I appreciate how in the midst of your industriousness you take time to notice ladybugs, birdcalls and the gorgeous scenery of Holmes County. Thank you for sharing that with your viewers!

[@barbarapark5432]

😂 Too funny. My name is also Barbara Park and I had just turned on video. I was like "I haven t commented". Never knew anyone who shared my name.

[@saundrawilliams1601]

Mary, I am so thankful you choose to share your life with us. You have such a calming influence on me. In such a chaotic world we are living in, the peace you bring from your little part of the world is truly a blessing. Appreciate you so much. Hugs from Southern Louisiana.

[@HPA1955]

After four difficult months; deaths and sicknesses, your videos have been uplifting for me. Thank you so much for these peaceful and inspiring videos.

[@maryglover8283]

🙏🏻

[@patriciakumar115]

Mary, you're amazing! I can honestly say that I've never washed the inside of our garage door; I've swept it with a broom, but never washed it. I'll definitely be washing it now. It's the little things, isn't it. Thank you, Mary. You are indeed an inspiration!

[@heatherderganc5984]

I agree! 😍 I probably won’t share with my husband though how she washes the inside of the garage door! 😆

[@NaomiC336]

@@heatherderganc5984I agree. Mary is the hardest worker ever.

[@patriciakumar115]

Ditto! 😂

[@annettemurielle]

What a delightful video, Mary. I especially liked that you cared enough about the birds on your property that when they were acting differently you took time out of your busy day to check on them and make sure they were okay. So kind! A week always seems so long to wait for your next video, but I'd rather have one a week than none. 🙂

[@EmmyUnwindWorld]

The fall outside cleanup and Amish Country tour combo is such a delightful experience.

[@sheilafredricks1973]

Good morning Mary!! Always look forward to Wednesdays ❤ Your home & yard are both always so clean, clutter free & beautiful. Have a good day!!!

[@dianadougherty1082]

I have over wintered geraniums several times. I dig them out , put them in a pot and trim them down. I put in my basement and try to remember to water them at least twice during their confinement ! Then in late March I put them in the garage and water a bit more. Once it gets to about 40, I put them outside during the day but bring them in overnight until it stays consistently nice. ........sounds like a lot but really isn't :)

[@graciemaca6996]

My mother always over-wintered her geraniums inside a cool room, then replant in Spring after last frost. They always thrived. She also rooted cuttings in small glasses on a windowsill to start in Spring and would gift many to family and friends. I hope yours will be successful also. Nice job on the Fall clean-up. 👍 Now you're one step closer to being ready for Winter.😊

[@river_walker]

You work so hard, it motivates me to do some cleaning around my house! Love seeing your kitties follow you around. Im a cat lover as well 🐈🐈‍⬛

[@lynn4834]

How you manage to maintain so much is beyond me. It's really nice to see how you do it. I absolutely love how everything looks. You are amazing!

[@tinapuga2600]

Mary, you will never know what a difference you make in my life. You give me the courage and energy to try so many things I thought I would never do. May you always keep doing what you do. Be blessed

[@gennesamann4323]

Like that little tool, the one I have requires two hands. This is better having one hand to gather the stems together!

[@laurelgaskill9805]

Mary is an amazing powerhouse worker. I am not sure that I have ever seen another woman work so hard. Bravo! 💥☄️⚡️

[@ellascottagecompany2044]

Would love to know the name/brand of Marlene’s little trimmer you used. That sure makes gardening clean up so much easier. Lovely to see autumn trees and such. And thanks for the reminder about the tulip bulbs! ❤

[@helenmchugh4632]

Me too

[@dorothythorpe6183]

Stihl was the brand

[@lisapeters3716]

You have really worked hard and accomplished so much. My husband and I were in your area last week, it had been a couple of years since we were there. The trees were beautiful!

[@patriciaskitch2341]

You should get yourself a little handsaw like the one your sister loaned you. You would certainly get much use from it. Another beautiful video Mary. I don’t know if your son still helps with your editing, but your videos are perfection!

[@dgbloeffler]

I have kept geraniums in brown paper bags then into a dark cool place. I was amazed at how they came out in spring. The only problem was that they were a a bit scrawny but if I kept trimming them they really came back to pretty geraniums.

