The Rainy Season Is Here...

[@susans7091]

I love hearing what you have written in your gentle voice. At least I think it is what you have written? Love your wreath! Love watching you train Freya so gently.

[@laurareutter6928]

It might be nice for the pup to have her own place to lie down inside that’s just a folded blanket or carpet scrap. Doesn’t have to be an expensive dog bed. Redirect her from your bed to her new soft spot. Your training is paying off, good job!

[@Amanda-vz9kr]

Sundays are my favorite day of the week because of your videos! Freja looks so big and we can clearly see how sweet and how eager she is to get the commands right! Also Dana, hope you're doing well during the pregnancy :) all the best for all of you!

[@WildWeRoam]

Aw, thank you so much, Amanda!! I am still doing great and feeling grateful, every day feels like a new experience, it's fascinating how the body adapts and changes :) And yes, it is so crazy how much she has grown and learned in the past few months!! Thank you so much for hanging our with us, and sending you our love xx

[@karafolkerts]

all these years following your many adventures and you both are still some of my favourite people on youtube. everything about you both is so genuine, wholesome, kind and loving. I learn so much through how you both view the world, and it's BEAUTIFUL.

[@reneldasecatero5523]

I love ur reef girl sooo bomb🎄♥️♥️♥️happy joy and a great new year to come. Congratulations on baby.♥️♥️♥️🥰

[@JP-NL]

Freya has gotten so big I can’t believe she is growing so fast! Her fuzzy puppy coat is already gone. What a beautiful wreath you made I love all the tropical plants that I have never seen before.

[@WildWeRoam]

Thank you!! Ha I am so glad at how the wreath turned out, too! And yes it is so true, it is crazy to look back at old photos and videos of her and see how much she has changed in such a short time! Still such a cutie :) Thank you for taking the time to write this nice message, and sending you big hugs! xx

[@JP-NL]

@@WildWeRoam Thank you for the calming and entertaining videos. And indeed still very cute, but that’s something that won’t ever go away. Happy holidays!

[@gracedavid4235]

Wow -- Freja is getting so big. It's good seeing her doing some running loose on her own.

[@SweetHopeCookies]

Lou, you’re doing incredible with the bread baking! It took me nearly two years to get an ear like that! What a lovely holiday video….the wreath, the meal, the hanging of the lights, family visiting, and that glorious baby bump!

[@ccjohncc1]

You guys make a great 💑 couple and after listening to the video intro I think you could make a good poet or writer.

[@misterosc]

Last year I made my own wreath with a cardboard circle stuffed with newspaper and some twine, added some pruning leftovers around the twine and it looked great, at the end of the holidays I just tossed it in the fire. All natural, recycled and no need to buy anything

[@frugivorebear]

That feast and the beautiful decorations. Nice to see you living creatively. Happy Solstice!

[@WildWeRoam]

Thank you so much, Frugivore Bear (what a cute username, too!!) Happy Solstice to you as well!! Sending our love!! xx

Awwww this is such a cute video.♥️♥️♥️

[@karenthomas1456]

I'm rewatching some of your videos late at night, as I often do because you're so calm and soothing. (Between you guys and Sadia @ Pick Up Limes - who needs meditation? 😊) I would love to know the recipe for that gravy you used here - can you please put it in the cook book? 😉) xxxx

[@ozzy7555]

my favourite part of sunday afternoon has arrived!! I’m pouring my giant mug of coffee and grabbing my kitty to cuddle up and watch this as i type

[@WildWeRoam]

Aw, thank you so much!! It honestly makes my heart so warm and fuzzy to know that hanging out with us with a nice mug of coffee is part of your Sunday :) That is such high praise!! Thank you, and sending all our love!! xx

[@ZuriDsWellness]

I so Luv and appreciate the way you tell a story. It makes me wanna get under the covers with a flashlight 🔦 and listen for hours. Kudos on your Journey. 😘🦋🤗

[@monacurkovic9420]

love your scenery.

