*CORRECTION* At the end of yesterdays video I missed telling you all a step in baking the sourdough bread! It should have stated bake at 500 for 25 minutes in a preheated cast iron pan with the lid on. **Then very carefully remove the lid of the pan with oven mitts and lower oven temperature to 450 and bake uncovered for another 20-25 min. I forgot to mention to remove the lid before the second bake at the lower temperature. Thanks!
I loosely follow this Sourdough Recipe- www.farmhouseonboone.com/begi...

I live in a small heritage town in Ireland...I work full time 12 hour shifts...on my days off in spring time I love to take my dog on a early morning walk by the river...I like to work in my garden and tidy and clean my house. I try to avoid the shops as much as possible....I feel lucky to have a roof over my head a safe warm place to live I don't need much...I enjoyed your channel and Dixie is gorgeous x
Being content with what and where the Lord has put us is a blessed gift. I live with limitations, yet everyday is still new and God has blessed with a warm home and simple blessings. Thanks for your message. Have a blessed day💖🐾🐾💖✝
Wonderful, Kate! Thank you!
My favorite thing to do is pick dandelion to make make infused oil for skincare. I love to take car rides in search of wildflowers. I live in Texas so bluebonnets are my favorite. Of course, gardening is beginning so we are preparing them. Looks like we will be able to plant early this year. I love your channel and sweet spirit. Blessings to you and Paul.🌷
Agree, I am also grateful to have a roof over my head x
@@cindymichaud7111 yes I am 78 and hubby 80 there is nothing better than a simple content life here in America, Church, family contentment is all we as a couple of old people wh love life and feel so bless. Yes I cook , clean my home and grocery shop. I always find things to do read book, clean, and rearrange room if I want, I am living life on my time which set me free. lol
Didn’t finish the video yet but I just wanted to let you know how comforting and cozy your channel is..Thank you for all the work you put into your videos and for the inspiration to me as a homemaker❤️
I agree!
Oh I agree, I could watch this channel all day ❤
Natalie, what a lovely and thoughtful comment! We love to hear this! Thank you!
nice to see that I am not the only one left that uses a tea pot. Have a great day
My Irish grandmother taught me how to make a proper pot of tea, preheated and covered with a cozy.Seven decades later, I still prefer tea.
@@BellaCooks396 my mother is Scottish so I grew up with picky teatotalers
@@BellaCooks396 Yes, tea perfectly steeped in pot ia delicious.
I love to walk slowly and quietly notice the return of the birds and look for new spring blooms. It is like God is softly saying, I am here."
Love that so much!
I love your day- my hubby and I do about the same things. We also eat just 2 meals a day plus a couple snacks. We also volunteer at a food pantry. Our days are very full like yours.
That's wonderful!
Here in Eastern Ontario it is still half winter-ish and very very early spring. We live rurally, and making maple syrup is March's most important job. We make enough for our family, including our adult children and their families for the year, saving everyone alot of $$.
Oh how wonderful!
Very productive day. I love seeing Miss Dixie. In between her guard dog duties (guarding her mama), she finds time for a little snooze here and there. Cutie pie! For low cost fun, you can't beat walking, going to the library, cleaning up the yard and keeping an eye out for spring flowers, visiting with neighbors and friends, vacuuming your car and cleaning the windows, clearing out the fridge to make a dinner with all the leftover ingredients, and learning new things on UA-cam. Happy spring!
Happy Spring! Great comment, thanks!
My favorite activity for spring has been pulling weeds and straightening up the yard at our new home in MB!!! So thrilled to have a yard after living in a condo for 6 years! Can’t wait to plant some flowers and maybe some veggies.💕😊🙏🏻🏡🪻🌸🌻
Oh how wonderful!
Congratulations 🎉
Sunday I went looking for volunteer tomato plants in my garden area and found two! Then yesterday morning I found two more beside the sidewalk before leaving my yard that I'll move so they don't get stepped on by the dogs. These evergreen tomatoes grow crazy and give me an abundance of tomatoes tinier than a grape tomato. I also have what I think is called longevity spinach that's very hardy and spreads. It started with just a couple of cuttings I got at the farmers market last year that I didn't cook in time so I stuck them in the ground at the recommendation of the lady I bought them from.
