Hello, friends!
Spring is officially here...and so it's sunny & warm one day and then rainy & oh so cold the very next. I'm trying not to mind the warm weather tease, and so have been making the most of these last few sweater weather, stay-inside-and-read rainy weekend days.
This past weekend I sat down to read "Where the Crawdads Sing" and basically didn't get up until I was finished! It was definitely a 5/5 read for me and it inspired me to appreciate the nature in my backyard and sketch the specimens I've collected.
The reading, the rain ambience, and the comfort food made for the very best Sunday-- thank you so very much for being here to share it with me 💛
BIG hugs,
Morgan
For those who are curious, the sketching class I took was through eventbrite and was taught by the wonderful Liz Clayton Fuller: linktr.ee/lizc...

I’ve been baking a cake every Thursday in order to enjoy on Friday with your videos. My new post-work pastime/end of the week treat. Thanks so much for giving me an event to look forward to! I always feel so clam and inspired to be creative after watching.
This makes me so happy 😭 Thank you for appreciating my videos so much! I’m so glad you make the time to treat yourself- this is something we should all prioritize!
My this is a wonderful weekly treat.
Morgan: "...teaching myself how to draw..."
*literally draws a perfect pinecone*
Hahaha this made me laugh- thank you 🤗
The warmth and joy you bring to the everyday things is to me like remembering how the sunny world is shining behind the clouds. Thank you!
This is such an amazing compliment-- thank you friend ☀️
For this very reason I love living in the northwest-I love the sound of rain 🌧❤️
When did 30 minutes pass? Such a nice and relaxing vlog. I could listen to you talk for days haha :)
hahaha thank you so so so much, friend
I read Where the Crawdads Sing at the beginning of this month and LOVED it!! So glad to see someone else have the same attachment to the story as I did. Excellent vlog! Landon's sound effects, authentic.😆
It’s such an amazing book!!
Hahaha Landon brings all the laughter to my life ☀️
Hello! I just really wanted to comment this here. I've been struggling with stress lately and have had trouble with insomnia.
But your videos really really make me feel so peaceful and helps with calming my mind down.
Your videos and presence and character are such a gem!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Keeping Landon's fart in was a smart move 😁
Hahaha I'm glad you think so : )
LOVE staring my Friday’s with a Morgan vlog 🤍🥰
I love that you start your Fridays with my vlogs, friend 🤍
I agree Where the crawdads sing is very amazing ... I started Wildwood and enjoying it very much... Have a good weekend
I like Korean old children story too...hope you are well.
There's something about the rain that makes me immediatelly want to cozy up, grab a blanket and a cup of tea, a whimsical book and read! Match that with your music selection and this video was 30 minutes of Heaven
Thank you so so so much, Larissa friend-- YOU are WONDERFUL
@@MorganLong thank you, friend. Right back at you. YOU are MARVELOUS
A cozy rainy reading day... sign me up! 🌦⭐️
Thank you for sharing the book titles, never enough to read. 📚
So glad you're here, friend ☀️
Wow this was just what I needed! This was such a cosy and relaxing vlog I loved every minute 🥰☕️
Morgan you present life on life’s terms, which is reality, not some fake unrealistic impression some people like to put out there. Bottom line most of those are not real life. Keep the spirit and the “real” you forth coming. ❤️
I read the poem The Pond today and it was so wonderful!! Blew my heart away!
Magically wonderful, as usual! You have such a special way of capturing the beauty around you, I'm always transported to another place with your vlogs ✨Your specimen sketches are 10/10, if you ever make prints in that style, I'll definitely get them 😍Hope you have a great week 💛
Thank you so much for saying this!! I'd love love love to see prints!
@@MorganLong I hope someday you'll have your own artsy shop 😊
me: *trying to have a peaceful morning routine while watching Morgan*
Landon: *farts in the background*
Hahahaha wrecked 😅
I love that she kept it real 😂 they're humans!
Hahaha story of my life!!
The best video confort after a long stressful week,
Thank you so much for your videos !❣️
Wow I didn’t realize until today how much I look forward to these videos. Love you and your work Morgan!
Thank you so so so much, friend

Thanks for the book recs - I too LOVED Where the Crawdads Sing
Thank you for watching!
Thank you. You always make me feel happy and at peace.
