another artful & wonderful story share into your life.

[@julesmerlo6247]

I've been knitting for eight years, since i was a sophomore in high school, and even though i do it all year round, knitting in the autumn with a nice cup of tea and an audiobook is just such a unique sensation, like everything is at peace for once. it's far and away my favorite activity, especially in the later months.

[@heavenhelpus9084]

Autumn, the season that shows us change can be beautiful! 🍂🍁🍃 I have some possibly scary changes coming up. I know that it will be a process of letting go of some material things before hand, which is a bit challenging for me, but I know that I will feel so much lighter and happier afterwards!

[@darviecampbell2763]

I am in western Washington state and have always enjoyed picking my produce at our local u-pic farm. From the first sweet strawberries to the beautiful bounty of numerous summer vegetables to cook for my husband. But starting in September the winter squashes and gourds, sunflowers and pumpkins are what draws my heart. To decorate for Fall, I will use a few various squashes along with what ever I can hunt from the forest behind my back yard. I just wish I could bottle the earthy smell of the decaying ferns and damp mossy ground that seems to me to be Autumn's signature scent.

[@johndej]

For me, this time of year feels somewhat melancholy as the heat and light start to fade. But I love the colors and crispness of the fall air. Huckleberries are a special memory for me. When I was a teenagers, a group of us were hiking around on Mt. St. Helens just above the timber line looking for a plane that had crashed into the mountain. We ran across a huckleberry patch that was probably 100 yards across. The berries were huge compared to the normal ones around Spirit Lake. We filled every backpack, bag, and container we had and lugged them down the mountain. The cook at Y Camp (where we worked) had a field day with our haul. My mouth is watering just thinking about that memory. Thank you for another thoughtful video!

My hope is to make a “junk journal” highlighting greeting cards my friends and family have given me. I make most all of my own greeting cards, and usually send out way more than I ever receive. For that reason I tend to keep all the cards that come my way. I broke my elbow in mid June so my goal is to have regained enough muscle to play my accordion 🪗 again. I also couldn’t do very much crafting so I’ll be playing catch up for my Christmas gift making. I have chickens, cats and dogs that demand my attention as well as a feral dog we’ve been working with for eight months. He’s quite a challenge, but is finally fearless enough to begin training to be inside. I’ve got my hands pretty full this upcoming autumn.

I live on 7 acres in the high mountains (elevation: 7,260) of northern New Mexico. I've spent the unusually wet summer dodging thunder storms, and a few weeks ago, a series of huge hail storms decimated my garden. All that was left were 3 tomato plants and, weirdly enough, 10 buckets of various varieties of potatoes. So, because it was too late to replant outside, I've been re-starting seedlings inside my enclosed porch, and have turned it into a green house. I've also been working on lime washing the walls of my 150 year old adobe house, pruning branches and getting ready for a harsh winter that I believe will be here before I know it. Fall is also Hatch green chili time here in New Mexico, with huge roasters along the sides of the roads in every town. The amazing smoky scent of roasting chilis permeates the air and we can pull up and place our order, mild, medium or hot, and our chilis are roasted on the spot, then they are dumped into a garbage bag. I usually spend an afternoon going through the chilis, peeling and placing them into small bags to freeze and enjoy for the rest of the year. Oh, and occasionally taking the time to wash a Great Pyrenees and an Australian Shepherd who keep trying to make friends with my neighborhood skunk. :-)

I love Spring but do believe Fall is my favorite - always has been as far back as I can recall. Walking through the fallen leaves and to hear them rustle when the wind blows - I'm more inspired to be creative in Fall for some reason - right now I'm making a tapestry of two of my great grandchildren to give to their parents as a gift - then I'll be crocheting more items for a Fall festival at my church and want to try my hand at making a quilted picture from fabric I have a lot of. I would love to make my Christmas cards this year - used to make blank note cards using my photography a lot about 8-9 years ago which I sold at craft shows. Looking forward to your videos demonstrating how to whittle, broom making - crafting. you are a very good artist = started a scrapbook pages for my oldest great granddaughter and would like to get it finished as I believe at 13 she's ready for journal writing.

