    Hi Mary - I love to watch you work around your property, it gives me inspiration to get outside and work in my own garden! I'm here in Boise, ID and the calendar says it's spring, and the hyacinths, daffodils, and tulips are beginning to bloom and the forsythia are now in full bloom... that's always an indication that spring is here, but the weather is still very cool and unpredictable. I too can't wait for the trees to be green again. I love watching your husband build the rock walls and stairs, etc. He makes it all look so easy and does such fine work. Love your videos and your kitties, they are so loved❤

  • @donnahawkinsharper8344
    @donnahawkinsharper8344 Рік тому

    Watching your lovely videos always brings me such joy. I really need to get out & pick up all my sticks too, and empty the leaves out of the beds & other places they collected from blowing winds. Have a wonderful weekend. Hopefully it will warm up more. I live in the mountains of Western North Carolina & it’s still cool here today & rainy. Trees just have a few buds. In the valleys the trees are that lovely shade of spring green. It’s slowly moving up the mountain. See you again soon. 😊❤😊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

    Hi, this is one of my favorite of your videos! Watching Twinkle was a joy, he seems so happy and playful, and I got a kick out of him getting on top the arbor. Probably he is lurking for birds, I hope he doesn’t catch any (sorry, Twinkle!) 😂
    I was very curious about Dandelion Gravy! I’d never heard of that, although I know how to fix greens like wilted lettuce with bacon onion and vinegar, etc…and my mom taught me to bread and fry the blossoms! My VERY picky husband who won’t eat ANY vegetables will eat fried dandelion blossoms because he thinks they taste like fried morels! (I think they taste more like fried cauliflower.
    Anyway, this was a fun and very interesting video and I plan to tell my mom how you fixed your dandelion gravy, as she makes a dish of boiled eggs in a white sauce and this would just be adding some more things to that. Sounds delicious.
    Sorry for the long comment and happy Spring! ❤

    This time of the year is always hit or miss with the weather. I love getting my garden ready for the coming season. i am a bit late this year as we are getting some work done in the house so we can sell and move to the countryside. I will miss my garden here but i know i can make a new one in our new place. I love your garden Mary its so beautiful. the periwinkle is a plant i have in my garden too it is right underneath a shrub there isn't much in competition with it there. The garden is what sold me on this house we are in right now and the clincher for my hubby was the man cave in the basement with a bar there. I rarely drink alcohol but we host a party at Christmas time for our friends every year. I am hoping they are going to come out to our new place fingers crossed, maybe they can stay for the night then. i am sure we will have the space for that. i will have a place to put my horse too so i don't have to pay someone else for boarding. Always lovely to watch your videos and see how you and John and the family are doing. Take care Mary and God bless you.

    Mary, this video is really like a breath of Springtime. I live in Ohio also, about 3 hours from you. As a 72 year old widow I sometimes feel overwhelmed with the Springtime clean-up in the yard. I was inspired to tackle the fallen leaves in my flower beds when I saw how you and John used a tarp to move the leaves.
    Thank you also for the dandelion gravy recipe. I have an abundance of ingredients for it.😊
    God bless you and your family❣

    Loved it, Mary! I have to get to work outside today. Shrubs to trim, limbs to pick up, mowing to do, pond to clean out... The list is never-ending with better weather starting to arrive. I'm in western PA, probably not that far from you, so our weather is comparable to yours. You are so lucky to have your husband and sons to help. My husband died last September and my son lives in Columbus, OH, so I am on my own this spring. I have been watching your videos for a while now, and I really enjoy them. Take care, and enjoy this beautiful weather!
