I, too, love mahogany. I have five pieces of my grandmother's mahogany that she probably bought in the '40's. I'm now 76, and I love them more now than ever. I have a 24 year old granddaughter stopping for a few days after Thanksgiving and am hoping we have time for the lemon cake! Many thanks!
I was feeling very stressed when I sat down to have a visit with you. Now I am feeling much better. You accomplished so much in this video. Lizet is a talented videographer and your content is outstanding! Thank you Kevin🙏❤️
Hi Kevin I absolutely agree with all the wonderful comments from everyone. We look forward to your new episodes every week. You are so calming, awesome about sharing things we could all learn from. There is no way we(my husband) can express how much we enjoy you sharing. Thank you so much. Have a great week.
Hi Kevin I was out yesterday for a movie and dinner, so didn't see this episode til today. Buried in kitchen duties but had to tell you that this episode was a great break for me. Will bake the cake, probably add some berries calling from the freezee. I just want to remind you that your sweet soul and sincerity in your work are so appreciated. Also that you convey to us that you "get to" enjoy our comments while eating cake and sipping tea; so lovely! In a world so different than we grew up in I think it's essential that we know how priviledged we are to enjoy what used to be maybe a bit taken for granted. Your charming vibe within your talent made my day, Kevin. Peace and love 🎉
I love your beautiful home and gardens; watching your videos of harvesting and freezing; baking, preparing and serving tea; flower arrangement; elegant beautiful lifestyle. Thank you for sharing.
Breakfast yes!! My little dog in his bed next to my reading nook window which I often set for breakfast. My dog is always hoping for and always rewarded with "sharesies" as scrambled eggs are his favorite of all treats.Well, next to a bite or two of pancakes, that is. I have made that Lemon Loaf Cake several times and can enthusiastically attest to the lemony deliciousness of it. Thank you for welcoming all of us into your kitchen, your home, your garden, and your life. I hope you understand how very much your videos provide joy, calmness and serenity as an antidote to this troubled world we live in these days.
Dear Kevin, Im pretty new to your channel but I want you to know how delightful you are! From your calm dignified countenance to your graceful home and lovely gardens. Im going to try your lemon bread this afternoon there is nothing like the the aroma of working with lemons, and I look forward to coffee and cake this evening by the fire.
Kevin, thank you for opening your home and letting me share some of your day. I deeply appreciate the walks in the gardens, planting and harvesting alongside you, the beautiful views as we travel on the road, the visits to stores, florist and specialty shops!! How warm and inviting you make our time together, while having tea or a delicious dinner. How relaxing it truly is! Because of serious health issues I cannot go many places so from my heart to yours, thank you for the genuine sunshine you bring to my life! 😊
I enjoyed the entire video, but especially seeing little Goldie looking up at you so intently as you were working on you plant placement in the window garden. He's so precious and I can tell he loves you.
I am fairly new to your channel but I’m so delighted to have found you. Ditto on all of the positive feedback you receive as it is warranted. I have found you to be such a source of comfort and stress buster given the nonstop craziness most of us face on a daily basis. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Hi Kevin, thank you, as always, for a great day hanging out together. Great to see a lot of Avery and Goldie; such an inquisitive kitten. You asked if we eat breakfast. Never, in my case. I prefer a light lunch, a large dinner in the evening but keeping some space for afternoon tea on a regular basis! What beautiful leeks. You are so fortunate to have a large kitchen garden and the energy to keep it well stocked with produce. I really admire how you manage so many tasks and still have time to bake, cook and entertain in your beautiful home. Bell peppers and leeks are great standbys as you say for soups, casseroles, side vegetables and more. I'm not surprised your deep freeze is already bursting with goodies! Your antique fern stands are truly beautiful. I have two reproduction ones from the 1980's. Not as ornate as yours but, like you, I find them invaluable as decorating accents. You made an excellent job of restoring the one and polishing the other. Well done! Great, as always, we went for a drive out to your local flower