I love Educated... so emotional and wonderful
Such a lovely spring vlog! Your use of music is so cinematic; I always forget I'm not watching a movie.
Yay! Where The Crawdads Sing, one of my all time favorite books! I could not put it down once I started reading it. I was sure you would love it and I am so glad you did. And what perfect timing, all her sketching/drawing in the book so motivating. I loved this video, so relaxing. Thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you so much for gifting it to me, Kathleen! It kept me company while Landon was away and when he came back, I got to tell him alllll about it and how much I enjoyed it and then say “Kathleen gave it to me!” 😊
What a lovely relaxing video. You will love Mary Poppins, it makes me laugh out loud, a great book 😆 x
Thank you so much, friend! I'm really looking forward to reading Mary Poppins!
Pure magic ✨ as always!! Andddd I see you’ve passed 40K!!! Yay!!! Sending you all the love, Mo!
Just made the best pasta while watching this!! I save your vlogs for my cooking time m so I feel like I have someone with me! ❤️🥰
I loved this so much 💛 thank you for another ray of sunshine & I feel that I want to read crawdads immediately! Ps the fart had me laughing so much 😂😂 x
You are a joy. Ordered both books from my library. Thank you.
Where the Crawdads sing is my favorite book. Everything you said about it I agree. It gives e butterflies to think about it!! That fits I guess. Love you. Missed ROo!
It's such an incredible book!
🐾❤️
Where the crawdads sing was so wonderful!!! 🥰🥰🥰 I also was slowly reading devotions and recently I finished it and I was kinda sad to finish lol. My copy of devotions is filled with tabs and highlights and notes. I might as well have just put a tab on every page haha 🙃.
Also props to you bc if I tried to read while making pancakes, they’d all be burnt. Guaranteed. 😂 thanks for all the hard work you do to provide us with these cozy and lovely videos every week! You’re truly the best.
Your sunflower blanket is so cute 🥲
Your voice is just soooo soothing. I would love listening to an audiobook narrated by you. I think it would be a magical experience ✨
Thank you! This is something I really really want to do!
As always, your videos bring joy to me! Your smile is so beautiful :)
Dear Morgan, I can’t begin to tell you how much it’s meant to me to have your vlogs to watch as a peaceful counterpoint to my work, which is normally pretty difficult but has been grueling during this past pandemic year. As a therapist doing back-to-back telehealth sessions, I have felt so burned out this year. It’s literally been non-stop. You are so very talented, and I thoroughly enjoy the pacing, the music, and all of the cozy activities you do and film. I always have 3 or so books going to feed my soul, so I look forward to seeing what you are reading. I have recently begun to delve into children’s literature, a new genre for me, and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to read these books. Thank you again for suggesting them, for inviting us into your life and nourishing us with your kind and bright spirit!
Take it from someone who has been drawing most of their life, you are doing so great!! I am amazed you can already draw a pinecone so well. It seems you really have a knack for taking in details and drawing things accurately, with care and patience. I think you're gonna get to be soooo good!
Thank you so much, Benny friend! It's been so much fun to be new at something and feel the wonder that comes with completing something you never knew you could do. I hope illustration always feels like this ✨
@@MorganLong It still feels like that for me, because there's really no end, no point at which you're done growing as an artist. As long as you keep doing it for joy, you'll always love it.
Cozy quality time for lunch with you and updated my reading wishlist with your suggestions , I am a very slow reader but also a book addict , your video's always bring such a feel good vibe thanks for sharing , I wish you a beautiful week to come .
Happy reading, friend! Thank you for sharing your light ☀️
When you mentioned reading poetry last spring I couldn’t believe it’s been a year since I’ve found your channel. Your content/Patreon has given me so much joy and something to look forward to. I’ve began reading again and seeing the wonders of little things like walks and warm cups of tea all inspired by you. Thank you for another wonderful video Morgan! 💫💜
Also when I saw the crows all I could think about was Wildwood!!
Thank you so so much for being here for over a year now 💛 I love the bits and pieces you’ve appreciated from my videos/life and incorporated into your own life- cheers, friend ☕️
Where the crawdads sing is such a beautiful book, love to you Morgan and thank you for another lovely video 💫💛
normally, when i watch youtubes, i multitask with working, cleaning, etc., but not with your videos. they capture me completely and i give them my full undivided attention. your channel is of the utmost quality and filled with artistic beauty and feel-good vibes that i simply cannot miss a moment of it, morgan. thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your talent with us all. you make a difference! and i LOVE being your patreon, and all the extra goodness you offer on this platform!