Hello 😄😄 what did you cook today .🍝🍗🍟🍕🌮🌭🍛🍜Did you have dinner?🤔

[@lindasteinbrenner8065]

We finally have a break from very hot humid weather here in Northern Illinois. We are enjoying our last days of swimming. My granddaughter and I will be making pine cone/ peanut butter/birdseeds hangers for the birds and we are harvesting our flower seeds. I am excited for fall and everything that comes with it! Love your video and happy you are feeling rejuvenated! ❤️

[@user-mq9lx9im3x]

[@Anncheryl61]

[@Elizabetha2514]

I'm going to try to make those birdseed feeders, too. 'thanks for the idea!

[@nancyt2003]

I always harvest my lavender and make bouquets for friends and neighbors.

I stopped keeping a journal for many years but one great thing I started during the pandemic is keeping a journal again. I enjoy drawing little things to document my day in addition to the writing. I would have little patience to make a journal book, though; after making so much effort on it I might not have the heart to write on it. 😅 Enjoy the signs of autumn---where I live in California, summer is still in full swing.

I live in a moderate/temperate microclimate along the coast in the Bay Area of California. As an artist I am so visual that I can see, even in our temperate chaparral urban landscapes I can sense the changes to Autumn in a couple of weeks. Sometimes I believe it is more of a mind shift than an actual shift in the atmosphere, but however it shifts, it does. My Autumnal favorite things I look forward to is wearing sweaters, and fall colors. Mornings punctuated with the smell of pan fried apples with brown sugar and cinnamon. However your post has reminded me of the things I use to do when I was younger at this time of year. I am retired now and I have time to just meander through an autumn day crafting and enjoying a cozy fire, hot tea and quiet music. Thank you for being so inspiring.

Autumn a wonderful season to slow down and unwind a favorite time of year. We have just entered Spring in Australia and I can already feel my senses awakening. Your paintings of your flowers are so beautiful, looking forward to your future craft projects. I am currently studying Aromatherapy and part of the study is making our own body care products and household cleaning products, so I'm enjoying creating new body balms and diffuser blends. Thank you for your great inspiration and calm you share with all. Sending you light and love 🌱

I still remember that I started watching you when you had 13k subscriber and you had no any mic too But I knew someday your channel is going to grow so much and I am so happy for you 💗

[@TheGeekMonster]

I can't wait until the weather is suitable for hiking again. Summer is too hot, too humid, and too rife with insects where I live. In the autumn, I'll take my camera and spend hours in the forest. It's so peaceful and cathartic for my soul.

[@meredithheath5272]

She is so fortunate to be so beautiful.... Her scenic footage paired with her gorgeous choice of calm music, nearly puts me in tears... LOVE the dog's anticipation of catching something to snack on!

[@lorrainewhiting1267]

Living on the tiny island of Jersey Channel Islands I love collecting the sloes and blackberries September time, making jams and sloe gin. We are still having pleasant weather, good for long walks around our lanes and beaches. Love your videos so relaxing.

[@manishapudasaini2391]

Everytime I feel anxious and lost, I watch her videos and they instantly make me joyful🥺🥺 Thank you so much for creating something so blissful🥰😇

[@cosmiccat777]

I am so ready for Autumn especially after the very hot summer we have had and filled with smoke. I usually decorate my home with Autumn decorations, like woodland creatures, pumpkins, acorns, and Autumn florals and garlands. I am also drying my herbs and blackberry leaves for teas and medicines for the winter. Thank you for always inspiring others!

[@rachellaurendeau5202]

I begin by placing my summer clothes away and launder my Fall and winter clothes. Then I sit and map out little road trips I will take during Fall. I prepare small pie crusts I will freeze for when I make chicken pot pies to eat during winter. I wash the windows and dedicate one (with the screen removed) which I will use to stick a bird feeder on it for winter so the local birds will have food to eat. This is also the time of year where the sunrays will come through the windows inspiring me to finish my beading/crystal projects for the windows. The sunrays do not come through in the Spring and Summer so I love seeing the sunbeams shining through the house.

