The Hints of Spring

[@marysmyth8288]

Dear Annabel, I am a senior and was my granddaughter that encouraged me To visit your channel. I was born in Ireland and at age 39 yrs emigrated to Canada with my husband Sadly my husband of 51 yrs died 2016. Wish for you to know, your videos are so lovely , your fur kids adorable Your area where you walk on the beach is stunning.much of that beach reminds me Of my life growing up in Ireland , tis to do with the tides. Love how your doggies bound into the ocean with such jest. In life there are many chapters, emotional up’s and downs . Yet the Integrity of your soul remains , i love this quote: *The Essence of life ; something to do ,something to Love , something to look forward to Mary Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦

[@danherrick5785]

Your videos are so important to me... There was another channel that stopped posting, please don't leave us...

[@AnnabelMargaretGreen]

I wont anytime soon :) making these videos brings me too much joy and it means a lot to get to share them

[@danherrick5785]

@@AnnabelMargaretGreen Thank you - my intent is not to put pressure on - I just wanted/needed to say something ... I know it means alot for both you and us... I needed to say how much I care for you.

[@serenacross6306]

I second this Annabel, when I am lost, finding your videos again grounds me. ❤

[@jodidaunfowler1394]

Completely agree, content creating is a passion. Not everyone can and yours for sure bring a sence of peace. you do a beautiful job. Cinematicaly and mundane. Beautiful work from a fellow Washington liver!

[@heidimarie777]

I live east of the Cascades. I agree. Love these peaceful videos. ❤

[@hsoderberg6505]

Everytime I think spring is almost here it snows! An old subscriber come back again.

[@circleofleaves2676]

While there you in are in the northern hemisphere waiting for the long winter to end, here I am in the southern hemisphere waiting for the long hot humid sticky uncomfortable (subtropics) summer to end.

Spring time spring time! 🌷 Happy happy spring time💐 Wind is blowing. 🍃 Grass is growing 🌱 Sunshine, flowers! ☀️ 🌹 April and May showers! 🌧️ Happy happy Spri-ing time! ❤

[@YourPainting1]

Hints of Spring make my heart sing 🤍

[@AnnabelMargaretGreen]

mine too

[@jampuppy]

I also love your calm. I love it all the more for your authenticity when not having so much calm available. Every time someone shares their struggle, it normalises the fight for mental health. That heals the world.

[@MeaningSeekerPod]

Good on you for resisting the dark, making this video and making something so complicated from scratch. 👏

[@glukkan]

oh my god. I'm a self taught occasional pie maker and I never knew to move the crust using the rolling pin like that. I feel so dumb and so happy to have learned something today!

[@AwakenedGrayce]

I get so happy when I see a new video post by you. I really enjoyed watching, they are like mini movies! The cinematography and the music are superbly done! Thank you for sharing your gifts. 🌱💚🌱

[@sarahogden3826]

You are a skilled baker, video-maker, and poet. Thank you for sharing. This is delightful!

[@disideratum]

I'd like to make a suggestion for the Blue Days. When you go on your Nature Walks, see if you can find patches of white clover (trifolium repens). Try finding four leaf clovers! Of course they have magickal attributes but they also give moments of pure childlike joy. Once they're pressed and preserved they make gorgeous lockets (protip: laminate them first with a UV protective film). When they're in bloom they make a wonderful healing tea as well. Good Luck 🍀

[@angelagentry562]

19:03 Another beautiful video Annabel. I look forward to seeing a new video by you pop up. It brings me so much joy and peace as I watch you craft beautiful spells of hope.

[@johnadamski4012]

🌲🍀🐾💚 . . . "as I watch you craft beautiful spells of hope". You craft beautiful compliments😉💚🐾🍀🌲.

[@YourRoyalMajesty.]

Yay!!! Your videos always bring me so much calm! Hope you're well!

[@eloisewhitney171]

Love your asthetic in your videos, your house and your clothes. So grounding to watch your newest story ❤️

[@Littlewing6was9]

I made a soup with nettle tips over the weekend. Just potatoes, an onion, nettles stock, seasoning and a splash of cream. The taste is exquisite. I don't know what huckleberries are, they look like redcurrants. Much love to you... 🌼

[@purrsephone2904]

Very peaceful video. Thank you.🥀

[@rewilding_rose]

Mmmm that tart looks divine!