Oh how wonderful! Great find!
In spring, I like starting my vegetable seeds for the garden, watching the rain come down while sipping tea or reading a book, taking walks through a nearby park and listening to the birds, and cleaning out closets and cupboards.
All wonderful spring activities!
What a wonderfully warm share of your day! I like that you don't rush but focus instead on each activity with a Zen like devotion to the process. Each spring I take a warm afternoon to get out the stored boxes of my summer clothing and I try to go through them with "new eyes". This spring it is a particularly joyous activity as I have been doing intermittent fasting and have lost 30 lbs. So nothing should be too pinchy in the middle! I sort items to make new combinations, wash up and repair everything. And then box up those items I no longer want or need to go to our charity thrift shop. After that, I may decide I need a few new things. Right now it looks like it is just a pair of new sneakers as I haven't bought any shoes for 4 years.
👏👏👏👏👏
That is so wonderful! Good for you, Janet!
I love hanging the sheets and blankets out on the clothes line !!!
Me too, Alice!
I’m doing a no spend March and have binge watched your videos. I don’t know why but something just clicked with your channel and I’m getting a lot of tips. I think I liked that you gave examples of things to do when your bored instead of shopping. Enjoy the day
So glad our videos are helpful! Thanks for the encouragement!
Your day is very similar to my day. I clean up the house chores right away, so I can make bread and start that crockpot . I sew, do crafts , shop and call up my family and friends. I love love love being debt free and retired. I am busy with the Navy Business and volunteer at the LT Michael Murphy SEAL Museum.
Thank you for your up lifting 22:36 videos. God Bless you both and Dixie.❤️
You as well, Maureen! Thank you!
Seating on our back porch and watching the birds
Love it!
Got so used to your weekly vlogs that I actually missed you!!!
That's so nice to hear, thank you!
Going for walks outside on the nicer days, starting garden seeds, cleaning out the garden and the kids playing outside (then passing out early without prompt, lol). I was at our cousin's house on Sunday and the massive amounts of purple crocus was gorgeous!
All wonderful aspects of spring for sure!
Starting my day with daily devotions is a must. I also spend an hour a week in silent meditation at my church. If for some reason I miss that, my week seems incomplete. Taking walks and just enjoying the sunshine and warmer weather is usually part of my day. I plan on working in the yard and doing a general outside cleanup up as the weather permits. This afternoon I actually took a nap, which is not something that happens on a regular basis!!
Yes, I need my quiet Bible time as well!
Yesterday in Michigan it was 73°.. definitely felt like spring. I enjoyed using my free Merlin app to discover all the different birds that were in my yard. I'm also looking forward to cleaning up all the pinecones and broken branches from winter.
Sounds great!
What a warm comfortable way to spend a day. Best part of retirement is having the time to not only get things done but the luxury of having the time to enjoy doing them. I love the bulbs popping up in your garden. My daffodils were popping up all over the place and then we had three feet of snow. I noticed today that where the snow is melting those strong little spring blooms are already blooming again! Can't wait to see what you plant for the summer! Thank you for peak into spring.
Yes, we are so excited for our summer garden!
You are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for sharing your life experiences with us. I have learned so much from you and looking forward to even more videos.
You are so welcome! What an encouraging comment!
Putting out my hummingbird feeders is one of my favorite things..can hardly wait to see them again...
Us too!
My favorite springtime, low-cost or no cost activities, include going on plenty of walks during the day, and into the evening, listening to the birds, watching new buds sprout from the ground, and on the trees, and I like to hunt for birds Ness by staring up into the trees, and seeing how many big ones and little ones that I can spot. Call me simple, but I really do just enjoy being in nature and watching Nature and the animals do their thing. Low-cost things that I like to do around the house in springtime include sprucing up my mini patio garden of herbs, I’m going to buy one native butterfly plant to attract butterflies, making sure there’s plenty of birdseed out so I can bird Watch from my back patio, and tending to my indoor plants. again it’s the simple pleasures for me
All wonderful springtime activities!
I love washing windows inside and out on my house in the spring. They tilt in which is a huge help. Also love when we can put all the houseplants back outside. I have about 12 and four are 5 feet tall so I have so much room when they migrate to the porches. In Arkansas I can do this in a couple of weeks. Carole
I’m in Arkansas as well. Ready to move my plants outside too. I’m trying to be patient. Hard to do when it has been so warm.
