- Join Hannah as she takes you only a short journey helping out the girls with garden work. she is quite something.
We had an early start to our week. Sunday after supper we picked corn and cucumbers, its not something that happens often but, it was supposed to rain on Monday (which it did) and the veggies were ready to be canned and freezed.

You have such a great eye! I’m no expert, but I find your films very visually arresting.
You are such an asset to your community, showing us outsiders the Hutterite way of life. In fact, in some cases making us a little jealous of a life lived so close to nature.
Your sense of humor is so key to making these films relatable. Thank you so much for all of your work putting these videos together!
Thankyou, for your sweet message and support it means the world to me 😊
I forgot to mention in my previous comment how much Hannah has matured this past year. She is and will be a huge asset to the community. She's very much a people person who enjoys learning and applying that knowledge. Great job Hannah!😁👏👏💝
I also test the chocolate chips on occasion. Someone needs to make sure they are still good. It’s a service I do for my family.
Giselle, thank you for opening yourself up to the world and letting everyone see that Hutterites are no different then anyone else really. I live in Alberta and have 3 colonies near me and have had the experience of meeting various members of the colonies. It's people like you that will change the world and reduce prejudice for everyone.
I am so glad I came across your channel. I find myself binge watching your video's, especially since the death of my sister. The love and closeness of your community brings me peace and a longing for what you have. I'm not trying to be silly, but the sound of your voice is soothing as well. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Love and prayer's for you all.
Aww my condolences to you, sending you lots of love and prayers. God bless you ❤
Thank you for including music in vlog. I much appreciate the perspective you have given to your faith community. God bless!
You are so welcome, God bless you 😊
I love how your dog, Kona stays mostly with you n is very loyal to you☺. I had a German Shepherd and she was my girl....loyal friends😉
Wow,I love the ending of this video.What a beautiful hymn and that sunset.Ineffable !
I’m here trying to not lose my mind from the things happening everywhere; the panic, the fear, and the chaos, and getting to peak into your lovely, peaceful world really helps. It makes my heart LONG for a peace like that. A peace only our Father can provide. Thank you Giselle. ♥️🙏
I am pretty sure I lost my mind on Thursday. I am glad to see I am not the only one who came here to be calm.
Amen!!
I haven't been able to attend my place of worship since March last year because of this situation as my grandson is strictly quarantined. I miss my church family dreadfully. I am planning on stopping by our citadel next Sunday to drop off Christmas cakes for my friends there and cards.
I get so much peace watching your videos thank.
May The Lord Bless You and Yours. Have a blessed Christmas.
Love and Prayers From Bonnie Scotland.
Giselle you are a gem among women. I admire your selfless God centered attitude it is a rarity now days. You also really demonstrate the advantage of a simple life, one without the corrupting influence of the internet, television & radio. Keep up the great work & to God be the glory.
how do you think she uploads to youtube...they have the internet
The internet that mark is watching her on lol
Kudos to your new 'footage assistant/2nd cameraman' Hannah 🙂. It's also nice to see more and more people are getting less camera-shy. | Btw. the chocolate chips in the freezer... you didn't "clean up" the bucket properly, still too much left there 😁.
Agree! 😂
I’m not sure why Hannah, but your videos always make me feel more grounded and so peaceful.
Sorry I called you Hannah by mistake. That’s what happens when you try to do 2 things at once at my age 😂
Watching your videos make me realize that I yearn for a simpler life.
Hannah is such a cutie. Love your community! Thank you sweet Giselle for these wonderful videos. I love your way of life.
What a beautiful video! You must have used a camera this time? The colors of the produce against the deep blue sky were stunning. God's Providence. Lots of hard work! I would think there is a lot of pressure to get the harvest in before bad weather ruins the crop. I admire your lifestyle and dedication. Good example for "the world", that includes me!