[@jessicabey275]

❤ Those dark dreary days are ucky. I am so glad that warm weather is coming!

[@da2357]

Thanks, Annie, for another great calming and inspirational video. I so look forward to your videos! Sending lots of love your way!

[@marieke1995]

I really hope to live in such a nice area like you one day. A forest nearby, maybe a lake, having a herb garden, a dog and some cats running around, spending the days with writing, reading, creating, baking and having afternoon tea with my family and friends on the weekends.

[@wendi4418]

That tart looks YUMMY!You are so lucky to have that forest to play in.

[@ricardodemattos8490]

(15:30) Oh, so beautiful (and probably delicious) pie! 🥧🌷

[@maris5279]

Thanks for the lovely video 💕💕

[@Anna_Aradia]

Shepherds! ❤

[@capturesandtravel3355]

I struggle with missing the sun in the PNW and definitely notice it affects my mood. Love that you opened up about that ❤

[@17thwhiteprince]

I truly do find your videos, especially this one, to be so calming & peaceful & relaxing.. The length of this video is perfect & it just emphasizes how you should really not rush, but rather, take it slow.. Your videos have also given me much inspiration, as I seek to learn all I can about the plants around me here.. I'm also soon venturing through thrift shops & antique stores looking to see what calls to me (I'll do my best to be cautious as well).. Here in Michigan, spring is near but is still quite cold in the mornings and tho the afternoons be warmer, the chill wind be quite brisk.. I'm still looking about for a great spot to forage weekly as well 🌤

[@danielmccann4055]

Planting hard and fast here...maybe I should take up foraging :)

[@day-dreamer1313]

The weather here has been teasing us with signs of spring. I went to Seattle today for my last Seattle trip before I move across the US, and it had pockets of sun and was just lovely. Hopefully the sun has more of a presence in the coming months for you. 💖

[@alwayscuriousalwayslearnin]

oh the joy of drawers and things sticking up blocking you from opening them then maybe the cold wet dog nose touching the face also helps lol on Dark days I find it best to get outside smell the fresh air and open up my senses to the living creatu8res all around including plant life even the clouds in the skys if it s raining the feel of the rain on my face and skin helps me connect and ground myself reminds of of all the magic everywhere that people take fore granted and probably have forgotten about. myself I have been trying to start both Valerian root( want tea to help me sleep a little better) and white yarrow the yarrow started to sprout but then all died ugg. yarrow should be very easy to grow from seed but I guess my place just isnt right for it. salmon berries and Huckle berrys where my go to when I younger when I would go for walks in the bush

[@joutavainen2920]

crazy that you don´t have snow, march is full snow month here, in lappland even april is often full snow month.. of course each spring is different, almost like a person :) if i was a snow witch, then i would be happy all through winter, sadly i´m not, northern winds another safe choice, but you can´t really choose it can you :) my february-march practice was getting to know the ice better, i now live straight on the main river, which means that long after my daily walking strength is gone the river still continues.. what i´ve found out, the ice is not evil, it (maybe he) does not want to drown you, before it cracks it usually makes all kinds of warning noises.. i think some of those that the ice has taken they might have ignored those warnings! an easy way to start knowing the ice is to do like the hares do, simply follow the shores.. that´s what i did mostly, because then at least if it cracks then you have the trees right there, helping trees, always helping.. it´s the earth witches and water witches, or people.. can you be both, maybe, i´m not.. definately earth (rarely even go swimming, if you´re water i think you would not just be happy standing on the shores).