[@brendahudson2816]

I didn't know that's what you do to geraniums. Wow... Learned something new. Thanks for sharing.

[@trishakrenek4171]

Good morning! As always, I love your videos! That cutting tool is exactly what I need in my life, thank you for sharing. I never knew something like that was available. Your landscaping is so beautiful. I look forward to your next video. 🧡

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

I love the look of the plants in front of your big window!! So nice come spring. It’s so rewarding to clean up the yard for winter,including the cleaning of windows etc. such a pretty time of year. God bless you and your family.

[@lorrem2539]

I was going to try to over-winter a few things this year, too. The prices of plants these days is getting too high for me on a fixed income now. I would love to have a greenhouse, but my husband isn't as skilled with building things as yours is. Well. you have inspired me to go work in my yard today, trim up my lavendar and plant my daffodil bulbs. Thanks Mary!

[@jilld8097]

My husband and I visited beautiful Holmes County in July because of you! We went to all the antique and garden stores. I was so hoping to bump into you on our adventures!😂 You are a delight! You live in a lovely community. Thank you for your inspiration.~Jill. Utah

[@livinglife8333]

Our Upper Peninsula has also been listed as one of the most beautiful places to visit for fall colors.

[@zenaidalugo7707]

Thank you Mary from New Jersey I need to go do some fall landscaping 😅 you always motivate me to tackle those not so lovable chores

[@caronlouisecreates]

My husband and I were there last week for two nights and the colors were amazing.

[@zonyasvintage7859]

It’s hard work cleaning up the yard and ground covers but has to be done. You’re a natural at it. It’s so nice to hear the birds in the trees and see the Amish countryside. You’re an inspiration 😊

[@rgvtexas8391]

I do miss the colors of the fall season but I do not miss the harsh, cold winters. I live in South Texas and our planting season has just begun. I got outside last weekend and did some cleanup including my patio area. Happy fall y'all.

[@elib7311]

That antique plant stand also makes for a pretty cake stand (until such time that you’re finished with guests and transfer cake to cake container for freshness).

[@maryanngarcia3289]

Thank you Mary for the tour of your hometown, I love the fall colors ❣️ I live in South Texas where is evergreen and Palm trees all year round, so thank you again

[@rondahoward5341]

We just had our first frost here in VA too! Although we’re in coastal Va, we drive up every year on our anniversary too see the foliage in the blue ridge. This year is 28! God never fails in His beauty!

[@kathrynriggs2489]

We, in midwest Michigan, had our first hard frost on Monday. Still get a lot of rain. However, yesterday was beautiful! Temps were in mid 70's!

[@tinasalobecke66]

Those beautiful views are just as I remember! So pretty 🍁. Isn’t it cute how the cooler weather brings out the zoomies in our cats! 😄, cute! Happy fall Mary🍁🍂

[@user-yh3zs4hy8s]

I really enjoyed your tour of the Holmes County countryside. My father sold seed to the Amish farmers in Holmes County around Dundee and other vicinities and as a kid I would ride with him to make deliveries to the farms in our "big truck". Your video reminded me of riding along on those winding roads and scenic byways. What a great memory you brought back. We lost Dad in January of 2022, but this brought back times of some of my fondest memories with him going on these trips and staying at our Amish friend's homes. Love it Mary!!

[@lfuentes4098]

I live in California and I’ve never had to remove the geraniums. I didn’t realize you couldn’t just leave them all year long in colder climates. We do get freezing temps where I live but they are usually just in Jan-March. But then spring shows up and all the perennials just start to pop out. Little surprises all over the garden. 😉

[@2010kroberts]

I awake to get some of her god sent energy .Wednesday is always a day to get encouragement from her, great ideas, she give me that push I need to keep moving forward, she's a great motivater' I adore you ms. Mary.

[@carolwaite4343]

I love the way your cat follows you around like a dog. Cats are usually so aloof & independent. But yours loves attention. ❤ Fall finally came to California, the 90s finally left. So I need to get out & winterize my garden. Love this time of year, but being from the east coast I miss the trees.