store. Such beautiful produce, I could mooch around there all day and never get bored. Great to see you buy red and cream Kalanchoe. They grow really well on my balcony and flower for ages so will be perfect in your cool bathroom window display. Your fern looks stunning in the parlour windowsill. Regrettably, with central heating, they don't fare well with me. Now, to the Star of The Show: your FABULOUS Lemon Loaf Cake. I wouldn't have thought to use sour cream for that, particularly with the load of extra lemon extract. Clearly it didn't curdle! Cooked to perfection, as all your baking is, the smell was to die for! Looks like my day tomorrow is mapped out already. I have the ingredients and I can hear the Lemon Loaf calling to me!! Thank you again for a really fun and effortless visit with you again, Kevin. I do believe you have done more to pioneer the revival of the Afternoon Tea than any other Life Style channel on UA-cam. Thank you so much for bringing so much elegance back into our lives. Much Love and Huge Hugzz to all of you in the Hudson Valley xx
😊 I remember planting those leeks with you in early spring and it brought me great satisfaction to see you get to harvest them. Your videos have brought me much joy and many smiles this summer...Thank you Kevin ❣️
Kevin, I love how you refer to your audience when you say “when you and I planted” . So sweet to include us like a little family. Brings a smile to my face.😊
It’s 2:43 am here in Indiana. Such a blessing to rise early, especially to catch upon your videos😊 In a world of uncertainty you are a breath of fresh air and calm. I There is an old soul longing to present in tending garden, cleaning and preparing, cooking and sharing. Thank you for reminding us all to love and be grateful for everyday❤️ You are so appreciated!
beautiful day with you Kevin, shopping for flowers, digging leeks and freezing them not to forget the beautiful lemon cake - I will say it it frenh (merveilleux) Merci Kevin
I agree with Lilly. I went to watch the new this a.m. and ended up in a state of distress and tears in minutes. Your video calmed me down and brought me some peace this a.m. Much better for my mental health. I can't fix what is happening around the world, but I can make a lemon cake for my family.
Kevin, you're such a lovely gentleman and very elegant. Thank you for sharing your day with us, and I so look forward to your videos, full of ideas and inspiration, dear Kevin. You're a star.🌟
Kevin, you are a gentle soul I, like many of your followers , enjoy just tuning in. there is something healing and restful in your voice and smile. I just Love the shape of your antique plant stsnds. , the base has a pleasing shape & balance and the “ feet” are very charming, like a cat’s paw.My grandmother’s friends had furnishings similar in style in their parlors, and so did my Mother. Unfortunately I did not have the chance to have dibbs on that stuff them when my parents moved. Thank you for showing the proper way to clean leeks. I have always been challenged by the process..believe it or not. ❤
Kevin, your calm demeanour and pleasant modulation are a pleasure to listen to. I enjoy watching you accomplish your daily tasks without all the fussiness and complexity of other channels. I feel my blood pressure returning to normal!
Thanks for inviting us into your home and enjoy some of your daily activities. It’s like hanging out with a good friend. That lemon cake looks amazing!
I'm sure he does. I wish we could 'meet' Mr Fox - maybe it will happen on a special occasion video, say Thanksgiving, Christmas or a special anniversary? Here's hoping!
Hi Kevin. It so nice to ser you again. As much as you enjoy your lemon cakemand tea, I enjoy seeing your videos specially when you buy and arrange flowers. Your lemon cake looks just delicious. Regards from Venezuela. Beatriz. By for now.
Hello Kevin and family. Yes our day always starts with breakfast , eggs, veggies and steel cut oats. Thank you so much for posting on Sundays. It’s such a soothing way to enjoy the day. As usual always a pleasure until next time.❤️🙏❤️
I'm so inspired by the cake , garden bounty, furniture tips, and especially the window colorful garden! Love seeing the pets faces too. So sweet! My breakfast today also had 2 bell peppers but with red onion, spinach and diced potatoes. Michigan Fall color is glorious out my windows with bright sunshine and blue skies! A day to enjoy!
Always keep your egg shells for your garden!! They are pure calcium!! Tomatoes especially love eggshells mixed into the dirt!! There is always a use for everything!!
Bonjour Kevin, merci pour la vidéo. Avec le froid qui arrive, mon petit-déjeuner préféré : porridge, myrtilles, nappé d' un peu de beurre de cacahuètes.