[@Lily-qu5ci]

Thank you so much

[@Sirilere]

Thank you for the few minutes of beautiful peace and serenity. Love your dogs. Happiness to you and yours. ✨🌫️🔥🌲🍄✨🌹✨🍄🌲🔥🌫️✨

[@Das_Pepe]

Thank for your beautiful seasonal videos. Gives great motivation to get out and welcome the spring. I’d recommend the soup. Maybe you could make a „Green Nine Soup“ (if that’s what it’s called in English, German here) it gives a lot of vitality and vitamins missing during winter and helps to drive out the cold. I guess you’re familiar if not the herbs used vary from culture to culture (although always 9) but nettle, ground ivy, plantain and goutweed are part of it most of the time. Maybe you can show us your version? Good luck and happy spring

[@Laura-rx9mp]

thank you Annie. You just look so much happier in this video, Many hugs!!!

[@cherylsimmons4540]

Your music fits so nicely 😊

[@The_Wild_Witch]

Yay! I always enjoy watching your videos! They are so inspiring in such a relaxing way!

[@CozyGameNight]

What a beautiful and relaxing video... reminding me to slow down and enjoy the little things. Thank you!

[@K.Lovelace1968]

Annie, thank you for the video, I know the feeling of being down, waiting for Spring to come, I live in New York and it has been cold and gloomy for days.. I just now have little flowers popping up, a sign, like you said, that Spring is almost here but not just yet.. My hands are anxious though to work the soil, also I am ready to gaze at the cherry blossoms and smell the intoxicating scent of the lilacs... I today will be baking, your herbal bread to be exact, alongside a pot of warm bean soup.. I love your videos, they let me know I am not alone in waiting for beautiful Spring to arrive.. Take care..

[@margaretyoung4262]

Yay! Another video and a yummy one at that! Thanks ❤

[@kaitlynwhite3677]

Loved watching this

[@rebeccarippon7830]

Feeling very much the same on a grey and rainy day. But this video is a bright spot, thank you :)

[@D0J0Master]

You struggling to get the pie container out of the drawer was a little too relatable and real for me hahaha, was not expecting to get hit like that XD

[@davidprice1356]

Huckleberry tart would cheer anyone up. I like the sweeter blue huckleberries better though. Keep the faith that happier sunny days are still ahead. I love the northwest and enjoy your positive Vlog.

[@blackthornsloe8049]

Bright blessings dear ! 🌻

This was a really lovely video Annabel 🥰 I happened across it just when i really needed to relax and enjoy one of your Beautiful videos 💚Thank you so much ! Happy Spring ! 😊🌿🌿🌞🌞

Awww Grimmy's a water dog. ❤

Beautiful video. Hope everything's ok with grims back leg. Happy spring to you and the awesome doggies🌱🌞💚 many blessings

[@sanjuro66]

I know how you feel Anabelle. By California standards (San Francisco East Bay), we are usually in the 70's with sun mostly every day, as of now. But we have had mostly moderate to powerful rains and windstorms. (power outages, power wires down, multiple fallen trees, property damage...and worse) We have had only a smattering of full sun days since January. The beautiful signs of the Spring Equinox are all over the place. It's just the Winter Solstice wants to stick around a little bit longer.

[@aknudsen93]

Your baking reminded me of my grandma. She lived her entire life in NE Iowa and was always baking; pies, cookies, bars and everything. Thank you for your video, it brought back good memories. I live outside of Chicago so we have another month, fingers crossed before spring and daffodils.

[@jerianneholman1162]

A beautifully done video.. your videos are so calming.. the way you are just so one with nature is beautiful

[@johnadamski4012]

🌲🍀🐾🐕💚🦉🦌 EVERYTIME, I turn on one of your sessions, it's like I just Stepped Into Warm Rays Of SUNLIGHT ☀️🌞☀️. "ENERGY" That's what Green/Forest Witche's Bring. Irregardless of the weather to begin with. And that Tart you baked, looked so good. You should've put one of those salmon berry bloom twigs in your hair. It would've complemented that smile you had at 18:18 in the video while holding up that basket of cut nettles. You looked ANGELIC🦌🦉💚🐕🐾🍀🌲! . . . !

[@daughterofancients2584]

I've been feeling pretty sullen since January. There's been a lot of grey days where I am as well and it becomes pretty tiresome. I think baking is a great way to bring some life and love back into your space. I hope you're doing okay Annie, lots of love your way.