[@aurab6251]

Ah that introduction, Dana, so poetic! Great writing.

[@saraflanagan2717]

What a beautiful video!

[@kayteiverina3877]

The way you narrate your videos is beautiful, it's like poetry ♥️

[@autumngreenleaf3390]

Oh, I am living vicariously right now. I have had a terrible time learning how to cook for a long time, and to see what wonderful bread you are having, I am just thinking of how good it must be. The rain is hard to live with, and we have it all year around here, with the heaviest of it right now. I've lived in it for years and I would never survive if I didn't think of the positive traits it has. Some people in my county are still cleaning up from the torrential rains which brought flooding, so it can be overwhelming some times. Love the patches and you've given me an idea of maybe making my own personal patch. That would be fun.

[@MandaFandaa]

Watching Lou prepare that bread was so relaxing. Also Dana, your wreath and other wall hanging is gorgeous.

[@cirelo1896]

I felt so nostalgic watching you hang out your laundry. I used to live in the tropics and during rainy season I just got used to slightly damp mildewy clothes, nothing ever had time to dry properly!:) ironing helps on the underwear though! Weird but true!

[@stephanielee370]

It looked like a lovely feast! I totally get the laundry situation. I live in an apartment and felt the need to get a washing machine when the pandemic made going to laundry mats dicey. However, I don't have dryer and it does take forever for things to dry when the weather is overcast or cold.

[@kmarshall53]

I was so saddened to see Kihei (where I lived 2016-2019) in such a mess. Happy to know you upcountry folks were okay. Lovely video - I’m so glad you get to have family visit! 💗

[@suzstancova4220]

Every Monday morning I am looking forward to your video! Cheers from rainy and cold Belgium!

[@BirchMaster5000]

Love your wreath! As things dry they tend to shrink so as long as you secured it tight it should hold up, but the leaves may become brittle as they dry. Beautiful either way!!

[@vanessafraser5463]

Your words are beautiful Dana! I love what you voice over in every video

[@barbaracourtens]

I joined your Patreon yesterday and I really love the Creative Corner! Thank you for always inspiring me on a creative level 😃 It makes me want to create more things myself!

[@lydiannacirilo1987]

So excited I joined the Patreon. I’ve followed you guys for a few years now and I’m sorry I’m starting so late. Hope your holidays are amazing! 🥰 much love from TX!

[@manonb8129]

Ahhh such a calm and nice vlog, loved it!. It really touched me what Dana said in the end, that she liked it here. Freya is growing up so fast!! have a lovely Sunday in Hawaii

[@WildWeRoam]

Aw, thank you, Manon :) Always so nice to hear from you!! Sending you our love xx

[@nunya257]

Omg German Shepherds. They have to be involved in everything. Love those exhausting sweeties.

[@luisavelez2110]

So calm and wonderful ❤

[@gentlygrace]

I absolutely love Dana’s words at the beginning. Beautiful.

[@stephaniesturgeon5591]

The sound of that wind helps us understand how important it is to get the laundry washed & hung up to get dry after all them rainy days! And all that walking u did I see how that nap was much needed😉. Nice wreath & lights & dinner look so festive🎄. ☺👍✌

[@WildWeRoam]

Ha it certainly was! Thank you so much, Stephanie, really glad you like the wreath and decorations, too :) Surprised ourselves with how well they turned out, ha! Hope you are having a lovely Sunday! Sending big hugs xx

[@luisavelez2110]

What recepie do you use for the bread? Its would ve amazing to see a bread video once 😍😍😍

[@desiree55196]

Your feast looks delicious 😍 lovely video as always Dana and Lou 🥰🖤

That wreath is GORGEOUS! Okay continue watching. .

[@cindygagnier2250]

Those wreaths are so pretty!!

[@moonshine4049]

You both seem so content and happy. It really shows through. Freya is an amazing pup. She is so smart and eager to learn. BTW. What did Lou put in the Wellington? This was a lovely calm video. Thanks for sharing!

