NANA NEEDS TO START HER OWN VLOG. WE NEED MORE NANA!

[@bunnifer23]

Really cool that Bert wants to build affordable housing! He’s the perfect guy to do it!

[@urika01]

I love how grandma gave us a clip..my family is a military family(moved a lot and still far away from family..that last video had my daughter and I crying because we know that feeling..) sending virtual hugs and prayers for a safe trip❤

[@nicolemitt1]

It was so sad to see your mom leave but you should continue adding your mom to the vlogs .. your garden looks amazing can’t believe how much it has grown … love your channel..

[@robingregory3829]

Loved Audrey’s singing and her song. Love that song. So sweet. Also, loved seeing your mom. So beautiful there .

[@glendaruff125]

I love that song too Audrey. You praise God with songs. I do that all the time too.

[@annacummings5841]

People always ask me how I can deal with the sun being out all the time in the summer and I tell them it's easy and that no one really sleeps in the summertime because we've spent the entire winter hibernating. One of my favorite things about living here is the midnight sun. ❤️

[@DraconZa]

Hope the Bear is OK! 🐻🥰 Poor cubs,

[@lgtu267]

I know. Mama was just protecting her babies.

[@Rathfarnham]

Its so sad, no need to shoot a nursing mother. Hope she survived and the cubs are OK.

[@josie4peace]

@@Rathfarnham Wondering how the poor cubs are doing with their mama being injured. :(

[@martha7811]

Too horrifying to think about that poor bear trying to take care of her babies after being shot. So so sad.

[@josie4peace]

@@martha7811 It is so sad to think about. I wonder why they shot her? Was she being aggressive? We've had bears in a rural area mainly wanting out bird feeders, and have been told by the DNR just to leave them alone and NOT to feed them, so they go back to their natural habitat. Never had they advised to harm them in any way.

[@zizzyzoot7033]

Loved Nana's Happy Peoples report, including the animal snippets 💖

[@Timothy-NH]

Bert, you could build some 1 car garages with studio apartments on top and 2 car garages with 1 or 2 bedroom apartments on top. With the importance of garages there, sounds like a great solution in a minimal footprint. The only downside that I see is that they can’t be ADA.

[@ninakershberg1479]

I Absolutely Love Your Family! Good Wholesome People! Your daughter was singing a hymn and said it was one of her favorite songs! How sweet is that!!! May God Bless your family and friends, ALWAYS! 🙏🏻😇😇😇😇😇🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🌺🌸

[@Gardendreamsforme]

Audrey, you brighten my day with your beautiful smile and glorious soul. ❤️

[@naomi-allisonsloane3008]

It’s so good to see you both joking about together, Audrey singing, the garden growing, and of course Nana & Papa’s insert. Thank you for sharing life and thoughts with us. I cant imagine living somewhere with such long daylight hours, I find it disorienting when I visit family in Scotland in June and they have 18hrs of daylight, here on the south coast of the uk our longest day of the year is about 15 to 16 hrs. We do not have aircon in most homes in the UK, mainly because it is rarely above 24C on average although we do get heatwaves and it can rise to 30/31C. We have just lived through a heatwave over the last week which had the upper floor reaching 27C at night! However, tonight (it’s 4am) we are being treated to the most amazing thunderstorms and torrential rain, and we are back to 20C (68F) which is pretty much the only temp we Brits like 😎 Stay safe Somers family, God Bless

[@frenchysandi]

I’m a psych nurse. I say, some people use anti-depressants I use gardening. It’s my quiet time!

[@flutterby1975]

don't water the garden or the grass in the heat of the day

[@hannahkayee831]

Yes agree! MN has been horrible. Grass can not get water for 120 days and it will come back fine.

[@bretthibbs6083]

or mow or otherwise it will burn. I'm from MN and I haven't mowed my lawn in a month or more since we've had no rain. I might have to mow it next week though we finally got a little rain last night

[@happyhorsman6398]

When we moved up here (Alaska) we loved seeing the canola fields. So pretty!

[@lauranorton3119]

So great to hear from Nana and Papa. An Awesome trip.

[@HeyitsMegan]

Nana and Papa are taking my kind of roadtrip!

[@glendaruff125]

Nana and Papa you so deserve to have a nice vacation for all your sacrifices. Enjoy!

[@amandawentzell6170]

I'm in Edmonton, province of Alberta. I love that they are having a great trip down. Nana should totally make her own little clips to be added every once and awhile.

[@nancycolbert2703]

First she should learn Alberta is a Province not a Territory. Come on Sommer family you have many Canadian supporters here.

That sweet baby of yours singing,This Is The Day! Love it ❤️❤️

[@retrodeedee4126]

It’s 1:08pm est. Your vlogs make sure I have a happy positive day. I woke up at 4am. At first I didn’t see your vlog. My morning consisted of physical & mental pain. I very much miss my late mom. Been crying. Stopped crying when I got into watching your vlog. Thank you for making my sad day into a happier more positive day.

[@fromflabtofourteener9596]

Next to year, run a drip irrigation system (via a hose), that way. you don't have to use so much time watering. And you have time for another row of radishes!

[@AlwaysGrandmaKelley]

I at 62 miss your Mom so much already. The thought of not seeing her on a semi regular basis like we have become used to. It would be such a blessing if she keeps putting snippets in your videos or have her own channel which I don't know if she wants to do while retiring BUT we will take anything more then a few times a year. WE LOVE HER AND NEED HER IN OUR LIFES AS MUCH AS WE NEED ALL OF YOU! 100° IS HOT ANYWHERE. During the summer we are on a daily basis 100° to 118° which we hide inside our apartment! But we never get as cold as you!! Love ya!