I love you blogs and look forward to them. About the cougar, remember, they are very skilled hunters. Try not to follow a routine. They are well known stalkers and will time your activity. I love the garden work. I miss it alot. Nothing feels better than knowing you are prepared with a well stocked pantry and freezer. 🍇🍍🍓🍒🍑🍎🍅🥕🥦🧄🧅🥔🥒🌶😁👍💞
Thanks for the helpful tips...I noticed the past couple days on our walks Kona was acting strange, it didn't register what it could be until we were told it had been spotted. 🤭
@@gisellewaldner9406 Smart Kona can sense a predator for miles! Pay close attention and turn around when she alerts to anything or acts unusual.
@@gisellewaldner9406 wow, that is scary. Please keep a close eye out when walking by yourself.
Make noise to scare a couger away and of course Kona will guard and alert you , no problem. I grew up in the north and there were many predators but they are rarely an issue.
Giselle, thank you for recording and sharing your videos. 🙏 They give us outside your community a nice ‘break’ from busyness of the world to see true caring for thy neighbor in action. Plus the videos are relaxing/entertaining to watch. Be blessed.👍🙂
Another great vlog, aided by the lovely Hannah!
Enjoyed today’s video ! Hannah did a great job she’s a natural for sure ! 💜🥰
😊😊 if she sees that comment you are her new best friend 😊
Giselle tell Hanna she could definitely be your up and coming vlog helper. 😁
You both have a wonderful womanly sweetness that is a rarity in our world today..
@@jacquelineellis8949 I will thankyou 😊
Wait.....did I just stop pulling carrots in my garden to come in and watch you pick corn? YUP!! Enjoyed it too! wink
😊😊
Thank you! I so love the singing at the end.
You are very talented and I find your vlogs funny, entertaining and relaxing and so much more 🥰
Much Love and Many Blessings 💛🙏🏼
Sure missed your vlog yesterday!!!! Waiting on the edge of my seat for next one!!!!
Thanks for the reminder of the devotional you are reading as I wanted to look it up and forgot to last time you mentioned it. It’s available on audible so I can listen to it rather than trying to find a hard copy. I prefer real books but often have to buy and wait for them to arrive from overseas which can take months!
I love your videos. I would love to live a community like yours. It’s biblical and a wholesome way to live.
HA! You have knee pads! I was AMAZED by the time you could spend on your knees!!! I tried to clean my floor this way and it was awful! LOL!
A beautiful video I love garden work you are so good with kids and I really love how you answer the phone 😂 thank you Giselle say hi to Austin for me .
Another beautifully done video Giselle. You really have a talent and I'm happy you share it with us. Kona is so sweet and little Hannah is a gem! You made me remember something from years ago when I got back late from a long trip. The next day was garbage day so I wanted to take it out before I went to bed. I grabbed the bag and opened the front door. To my horror there was a cougar sitting on the hood of my car, facing me, not 10 feet away. We startled each other pretty badly as it immediately crouched and hissed at me. I slammed the door and worried myself sick it was going to find a way in. It didn't of course and trackers came out the next morning. They found tracks of 2 cougars all through the neighbourhood but it was too dry to follow them once they got into the bush. A very scary experience!
😬😱😳
Loved your footage of the wheat field(s) ..reminds me of going home to Saskatchewan 🌾😍🌾😍
😊😊
The corn is gorgeous!!! I just clean, wash and paper towel dry ours bag and freeze till needed. I love cooking it in January when it is cold and the snow is everywhere makes me smile because it a taste of summer. Great video, I enjoyed watching all the havesting. I must say I miss when you do cooking week. Do you do a big celebration after all the harvesting is done? Be safe and if you do go for a walk make a lot of noise as you walk and always go in a group.
What a multisystem and whole life. Sometimes I feel like crying and sometimes inspired through your vlogs. Thank you dear.
Hello from Tirol/Austria! You are doing such an amazing job by showing us your life and culture! Funny, I do understand your language because it is pretty much the german variation we still speak here :-)
Giselle, Thank you for the recommendation of the New Morning Mercies devotional. I just received my copy today and I’m so very excited! Thanks again!!