[@TheEmpressgoth]

Very relaxing the video was.thank you have a wonderful week

[@lilykatmoon4508]

Idk what huckleberries taste like, but that tart looks amazing!

[@isafeld]

I love your pottery collection❤

[@CarolynRose98]

If you ever find yourself in the Chelan area, I would love to introduce you to the sage and balsam of our mountains here :)

[@kira_6543]

Annie, I can feel so much emotions in Your recent videos. I send You lot of good vibes and hugs. What You do is exceptional, thank You for sharing this with us. Stay safe, take care of Yourself and keep the love and kindness. Hugs from Poland🤍

Your tart looks beautiful and your walk in the woods reminds me of mine when the snow finally leaves here in Vermont lol !! Hang in there dear I'm praying for you and spring!!

[@pmc5431]

I suppose prickles are unavoidable when foraging nettles in bare feet. 😌Glad to see it is warm enough for shoeless wandering.

[@XCleverlittledemonX]

You're Literally My Favorite Person And I've Never Met You! Hopefully I Get To Meet You One Day❤ You're Sooooo Beautiful And Your Skin Looks Soo Pretty! You've Grown Into Such A Gorgeous Young Lady Inside And Out! I Love You And Please Please Please Keep Making Videos❤

[@77stephani77]

Your dog babies are getting so big, how did you come up with their names? Thx for another relaxing video. Life throws many things at us, just catch them in your hand and blow them a way like kisses…your not alone, I see you, things will be ok, take a deep breath & put one foot in front of the other. 🥰💕

[@gypsyfirestorm]

I've never had huckleberries, but I hear they're a Grizzly Bear favorite. I'd be so worried of running into one while trying to harvest LOL

[@kinderlich]

Wish U Well. I dreamily think we should have an agricultural commodities hedge fund and trade something green of course like Wheat. That would be awesome.

[@mistersmith158]

Looks yummy love your baking segments baking is comforting to me for some reason. Hope your mood improves with the weather.

[@KiraHelenRose]

Envious that you can walk through the woods barefoot and not worry about ticks. They are rampant where I live. As well as Lyme disease carrying.

[@francislambert5189]

@3:40 ish ...having trouble haha. I like funny moments.

[@DestinyGodden]

Not much sign of spring here in Minnesota yet. Still too cold and too much snow. I’m itching to get out and enjoy nature but will have to wait a few more months.

[@christinevertrees682]

omg We have almost the same exact hand writting lol I was like "did "I" write that???" but anyway love your content and you!!!!

[@ravenh8756]

Are you able to enjoy your delicious creations now? I recall you saying a long time ago you couldn’t. They look so delicious! I hope you are well. ❤ Oh I miss salmon berries. I’m in the Midwest now and no one here has any idea how many berries we had in Oregon and Washington.

[@FirestyledSamaurai]

Ladybugs are good luck 😊

[@sarahogden3826]

Annie have you played the game Stardew Valley? It has really helped me when I’m impatient for the next season to begin. It has foraging, fishing, farming, mining, combat. Overall just a very relaxing game that feels like the PNW (where I wish I could be!)

[@ftsumnerwitchdoctor]

i guess that chest is still haunted. i hate when that happens to my drawers

[@thefox08]

I love that you wrote your recipe in cursive! I didn't think you "youngsters" even knew that style of writing. Haha! ❤

[@niknoks6387]

You need some wax on your drawer runners,it will help them slide 😊

[@EnnuiElpis]

You’re likely feeling depressed because of the lack of vitamin D you normally get from sunlight. You could try getting some vitamin D vitamins from your local pharmacy. They sell them there in bottles. It might help you feel better.

[@nonamenojane]

Annie please forgive me for asking- and feel free to just delete this comment if it's too invasive - but I am curious about foods. In some other video or two that I've seen, I know that a part of your chronic illness is related to the digestive system which made eating difficult. Basically I'm wanting to say congrats if that's going well, and forgive me for being intrusive. Ive had a good stretch of health with my own chronic illnesses and just wanted to high five you.

[@francislambert5189]

Hi.. You/ // ! How are you.?? Peace: )?