Oh, huckleberries! Here in N. Idaho, we love to go picking every summer. Many won't reveal their sources and patches as they are so sought after. This summer, our numerous local fires and horrible heatwave diminished our chances to go out and pick, so I just have to look forward to next summer to find our secret berry patch and forage away. Luckily I still have a few in my freezer from last year!

[@elsa8577]

You look preciosa with flowers 💐 in your hair and so glad you are up to autumn 🍂 love the colors that the season brings 💝

[@00Abigail013]

I love making arts and crafts and I would love to one day live out in the country like you on a hill next to a quaint little town

[@dianeknott3655]

We are experiencing a lovely, breezy, sunny and dry day after Ida has passed through. We were just on the edge of it, thankfully, while so many were not. The cooler temperatures are so welcomed by those of us whose bodies react so painfully to hot, humid temperatures. It's delightful! Looking out the window through my Austrian pine branches that are sparkling in the sunshine, makes me so grateful for the change in the weather and for a new perspective the sunshine provides - uplifting for sure, as are your videos every week. Thank you for your gentle approach to life. You may never know how many people you have helped, but you may count me as one, even at my grand old age of 76, there is something to be learned from a beautiful, young soul as yourself.

[@mariedupuis7802]

What a beautiful valley ! Each time it makes me dream of a better world where humans beings had kept this world given by God intact. We have lost many things. I dream to retire near nature for I live in town since I was born I now long for it. Thank you for sharing the beauty.

[@tammyroyal7547]

Fall is my very favorite season!! Summer has been so dang hot this year!! I am looking forward to the cooler temps, clear blue skies, & the majestic changing of the leaves!! Of course, I love pumpkin & apples!! 🧡🍁🍎

[@marciwhitton6351]

Hi, the essence of your demeanour reflects on me and acts as nourishment to the fibre of my soul. I also would like to say that what you produce and prepare is far better than anything mass produced. Thank you so much from me in Tasmania Australia.

[@OmarAvilesCreative]

Great video Paolo! Here in New York City - we are in a rain storm named Ida. I hope the fires have stop in your part of town. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and creative side with us.

[@tonyarolfe6107]

I too enjoy Fall. I enjoy winter even more being on West side of mountains. Crisp air and leaves falling is pretty. Yes agree for the sweater season, I live in my sweaters. Blessings Poala 💜🤟

[@justlanchen]

Your work is so inspiring!!! Keep up the beautiful art and aesthetic videos 🤍🤍🤍✨

[@nomadskywatcher]

Autumn is for salting and drying vegetables and fruits under the sun so that they can be stored for the winter, abs as you did, enjoying the flowers while they last. On a different note, do you paint using natural colours? I looked at the colour of berries on your hands and thought how beautiful it would be to paint with seasonal colours too! 🌸

[@TheCottageFairy]

I have experimented with natural paints but have not perfected a recipe yet, I hope to explore it more this autumn ❤️ thank your very much for sharing

[@pixiechristiansen7250]

Thank you so much for trusting us with your inner world. I'm a busy mum of three, homeschooler and garden tenderer in the UK, and when I watch your videos I'm able to relax and notice things I may not have happened upon before. You've inspired me to get creative in the kitchen, and my kids love the new flowery decorations on their meals. Love to you cottage fairy 💜

[@sueowens1129]

I have fond memories of the Huckleberry’s of Washington. They were so abundant in the area I grew up in. 😋. The fall for me is preserving food that I have grown to carry through the winter and spring. I have a large crop of pears this year and Italian prunes to can. It’s a busy but rewarding time 🥰

[@jaimebenson6102]

I LOVE your black rabbit and your black Lab!! Thank you for showing them off in this video!!

[@deborahreid4114]

Autumn the Season of Pumpkin Spice Lattes Lol 😂🍁🍂☕ The changing of leaves, the wearing of the colors of Autumn Vibes bring a smile to one's face. A time to prepare to "Be Thankful for another season in our life's" So happy to know you finally got rain up where you live. Our season of rain is still 2.5 mths away. Thank you for another AMAZING video!!! 😉