I am absolutely honored to watch these vloggs, Sir Kevin. Eggs and peppers are a favorite of mine. Sometimes, I add a little onion. Lemon loaf, yum yum. What a delight that the garden keeps giving🤩😍Have a wonderful week💖☕☕
Oh!...i restored two fern stands back in the late 80's...once i got the terrible layers of varnish off i discovered they were rosewood, with inlaid patterns on the platform with a carved rim & legs, slightly heavier than these...but turned out so lovely i kept them as end tables. 730 AM here now..i smell the coffee, it's almost done........but it will have to wait..i can't miss a thing about that lemon loaf....my achillies heel! Been searching for the perfect recipe to make one like my grannie used to make. A proud woman, she took all her secrets with her when she passed. i did figure out her bread.. & baked beans..but can not get the loaf just right to save my life..lol. oy. >< Good Lord...we even have identical cutting boards...lol! Oh my.
Thank you for your wonderful video. You are one of loveliest gentle and kind man I have ever watched on utube. Very relaxing with your calm voice. Love all you do and say. Thank you you Kevin❤❤
It always amazes me how much land you have. You not only have the buildings and out door spaces but a kitchen garden, larger vegetable garden and a regular garden, paths and established trees. Mine is a city lot. I am lucky in that I have 60% of the parcel. I am doing my best and will have four raised beds in my front yard. Still I don’t think I will be able to produce enough for a year’s supply of anything except maybe pesto from basil. My goal is to get enough tomatoes to can. I would love to grow just a fraction of the leeks you have. Next Spring I am going to try in earnest to plant all four beds to maximize a harvest. I was late this year and failed at cantaloupe, pumpkins and the tomatoes so late I don’t think they will ripen. I did get radishes, beans, cucumbers and watermelon. I agree with you about furniture. I have slowly replaced my modern furniture with vintage pieces from the 20s and 30s. I love the pieces that are finished in shellac. I harvested a large zucchini yesterday so will be using your method to freeze it. I’m also going to try to make your zucchini basil soup.
I’m trying intermittent fasting so my breakfast is more like brunch. Eggs are so easy, quick and versatile and healthy for breakfast. Kevin, watching you is like taking a Xanax ❤️ it’s so relaxing and comforting! I really appreciate you ❣️ Take care of yourself. You are loved and admired!
We’ve had some difficult months at my house with illness and job loss. But your homey activities, pets and beautiful locale have helped me feel some cheer.
I always add to my to do list when watching these lovely and relaxing videos, now I'm motivated to do a little wood maintenance on some of the old furniture sitting around the house, and as I LOVE leeks I'm so very tempted to try planting them next year the way you did, so clean and bountiful! Thanks for another lovely visit and showing the beautiful fall colors up your way, from your neighbors out on Long Island
Having my Sunday morning coffee while enjoying watching your video. Your house looks so beautiful and inviting as usual. You inspire me to work on making my home more inviting. Fun to see Avery and Orange Kitty running in the halls. I know Orange Kitty has a name, but I can't remember. I will check past videos. Love the beautiful ferns placed in the windows, also the other plants and flowers. The lemon loaf looks scrumptious. What a great treat to munch on while reading comments and sipping tea. Excellent! I always feel better after watching your videos. Thank you. I think I will go make some scrambled eggs with frozen peppers that I have in my freezer, for Sunday brunch/breakfast. Take care and have a wonderful Sunday.♥️🐕🐈🐈⬛🪴💐🍋🫖☕🍁
Aca nuevamente con mi comentario en español🤷🏼♀️, espero puedan traducirlo sin problema. Me gusta su forma calmada de expresarse describiendo su agradable trabajo en casa, el jardin, etcetera, es un remanso de paz en medio de tanta violencia desatada. Cada detalle bellisimo😊❤ Mil gracias por un video mas tan respetuoso, pacifico. Deseo que tenga un bello dia.