I love the song at the end this time. I would love to come to your colony and just sing and spend the day with all of you. I hate cleaning but I think you guys could convince me to do it and I'd have a happy heart. 😆 Have a great day and thanks again for these inspirational videos!
I am in northern-ish Minnesota. We rarely see them in the summer months but come winter we see their tracks . Black bears on the other hand are everywhere.
OH Dear Lord!!! +100000 for the Hannah-Cam!!! What a wonderful addition!!! God's Peace Hannah - THANK YOU :-) Your smile absolutely radiates God's JOY so brightly - just like Giselle. What a true GIFT you both are.
Your corn looks so good this season!
I love your videos, and get so excited when a new one pops up! Kona has grown into such a beautiful mature dog too.
Beautiful 💜. Thank you Gisele and Hannah!
Chokecherry jam is wonderful. So is chokecherry syrup for pancakes/waffles or ice cream. We make some every summer and I LOVE those tart little berries.
Nice video. Peace to you and your family!
Doors being open slightly triggers my mild ocd. I developed it bc of my husky. Ive had her 11yrs and she’s still an escape artist. I remind myself that others don’t have that problem but it’s still mind blowing. Getting our rescue has helped a lot too bc she LISTENS 😳 even with no formal training like we gave our husky. She behaves like your baby, it’s awesome!
Giselle I love the singing you put at the end of your videos! It's so beautiful and calming. Is this your church or a choir I could look up and listen to? How can I hear more? 💕
I love the singing too..all the harmonies! Just heavenly ✨😍
Me too,I would but that CD in a heartbeat
As always you make me smile
I love how Kona knows that little bag and that it means walk time! She is so smart, I also love how she runs beside you when you go for a bike ride. Hopefully the cougar has left the area. Hannah was a natural on camera! God Bless you, your videos bring so much joy and love!
Such a beautiful ending to the video. ❤️🌷
Thanks for the vlog , very good keep it up well done see you next week 😉😃
Hannah Cam is great! Good job!
That shot of Kona in the wheatfield (or whatever grain)... She is getting so pretty. I guess those colors really bring out the color in her coat.
I love being Hutterite. ~Kona
Another lovely video. My Mom loves the singing. Thank you for sharing💕🙏💕🎶
You're welcome 😊
Giselle, I have missed your video this Saturday! (August 21st). I hope you are well!
I love the singing at the end. It's also so organic with the sound of young children in the background. I find myself rewinding just to listen and my under 2 finds it so relaxing too.
Another great vlog. It brightened up my day. Thank you for sharing.
I really love corn and I would have to say that I used to love corn on the cob with "schmauntfat".... YUMMMMM!!!! and you all have pretty toes too :Q
I don't know the hymn being sung at the end of this Vlog #69 - very, very lovely. Thanks, Giselle!
Wow, your filming just gets better! The night video by the fire is my favourite, and awesome corn crop. 🙏 until next week 😊
a very good vlog and Hannah did well to. god bless you all.
God bless you too 😊
I just adore the Hannah vlogs....she such a cutie.
Praying you are well and your family. Miss you.
Your area sure has been blessed with good rain. I could listen to it for hours. The wheat looks beautiful. Was nice seeing Hannah throw in a bit of her perspective on the work, too :)
Thank you so much. I enjoyed it so much.
😊😊
I'm enjoying all your videos! Hannah is adorable and I think she's your little prote'ge' 😇
There is something peaceful about watching wheat sway in the wind.
You always add the right song at the end. It always speaks to me ❤️ thank you dear lady 😉.
The singing and the words of the psalm brought tears to my eyes.. thank you so much for this
Thank you and God bless you all.
God bless you too 😊
Another great video as always, Thank you! We love tomato sandwiches! We put miracle whip or mayo on ours. Hannah, you are toooo cute!
TYFS Giselle! Enjoyed your blog and love your music. Have a Blessed week ahead🍂🍁🍂
Thanks for sharing, my friend. God bless you and keep you safe.
Thankyou same to you 😊
Thank you for share the New Mornings Mercies. I got it over 2 weeks ago. Haven’t missed a day. I read it in the morning with coffee after milking. I’m so glad you shared it.