[@amyhoff1501]

I should have watched this video earlier in the day , I think it would’ve motivated me to go outside and do gardening work, I’m so lazy lately. Love 💕 watching your videos, Greetings from Massachusetts

[@patskelton4202]

The trees are so Beautiful! God sure made a Wonderful World for us !!♥️🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@brendahudson2816]

So sorry I've lost track of your videos. This one popped up and I was so glad it did. Thanks for sharing your cleaning up your landscaping. You sure keep busy and you do a fine job of keeping up with your property. Looks so nice and peaceful. You must get up at the crack of dawn to do so much. Loved how you stopped to film the ladybugs and also to investigate what was going on in the woods . The changing of the colors in your area of Ohio is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your neck of the woods. Hopefully I will start keeping up with your videos again. They're always creative, peaceful and enjoyable. Love seeing your kitty cat too. So sweet. ❤

[@anneothmer2298]

Hi Mary, I'm from Windsor, ON Canada and this year my hubby, my sister and I are planning on attending the Holiday Experience at the Community Centre and hope to see you there. My sister Patti and I are huge fans. I just love all your videos especially the makeover ones. You have such a good imagination and ideas. Can't wait til November!

[@designdoctor247]

12:29 wow! Praising God w u!!! God made a beautiful world 😊

[@debbarnett4250]

Holmes County is so beautiful in Fall. I’m from New Zealand and we are also blessed to have beautiful areas in Autumn too! Thank you for sharing Mary.

[@newagefashion5353]

Wow you are amazing. I know it would take me 30 full days to complete the work you have done.

[@beckyheinzeroth5057]

Thank you.💟 The drive through the country meant so much to me...the old familiar roads and farms that we drove by for forty years, forgive me, I get so homesick especially in the fall. South Carolina is green and turns brown and stays that way until March. Thanks again from this old Beach City girl.

[@janb2162]

Loved the opening music "Norwegian Woods"! The music goes with your camera shots. Mary your yard looks lovely with Fall color!

[@sandrarivera6301]

I miss the Fall weather so much! I live now in Puerto Rico so the weather is basically the same all year around except in the summer it’s more hotter . Thank you 😊I love everything you do Mary , God Bless 🙏🏻

[@charmdu-masby7701]

Amazing drive! WOW, no electric or security fences or 6 foot walls - incredible! We use to live like that!

[@patricia.g1651]

I use "Wet it and Forget it" or "Krud Kutter" to power wash our siding. I keep a microfiber sponge (for car washing) on an extension handle to hit any spots that need extra attention.

[@phylliscurtner5578]

I have shaken thr dirt off geraniums hung them upside down in the basement, misted them monthly and replanted them. Bloomed beautifully!!

[@kmarshall53]

That cordless trimmer looks really handy! Thanks for sharing all your cleanup and the drive - so lovely. Here in SE PA, it’s becoming prettier every day!

[@carolmaclean1356]

You're such a hard worker! 💕

[@lisafriend5535]

Holmes county is gorgeous. I can relate to the planting of bulbs, and I’m determined to get it done this year.

[@nonisnest9718]

What a lovely area you live in! We moved to North Carolina from Connecticut and I miss the intense colors in Fall. I got the biggest laugh when your cat jumped up the tree.

[@kuhlbreezegardens8663]

Great video! I overwinter my geraniums too. I staple the paper bag closed so bugs, spiders, etc do not invade the geraniums.

[@suenewsome2756]

Mary I was so in awe of the fall scenery in Holmes County while I was visiting last weekend!! It was incredible!! Thank you for sharing this on your Chanel! I stayed in the Apple Blossom Cottage and was in heaven!! ❤😮

[@chereeburtner4659]

Mary, your yard is beautiful and it's because you take good care of it! Spring will be so pretty now. You are inspiring me to do the same. I would love to come to the November happening! Sounds great.

[@terriespock5384]

Just ordered some Fall candles. Loved the country Drive and all the Fall colors. Thanks Mary, I always love your videos. My first dog I remember as a child was named Twinkle, love seeing your fur babies in your videos. Have a blessed week.

[@junethiel632]

I recall those gorgeous fall leaves while visiting Ohio on one of our business trips, about 1994 - we got to borrow a friend's red snazzy sports car, to travel from Akron to Mansfield, to meet up with several friends for dinner. We were gob-smacked by the sheer beauty of these delightful autumn colours!! Do you have the name for that lovely pink foilage plant which is up on the wood shelf in your basement - I would love one like it for my little patio area, where I live in a retirement community - in South Africa. We are only just today finally getting to feel a bit wintry down here: our summer has stretched into late autumn for us, hot weather during the day, but getting chillier overnight, with cooler mornings and late afternoons. I guess we are going straight from summer into winter......even my hydrangea is sprouting new leaves!!! 🙂

[@tammyroberts902]

Mary, great video! Your sweetness always warms my heart!