What a breath of fresh air you are that makes me feel like I've just had a small perfect little Vacation. You remind us that the smallest things we do are filled with beauty. ...as for breakfast, my favorite meal, I have two eggs every day on a slice of artisanal thick chewy bread and sometimes when I really want to indulge, I add a thin slice of hickory smoked ham, all with a black cup of coffee and a couple of orange wedges. ...and then, if I'm not careful I will read the morning away but, I generally, tell myself to step outside and smell the morning air and move around the yard to see what's happened overnight. This am I noticed a broken branch on the anise bush and brought it in and crushed the leaves to scent up the bathroom. ....I also wanted to mention, since you said you were out of silicon bags, that you might consider using glass jars. I have found that they do not crack when frozen and just let it unthaw in the fridge before you're ready to heat. I think the jars with a shoulder are better than straight jars but I've never had any to break unless I bang it on something in the freezer. ...would love to have a bunch of neighbors just like you ❤❤😊.
Good morning Kevin. Enjoying your lovely video this glorious Sunday. My husband is watching the Ravens football game and I’m sitting outside in the sun. We had a good breakfast of cranberry, walnut French toast, crispy bacon and an easy over fried egg. Your plants in your window garden are so healthy. Can you please do a video on how you care for your African violets? How is Binky adjusting to the new kitten? I have 3 cats and it warms my heart to see them getting along. Looking forward to your next post. Regards, Jean from California.
You did such a good job on the fern stands! I will try the lemon loaf cake, it looks so good. Lemons are a fave. Nice to see Avery and the new kitty! Have a wonderful week, Kevin.
I love the way so many of your videos make me feel as though we're taking a little journey with you. Some food prep, cooking, furniture care, shopping. It's all fun to watch! 💜 Love seeing glimpses of your growing fur family, too.
We have 45 year old pine bedroom and living room sets we bought from a tiny family run Maine workshop. Over the years, both have sustained damage. I will put your tips into practice, as both sets are now one of a kind, the workshop having closed decades ago. Thank you!
Good Morning Kevin. (my Go-to Person). Now it is Seven O'clock in the evening here in Ol' Blighty. I love your floral and leaves display and your lemon Drizzle Loaf Cake. Now for my treat, to watch the rest of your video for us. Bless you and Mr. Silver Fox. X
The drive you took was all too brief for those like me who are obsessed with autumn foliage, which in Australia we don't have anywhere near enough of (those trees aren't native here). Truly a beautiful part of the world, especially if the timing is right!
Hi Kevin, I look forward to your videos and rewatch older videos and just can’t get enough. You have a magical dream life. You really do. Your fern stands looked mint after all that care! I have restored some pieces, but I am struggling with my cherry wood china cabinet. The woodwork turned white after using a Danish oil product I never used before. The crevices of the moulding are the worst. I think I need to strip it down to the wood stain to fix this problem. I just needed a push to do it. I will look for the clotg in your description. It will be amazing if I can get it to a pristine finish. It survived a move. It’s the only big furniture piece I have from my parents here. I think I will bake this lemon loaf too. I need a treat after cutting a 30 ft black walnut tree down and cutting it up into small pieces. I will use the logs and branches for projects next year.
My cat Gryfin and I are watching this video today. We so enjoy seeing Avery and the kitties make their appearances in the various videos. It’s so nice to know they are in loving hands and they enjoy full rich lives. Thank you Kevin!!! 😻
Good morning wonderful Kevin Your breakfast this morning was so delicious and quick and easy Oh how lovely and delicious are leaks. In Greece , in Sparta we make a wonderful salad with thinly sliced cabbage, thinly sliced leaks, chopped Spring onions, feta diced , and dressed with olive oil, chopped clove of garlic, some thinly sliced kalamata black olives and some freshly squeezed lemon juice, olive oil, all according to your taste. Good idea to add some grated lemon rind and a bit of Dutch or French smooth mustard or a quarter teaspoon of prepared Colman's hot mustard. Kevin, your recipes and you are wonderful and tasty. Thank you. X
What a wonderful way to spend the day! This morning, I had homemade bagels with cream cheese and coffee. I, too, like to freeze onions, leeks and peppers - So convenient! I also have a dehydrator with an adjustable thermostat and dry these and other veggies. Once dry, they can be vacusealed into mason jars. These will keep well after the ones in the freezer are used up, and they reconstitute well in soups, stews and other dishes. Of course, I also dehydrate and store the herbs I grow in my garden, too. You reminded me today that I need to buy lemon extract, and some peppermint extract. That lemon loaf cake would definitely be lovely with tea, and I've been craving homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream.