Yes, spring is coming!
Gust potting around the garden looking at the bees and butterflies 💕
The best!
Dixie looks really comfortable
She's always comfortable LOL!
Spring means LOTS of OUTDOOR time!!! So much to do and enjoy…
Love your Mickey Pillows…Birthday Gifts?❤
Yes, several years ago from my niece!
Your day looks wonderful!!!! I will be retiring, Lord willing, September 1st. 🎉🎉🎉 And our days will look a lot like yours. Our home is our haven. ❤️❤️🏡🏡❤❤
YAY! Congrats!! How exciting!
Best time of year to open windows where I live before the heat is on . Makes me so grateful neither to hot or too cold but it won’t last long. Enjoying the slow steady pace you all take in your video .
Thanks so much, Dorothy!
I enjoy seeing the spring flowers coming up every springtime. Snowdrops from my late Mam's garden, lots of hellebores in different colours, then the crocuses, daffodils, and tulips. Paul showed us the chicks and hens. My dad used to grow them in turned out car tyres filled with grit and compost. My daughter now calls them 'tyre plants'! They're also known as houseleeks because they were used to repair holes in roofs in olden times. I now have some of my Dad's in shallow planters. 😊 My daughter said last week that all my plants remind me of someone, and she wants to make her garden the same! 😊
I invent ways of using up leftover food, too, as I don't like throwing money away.
Thanks for sharing your day. Blessings to you too. ❤
Yes, a lot of our perennials were given to us and they do share a lovely memory!
Your egg recipe reminded me of a recipe we got from a family friend years ago (close to 45 years ago). He called it "scrambled French toast". He mixed up his eggs, added a bit of milk, a dash of cinnamon and sometimes nutmeg then added cubed up bread. Then into a buttered frying pan! French toast but a little less messy work! We would drizzle with syrup until one time Mom figured out that adding the syrup to the egg mixture worked well too! Bon Appétit!
That is such a great idea! Thanks!
Y’all are a part of my routine each Tuesday and Friday. In fact, so much so that I get very concerned about y’all if there is no video on those days. This time I thought maybe y’all may have come down to your SC home since we’ve had some really nice weather in the last couple of weeks. We too are retired and are really enjoying our retirement years with simple living. We have always lived on a budget and it makes your life so much easier. Thank you so much for all the things I have learned from Frugal Money Savers. Your spirit is so contagious and I love how y’all care for and do for Paul’s parent’s. Keep up the great job!!
Thanks so much for the concern. Always check the community board here on our channel for any updates. We always post there when we are taking time off.
Weeding the garden and moving plants about if necessary whilst listening to the birds and watching them, heaven!
Love our birds too!
Wow Emmy, look at you and your beautiful bread! 😍 I've been making sourdough for a few years and it never looks that beautiful. Thank you for sharing your sweet life with us. Blessings to you both!
Thanks so much! There was an error at the end for baking instructions- I missed telling you a step in baking the sourdough bread! It should have stated bake at 500 for 25 minutes in a preheated cast iron pan with the lid on. **Then very carefully remove the lid of the pan with oven mitts and lower oven temperature to 450 and bake uncovered for another 20-25 min. I forgot to mention to remove the lid before the second bake at the lower temperature. Thanks!
I just love both of you y’all are so cute and I love your channel.Blessings to both of you ❤
Thanks so much, Diane!
We enjoy walking around a local pond. Always see some birds that lift us. Thanks for sharing. Blessings
Thanks for watching!
In Spring, I like to be out working in the garden. I enjoy spring cleaning my home and getting together things I no longer use to donate. Airing the house on warm days is refreshing too.
Love that!
G'day Emmy and Paul.
It's the beginning of Autumn here in ths Southern Hemisphere and the nights and early mornings are delightful. Like you I am a Very early riser.
Must begjn the day spending little time in prayer. That sets me up well for my activities. Love to spend time in the garden early and then do the household duties. Usually finish by 11 am so watch a dvd or read or play solitaire or listen to music. I am immensely grateful for All these blessings one of which is you 😁
Cheers. 💐
So kind! Thank you!
