- 🌨️❄️☃️These are the slow days of winter while the world is hushed with a thick blanket of snow. The nursery school poem says it with so much charm-
❄️Snow makes whiteness where it falls,❄️
❄️The bushes look like popcorn balls,❄️
❄️And places where I always play,❄️
❄️Look like somewhere else today.❄️
I hope you have a cozy day wherever you are and that you can make these cornmeal pancakes and a good pot of tea. I hope that you can eat them with someone you love and remember that simple things shared together; are such a joy.
Thank you for sharing this moment with me.❄️🫖❄️
❄️The Cornmeal Pancakes❄️
1 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup boiling water
2 tablespoon butter, room temp
1 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

-In medium bowl combine the salt and cornmeal. Slowly stir in boiling water and then put butter on top of hot mixture and cover with a lid. Let sit for 15 minutes.
-Add the remaining ingredients and stir well with a whisk.
-Using about 1/4 cup per pancake fry on hot skillet that has been well greased. When small bubbles appear on top flip pancake and brown the other side.

Cold outside, warm inside, an elegant brunch, pretty music, cozy fire, laughter, time with your pretty daughter, animals well cared for........that's my idea of happiness! You brought it all on again Gwen. Harvesting corn.....grinding corn.....baking corn cakes.....wow, and also the pinecone cups.....wow! ALL so pleasant to view! Great job Gwen and thanks to you for caring and sharing......LOVE IT!!!!
Hello Lizzy, it always brings a smile to my face when I see you have left a comment. You have such a nice way of saying things. Thank you so much and I am so happy you enjoy the video. Here are some flowers for you....🌸🌱🌷🍃🌸🍃🌷🌱🌸
Thanks so much Gwen.......flowers for Valentine's Day! I'm sure you will have some, too.@@inthegardenwithgwen
I love how you build the story! I truly enjoy all of your videos, they are wonderful, from beginning to end. Looking forward to the next one. Happy Valentines Day. 🌷
Thank you so much!
Watching you write that lovely note to come for breakfast made me wistful for my Mom. I am 73 and lost her when I was 38. She was only 59. I always love to see mothers and daughters sharing special moments together. And you do everything with such love that it is so heartwarming. Your property and lifestyle look so peaceful and tranquil. What a beautiful way to live.
Awwww what a heart warming comment. To have a mother that makes us breakfast is a blessing in life. It is such a sorrow to lose a beloved parent. ♥️
I soul heartedly share your sentiments. I am 72 and I lost my mom at 27, and she was only 49. I have to say when I read your comment it made me cry. It hit me like a ton of bricks. Not expecting that... wow... I miss my mom too. Even though so many yrs have passed. I don't think people realize while their still with us, how important time with them is so precious.
@@oneproudarmymomboston5960 yes, the heart never forgets
What a wonderful surprise this morning 🌄. I absolutely love your videos. We are getting a snowstorm here in Massachusetts tomorrow, so now I know what I will be making for breakfast, blueberry 🫐 Cornmeal pancakes,🥞 with sausages and a big pot of tea. 🫖. Thank you for the inspiration. Have a lovely day, Gwen. 💛
Oh it sounds so cozy! Enjoy! ❄️🫖❄️
What a lovely mother daughter experience.
I feel immensely calm while viewing your videos.
Thank you Gwen.
I am so happy to know you had a peaceful calm moment. Have a lovely rest of your day and I hope to see you again soon.
Loved when you laughed at yourself over the teapot incident! 😍 Beautiful, beautiful video, loved every moment!
Your videos are always so peaceful, calming & most delightful...I laughed too when you laughed about the tea explosion I'm glad you left that in. Good for the heart good for the soul. Your Allison sure is a beauty. Hugs & Smiles across the miles. D
Hello Donna, I have learned to embrace the imperfections of life and I am trying to learn how to not take myself to seriously🤣 Thus the tea explosion is a testament to my coming along in that direction..... and yes- Hugs and Smiles to you too 😘
Hi ! Your videos warm my ❤ so much.i Love how you always write your notes to invite some one over to have lunch with you. Your videos are so calming and relaxing. Thank you for letting us visit you for awhile and I enjoyed every minute of it. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed evening and stay safe my dear and Special Friend. ❤❤❤
Simply beautiful - these videos are indeed a pleasure to view Gwen. They inspire me in terms of cooking, gardening, housekeeping and hospitality. And the snow is so pretty. I look forward to your videos, thank you.💐
Thank you so much!
Gwen, your beautiful videos bring me so much peace and joy. What a lovely breakfast you had. I laughed out loud with you at the tea mishap! Your little dog following you on the outside path with his/her tail wagging, was just precious. I look forward to the next one. Have a beautiful week. 💗
Thank you Debbie.❤️
Welcome back dear Gwen!
Been waiting patiently!🌷
Thank you! 🤗
And now, I save the best for last. A new video from Gwen. I was at church today when this video went live, so I was mot able to participate in the live chat. At last a new video from Gwen!! I have been waiting for this video. To think I only recently discovered your UA-cam channell and I have already binged watched your 17 videos almost 3 times. I am currently at 9 of 17 on my third go round. How delightful. I just love ❤️ your videos. Very sweet video Gwen. This is the first time I have seen corn meal made from corn from scratch. Wow. How intriguing.
Oh I can't tell you how you warm my heart and make me laugh that you have enjoyed the videos so much. One of the delightful things I have unexpectedly discovered about YT is connecting with others who enjoy the same things I do. You know so often we feel alone in this wide world but here in a a little video about the garden and growing our own food and sharing it with others we find the joy of finding others like ourselves. 🎵🎵🎶♥️🎵🎶🎵
Absolutely, Gwen. I totally agree. I love gardening. It's my happy place. I also love and I am good at exterior and interior decor. Quick question: I am doing a little welcome spring tea party for my friend and I on my deck. I want to do sconces. Where can I purchase the cream and jam thing....to put on the sconces? I am not so good with cooking like you.
Hi Gwen, Did you see my question to you in my message above re my little welcome spring tea party and stuff to put on the sconces? The classic thing to put on top of the English sconces for an afternoon English tea party are Devonshire cream (clotted cream) and jam. Do you know how to make Devonshire cream?
Greeting Dear Gwen, Your daughter is lovely! I love your time together is special.. I wish my daughter lived closer!! I love blueberry pancakes , the closet I have made homemade cornmeal pancake was from a box of Jiffy mix cornbread , haha. Is your husband a farmer? your property is beautiful! could you share where the new birdfeeder/house was from?? Hugs &blessings Paula p.s. I truly find your channel so joyful Thank You !!
Hello and thank you for such a nice comment. My son raised the corn as we have a little farm on the side. The bird feeder is from a Company called Good Directions. They have a lot of many lovely gardening items like bird feeders, houses and bird baths. Hope you have a lovely week and hope to see you back to the channel soon.
@@inthegardenwithgwen Thank you so very much.. oh Yes I will definitely be here !!
Such a pleasant surprise to be able to watch your soul satisfying videos and chat with you during a premiere! The snow is like a wonderland up there! I've never made cornmeal pancakes, but think I'd like to now!😊 Have a blessed and beautiful week, Gwen.😉
Thank you for joining in. It was really a special time for me. Have a lovely week too. ❤️
This was wonderful!
Thank you for sharing with us these simple and nice beautiful moments of your daily life. You are such a good person, but leaving in the city is difficuld for many of us to do this way of living.

❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good luck my dear colleague
Hello and thank you for the lovely comment. 🍃🌸🍃
Gwen, what a lovely video! You managed to show both the hard work of winter, and how beautiful it is as well! I am learning to try to embrace the beauty of winter here in Michigan. The breakfast with your daughter was so wonderful! I lost my mom two years ago and now I realize I am the one that has to carry on the traditions with my own two daughters. Thank you for the inspiration!
Hello Jennifer , Thank you for such a lovely comment. I am sorry to hear that you lost your mom. It is so heartbreaking to loose a beloved parent. I just lost my dad last October. ❤️ Yes, make many happy memories with your daughters! 😊
Well I’m all caught up with your videos and a bit sorry for it for now I’ll have to wait for the next one. Enjoyed all of them.
I’ve been a bit confused about the seasons in the last few, are they in real time or are you jumping back and forth in your timeline in order to show the process from start to finish?
Hello Helen, sorry for the confusion. Yes I do go back in time occasionally in order to tell the story of the thing I am growing. I am still learning how to tell a story with pictures. Hopefully I will get better at it and it will,have a better flow. Anyway thank you for the comment as it helps me a lot . I know the things I have to work on. Thank you for the nice comment and I am so happy you have enjoyed the videos.🌱🌸🌱
Beautiful video! Your daughter is stunning 🤩
Thank you!
You daughter is as lovely and elegant as you! My heart was touched by you putting your hand on the glass as your daughter departed. That is true Momma love! 💕
Thank you so much! ♥️🖐️♥️
☺️☺️Darcy is sooo adorable🥰
Gwen, I am a new subscriber to your channel, and I will repeat what many have said.....your videos bring me such peace and joy! For me, the simple things in life are what makes me the happiest, like everything you did here today. Writing letters, collecting pinecones, feeding the birds, playing with our furry friends, cooking and baking, working in the garden, and spending precious moments with loved ones ..... these are the things that make life so special! Looking forward to seeing you again!
Oh your comment just touches my heart. It makes me so happy to connect with others who enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Welcome to the channel and welcome to our little growing “community” of In The Garden folks.🌱❤️🫖❤️🌱
We all need to enjoy the little things in life. Thank you for sharing! 😊
what a wonderful life
Had to jump back on and say what a beautiful daughter! How wonderful that she will always have this video to re-live this sweet, precious moment with her Mama. I am fairly new here. Do you live alone, since I see you doing all the chores. Do you have other children? And your little dog is adorable!
Hello, your comment gave me a little lump in my throat. 🥹 So nice to have you here! I have 4 grown children and just this year I became a Grammy. My husband and I live in a little country village in New York state in an old house. My husband is a very hard worker and stays busy with our business and ministry but does not like yardwork or housework or garden projects.🤣 He mows the grass for me though as mowing involves horsepower. 😀 Sooo, I am the "handyman"around the house. I guess I am what they now call a "Trad" [traditional] wife. My little dog Mrs Darcy say hello...
@@inthegardenwithgwen how sweet of you to take the time to reply. Now I know a little more, the videos will be even more special. I love that you are a traditional wife. Looks like a lovely way to get exercise and fresh air! Have a happy day.
Love the start to finish-so beautiful-
Very nice, hello from Virginia, new friend here.
Hello and welcome to the channel. I grew up in southeastern Va! 🍃❤️🍃
Yummy!
Hi Gwen, Me again. So what was it you were dipping the pine cones into? Was it to give the pine cone a snowy and wintry look? What was it you were making in the muffin tins with cedar leaves, pine cones, orange peels etc. This is what I want to do when I retire.
Hello Monica, I dipped the pinecones in melted wax to make fire starters. If you watch in the video when I go to light the fire I use the little starter from the muffin tins and the dipped cones to help start a fire. ❄️
@@inthegardenwithgwen Ok got it. The stuff in the muffin tins and dipping the cones in that stuff were for fire starters. I have a wood burning fireplace in my basement, but I have never used it. I have to get the chimney swept/cleaned. I just never did it, as I am so scared of fires. I use the electric fireplace instead.
Lovely video! So much snow!
Yes it was! So glad now to be seeing green grass!🌱
I enjoy your videos so much!
Thank you so much!🌱🌷🌷🌷🌱
What a beautiful video ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Can’t wait to watch!
Outstanding video ❤
Glad you think so!
as always...just lovely
Thank you so much 😀
Beautiful video!
Thank you very much!
Hello so far away. Very nice to see you again. What great ideas and inspiration. T. Y. God blessed you with many birds to be part of your family. My mother used to say ....penny for your thoughts....you seem to me to be remembering something.....i understand. Those beautiful girls and little dogs love you so much. Come back soon
P.S. i only found you in December so i know nothing about you other than youre retired upstate NY you love dogs, birds, and gardening. Simple slow life and cooking. And you like the color chartreuse and tea.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. So nice to hear from you.
Video bellissimo 😊
Thank you so much.🌱❄️🫖❄️🌱
Your breakfast looked so delicious. You and your daughter are so beautiful, and your fur baby is adorable. Loved the tea mishap, too funny.
Thank you so much!
Welcome back great video greetings from Africa Uganda
Hello Thierry or is it Munseu? I know in Uganda they put the given name last. Did you ever make maise pancakes? I know in the village of Uganda I have eaten something like a cornmeal pancake. It was made from posho and then made into a pancake. It was cooked over a small fire pit made with 3 stones and a fire made with long sticks. I miss Uganda and all its children and happy people. Thank you so much with blessing us with your comments.
@@inthegardenwithgwen yes they do it in village I have small ministry I do I would like to tell you more about it, do you have an email?
Hello, my contact is in the description.
@@inthegardenwithgwen I don't see it please check on my description you will see mine
@@inthegardenwithgwen hello have you seen my email? It's on my description
This is such a beautiful and peaceful video! Your friend is so pretty!
Thank you so much! It is my daughter and I know I am prejudiced but I think she is very pretty to. 😊
Looking so forward to watching 😊
Благодарю вас!!! Какое прекрасное, атмосферное видео!!! Каждый раз получаю удовольствие от просмотра. Милая женщина, кланяюсь вам и говорю спасибо 🙏💓

👏🏻👏🏻
Lovely!
Zone 7
Love everything you present! 🌹
Thank you so much!
I have a Komo Fibius Classic mill and I’ll have to try corn!
It was so oddly satisfying to grind the corn and make the pancakes. I felt like a pioneer woman. 😆
I loved the tool you used! Great job!
Wonderful! Thank you for the inspiration and beauty! What kind of herb did you add to your tea?
Hello, the herb I put in the tea was sage. It makes a really nice tea. This time I used it with black tea and blueberries but my favorite is sage and garden mint. 🌱🫖🌱
Thank you for confirming Gwen. I thought so but wasn't sure about the flavor combination. But I'll definitely dig out my snow covered sage plant too to give it a try :)! Wishing you a great day. @@inthegardenwithgwen
I had a glich and not in the live any longer 😢
Oh no I hope you figured it out. It was so nice to have you join in. Thank you so much!
@@inthegardenwithgwen I am so glad you did a premiere ✨️ Thank you for the content and conversation that I did get to join in on.