[@debbiepatrick4111]

I was in your area last week and it was absolutely gorgeous up there! I'm hoping your video gets me motivated for outside cleanup. Look forward to them each week.

[@stephaniebowlin7676]

I have one of those little handheld trimmers, and I absolutely love it!! So much better than using the big heavy trimmers….. also, I overwinter my geraniums and all I do is bring my pots in that they’re in during the summer, and leave them in my sunroom. I don’t do anything with them after that. They lose their leaves, for the most part, when spring comes, then I start watering them and set them outside. They’re beautiful every year. A few of my geraniums, I’ve had for about 10 years ❤ I’m in zone 5b

[@bluesky7226]

Ahhh, beautiful Amish country. It always looks so peaceful. Thank you for taking us there! You have a lovely collection of houseplants, Mary. Actually, the best time to repot your plants is the spring. Plants don't grow that much in the winter and the added soil could become too saturated for their roots. So sad that you had to pull out your catmint. I keep mine under control by cutting it right back after the first flowering. The bees love catmint.❤ Happy autumn to you!

[@nancyeckstein906]

I have been following you on KZbin for quite some time and love what you do. Watching the videos of you going into town or driving around the area, made me want to go to Holmes county and in September after I finished converting my van I went. It is so beautiful there. I stayed at Timberline campground in Walnut Creek for two nights and explored the area during the day. At the campground and at “The Farm” when I was asked what brought me here, I said it was watching you. Everyone knew you and if I would have asked, I think I could have gotten the directions to your house😁😁. Everybody seems to know you. You are definitely an ambassador for Holmes County and I will be back to discover more of the beautiful rolling green hills

[@jerryglover8418]

Good morning from Charleston, SC. We discovered the Berlin, Ohio area a couple of years ago. Now we look forward to going each year.

[@cathysahlfeld3924]

Roots up on the geraniums so that you can spritz with water if needed. 👌🏽

[@miknosilanooram]

Mary, you have the cleanest property in Ohio, I'm sure. I loved the ride thru Amish country. I used to l8ve in Lexington Ohio and we would drive to your beautiful area a lot. I live in Amish country now in southern Indiana but it's not quite as picturesque as your area. Our Amish are Old Order so they don't have slow moving vehicle signs or blinking lights on their buggies. Love your videos.

[@cindygray4533]

This was my day yesterday nice to sit and watch you do it😂 Love the trimmer ❤ Geraniums care for winter sounds good, can't wait to see how it works. Just picked eggs and starting my day with you, Thanks for the inspiration 🎉🎉🎉

[@CraftyAccents]

Hi Mary, I see you have a Copper Harbor, MI sweatshirt on. I am from Michigan and I've been to Copper Harbor in the U.P. as well. Isn't it a beautiful place? I enjoyed the ride through Amish country. Everything is so beautiful. Here in Michigan, the color is at peak, a lot like Ohio. I really enjoy your outdoor videos and can't wait until spring to see more of your gardening videos. You have a video where you decorated your porch, I think from a couple of years ago, and I watch it in the middle of winter, to refresh my soul and dream about Springtime again. Thank you so much for all of the work you do to bring your videos to us. I appreciate you! 🍁🍁🍁🍁❤

[@ginacrusco234]

The countryside is so pleasant and the whole pace of life seems to slow down with the horse-drawn carriages.

[@janecarrico5297]

Thank you for the fall drive In Holmes County. I had plans for doing that very thing last week but my husband fell on Oct 5 and broke his hip. He is home following surgery and rehab but it is keeping us close to home for a while longer. Your videos are always one of my Wednesday pick-me-ups.

I love your videos. Thank you for the fall Cleanup in your yard. I need to do mine. when you were taking your plants inside, I noticed I had a few of them. I have the spider plant, and it never had any babies until I watered it with boiled egg water (cooled, of course). Now it is full of babies. My girlfriend lived in the Hocking Hills and I visited her there it was beautiful.❤