What a beautiful top! Great first breath of spring.
Thank you so much!
I loved every minute of this and thought it was such an excellent idea for a video. It's just so impressive that you both start your day at 5.30a.m. and get so much done.
I was stunned that you got all those blackberries for less than $2! What an amazing price.😲
Lovely to see Dixie again. She's such a sweetie.
There is a silverbirch tree which we can see from our living room window. Every Spring we look forward to seeing the buds appear. When the leaves first appear, they are a really vivid green, then they change to a darker green colour. We love to see the blossom trees and magnolia trees as well.
For us, Spring is a beautiful time of year and we love to go for walks and just enjoy the beautiful colours and scents of the season.
Enjoy the rest of your week. May God greatly bless you both as well.❤
Yes, 5:30 it is lol! We also go to bed by 9:00. We are definitely morning folks! Thanks, you as well!
I start my balcony garden in spring. I love to hear the birds while drinking my coffee. If I feel up to it ( I have severe arthritis). I'll drive to the beach or go to the state park and walk a little. Those blackberries! Oh my gosh! Lucky you!
Yes, I made jam this morning! It was delicious!
Marking that breakfast on Saturday looks delicious 🇮🇪💕
Hope you enjoy!
Loved this video! You two are so sweet and I have enjoyed being part of your UA-cam family for several years. Keep up the great work and inspiring words and videos. ❤
Thanks so much, Lisa!
Another great show. It was great seeing Dixie! It seems like she hasn’t been on the show lately. Wishing you and your family well in busy times.
In winter she sleeps a lot by the fire...lol! She has a very busy life LOL!
Hi Emmie, Paul and gorgeous Dixie. It was lovely to see how you spend your day. I never thought of using up bread in the way you did for breakfast but I will be giving it a go. Emmie your sourdough bread looked lovely and I bet it smelt gorgeous. Those crocuses were so pretty, my late mother used to love them and she was such a great gardener. Thank you both for sharing your day, I personally really enjoyed watching. Due to my mobility issues and chronic pain I can't walk too far without resting but I do like to take my dog Buddy with me for a stroll to the local park and my younger son goes with us, just in case I fall. We take a flask of hot tea and packed lunch boxes with a blanket and sit and watch the ducks on the pond. I love seeing all the spring blossom and the lovely flowers. Jack my son will take Buddy for a run and I will sit and read a magazine or book. When we get home Jack will make me rest and he'll make a cup of tea and bring up to me and then he'll wash up the lunch boxes and flask. Jack is my full time carer and is just 23. We get on really well along with my eldest son Matthew who lives about 10 minutes away. I'm so lucky to have two wonderful sons and Buddy my dog. Both of you take care and stay safe. kind regards Angeline ❤️ xx 🇬🇧🌺🌷🌸🏵️
Oh how wonderful you have someone to help you out, Angeline! Sounds like a lovely way to spend a day!
Your days are rich full and blessed
Keep on keeping it on.
Thanks so much, Chris!
I am still waiting for my spring bulbs to begin to peak out. So we are finishing up the pruning of our fruit trees, and fertilizing them all to help with springs production.
So fun!
Springtime treats are hanami (cherry blossom viewing but also other trees in bloom) and walks about the farm. When weather permits a picnic or break outside for some cloudy watching or evening stargazing is always a treat. Enjoyable, relaxing, and helps to re-center from stressful days.
So enjoyed this day in life!
Sounds so lovely!
Happy almost Spring! We love to take a walk in the park or along the canal in our city. We find places that have free music or go to free days at one of the museums. We enjoy readying the flowerbeds and veggie containers. Miracles and blessings to you both!
You as well, thank you!
Emmy and Paul it is so good to see you on. Missed you. Kathy Utah
Thanks, Kathy! We are happy to be here!
In the spring I enjoy cleaning off my front porch and I decorate it with throw pillows and hanging flowers. I enjoy getting to sit out there in the evenings after work. I have little strand lights that stay up all year. I turn those on at night, and they are the envy of the neighborhood! 😊
Sounds just lovely!!
I love spring! I get out and breathe the fresh spring air. I spend as much time outside as I can cleaning up garden beds, and walking around the yard daydreaming about future projects. The dogs and I take walks. Thank you so much showing us your day in the life. Take care.