Kevin, every video you produce is ALWAY,S my new favorite! Every time you show us a different room in your BEAUTIFUL home i,m more in love!❤ And, your garden!!!❤❤ I,ve tried many of your recipe,s, and will certainly try this one! Thank you for all you do!
What a busy day, Kevin! That lemon loaf looks delish and I am going to make it tomorrow. How lovely it must be for Mr. Fox to have such a wonderful partner who pays attention to every detail in making everything so cozy and beautiful. Your attention to cooking gorgeous meals, the floral decorations, the cleaning/polishing, your garden, and baking are so incredible! I need a Kevin in my life! lol 😘 Thank you for your videos...they are inspirational.
Thank you for inviting us to your home and showing us how you make it even more beautiful. Would love to know more about your home, it's age and where and how you installed those gorgeous and classic window treatments in the parlor. Thank you!
What a joy watching and listening to your daily activities; they just prepare me for a wonderful night’s sleep as I unwind from my own. I’m a lover of anything lemon, so one day soon, a loaf is going into my oven. Yum - m - m.
A cat on my lap, a coffee in front of me and watching your brand new video! Thank you for some much needed joy, dear Kevin! 🙂🌻🐈⬛🐈
Lovely !! 😺 ❤
You are very thorough!😅
My very favorite, fern stand with fern, gorgeous.
I like this style of visit…Day In the Life plus an easy recipe! And Sunday tea with Kevin!
I, too, love mahogany. I have five pieces of my grandmother's mahogany that she probably bought in the '40's. I'm now 76, and I love them more now than ever. I have a 24 year old granddaughter stopping for a few days after Thanksgiving and am hoping we have time for the lemon cake! Many thanks!
The fern on the luscious stand so simple yet elegant and serene
All I have to do is hear your intro music and I’m instantly relaxed and ready for a wonderful video!!
I was feeling very stressed when I sat down to have a visit with you. Now I am feeling much better. You accomplished so much in this video. Lizet is a talented videographer and your content is outstanding! Thank you Kevin🙏❤️
Lizet is amazing!!!
Always a joy to spend some time watching and learning with you Kevin, Ahhhh civilized calmness comes over me and I become lost in some happiness. 💖
Yes, your lemon loaf cake looks divine. You've had a busy, productive day.
It's always a treat spending time with you, dear Kevin. Thank you for your beautiful, relaxing and heartwarming videos💜💜💜

Hi Kevin I was out yesterday for a movie and dinner, so didn't see this episode til today. Buried in kitchen duties but had to tell you that this episode was a great break for me.

I’m just 5 days into discovering this wonderful channel and I totally agree with your comments. I’m finding so it soothing, refreshing and satisfying!
Goldie and Avery! those cute faces making their cameos puts a smile on my face!
So enjoyed. Lemon to me is better than chocolate.
I love him!!!! And Mr Fox.
Kevin, thank you for opening your home and letting me share some of your day.

I'm glad I found your channel. What a breath of fresh air!
I enjoyed the entire video, but especially seeing little Goldie looking up at you so intently as you were working on you plant placement in the window garden. He's so precious and I can tell he loves you.
Great comment! A house is not a home without some beloved furry friends.

What a lovely Sunday afternoon interlude! Always a pleasure to be invited into your home. Thank you so much!😎💯❤👍👍👍
Every time I eat something that’s beautiful, I find myself nodding my head. I think I’ve become Kevin. 😉👍❤️🥂
Kevin, your calm demeanour and pleasant modulation are a pleasure to listen to. I enjoy watching you accomplish your daily tasks without all the fussiness and complexity of other channels. I feel my blood pressure returning to normal!

When so much of the world is crazy, I love my peaceful and joyful time watching your videos!
Thank you, I/we really appreciate you as well. Such a kind soul....
Love you Kevin. I am so envious of your energies and organisation! See you soon.
After watching many of you videos, I can't help but think "I hope Mr. Fox appreciates all the work you do to keep house and how well you feed him". 😊
I'm sure he does. I wish we could 'meet' Mr Fox - maybe it will happen on a special occasion video, say Thanksgiving, Christmas or a special anniversary? Here's hoping!