Thank you for your answer Giselle I will be on the lookout for it. Good luck fixing the problems.
Thanks for sharing. Your videos always inspire my soul! I’ll be going to the farmers market and doing some canning (for my first time without my mom leading and helping) tomorrow.
Thank you beautiful young lady for another AMAZING video. You are so blessed to have the kind of lifestyle you are living in. May God continue to bless you, your family and your entire community. ❤️
Your so blessed to have people around you that love the Lord live right work hard and care for you
Thank you for being such an inspiration. I bought the book New Morning Mercies by Paul Davis Tripp and am enjoying it very much.
Love the Hannah cam!
First again!!
I had wondered about bears!!!
😊😊
@@gisellewaldner9406 inspired by you I got on my hands and knees and washed my floor by hand! 😂 not something I would do on a daily basis
What beautiful singing, I also love the L and R written on the little ones feet when playing twister. 🤣 I was also wondering do you have all your meals with the community or do you sometimes have them st your house?
I feel better after watching one of your video's. Thank you Hannah and Giselle.
You are so welcome 😊
Thank you Gesell I always enjoy your Channel
Beautiful singing. Lots of yummy food.
Yum! Tomato sammies are my favorite!
Those apples looks yummy, I just want to eat them. Thank you for sharing xx
Loved “Hannah Cam”. Great video.
Better watch out Giselle...looks like Hannah wants your vlog job! She's got a good eye, too!!! Your community choir is amazing...such touching music.
Great video Gisele I got back from a mini vacation my daughter surprised me after radiation therapy on Aug 13 at the Marmalade Motel on the Eastern Shore here in Nova Scotia it was my 9 th treatment Friday and a long two weeks we both needed that seaside stay by the ocean it was beautiful and food we had excellent

I’m so behind and I’m trying to get caught up on your vlog! It’s been a busy summer. Thank you to Hannah for her input! She knows how to beat boredom! What do you do with chokecherry juice?
How can we get a copy of that lil song book ??? 😍😍😍 It would b an awesome project for yal to make copies and make a companion video of the kids singing. You wouldnt need to show their faces. I know your super busy but you could maybe do a lil at a time!
A cougar! How interesting, I knew their had to be some apex predators about. They have a very large range. Thats the one that was spotted. They are always around all over North America. People just rarely see them… more likely to hear them or see their spore. Your Grandfather is wise and it is just passing through. Love your video’s and the garden. You playing on the phone made me laugh, so like my own kids. hahaha
🙏🏻’s and God’s ✌🏻 to you and your colony!
Giselle, I love to watch your videos, they are really special. You are a person of many talents, and inspiring. Thanks 🙋🥀
That is such beautiful corn. Wondering if you know or could find out what variety it is....if its a variety that grows well in more northerly climates.
I live in Northern BC and a friend from church and myself went blackberry picking we chatted away while picking and next thing you know our buckets were full of black berries it was so much fun then we went and picked peas aswell.
Where does your water source come from? All the cleaning and gardening seems to take a lot of water. I love seeing life through your lens. Please keep up the good work!!! Blessings!
I had a tomato sandwich for dinner tonight, wholemeal bread & thin pass with butter,a big juicy plum vine tomato..yum!
Great vlog and fingers crossed that cougar has moved on.
Jane I love tomato sandwiches as well but here in the south we use Mayonnaise mmm they're so good 😊
You are such a beautiful lady, I’m so glad I found your channel. ❤️
So excited to see what you do with sweet corn. You shuck it in the field? Interesting...
You make excellent videos, Giselle! I enjoyed Hannah’s input as well. Watch out for that cougar!❤️
such Heavenly Voices!! Canning is something i need to learn. 🥰🥰
Another great video and beautiful ending! You have inspired me to begin making and drinking water kefir! It is delicious and so refreshing in the Florida heat! 🙏❤️
Giselle I grew and still love eating tomato sandwiches the exact same way you eat yours in the Summer.