You as well! Thanks so much!
Could not wait for today’s video! I truly missed your videos last week.
Thanks so much!
I have been to shady maple many times! It is incredible and I live about an hour away.I too love my morning peace and ritual...it is my time before the day gets really busy...super beautiful video! Thank you..am only watching with one eye as I have had surgery!
Oh I hope you are doing well and healing quickly!
Now that's living it, Emmy! It just doesn't get any better than that! We too are retired, debt and mortgage free! Here in Ohio 2 days in the 70s got to enjoy the beautiful sunshine and cleaned up the leaves too! Ready for gardening! GTSY again!❤
Love it!
We love the birds, year round. Spring time is very busy at the feeders and they are singing and chatting to attract their mates. I love sitting by the window or on the deck, listening and watching. Early morning is the best. It is quiet then the sun starts rising and gradually the birds wake up and sing their songs.
Warmer weather brings walks. I will walk the acreage, park away from my appts and errands and sttoll. Even though I live rural the roads are narrow, windy and can be busy, so I avoid the roads.
Yes, aren't the birds truly a gift!!
Emmy, you're such an inspiration.
Agree totally. A lovely Godly couple xxx
So kind, thank you very much!
I love spring because of the flowers. I live in Westerly, Rhode Island. The beautiful Wilcox Park is a 3 minute walk from my house. I walked there yesterday and there were flowers coming up everywhere. It really made my day after some dreary weather.
Wow, Westerly! I grew up in Rhode Island, miss my Ocean State! Wilcox Park is beautiful! Loved the fireworks back in the day
Oh how wonderful, Laurie!
I am a little bit confused over what you can buy in the US...I have seen channels comparing food that you also can buy in Europe..but in the US it is stuffed with all sorts of poisonous chemicals. And now I saw your not bleached flour..what on earth...is there really bleached flour you can buy?? In Sweden we want more of the whole wheat, so the flour will also be more brownish...
Today I was out in the garden, also raking leaves, my favorite Springtime activity!!! 🤗-gardening,I then put the leaves over the beds, making new dirt...my idea of gardening is a frugal garden, using old materials to almost no cost. I really enjoy your channel..thanks for all tips and tricks...greetings from Sweden🇸🇪
Yes, bleached flour is very much available here in the US. Never buy it though.
Thanks for this question, I never heared about bleached flour. Just took a little googling to find out that bleaching flour is not allowed in my country!
My husband puts out bird seed, we enjoy watching the birds. We also take our dog for a walk and enjoy nature.
Yes, we love our birds!
Favourite spring time activity is walking around a pond and listening to the birds. Amazing!
Love that!
Praise God Emmy and Paul , for the amazing sun rise ! And your tea and inspired book. Is there scripture in your inspired book?
It is a journaling Bible!
I missed your videos last week! So good to have both of you back.❤️
We are happy to be here!
Our local metro parks hosts wildflower hikes. The flowers lift our spirits.
Definitely!
Thanks for the great videos y'all do. Being frugal helps my home. I went over our budget to find ways to save and was able to save $130 a month . Me , my hubby and daughter combined our cell phone service into a family plan and saved $30 a month. Since we have a car that's not safe to drive right now but we still have to have insurance and tags (as per land lease agreement) we dropped full coverage and kept liability. $100 savings per month. I was so happy to be able to save that much per month.🎉.
That's so wonderful, Lynne!
I love to take a walks in the neighborhood and see what everyone is doing around there home waving hello and just enjoying the fresh air soon it will be time to work out side in the yard picking weeds and planting some flowers and doing just plain clean up I enjoy just being outside in the yard birds yelling dogs barking and it's perfect thank you for sharing your day with us..Also gonna try your sauce recipe looks delish😊😊😊😊.
Yes, so nice to see see everyone out and about!
Whenever Dixie is on the video it brings such joy. You and Paul have wonderful lives.
We are blessed. We just try and do our best with God's help and guidance!
I always look forward to spring because I am back up in Minnesota from being down south for the winter. My mother in law and I go to a wonderful little nursery and buy plants and plan our gardens. It's so refreshing and wonderful to see all the beautiful colors and new plants. It's kinda weird but I am harvesting down here in Florida as we are shutting down our little house down here and getting ready to go back.
