Your coral bells brought to mind a song I learned as a child, which I had not thought about in many years. This song, I think, is referring to lilly of the valley. Here are the lyrics...."White coral bells, upon a silver stalk; Lillies of the valley deck my garden walk; Oh don't you wish that you could hear them ring? That will only happen when the fairies sing."
Wow!! My eyes are full of tears of joy! I just discovered your blog today and I recognized an amazing woman! Most importantly I learned that gardening doesn't mean to be perfect! I love gardening and I work a lot, vegetables, fruit trees, flowers, sometimes I feel overwhelmed but not anymore! Love ❤️ your cake 🎂 and the entire presentation. Your voice is warm and very agreeable. Thank you!!
That is a crayfish (crawfish ) hole! Every now and then you will see one peeking out of the hole in the morning. Love your video and music. Thank you for sharing your talent! God Bless.
The hole in the soil with the cob wall of mud, surely belongs to a new character in your paintings and storybooks. Mr Crayfish, well know known as crawdad... and long ago was a weather broadcaster of wet, foul rainy condition. Little critter will daub up the hole so water will not drench its home. When weather clears up, they will open the hole to let air circulation occur. At rare times, the craydad will be a brilliant blue. One can view their cousin in a creek nearby. I hope this helps identify your critter.
I am always so happy when I see a new video from you. I love hearing all the sounds that come from your garden. I also learn so much from you. One of my favorite part of your videos is getting to hear about your dishes and I love seeing the lovely rabbits you make. .
How wonderful to sit down to have my coffee and to open my iPad and there you are. I know it’s going to be a wonderful day. Thank you for sharing your wonderful gardens. I’m going to make the strawberry cake it looks delicious.
Your videos are so interesting. Your lifestyle - so peaceful and full of purpose. It's such a healthful approach to life. I couldn't survive the southern heat these days. I think I might be a polar bear disguised as a human.
I never ever thought of using a chicken dish to hold a separated egg white! I also never thought of putting blueberry purée in my lemonade! You are a treasury of information and a lovely calm way to start and end my day….
Love love love you and your beautiful gardens, recipes and graceful living! It is always a treat and respite to join you in your Victorian/Edwardian eras inspired world.
I love your channel. It takes me back to a kinder and gentler time and gives me inspiration to create such a lovely sanctuary as you have. I always feel like there might be hope for our planet after watching your videos. It would be so easy to sink into despair over the current state of humanity and the planet. Thank you for demonstrating that we are all creators of the future.
Im new to this channel but I'm so glad I ve found you!Your are doing every thing I ever wished for plants, animals ,art,You are so blessed.Thank you!Keep doing what you do
I sure would like to set at that table and enjoy some cake and yummy special lemon aid and listen to the bird's and enjoy lovely scenery. Such beauty and peace. 💖
I get so engrossed watching I forget to comment...but...I want to say I love and adore your videos and your sweet beautiful voice !!!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.!!!💕
You’ve given me so many great new ideas from this video I need to get busy and next year for a lot more herbs in my garden and see what I can do from my garden to make it look a little bit better hugs and kisses and
Thank you for another beautiful video...I look forward to each and every one! Florrie Bunwinkie and I are very much looking forward to your virtual craft shows...I think she is looking for a felt friend to keep her company. Happy Independence Day!
I enjoyed the information on decorating your garden with brick/gravel and garden decor. It was needed since I needed assistance on just how much garden decor was too much. It really helped a lot. I have been laying concrete lily pads around my garden and was using pea gravel to fill in between. I wish I had extra rock laying around like you do but. good ole garden centers will do the trick. Thanks for all your valuable information and Happy Fourth of July to you, lovely lady. Hope yours is a good one.
The cake is a beauty! I enjoy the garden visits so much. The table looks wonderful. So calming and inspiring...you are the master of vlogging with charming visuals, educational information, and lovely recipes.
Love your kitchen utensils. Your China pieces are wonderfully delightful and so elegant. Your voice is so soothing as you describe your precious plants and animals. Thank you for sharing such a calming and inspiring garden.
As always, it’s wonderful to ramble through your gardens with you 🌸🌿 That cake look so beautiful as well and thank you for the reading at the end ☺️📖🇺🇸
Watched this a second time. Love your videos. Inspirational and such great gardening tips. Love your garden bones, especially the brick patio and wattle fence. (It is hard for me to not overdue the garden ornaments to not look tacky. I love ve so many things! Haha!). Thank you! Wonderful herb garden!
Interesting about the crawfish castles. No such thing in the Pacific Northwest. Yes, I have a very old Betty Crocker cookbook too. Love it, it is a go to source. Your garden is wonderful. That strawberry shortcake is so yummy looking. Thank you Jeri, love your video's. God bless American and you!!
This was a moment in Heaven! Happy 4th of July and God Bless America! I had my first two baby chicks hatch 🐣 on Fourth of July so I’m going to name them Freedom and Indy (independence)!!! Thank you Jeri.
Another wonderful video Jeri! Your gardens are enchanting! I was so happy to hear your take on garden ornamentation as well! I couldn't agree with you more on this! In the beginning of the video I saw the bottom half of that beautiful statue and hoped you'd show her and I was delighted that you did! Your videos are truly a balm for the weary gardeners soul!
I have been watching now for about one month! I absolutely love everything you do! Im so blessed to have found your video!!! I too, live in the country and have gardens. I wish mine were as beautiful as yours. We are about the same age. I love the aged look of your garden. It is my favorite of alllllll time. Thank you for making these videos. You have added a light to my soul. Shirley
Your strawberry shortcake looked absolutely delicious!!! It was so beautiful…I would have looked at it too, at least for a while before devouring it! Your gardens are lovely! I too love anything old fashioned. Gardens like yours just capture my heart. I so appreciate your videos! They are not only beautiful, but so informative and interesting. Thank you so much for creating and sharing them with us. Happy 4th of July! Blessings to you Jeri ❤️🌻❤️
Yes, that strawberry shortcake is almost too pretty to cut. I'm sure it was delicious. The strawberry tureen is perfect for that lemonade, so festive. I always love seeing your gardens and the results of all your hard work. I think you have just the right amount of outdoor ornaments and the really add to the lovely vintage look. Happy Fourth of July everyone!
A most enjoyable visit for a very pleasant Sunday. I believe to see at each stage of the garden there is something very pretty and wonderful to see, just as in your videos of each stage you share. Thanks so much. In Joy
I really love your garden and the sounds and your voice is so comforting to hear. Thank you for sharing with us and bringing us in for your life stories and lessons! they are truely a joy! I teared a little when you shared your mommas cookbook it looks just like my grandmas.
Hi dear friend, thank you so much for another great video I always enjoy swinging by and seeing what you have you in different you’re a great channel to follow and I always enjoy it hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy

Love watching you create and garden. Thank you for sharing your ideas and life. God bless you and your family!!!😁😁😁😁🙏🙏🙏🙏
In my neck of the woods they are called crawdad holes. Usually a pretty blue crawdaddy lives in that type of hole. Garden looks beautiful and that shortcake looked delicious. 😍
Thank you so much ❤ my friend has beautiful gardens unlike me right now. She is sharing her flowers with me..We moved to the country soo my flower garden aren't developed like I had in town. You inspire me and lift me up. ❤
Jeri, I love watching your channel. It's so relaxing. Please consider doing a picture book with descriptions of your art, crafts, teas etc. You're incredibly gifted! Debbie ♥️
Love your videos Jeri and this one was wonderful! Your gardens are looking wonderful and your hard work is really paying off. I really enjoy your baking, and the strawberry shortcake looked so delicious, such a wonderful way to celebrate the birth of our country!
Happy Independence Day!! 🇺🇸❤️😊 Your garden is looking glorious...and I can’t wait for the in-depth herb garden video....so much to learn!! Enjoy your yummy shortcake.😋🍓🍰 God bless you & God bless the USA!🇺🇸❤️☺️
What we call crawdads make those holes! We had a very mischievous cat who loved to tease them by sticking her paw barely in the hole until the crawdad would come out, brandishing her claws, ready for a fight. Kitty would watch it for awhile and then walk away only to return later and start the whole process again. As far as I know, she was never pinched by those claws.
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY! "THANK YOU" for another enjoyable video...makes me want to go out and get in the garden and create even though it's 97 outside right now...BUT here I go...
I love your garden. The dessert and table display are beautiful. You are one of the people who actually use your kitchen cooking items. I truly enjoy your videos. Thank you.💐
Thank you for sharing the beauty of your day …. Food, drink & garden! Celebration of our nations birth is a perfect way. The flowers are breathtaking! Treasured books from our family!
Hi Jeri It is now November 2021. I am watching your videos and you have reawakened my gardening passion. I am now planning to plant some winter plants in the garden. I am also planning to plant a rosemary plant and wild flower seeds next year early spring. I have learnt so much from watching your videos and you have inspired me to do my own garden finally. Your videos are so calming and soothing to my soul and give me so much inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing your gardening knowledge with us.
That's great, I'm happy to hear you will be taking on a new garden adventure...there is nothing quite so satisfying than working the soil, planting from seed and watching it all come to fruition!
It's so sweet and soothing to hear you speak. Thank you for sharing your garden and your beautiful Shortcake spread it all looks delicious. Happy Fourth of July!!!🙏🇺🇸💓💐
Dearest Jeri Happy Independence day , such a beautiful strawberry shortcake ❤️ it’s my Son’s favorite . I look forward to trying your betty crocker recipe . Your table setting and flower arrangement and oh my gracious that delightful elixir in that adorable terrine WOW !!! absolutely darling hooray for the red white and blue🇺🇸❤️ perfectly . Everything is enchanting and thank you so sincerely I feel as if I have entered a dream realized . Love and blessings Dear Jeri you inspire me and warm my heart and share wisdom that I crave , the kind of things we would sit on the porch or in the yard and listen to all the history and curious mystery . Today on independence day in NJ USA I planted an olive tree in my yard to symbolize my wish for peace on earth ❤️🕊
Yes in a large container and I will bring in Miss Olive May . I will have to give her good pruning as i understand they can reach 6 feet . Oh My where will I live LOL ??? and live inside for the winter months ,we live in 7b but that’s a pleasure not a bother to me Dearest Jeri 💕❤️✨🕊. She will be accompanied by Ann Ronnel a small weeping willow and Ms Julia Sugarbaker my georgia peach which has grown large enough to winter in the fenced in garden . My citrus tree’s go in the front bay window . I have a humble colonial ranch that My Grandfather built in 1959 , its a year younger than me ☺️🙏🏼❤️ I am very blessed ✨🙏🏼✨ Love & Blessings ☺️
I am very new to your channel. Such a joy to watch this video on Independence Day “Monday”. Your table setting is beautiful, the shortcake looks delicious. Thank you for your reading of the story of Old Glory. I have to say, your garden is so beautiful. Looking forward to your next video!
We have those same holes in our yard near the creek, they're made by crawfish. I too salvage gravel from our property for filler in my rock pathways and soon to be new fire pit area. I've been adding to our rock work in the gardens a lot this year, mainly from rock I've gathered from family that have more rock than they want in some areas, free for the taking. I have six large oakleaf hydrangeas to plant (not counting 12 I started from cuttings) in a new garden area, and another new shade garden too that I just bought the plants for (the prices were too good to pass up). I add old galvanized items throughout my garden (my herb garden is planted in 8 old wash tubs) along with some concrete animals, then I sprinkle in a bit of whimsy with a couple of old wheelbarrels, wagons and bikes for planters. Thanks for sharing your lovely gardens.
It is always fun to create garden sections... Yours is coming along nicely... I have seen red and white petunias over the years...but have not found them yet. I love strawberry short cake with ice cream.. yummy cool dessert. Yours you made is lovely.. Happy 4th...
I was touched to learn your aged goose ended her days with such loving care, Matilida was blessed to have you. I really, really like your pathways, and your gardens look wonderful. Happy Summer Days To You, Joy
That’s a crawfish. I have several. They like damp it wet soil and sometimes their home is built straight up. A tall mud cake ha. One got in my pool last summer. Looks like a tiny lobster. Some call them crawdaddies or mountain lobsters. They don’t hurt anything. Some folks reach down deep and pull them out but I don’t care to bother them or have my finger nipped. Also your strawberry shortcake looks wonderful and tasty. Gardens are pretty. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Chesapeake Beach Maryland. 🙏❤️🇺🇸🦀🦀🦀
Your coral bells brought to mind a song I learned as a child, which I had not thought about in many years. This song, I think, is referring to lilly of the valley. Here are the lyrics...."White coral bells, upon a silver stalk; Lillies of the valley deck my garden walk; Oh don't you wish that you could hear them ring? That will only happen when the fairies sing."
That is so lovely!
That a pretty ditty!
I used to sing that in girl scouts
I also learned that song in Girl Scouts. It was so pretty sung in a round! Memories!
I remember singing that song as a child.
Wow!! My eyes are full of tears of joy! I just discovered your blog today and I recognized an amazing woman! Most importantly I learned that gardening doesn't mean to be perfect! I love gardening and I work a lot, vegetables, fruit trees, flowers, sometimes I feel overwhelmed but not anymore! Love ❤️ your cake 🎂 and the entire presentation. Your voice is warm and very agreeable. Thank you!!
Wow, thank you!
So enjoyed the history reading. Our history is glorious. It is a crime how we neglect to remember it.
Yes, we have an incredible history and I do hope and pray that one day we will go back to teaching REAL History.
My Mother and I garden the way you do, seeds sprinkle around the gardens. We love the way your gardens look, ours look the same.
We have a Betty Crocker's cookbook from 1962 that was given to me as a wedding gift. Love that cookbook. We have been married 59 years, this May 26th.
Congratulations!
That is a crayfish (crawfish ) hole! Every now and then you will see one peeking out of the hole in the morning. Love your video and music. Thank you for sharing your talent! God Bless.
AHHA! We have lots of those guys on the creekbank, he must like the dry-creek that runs along this garden.
Is a crawfish the same as a yabby? I'm Australian and have not heard of those!!! Was gonna say a snake, because that's what happens here😁
@@lianapalumbo8457 A Yabby! that's a cute name for them. They look like little lobsters.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow yep, looked it up and they're the same. They're so cute. I'd love to see one pop their little eyes out of a hole 😍
HaHa! In Louisiana they are everywhere, especially after a good rain.
The hole in the soil with the cob wall of mud, surely belongs to a new character in your paintings and storybooks. Mr Crayfish, well know known as crawdad... and long ago was a weather broadcaster of wet, foul rainy condition. Little critter will daub up the hole so water will not drench its home. When weather clears up, they will open the hole to let air circulation occur. At rare times, the craydad will be a brilliant blue. One can view their cousin in a creek nearby. I hope this helps identify your critter.

Your videos are so interesting. Your lifestyle - so peaceful and full of purpose. It's such a healthful approach to life. I couldn't survive the southern heat these days. I think I might be a polar bear disguised as a human.
My husband grew up in ALaska, he does not like the heat!
I never ever thought of using a chicken dish to hold a separated egg white! I also never thought of putting blueberry purée in my lemonade! You are a treasury of information and a lovely calm way to start and end my day….

It is always fun to create garden sections... Yours is coming along nicely... I have seen red and white petunias over the years...but have not found them yet. I love strawberry short cake with ice cream.. yummy cool dessert. Yours you made is lovely.. Happy 4th...
Cake looks so good, great presentation for the Fourth of July...enjoyed it all!
Looks like a crawfish mound like we have here in Mississippi.
I was touched to learn your aged goose ended her days with such loving care, Matilida was blessed to have you. I really, really like your pathways, and your gardens look wonderful. Happy Summer Days To You, Joy
Mathilda had a good long life.
Gorgeous video in every way! I don't know where to start with which part I like best, I love it all!
That’s a crawfish. I have several. They like damp it wet soil and sometimes their home is built straight up. A tall mud cake ha. One got in my pool last summer. Looks like a tiny lobster. Some call them crawdaddies or mountain lobsters. They don’t hurt anything. Some folks reach down deep and pull them out but I don’t care to bother them or have my finger nipped. Also your strawberry shortcake looks wonderful and tasty. Gardens are pretty. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Chesapeake Beach Maryland. 🙏❤️🇺🇸🦀🦀🦀