[@heatherzstuff3768]

Im glad you guys are ok. I was watching the news and wondered if the weather had affected you. I watch your videos alot Glad you are ok

[@christinamontano11]

So nice. Your bread looks amazing. Do you have a good starter recipe ? I have been wantng to start making sourdough.

[@franziskadodl6601]

Hello little bump! Watching both that, and Freya grow every week is so exciting! 😊

So lovely to have the holidays in a beautiful tropical location. Conversely, it’s cold here in NH 🥶 Glad you fared well with the rain & flooding.

[@karylm23]

I enjoy these calm days full of the little things. How are you feeling throughout your pregnancy? How are you adjusting and preparing for your littlest Wild One?

[@user-yh7vd5fq3c]

What a cosy vlog 🤗. Have to ask- your bodys must be less sore living in a house- back aces and so on 🥴? Have you noticed any difference in health since moving into a house vs a car/ boat in that perspective? 😅 Best wishes from a snowy sweden! 🌟

[@andie83]

That bread 😍😍😍 I can smell it from here! I'm jealous of the impossible sausages though, they look soooo good but I've not found them in the UK yet.

[@WildWeRoam]

Ha thank you!! Something about bread just smells comforting, right?? And yes, we are so excited about these sausages! It is so cool to have them as an option. Really hoping they or a similar product become available for you in the UK sometime soon!! Sending big hugs xx

[@maureencoleman9248]

Love your decorations. Puppy needs a cozy bed of her own

[@daniamsalem]

Whispers, “Is that your magical bread?!” I really want to get into sourdough now 🥖🤤

[@ZwiftingWithGranny]

Dana, Lou, regarding Freya, are her hips or spine OK? Look at the video. When she walks, she arches her back and her rear goes down as if she has to compensate for something. I know GSs are known for hip dysplasia so I just thought I'd mention it. I so respect the life you two, and now four, have creatively created. Thank you for your videos.

[@laurieanne9712]

With all the rain, have y'all had problems with snakes? Love your wreaths & kudos to Lou's breadmaking!

[@KarolynHerreraBookEditor]

Very calming video. Can't believe how big Freya has gotten! And she's doing so well with her training. Glad to see your pregnancy coming along just fine :) Omigosh - fresh pineapple is the best treat there is. Yum! Unrelated question: I noticed you never talk about what Lou does for work. Does he have a job there?

[@missprettyonabudget]

Thank god all is well sweet family! We were keeping you in our hearts and prayed that your area stays safe and sound🌤🌤🌤 The weather here has been funny too- we had 27 Celsius on Friday, felt like summer. Luckily no bad tornadoes hit Oklahoma this time but my friends in KY and AR suffered 🌪🌪🌪 major ones. Dana I tried the hanger wreath it is not supportive either as I tried making one couple of years ago just FYI. I think yours turned out beautiful and I have a feeling the green will last longer than you think. I loved how the sourdough bread turned Lou yesss, I am still struggling with a starter so I am not attempting one yet. Not sure how to make one as I start and it all smells like acetone most times so I just make white bread instead. Any advice will help so much! Dana I love the bump too! Not sure if on your list but please if you can, make a pregnancy video, youga foods to eat, also supplements that you take, that will be so mu help to me as we are also trying. I lost my mom 17 yrs ago and it will be hard to pick the phone and call anyone for advice, sorry I am opening up on this matter but I feel you all close enough to do so! My 3 close friends - each in different part of the world now are expecting in 2022 all of them girls, what a joy that is. Any how, this week I will surprise some students at work for Christmas, as they are foreign as well and will not be able to spend time with their families. So I am stepping out to bake some cookies and prepare small gifts for them. Me and Stan are wishing you a beautiful week, and looking forward to the next video! Love from Oklahoma!!!

[@adnanabdillahghifari720]

Speaking of rainy season, be sure to get not only your umbrella, but also a dry bag, rain jacket, flashlight, and also stay positive. It’s better to be extra prepared and dry than be wet and sorry later on.

