Amanda you work so hard and a pleasure to watch and listen to. Thank you so much. Peach is lucky to have you. Stay Safe❤
Thank you so much 🧡🧡🧡
Success! Thank you for sharing the whales...and Peach. She has a sweet life with you...even if she has to be on leash every so often.
I agree :). I have to remind myself of that when she doesn't get to wander as much as she'd like. I think she's pretty happy here... she's with me 24x7 and I think dogs are happiest when they are with their people. Thanks for watching!
You are a brave lady. I admire you a lot.
It was so nice to see the spouts from the whales and the other boats. 🐳
Nice to see Peach is feeling more secure in the water 🐟
You sure do keep things Lovely on that property🪣🧽
A relaxing finish to this busy day for me
Thanks for sharing….until next time 🍑🧡
Peach seems to be very well behaved when confined or on a leash. Speaks well to her obedience training.
Hi Don! Yes, she really is such a good girl. Her trainer was pretty awesome!
@@AmandaOffGrid Take a bit of the credit yourself. Peach could have easily regressed without your gentle reinforcement. It’s a team effort.
Love the whale shots, beautiful scenery! Enjoy your week!
Always a pleasure to watch. So Peaceful.
yay! i am so glad :)
You go girl! Love your channel. Beautiful place....thanks for sharing 😊
This video is so clear looking! New camera? Everything looks so nice! You work hard, the property owners are fortunate to have you!
Really :)!? No, same old camera. Maybe it's the bright sun... haha!! It's not often we get that here :)!! Thanks for watching!
What a great life you've given Peach 🧡
Thanks so much for taking the time to showcase your daily adventures, Amanda! Hi to you and Peach from Newfoundland and Labrador, and always thinking of Buttercup!
thank you!!
Your right about the heat on the coast, it's 21C and it feels so hot! Thanks for showing us around and showing us the Whales and the guitar music was cool!
yikes!! our high so far this week has been 16. I kinda love the cooler temps :). thanks for watching!
Enjoy your content so much, good to see both of you and you do work very hard, the owner is very lucky to have you as their caretaker for the property, it is beautiful ❤️
I am so glad you enjoy the videos :)! It is a beautiful property. I feel very lucky to be able to experience it every day :)!
Wonderful living Amanda, you're such inspiration for young generations to free from imperialism of Government,
How many year did living like this? This is Game Changer
Your Way of Life is such Masterpiece
Bravooo 👍👍🐞🐞🐞🥰
wow, thanks :). i have been living here for almost 3 years now and before that i was on my boat for 8 years :).
I also enjoy cooler the weather!! Love that you are sharing all this beauty with us! 🙏💕🙏
Hopefully the weather improves for the vacationers to enjoy the water more. Sending love to you and peaches! 🤗
The best Channel for Sunday, for me. 😊
Aw, poor Peach being put inside or on leash - like trying to contain a tempest in a teacup! Glad to see her getting her paws wet and expanding her comfort zone.
Thank you for sharing your life with us!! You’re one of my favorites!!
Very enjoyable video. Always so peaceful.
Thanks for watching 🧡!
Hello Amanda & Peach
Happy Summer Sunday 🌞🪵🌱🦋🐝🐞
I love the peaceful nature of your vlog. Very relaxing and well done. Thank you! Have a peaceful week.
Hi, Amanda, I loved seeing Peaches in the water!! Those deers are awfully nice. Cheers and have a wonderful week 😊
Amanda thank you for sharing your life with us
Omgosh way ta go Peach!! She did awesome in the water. It’s so fun to watch them explore and build confidence. You’re doing amazing with her Amanda. She’s a lucky girl to have you. 💕
haha! she did! i was so pleased with her. she may not swim this summer, but i have a feeling she will eventually. i also think she won't ever want to get out of the water. she LOVES chasing sticks and going in the water :)
well that’s pretty convenient and important if you take to the ocean in your boat again. So glad it’s going well 🤗
Hello Amanda and Peaches, another very nice video from you once again. You should get one or two game cameras and set them up to take pictures of whales, that way you wouldn't miss any and maybe some bears as well. Always working, I think it's time you do a cooking video for us either on the stove or over an outdoor fire. Whatcha think?
That's a good idea. They'd have to be pretty good cameras. I always have to zoom in a lot to get any kind of shot. A cooking video? Hmmm... I'll think of something. We have a fire ban here so no outdoor fires - maybe in the winter :)
Great seeing you again in the beautiful landscape you both live in...Hope you are both well Amanda...Love from Edinburgh 🙂
hi :). doing great! thanks for watching :)! 🧡🧡🧡🧡
I injoy watching your videos you work so much I hope you get to injoy time with peaches
Thank you Mary :) 🧡🧡🧡🧡
I’m headed to port Townsend Saturday I’ll wave your way. 😉❤️
I love your presentations!