[@carole3995]

The garden looks phenomenal, we're first time gardening, so cool, glad Nana and Papa are enjoying themselves 😃🌞👍

[@melisagodair4149]

Great garden and the Nana cam was so sweet 🥰

[@gamerwifey9307]

Nana needs her own channel !! She is so cute!!!💖 it would be great to see how she is enjoying her retirement 😀 So I found this about when to water grass : To keep your lawn looking green and acting as an air conditioner during hot weather, careful watering is key. Irrigate early morning and/or late evening to minimise evaporation. But more importantly, make sure that you use enough water to really sink deep into the soil.😁

[@andreawatkins2782]

Also save and throw you're egg shells in the garden!!!

[@hannahkayee831]

I give them to my pet birds.. & even outdoor birds love them!

[@lacey428]

Probably not advisable with bears

[@glorisol3805]

Thank you Nana for the amazing video you showed us with all the beautiful animals (the moose, the deers, the black bears). I also love to see the garden, it looks awesome, very productive. Everything looks so full of life...beautiful! Audrey's contribution was lovely, so sweet! Her happiness is contagious! Thanks! I love your Denali National Park's t-shirt♡

[@sheilalopez7498]

Audrey, you've got me singing, "This is the day, this is the day....!". :)

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

Great family video, it was so nice to see Nana blogging on her trip through Canada, she and your Dad looked like they were very relaxed and happy. Blessings to all of you 🙏🙏😘❤️

[@katieboyle3921]

Great to see Nana and Papa! Garden tour is amazing! Thank you for sharing!

[@Victorious200567]

That’s amazing how your garden grew so fast. When you mentioned the sun is out for 20 hours a day. I realized of course after only six weeks you would have full grown vegetables. Im happy for your mom n dad traveling through Canada. I know how you feel about your mom not living there anymore. Mom n I sold her house. It was the house we grew up in since 1967. Today she flew to New Orleans with my brother who will take care of her for the next six months. She cannot be alone, she has dementia. God willing I can find a home in a gated community in Florida and bring her back to live with me. Today I was feeling sad not being with her after being with her everyday for 16 months. Looking forward to new chapter in our lives. Thanks for sharing. God bless.

[@keri-annkemp4259]

Yes, your turnips are supposed to grow above ground. It's looking amazing and very yummy

[@deborahhuckaby4623]

Clear to see they're having fun.

[@ionecuff6323]

Nana did an awesome job with her "Happy Peoples Report". I do worry about them getting through the heat with no AC in her car, that is scary. Keep lots of ice water handy to wet towels and put around their necks and also lots of ice water to drink. Prayers going out for them to have a safe trip home filled with wonderful adventures and memories. I miss her already. God Bless You All! (Hopefully our Arizona temps won't be above 110 F when they get into our state).

[@TheTiggerpoo1]

Your garden is BEYOND AMAZING!!!!!!!

[@nickialaskanyogi]

I grew a 72lb cabbage 2 years ago!! Great job Jessica! And in Alaska the sun travels in a slanted 360* circle, in the sky, so even if it’s below the horizon, it’s barley below it for a long period. That means even if the sun isn’t visible, we still receive very bright twilight that can last for hours until the sun comes back up! Another reason we need extra vitamin DDDDDDDD!

[@sjv1005]

I feel the same way when I'm in my garden. Looking great!

[@AutomaticStereo7]

Hey! I just wanna say you guys are so great. Bert said he needed to get the rental on the market because someone needs it. Not just to make more money. That someone needed a home. Such a great way to be. ❤️

Where I am in Wisconsin our summer phrase is "cooler near the lake". Generally about a 15 to 20 degree difference when you go inland. I love Lake Michigan!

[@MinnieStitchMom]

Hi Jessica and family! Thank you for sharing your garden. Wonderful job! I don’t have one as large as yours, but a couple years ago I started spreading out my seeding, doing 3 batches of planting, and spacing them by two weeks (first planting in mid May, second beginning of June, third mid June). This way, my crops come in, in three waves which elongates my harvest season a little bit which is super nice. I do this for things like lettuce, carrots, etc. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life in Alaska!

I really enjoyed hearing Audrey sing This Is The Day. Not sure if that is the correct title. Her little snippet are always fun to see. Your garden is doing awesome. I enjoyed Nana's snippet of how their journey is going. They are really seeing some wildlife! We live in the southern area of WV where we see deer and an occasional bear. Three years ago we had a black bear in our back yard which is rather rare.

[@mamaceleste153]

Planted my Wisconsin garden around June 15. I am currently harvesting snap peas, cherry tomatoes, jalapenos, and yesterday for my first green pepper! My potatoes look fabulous. So do my broccoli, cauliflower, and squash. My mom is harvesting zucchini already. We pick them young and tender. What would sunflowers look like in the Midnight sun? Mine are over six feet tall. I bet your would be MASSIVE. Gardening is my therapy and it sounds like it is becoming yours. Thanks for posting the garden. I love seeing other peoples hard work and home grown produce.

My Brother-in-Law grew up in North Pole Alaska down the street from Santa Claus House many years ago. He was an all state wrestler at North Pole HS. His family (Keller Family) moved to other areas in the US, but he does have a brother or two who are still in your area. I always enjoyed hearing his stories about living in Alaska.