[@WildWeRoam]

Those are such good points!! Thank you, Adnan ❤️ Your advice reminds me of a German phrase that Lou's grandma always says--there is no such thing as "wrong" weather, only the "wrong" outfit choices! Hope you are having a beautiful day :) We are sending you big hugs xx

[@Deb_Creamer]

@@WildWeRoam ahhh, I was moaning to my primary Dr a few years ago while pregnant with #8 (I was 43 years at the time) about the weather and such and it was too cold to get out. He gently said, "there's no such thing as bad weather, just poor clothing choices" 🙃. We're in Colorado and it's so true.

[@Lili-xq9sn]

Laundry will still dry hanging on the lanai when it's raining...but not super heavy things like jeans.

[@annamudd6466]

Beautiful video as always, and I appreciated your important framing about how quickly we can adapt the formerly unprecedented to a new normal. It got me thinking that I’ve been watching your channel for years, and I’m not sure I’ve heard you guys explicitly talk about climate change and impending climate chaos / crises. As the mother of a 6 year old, this reality orients pretty much all my thinking / activism / planning and anticipation. Your lifestyle is clearly geared towards a very light personal footprint, and ability to live without some of the systems that will collapse - but also it seems so clear that without systemic collective action and organizing to demand that larger systems and powers that be (government, corporations) respond to, and plan for, climate realities - we will be facing massive suffering, especially among the formerly colonized parts of the world. And facing a time too when the window to ameliorate what we’re walking into - will it be 1.5 degrees? 3? 4? Is fast shifting, and we will have to answer to the next generation for what we did and didn’t do during this time - this is what I think about day in, day out as a parent. I've found a lot of grounding through connecting with folks like Sunrise Movement, Power Shift Network, Extinction Rebellion, Corporate Accountability, Mothers Out Front, and local networks for food, water, and energy justice and security. Would love in a video to hear how you and Lou are thinking about this, especially as you prepare to bring a new person into this world. It’s wonderful that you are setting yourself up for off the grid self sufficiency - are you also connecting to collective action and anticipation around climate? How are you thinking about all this stuff? Lots of love and appreciation for you guys.

All that wheat doesn’t bother Lou’s arthritis? 🥺

[@earthangel8730]

Interesting way to pose a question. Not. Do you think Lou is 8 and can't take care of himself? Is he complaining? Is he stiff and limping around? No! I have serious arthritis and avoiding wheat did NOTHING to alleviate it. You do you and let Lou do Lou. He's a big boy.

[@WildWeRoam]

Hi there! Thanks both for asking :) Indeed, we have a video planned in the works where Lou will talk more about that!! But it will come out sometime in the new year, hopefully before spring... need to plan our 2022 calendar out a bit, ha! sending you both lots of love xx

[@sweetpea5539]

@Earth Angel Aren’t you precious?? 😒 wheat bothers some arthritic people. I don’t know if he isn’t one of them, if small amounts are tolerable or if the fermentation process involved with making sour dough bread perhaps makes a difference. Having enjoyed their journey from the start, years ago, and watching Lou thrive and struggle along the way, I was curious. I also have chronic pain and ask questions to understand. Go troll someone else 🥰

[@sweetpea5539]

Super interesting!! I know some people tolerate European wheat strains better than American strains. Others find it’s not bothersome. I’m interested to understand from Lou’s perspective, which was why I asked. I too have chronic pain and learning from others can help build a broader picture for health. Thanks!!

Have you considered being a life coach?

[@earthangel8730]

Put something on your bed to discouraged the pup. Some of that chicken wire perhaps. After a couple weeks the pup will associate the bed with the wire and stay off. Also... consider raising the bed off the floor. Why breathe all that floor debris? A simple platform at least 24 inches or more would be more enjoyable and healthy and provide lots of storage space underneath. You definitely don't want a baby on a low bed like that.