Thank you :). Thanks for watching!
Yay... Amanda and Peach are back!
If Peach wasn't on leash, would the guests be afraid of her?
Peach doesn't trust people. Strangers cannot approach her. It takes about a week for her to trust someone enough to let them even touch her and that's if they behave in a very specific way (ignoring her, pretending she doesn't exist, not making eye contact etc.) Trusting humans is one of the 'issues' she came with. We're working on it though :)
Hello Amanda, happy to see you and Peach again, missed seeing you last week. I know you were busy with guests but you’re like family to me. I worry when I don’t see you. Please take care and I’ll be excited to see you next week.❤️
Good to be back! Yah when there are guests here it's difficult to film and tbh it's a bit too much work on top of my freelance stuff and duties here :).
Hi Amanda 😮 Peach got into the water.But not over her head.🐕My brothers,3 dogs get in the water every day.They only go in about half way.Its always cold mountain fresh water.Have a good week.
I am hoping she'll eventually get swimming. I think she'll love it! It's also great exercise when I can't get her moving around the property b/c of the animals around :).
Just Love watching and catching up on what you are up to. God Bless
We could use some of that cool weather. High 90°f + some days 102°f. Not complaining though there are people in worse shape than us. I love your videos and look forward to seeing what you and Peach are doing. Wishing you all the best.
Woah!!! that's hot. The hottest weather I've ever been in was Pheonix (on my way to Mexico) and it was about 109-ish and I couldn't stand it :). I wish I could send you a bit of our cool weather!
Those whales are SO COOL
BTW- cold and rainy in Switzerland today too.
Those whales go on all day like that. I like it when guests are here as they are so thrilled to sit on the deck and watch them :). Reminds me not to take the fact that I get to see them every day for granted!! Stay warm!
Looks like you enjoy the fantastic machinery for all the tasks you are assigned to. You seem to be very confident with them all. Would love your life, and do enjoy your stories living there. Peach is really a great dog to have around as a companion. Regards from South Africa.
hi susan, thank you so much for watching :)! Peach is pretty great - she loves being outside here. i always feel so bad for her when she has to come inside while i work :). thanks for watching!
Hi Amanda nice to see you and Peach, We in Ontario have a 29 c ,feels like 33 all summer so far. Always awesome to see the deer especially the fawns very cool what the one did to protect the others. One thing about your weather .. no bugs . awesome to see the whale footage , bet its better in person. You certainly have one awesome job being able to live and look after this beautiful place , thanks again love the content .
Hi Sue... that's true. There aren't very many bugs around here. I saw my first mosquito yesterday. There are a lot of bees though feeding off all of the buttercups that are popping up everywhere. We haven't had many bears so there are tons of buttercups and dandelions everywhere! Yes, the whales are always better in person for sure!
Thanks for the whale footage. That’s pretty amazing
🧡🧡🧡🧡
Really enjoy your videos Amanda and Peach..thanks for sharing and stay safe.
Aaahhh, must b Sunday, time for a relaxing video from Amanda & Peach!!! That was great video of the whales! Thank u 💜🕯😊
You're too kind. One of these days I'll snag some great whale footage - hahaha!
Really! We’ve been cooking at 100-114 degrees here in South Carolina everyday for weeks going on months now🌺
ohmagosh!! that's freakin' hot!! wowsers! i can't imagine!
Hi Amanda and Peach!
🧡🧡🧡
Excellent whale footage. A big thank you to you!!
You caught the whales! I love that. …😊… I hope you realize, Peach is a real happy girl to have you as her owner. Even tho you have to restrict her from running into the forrest and other things, she’s really lucky to have that LOVELY property as her home, and more importantly, to have “You” 😉… Thanks for the lovely video. Stay safe Amanda.
yes! there are many to get... just so far away :(. I hope Peach is happy :)
@@AmandaOffGrid Ah hun, Peach is a VERY happy girl!
I’m headed to port Townsend Saturday I’ll wave your way. 😉❤️. I loved the speed cleaning. I need to clean my craft room so I think I’ll speed it up like that. lol 😂❤
cool! i'll wave back :). wouldn't it be great if we could speed up the jobs we don't really want to do like that :)?!
@@AmandaOffGrid I hate doing dusting and now it’s falling down on me with cobwebs, spiders and everything yuck I hate that worse I think but if I could speed up the dusting and getting my house all clean, that would be nice. I like your idea❤️
Great to be in nature and away from the city
yes!!!
Wishing you and Peach a happy week!
Thank you! You too!