Sounds great! Safe travels!
Walking at the park or in the hills are my favorite things to do.We are in the high desert 🏜️. Plenty of fresh air and open spaces. Really clears the head and takes the stress off. The desert is really the most beautiful in the morning and evenings. Plus it's free.
I have never seen a desert! I bet it is amazing!
We’ve had some warmer temps this last week and I’ve spent time on our backyard swing watching and listening to the birds, looking for the various bulbs popping up in the garden and the other day sowed snap pea, radish and kale seeds in our raised beds. I also switch out some of our blankets and pillows for spring/summer fabrics and give the windows a good cleaning.
Sounds great!
Such a FUN video!! I always LOVE the variety you present. Love to you and Paul...
Thanks so very much!
Your bread turned out beautiful. Truly an artisan loaf! Yum. Wonderful deals from Lancaster. I picked up a Flash Food veggie box (amazing) and got some loss leaders from Stop and Shop tonight. Normal prices are crazy! Spring is on the way! I like to get the garden beds prepped in early spring for planting in May when the threat of frost has passed. Have a wonderful week!
Yes, no planting until May boooo! LOL! Hope you are doing well, dear friend!
I enjoy walking outside in the spring.
So refreshing!
Since we live close to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, we will go to the Park and find hikes that have wildflowers. We have a book from the National Park that tells us what trails to take, and will identify many of the flowers that we will find. It's a nice way to spend the day outdoors, enjoying God's beautiful mountains.
That does sound absolutely wonderful!
I have bad allergies, so spring is a mostly inside time for me. But I still love flowers, so I enjoy sitting on the couch with a cat in my lap, listening to the rain or basking in the sunshine and looking at the blooming daffodils and all of the plants turning green in my yard.
Wonderful!
I generally only eat one meal a day. I’ll have a fruit, tea or coffee for breakfast. Skip lunch and then a complete dinner around 4:30 pm.
Spring is so wonderful. I love walking around my property to see all the bulbs blooming and tilling the garden up. It’s exciting thinking of what I can grow this year. This will be my first time growing beets. I love beets and could eat them every single day❤ So hopefully 😬it goes well.
I love beets too!! So delicious!
We’re morning people so as the sunrise gets earlier and earlier our spring mornings start earlier as well. After some quiet time we walk our dog a good two or three miles then explore our yard to see what life has burst forth. This is an early spring in the northeast and so far I’ve discovered chives, rhubarb and garlic coming up - yea!
During spring I focus on the hope and beauty of the Easter story. I love the visual demonstration our gardens and all of the natural world give us of resurrection. I’m grateful to live in this beautiful country on this beautiful planet. We are so blessed 😇
Very well said! Thank you!
So nice to have you back! I’m planning a trip to Lancaster this month and will stop at Shady Maple. My favorite spring time activity is taking my art work to a nearby lake and work on it there.
Oh yes! That sounds wonderful!
Wow! Look at all those crocus! 😊 Spring is in the air. I started my spring cleaning & sorted out clothing to donate. Made a wonderful pot of spaghetti sauc, like you did! So good. Homemade sauce. Relaxed with abook on the lanai. Fed our resident property cats. Simple dinner with pasta and salad. Great video on your day. I keep busy too the same way. Never forget to remember to be grateful at the end of every day. ❤ to you and Paul and Daisy 😊
Tina, so very true! Thanks!
We love to go hiking in the hills. Decluttering stuff that tends to gather over winter (how, why??😅) Getting into the garden is a joy for me as I love to watch the flowers and plants come to life. I think just being able to get outside more and feel some warm(ish) sun. Hope you, Paul and little cutie Dixie have a great day ❤
Thank you, Lynn! You as well!
I live about 20 miles from Lancaster, ivisit shady maple at least once a month love it also behind grocery store is a amazing green house.. maybe one day will see yu there🌞
Oh wouldn't that be fun!
When I was younger & walked a lot better, my favorite activity in spring & summer was to go foraging for wild foods. Free food, a great way to exercise tromping up & down steep hills & ditches, enjoying God's beautiful world!!!
Oh how wonderful!
