The pin that Philip got from Arizona was actually made in New Mexico by the Zuni Indian tribe. It’s a hummingbird with the four direction colors of blue turquoise, white shell, jet black, and red quarrel. The hummingbird, although very small is very mighty. Kind of like your little dogs. 💗🥰 Hummingbirds are considered warriors, therefore will bring you protection.

[@margaretmeyer2475]

[@boessheila50]

Brian has been a great addition to the Lalande family. I was wondering if the mushrooms are poisonous if Galahad was to eat one? 💜🦝

"Bring it on!", "You make, I wear!" Steph's mom is really lovely!

[@vickielibby7006]

The broach looks hopi or zuni made The Zuni tribe believe that hummingbirds bring the gift of long life to those who respect their power, while the Hopi tribe believe that hummingbirds are powerful allies of warriors in battle. The Navajo tribe believes that hummingbirds represent love and offer protection to those who seek it. Hopi legend speaks of the hummingbird as intervening on behalf of the Hopi people to convince the gods to bring rain. Even today hummingbird feathers are highly prized and used ceremonially and in dance costumes. All hummingbird Kachinas are depicted with green masks and green moccasins. It's a lovely gift.

[@SharonWalker-q2s]

Such a joyous episode. I couldn’t stop smiling - especially the hide and seek game with Galahad. It’s always lovely having mummy and Percy at Lalande. It’s fabulous that people are still remembering and celebrating the life of Lancelot. I was devastated when he passed so suddenly and missed him a great deal. I was elated when Galahad was brought into our lives. My two poodles love watching him xxxx

[@northcarolinagirl]

I don't think there is a prettier vlog on KZbin. It definitely brightens us up here in the state of North Carolina in the US. We have had so much damage from Hurricane Helene from our coastline to our mountains. Our mountains especially hard hit. Thank you for making this vlog sweet with your jewelry gifts and kind love for each other. I'm excited about the bulbs you were gifted. I can't wait to see them bloom. The work on the fountain area beginning makes my heart smile. The hummingbird gifted to Phillip is pretty as can be. When my husband was in the Air Force, we were stationed in Phoenix, AZ and saw many a hummingbird there mostly in the mountains of Flagstaff. I want you to know that I did get rid of my husband after seeing the chocolate cake!!!! Much love to you all till next time.

[@wendy-moore]

Pro tip ~ buy both sweaters - the blue and white.

[@bigblackdogfiberarts]

Phillip is correct about the hot water bottles. If you look in the neck there will be a year stamped on it with a daisy wheel around it. There will be dots on the petals. The number indicates the year it was manufactured and the number of dots indicates the month. Generally, it is a good idea to replace them around 3 yrs from manufacture to avoid them possibly breaking or leaking from deteriorating. Natural rubber does not keep forever.

[@carolinegooder7091]

Neville secretly started to build up Navy and the army six months before declaring war. They have found documents not made public, and he was trying both to get Pease and prepare for war. It's almost impossible when your population is still exhausted from WWI.

[@barbaraharrison6256]

@Stephanie Jarvis. When you visit Marrakech in November you and your mother should make time to visit two gardens: 1) Jardin Marjorelle, include a ticket for the lovely Berber Museum (small but perfectly formed). 2) The Secret Garden - a relatively new, but now well established, garden in a much more Arabic style. Both well worth a visit and a calm escape from the oft times chaos of the city. Don't forget to pack/wear layers, not forgetting water proof coats and sensible shoes. It can get very cold, especially at night, and it can also rain heavily in the winter.

[@technologyt.angela.8150]

My all time favorite garden is at Villa D'este in Italy. Like being in a dream, it's so beautiful.

[@valerielester7210]

The pots are gorgeous. You can put a little acrylic paint ,maybe gold or green? Over the black.

The copper pan with round indentations is an egg poacher

[@barbaraharrison6256]

No. I don't think so because eggs are traditionally poached in a pan of swirled deep boiling water. A modern egg poaching pan would have the cups (indentations) above/immersed in the water. It is possibly for escargot.