Hi Amanda. I live on the Hood Canal in Washington State. We’ve had killer whales here for several weeks. Right now we are having a heat wave. Makes me miss the cold June weather! Love your videos. Mowing the lawn I have the same feeling about letting it go.😊
that's amazing!! the ladies that were here saw orcas last week, but i missed them. last year they arrived very late here so it's good that they're around. i love cooler weather. it's so much easier to work in and it's much more comfortable in general. Thanks for watching!
Same with temperatures.
I loved seeing the whales.
Do you like working outside or inside the most. I'm thinking the outside. You are a natural. Very hard worker. Great video.
Wow ! I need to put your video on and go clean my own kitchen ! As always , a pleasure . 👋🌹
Very hot on south island right now, enjoy the cool ocean breezes up there :) Have a wonderful week and thanks for sharing your time.
i've heard it's pretty toasty. so far this week we've had a high of 16C. it's very nice :)
Boy u clean fast!! lol 😂 great video again Amanda 🥰🐕
Hope your garden is growing well given the increased sun.
it's doing okay. we've had a bit of sun so they've had a bit of a growth spurt!
I heard that also🧐🐳
Awesome video thank you so very much ❤
Lots of hard work. Dont you ever feel lonely ? But such a amazing nature .
yes, some days there's a lot of work to do. i get asked that question a lot. i never get lonely. i love the solitude of working and living out here. i keep very busy - there's always something to do, but not once have i ever been lonely :).
This video was peachy 🍑🐕😉❣
Wow for not living all that far away from me here in Courtney it's hotter and crazy you gotta be in the house by 11:30 in the morning and at night it doesn't even get cool till around 11 or 12:00 o'clock at night I have to put curtain shears over my garden and it's still cooking to death It's 26 Celsius right now and the hottest part of the day is 3 PM and it's 1:30
Yes, I heard it was crazy hot down there. Yikes!! I couldn't handle it. The good thing about living on my boat is it stayed very cool in the summer so I rarely felt the big heat that everyone else was getting. Here my cabin is literally in the forest so it stays very very cool even when it's 20C+ outside!
Another great video.
Thanks Jerry!
The perfect weather for me is 65 degrees. I also love wind and rain. I think I need to move there, lol! Love Peaches. I have ten dogs. Two are rescues. Training is “ruff” around here. 😅
10 dogs!? wow, amazing!! 🧡🧡🧡
From Ottawa- wow i miss BC lots- Love the scenery and your work Amanda, seeing the gas stove and sink looked so comfy - and your firepit- the benches were too modern for me ! simple stumps or boulders like the ones i placed around the pit i made at my mom's in the north. Terrific video :) I've just looked up where you are approx- you're above not too far from my dad's side of the family - i've yet to make it there to explore- Alert Bay that is.
Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed it. I love Alert Bay. That's sometimes my grocery stop :)
What's the low tide depth at the dock?
The lowest I clock the depth at from my sailboat is 8ft.
Beautiful vlog! Just a question. When you have guests does that mean they have places to stay and are you responsible for feeding them? I know that it takes a lot of work to have guests.
The guests generally stay in cabin 1 and noooo they feed themselves :). The cabin is fully equipped and however they get here they transport their own food with them.
Amanda, I enjoy your content. Thank you. Can you leave your boat out all winter and does the lake ever freeze up?
psssseewwwww!!! Pssssewwww! I am being a whale bursting for breath. 🤣🤣🐳🐳🐳 Oh! I keep forgetting to ask you what kind of boots you are wearing? Thank you for sharing! Colorado Girl
haha :). My boots are aluminum toe boots by Terra. I believe they are called the Patton :)
Great video lovely nature you keep things looking good go peach you’ll get there do you get lots of 🦟 mosquitoes
we actually get very few mosquitos. i'm not totally sure why.
It was good to see you this Sunday. The last couple of years many have noticed the deer being very friendly. This has been happening all over the country. There was even a couple of videos where a hunter was about to fire and the deer came right up to him to say hello. He went home. Very strange.
hi :). i know... part of me wishes they were more afraid of me. i don't want them to become used to humans... this is one of the only places on the island they can really feast so i don't want to scare them away. tough.
@AmandaOffGrid
If you are not hand feeding them, which I know you're not, they should be okay. It seems they have worked out excellent exist strategies. 😀
Hi Amanda, A silly question...are there snakes on your island?
yes, tiny little garden snakes, but no big snakes :)
@@AmandaOffGrid oh good!😀
That's a lot of whale's. I watch several sailors who have sailed around the world and between them I believe they have only seen about a dozen or so. One has only seen 1 after being around the world. Crazy
wow! in northern bc there are whales everywhere - it's pretty great :)
Take some time and train the dog it's not hard. 🤗
I saw some whales this morning from my sailboat off Eden Is! They are so cool! Humpbacks.
Very cool!! It's always so exciting when you spot them out on a boat!