Nice haul. Glad u had a nice break! We love walking in nature when the weather is nice.
We do too!
Love the egg and crusty bread recipe.
Very yummy!
I love the birds returning and warmer Temps. We live the west to the north In wyoming . So spring can be slow.
We have primroses poking their noses up. Hopefully they don't get frozen. I love the changes as they happen. Even the sunrises change
I love you share about your dog. We have 3 Brittany spaniels and they are a joy. We love lots of walks
Oh I bet your pups are just beautiful!
Beautiful bread! Yummmmm!
We love to spend time outdoors! Walking in the woods looking for wild flowers, watching the trees leaf out and birding.
I love that you shared your day with your online frugal family. It looks like a wonderful day to me. Our days look very similar and I so love our simple life. Feeling blessed ❤️. Thanks for a wonderful video.
We are so similar Mary! Thank you!
I love to see the Spring flowers and hear the birdsong
Us too!
Great video!
One of the things I enjoy is watching the birds.
We do feed them, but it is pure joy to watch them.
We go for walks when we can.
Just wonderful!
I love to go for walks and use my phone to photograph how nature is changing and coming back to life at this time of year!
Isn't that a joy!
I'm so glad to see you back. I hope you and Paul enjoyed your time off. I'm looking forward to watching the video later today.
Thanks, Dana!
Happy almost spring, we're jealous our gardens are still under 2 feet of snow! You touched on something that would be of interest to us frugal nerdy types ... your behind the scenes YT production. What editing software, camera equipment, and production items. Of course, can that be done on a frugal budget. We hear other YTers buying expensive production equipment and building studios, we want to do that on a frugal level, and who else to start our quest but with our favorite frugal couple!
No expensive equipment here! I use my iPhone to film, the editing software came with my computer.
It's a wonderful life.
Spring is my favorite time to wait for a warm, sunny day. I grab an outdoor chair, or if the ground is dry, an old quilt and a pillow, and my worn-out copy of Beatrix Potter's tales. Nothing says spring to me like those sweet critters and their shenanigans. I will neither confirm nor deny that the occasional nap is part of this spring-time ritual. I think it's time to normalize power naps outside in the sun. It was my favorite way to nap/rest as a child and will always be.
Honestly, I adore a good Power Nap lol!
Welcome back!!
I love spring and summer because I can go for my walks.
I hit my area free book bins
It's amazing what you find.
Not just books.
Love treasures like that!
Hello Emmy and Paul - welcome back! What a terrific video to return with. You could sell that bread at the finest Parisian bakery. I made your Baked Ziti over the weekend and substituted rotini. I could hear Emmy saying “use what you have”😊 I like it even more than ziti. Love getting out all my spring/Easter decor and “lightening” up the house. See you Friday!
Yes, rotini is great because all those swirls capture the sauce!
I live in a small town in Derbyshire, England. I love spring as the mornings and evenings become lighter. I work part time but my husband is now retired. We go walking with the dog and also start to prepare the garden, ready to get the plants out. Its a lovely time of year when things start to bloom !
Wonderful!
So glad your back ❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much!
You asked what we enjoy about springtime…ours is year round. In our free Bible app, each morning we both take our breakfast coffee and sit together. We silently read “the verse of the day” listed, then talk about what God’s saying and how we can apply it. This is free, and a wonderful way to keep growing!🥰👋
Love that so much! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful and relaxing day. All your meals looked delicious. Your bread is artisanal - such a pretty pattern you cut on it.
And seeing Paul in the yard gave me spring vibes. I am anxious to get the hummingbird feeders out next month.
Also loved your gorgeous colorful blouse- you looked radiant!
So very kind! Thank you!
As I was watching you rake the leaves, I was inwardly concerned about copperhead snakes. In Missouri, you have to be so careful because they love to create homes in cozy leaf piles. Not sure if it is a NY thing, but if it is, please be careful.
We have never had any here. I am sure maybe in the mountains...Now in South Carolina we see a snake a day at the Little House!
I'm always surprised when people (not just you! LOL) use plastic wrap to cover bread dough. My grandma taught me to use a clean kitchen towel. No waste and the towel should never touch the dough but if it's clean enough to dry your dishes it shouldn't hurt the dough if it does touch.