I agree with you Dee, Morgan's videos require an undivided attention! And being her patron is the best thing💛
Thank you so so very much, Dee-- this comment feels like the biggest, most wonderful hug 💛 Thank you for appreciating the art of my videos and also contributing so much to the community of my Patreon ☀️
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Monica 💛
Hello from France, thank’s Morgan, your vlog it’s so relaxing and cosy 😘

I love Fridays because I know you’ll upload a new video 🙂
I love how Morgan's pants match the pillows
Stripes, stripes, stripes
These videos calm me so much. Thank you ❤️
I have such a tough week ahead and whats making me push through is 1) this video that gave me a nice lil break and 2) the hopes of having such a whimsical day when this is over 🥰⭐️🌟💫💛
I'm sorry to hear that your week was so tough but I'm glad my video gave you a nice break 🤗⭐️🌟💫💛
Your videos always bring me so much peace 🥰
Thank you 💛
Hello from Spain!I like your videos. Gracias! 😊
A cozy, lovely video, get's my heart full. Thank you!
Thank you so much for always watching and commenting, friend
@@MorganLong thank you for your work! It's a blessing.
Amazing budding artist I see that in itself could be a sweet inspiring book to write just about that your experience all the wonder that got you to that place omg I am so proud of you I could really draw when many moons ago but sad dark unfortunate circumstances came through that destroyed my love for a lot of my creative talents and honest to God you really are helping me watching you take the leaps and really doing those things and are so happy and so much inner happiness coming thru I need that thank you Morgan for all you do and all you are ❤️💕
Thank you so so so much, Wendy ❤️💕 It's so upsetting to know that you've suffered and the experience has taken your art away from you. I hope that soon you're able to draw with all the inner happiness once more r☀️
Educated WRECKED me, but it was a definite 5 star book so I'll have to pick up Where the Crawdads Sing. I love your sun flower blanket! Perfect for the season, and your garden is magical as ever :) Landon's little interruption was so funny but especially the 'what am I going to do with this guy' look on your face hahaha
Hahaha thank you always for your comments, Sophia! Landon and I now feel like we know you like a friend! I hope you enjoy "Where the Crawdad Sing"
@@MorganLong That makes me so happy! I feel the same way :)
Most beautiful feeling of the day I always feel in life is early morning before sun shines🌨️🎶
I agree-- there's something extra special about those early morning hours ✨
Bellísimo 🌹🌸🌹🌹🌹🌸📖📖🎊🎉🎊🎉🎉😘😘😘😘

Some of the nature scenes in your videos would make great wallpaper and screensavers.

i love that you always find a reason to smile :)
Thank you! You are so sweet and lovely!
Good morning Friend!
Good morning, friend!!
I’m currently reading The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin and I’m flying through it! It’s the best feeling when you’re just completely immersed into novel and you find yourself struggling to put it down.✨
I can’t wait to read that one!! I almost chose it for this reading vlog but it’s sooo long and I really wanted to take my time with it. Happy reading, friend! ✨
The fifth season is such an amazing experience! It’s just 🤯 going to continue the series next month
The most wholesome vlogs to watch 🥰 you can really see the detail and effort you put into your videos. ✨✨ x
Thank you so much, friend ✨✨ x
I am currently reading Where the Crawdads Sing too! Educated is on my list of things I want to read!
Such good books!!! Happy reading, friend ✨

These reading vlogs are so comforting, thank you Morgan! 🖤
I'm so glad you think so 🖤
This video is amazing. You really deserve so much more views and subscribers
Thank you so so much, Chiara friend
@@MorganLong ❤️❤️❤️
Friday morning? Check for Morgan’s new video! I will now casually mention you to my husband, we love how you decorate your home. We move into our home in 8 weeks, moving across the state and are daydreaming about decorating like you do. So classic and sustainable. Love from St. Louis, MO!
Thank you so so much, Rose friend! I'm excited for you, your husband, and your new home 💛
Funny I am getting ready to make me pancakes been craving them and now just really want them even more❤️
I hope they were delicious!! Mine most definitely were 😋
Yay what a treat this was 😄
I loved Crawdads too! I read it over the summer when it was boiling in London and it was the perfect setting!
It's definitely an amazing summertime read!!
I think I never thanked you for the synchronization between the absolutely stunning music you choose and the montage of the video. It's soooo satisfaying.
Morgan por favor haz un vídeo de esa sopa, seguro que está deliciosa!! 🍵🫑🥕🥒🧅🌶 me encantaría poder hacerla en casa y probarla 😊 Como siempre me encantan tus videos ❣️ un fuerte abrazo virtual 🤗
Hello my dear. It was delightful to spend a reading vlog with you. I just wish I had a book club with fascinating women like you. And get together and discuss about the books we read. The things we loved and the things we find less interesting. And the things that inspire us. I love reading, it takes you away into a different world. Thank you for another lovely book ideas 💡 you're such a beautiful soul. Big hugs. 🤗
Thank you for helping me get through a sick day where the most I could do was move from bed to couch. Your gentleness is such a comfort.
Just what I needed on this rainy, cozy day. I just love your videos oh so much!!
Thank you always, Emily! Hugs to you on your cozy day
I have missed watching your videos morgan. Recently, I have been so busy with school that I have lost nearly all my free time for UA-cam. Your videos make me feel so happy so thank you so much for always being here:)
My family and I have had a pretty horrible couple of weeks and this was just the soothing balm I needed ☺ thank you for another wonderful video. Funnily enough, I'm mostly certain the first video I ever watched of yours was when you ordered Devotions online! So it made me smile to see it come back around again ☺ sending all the good vibes your way xxx
Dear Miss Morgan ,
Hello again friend! Thank you for your positive reply last week. All of my exams are finally over , and today was actually my last day of term. Woohoo! It's been raining really heavily , so I'm feeling extra cosy at home in my blankets today.☺️☺️ Thank you for taking time out of your week to make videos for us. It's very much appreciated 😊😊.
Joke:
How many tickles does an octopus have?
You shall find out the answer in my next comment.🤗🤗
Lots of love ,
Tanisha
Wooohooo!! I'm so glad your exams are over and that you've finished term!! This definitely called for celebration 🥳
Thank you for watching my videos, friend : ) Hahaha eagerly awaiting the answer of the joke!
It was so nice to relive my love for Where the Crawdads Sing through your enjoyment of it.
Happy Weekend Morgan! Thank you for another wonderful and comforting video. I look forward to Fridays even more now! 💕
I love the large magnifying glass I need one
Relaxing vlog every weekend, thank you for sharing Morgan. Love it so much
Haha, this was so funny and sweet. I love your reading vlogs. I look forward to them every Friday, as well as your cooking and walks.
Thank you so much for watching my videos, Katie friend ☀️
Your cozy and relaxing videos make me forget about that stupid week I,ve had. Diving into another world just like reading a good book.
Thanks so much, as always.
This is an amazing compliment-- thank you, friend
Beautiful video! It brought me a lot of peace on a not so great day. Absolutely amazing!
Yay a new video!! I have been patiently waiting for your next upload. I love watching your videos are cozy and welcoming. Have a wonderful weekend!
I just love playing these on my second computer monitor when I work. Makes working at home less stressful!
This makes me happy :) thank you for watching, friend!
I LOVED Where the Crawdads Sing! I bought it because of the cover (I'm a coverbuyer) but it turned out to be so fantastic. 5/5 :D
Definitely a 5/5, cover and all!!
@@MorganLong Yessss :)
Morgan, you are a lovely soul who creates beautiful things. Thank you for choosing joy and hope, especially in the times when it's easier not to. Your videos never fail to be a wonderfully peaceful way to start my weekend (I'm a teacher).
Cheers to you, Landon, and Monsieur Roo :)
Random perhaps, but I love how we see you and Landon making crafts in a video, like the cranes and hanging books, and then we see them continually in other videos. It's like revisiting a happy memory.
This makes me happy-- thank you friend ❤️
I’m new here! Found your channel a few weeks ago! Absolutely LOVE your read with me videos
Sometimes I watch them all the way through when I’m stressed or sad and when I’m in the mood to read I go in my room and put this on and it helps me focus on my book so much! Thank you! So grateful I found your channel! ❤️