I just know Mr. Fox loves everything he does! I, too, would love to meet him, but respect his/their privacy.
You're like a warm cup of tea on a rainy afternoon! ❤😊
Hi Kevin. It so nice to ser you again. As much as you enjoy your lemon cakemand tea, I enjoy seeing your videos specially when you buy and arrange flowers. Your lemon cake looks just delicious. Regards from Venezuela. Beatriz. By for now.
My partner and I look forward to your videos each week. Thank you, Kevin.
I usually fast in the mornings. Sunday is the only day I’ll usually make breakfast for myself.
Hello Kevin and family. Yes our day always starts with breakfast , eggs, veggies and steel cut oats. Thank you so much for posting on Sundays. It’s such a soothing way to enjoy the day. As usual always a pleasure until next time.❤️🙏❤️

You are such a pleasure to watch
All so elegant and lovely.. A life well lived and a daily feast for the soul.
Kevin, I just adore your pronunciation!
Your wonderful videos bring much needed joy and calm in a horrid world out there. Some wonderful escapism is what we all need.
Oh!...i restored two fern stands back in the late 80's...once i got the terrible layers of varnish off i discovered they were rosewood, with inlaid patterns on the platform with a carved rim & legs, slightly heavier than these...but turned out so lovely i kept them as end tables.
730 AM here now..i smell the coffee, it's almost done........but it will have to wait..i can't miss a thing about that lemon loaf....my achillies heel! Been searching for the perfect recipe to make one like my grannie used to make. A proud woman, she took all her secrets with her when she passed. i did figure out her bread.. & baked beans..but can not get the loaf just right to save my life..lol. oy. ><
Good Lord...we even have identical cutting boards...lol! Oh my.
Thanks for the furniture cleaning tips.
Glad your puppy and kitten like each others company.
Admiratif devant cet homme il aime les fleurs les plantes c'est l' âme d une maison moi j adore aussi a bientôt pour tant de bonheur
Thank you for your wonderful video. You are one of loveliest gentle and kind man I have ever watched on utube. Very relaxing with your calm voice. Love all you do and say. Thank you you Kevin❤❤
So wonderful to spend time with you this morning.🌹🌹
Kevin, you are such a warm and kind soul. Your videos are beautiful. From Southern California with love❤
It always amazes me how much land you have. You not only have the buildings and out door spaces but a kitchen garden, larger vegetable garden and a regular garden, paths and established trees. Mine is a city lot. I am lucky in that I have 60% of the parcel. I am doing my best and will have four raised beds in my front yard. Still I don’t think I will be able to produce enough for a year’s supply of anything except maybe pesto from basil. My goal is to get enough tomatoes to can. I would love to grow just a fraction of the leeks you have. Next Spring I am going to try in earnest to plant all four beds to maximize a harvest. I was late this year and failed at cantaloupe, pumpkins and the tomatoes so late I don’t think they will ripen. I did get radishes, beans, cucumbers and watermelon. I agree with you about furniture. I have slowly replaced my modern furniture with vintage pieces from the 20s and 30s. I love the pieces that are finished in shellac. I harvested a large zucchini yesterday so will be using your method to freeze it. I’m also going to try to make your zucchini basil soup.
I’m trying intermittent fasting so my breakfast is more like brunch. Eggs are so easy, quick and versatile and healthy for breakfast. Kevin, watching you is like taking a Xanax ❤️ it’s so relaxing and comforting! I really appreciate you ❣️ Take care of yourself. You are loved and admired!
It would not be Sunday without a visit with Kevin. The site exudes calm and competency. Thank you for the variety of ideas that make life easier.
This was absolutely delightful! So peaceful and calm, like something from days gone by and much, much needed....thank you! 🍋🪴
We’ve had some difficult months at my house with illness and job loss. But your homey activities, pets and beautiful locale have helped me feel some cheer.
I always add to my to do list when watching these lovely and relaxing videos, now I'm motivated to do a little wood maintenance on some of the old furniture sitting around the house, and as I LOVE leeks I'm so very tempted to try planting them next year the way you did, so clean and bountiful! Thanks for another lovely visit and showing the beautiful fall colors up your way, from your neighbors out on Long Island
Looks fabulous. You are a breath of fresh air, serenity and calm in a chaotic world. Thank you Kevin ❤
In a crazy world, this is a lovely escape for all of us ,Kevin, I love when your video notifications appear 😊
What can I say dearest Kevin- except to say that you are delightful!!! Your table is soo beautiful and inviting! Thank you!
Kevin, I enjoy your videos so very much. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with all.
Having my Sunday morning coffee while enjoying watching your video. Your house looks so beautiful and inviting as usual. You inspire me to work on making my home more inviting. Fun to see Avery and Orange Kitty running in the halls. I know Orange Kitty has a name, but I can't remember. I will check past videos. Love the beautiful ferns placed in the windows, also the other plants and flowers. The lemon loaf looks scrumptious. What a great treat to munch on while reading comments and sipping tea. Excellent! I always feel better after watching your videos. Thank you. I think I will go make some scrambled eggs with frozen peppers that I have in my freezer, for Sunday brunch/breakfast. Take care and have a wonderful Sunday.♥️🐕🐈🐈⬛🪴💐🍋🫖☕🍁
Aca nuevamente con mi comentario en español🤷🏼♀️, espero puedan traducirlo sin problema. Me gusta su forma calmada de expresarse describiendo su agradable trabajo en casa, el jardin, etcetera, es un remanso de paz en medio de tanta violencia desatada. Cada detalle bellisimo😊❤
Mil gracias por un video mas tan respetuoso, pacifico. Deseo que tenga un bello dia.
What a breath of fresh air you are that makes me feel like I've just had a small perfect little Vacation. You remind us that the smallest things we do are filled with beauty. ...as for breakfast, my favorite meal, I have two eggs every day on a slice of artisanal thick chewy bread and sometimes when I really want to indulge, I add a thin slice of hickory smoked ham, all with a black cup of coffee and a couple of orange wedges. ...and then, if I'm not careful I will read the morning away but, I generally, tell myself to step outside and smell the morning air and move around the yard to see what's happened overnight. This am I noticed a broken branch on the anise bush and brought it in and crushed the leaves to scent up the bathroom.
....I also wanted to mention, since you said you were out of silicon bags, that you might consider using glass jars. I have found that they do not crack when frozen and just let it unthaw in the fridge before you're ready to heat. I think the jars with a shoulder are better than straight jars but I've never had any to break unless I bang it on something in the freezer. ...would love to have a bunch of neighbors just like you ❤❤😊.
Good morning Kevin. Enjoying your lovely video this glorious Sunday. My husband is watching the Ravens football game and I’m sitting outside in the sun. We had a good breakfast of cranberry, walnut French toast, crispy bacon and an easy over fried egg.
Your plants in your window garden are so healthy. Can you please do a video on how you care for your African violets?
How is Binky adjusting to the new kitten? I have 3 cats and it warms my heart to see them getting along.
Looking forward to your next post. Regards, Jean from California.
I just Love your Videos, Cleaning Tips, Cooking, Shopping and enjoying your Beautiful Home!!! Have a Wonderful Day/Week❤️❤️
I absolutely adore your calming, patient demeanor.
Your recipes bring me home to my family kitchen.
Thank you, thrilled I stumbled upon your channel.
What a great day we spent with you. And you forgot that we also harvested leeks and prepared them for freezing.
Another wonderful Sunday afternoon watching your video............. Your lemon loaf looks simply delicious!!!!!
You did such a good job on the fern stands! I will try the lemon loaf cake, it looks so good. Lemons are a fave. Nice to see Avery and the new kitty! Have a wonderful week, Kevin.
I love the way so many of your videos make me feel as though we're taking a little journey with you. Some food prep, cooking, furniture care, shopping. It's all fun to watch! 💜 Love seeing glimpses of your growing fur family, too.
We have 45 year old pine bedroom and living room sets we bought from a tiny family run Maine workshop. Over the years, both have sustained damage. I will put your tips into practice, as both sets are now one of a kind, the workshop having closed decades ago. Thank you!
Good Morning Kevin. (my Go-to Person). Now it is Seven O'clock in the evening here in Ol' Blighty. I love your floral and leaves display and your lemon Drizzle Loaf Cake. Now for my treat, to watch the rest of your video for us. Bless you and Mr. Silver Fox. X
The drive you took was all too brief for those like me who are obsessed with autumn foliage, which in Australia we don't have anywhere near enough of (those trees aren't native here). Truly a beautiful part of the world, especially if the timing is right!
Hi Kevin, I look forward to your videos and rewatch older videos and just can’t get enough. You have a magical dream life. You really do. Your fern stands looked mint after all that care! I have restored some pieces, but I am struggling with my cherry wood china cabinet. The woodwork turned white after using a Danish oil product I never used before. The crevices of the moulding are the worst. I think I need to strip it down to the wood stain to fix this problem. I just needed a push to do it. I will look for the clotg in your description. It will be amazing if I can get it to a pristine finish. It survived a move. It’s the only big furniture piece I have from my parents here.
I think I will bake this lemon loaf too. I need a treat after cutting a 30 ft black walnut tree down and cutting it up into small pieces. I will use the logs and branches for projects next year.
My cat Gryfin and I are watching this video today. We so enjoy seeing Avery and the kitties make their appearances in the various videos. It’s so nice to know they are in loving hands and they enjoy full rich lives. Thank you Kevin!!! 😻
Ohhhh I can’t wait to make this lemon loaf! My favorite aroma is lemon and that cake looks heavenly. Thank you for a recipe I know I will love.
Those fern stands!!! Wow!!!!
Good morning wonderful Kevin
Your breakfast this morning was so delicious and quick and easy
Oh how lovely and delicious are leaks. In Greece , in Sparta we make a wonderful salad with thinly sliced cabbage, thinly sliced leaks, chopped Spring onions, feta diced , and dressed with olive oil, chopped clove of garlic, some thinly sliced kalamata black olives and some freshly squeezed lemon juice, olive oil, all according to your taste. Good idea to add some grated
lemon rind and a bit of Dutch or French smooth mustard or a quarter teaspoon of prepared Colman's hot mustard.
Kevin, your recipes and you are wonderful and tasty.
Thank you. X
Another gem! The fern stand and fern really added to the room - lovely! Thanks.
Those fern stands are GLORIOUS!!!!
Hi Kevin!!! Love your show!!!
What a wonderful way to spend the day! This morning, I had homemade bagels with cream cheese and coffee. I, too, like to freeze onions, leeks and peppers - So convenient! I also have a dehydrator with an adjustable thermostat and dry these and other veggies. Once dry, they can be vacusealed into mason jars. These will keep well after the ones in the freezer are used up, and they reconstitute well in soups, stews and other dishes. Of course, I also dehydrate and store the herbs I grow in my garden, too. You reminded me today that I need to buy lemon extract, and some peppermint extract. That lemon loaf cake would definitely be lovely with tea, and I've been craving homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream.
I always have breakfast. Often a bowl of Cheerios with a banana. Sometimes a fried egg on toast. What wonderful leeks! You will enjoy them for months.
Thank you Kevin for your videos your home is beautiful and you are such a kind person I just love to watch your videos 😊
Kevin, every video you produce is ALWAY,S my new favorite! Every time you show us a different room in your BEAUTIFUL home i,m more in love!❤ And, your garden!!!❤❤ I,ve tried many of your recipe,s, and will certainly try this one! Thank you for all you do!
Kevin, An absolutely wonderful relaxing day spent with you....thank you.
What a busy day, Kevin! That lemon loaf looks delish and I am going to make it tomorrow. How lovely it must be for Mr. Fox to have such a wonderful partner who pays attention to every detail in making everything so cozy and beautiful. Your attention to cooking gorgeous meals, the floral decorations, the cleaning/polishing, your garden, and baking are so incredible! I need a Kevin in my life! lol 😘 Thank you for your videos...they are inspirational.
You are the sweetest to take us on a tour of your day! ❤
Thank you for inviting us to your home and showing us how you make it even more beautiful. Would love to know more about your home, it's age and where and how you installed those gorgeous and classic window treatments in the parlor. Thank you!
What a joy watching and listening to your daily activities; they just prepare me for a wonderful night’s sleep as I unwind from my own. I’m a lover of anything lemon, so one day soon, a loaf is going into my oven. Yum - m - m.
