    I do have a dishwasher but actually, I prefer washing up by hand. It’s just five-ten minutes of mindfulness. How the warmth of the water feels on my skin, the bubbles to blow in the air and watching the beautiful birdies with their song and catching worms or eating the food I’ve put out. It’s just nice to “be” in the moment sometimes and it’s helped me to have my medication reduced. Beautiful video. Lovely to “spend” time with you this Sunday. xxx

      I love washing my dishes with my hands - its just me as I live alone. I love the feel of the water against the dish and use the scrubby if needed. After using a scrubby - usually I don't need to - I test the plate under the water and my hand swirling around it. Such a lovely feeling; it almost feels like I am saying thank you to them.

    The Autumn is just settling in here in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia. Our first fires of the season are being lit, with the homey smell of woodsmoke hanging in the air. Autumnal leaves are turning all the colours found in the dying of the light; fire reds and bright oranges, while the last full roses hold onto their petals.

    Here in coastal Virginia the late daffodils, tulips & alliums are in full bloom. The trees are almost filled out and the foliage blocks any remote views of my neighbors. So I only have drapes in my bedroom. The rest of my windows look out at the woods, gardens & millpond. Even though I live alone (except for Guinness my Standard poodle) I never worry about privacy. I love watching the moonlight over the water & the sun’s early dawn light.

    Here where I live, at the shore in New Jersey, it is full-on Springtime. My favorite season. My lilac bush is days away from blooming and I can’t wait. The scent of the lilacs is intoxicating! Yesterday I took my daily trash walk on the beach ( I walk but also pick up the trash that’s washed up )
    and there were dolphins not too far out in the ocean. Seeing them rise out of the sea and then disappear and then rise again is one of the most beautiful sights in the world. I followed them for as long as I could see them but then they went further out to sea. It was a gift to be able to see them. I love the beach this time of year; it’s not hot yet and there are very few people. It’s so peaceful. 🐬🐬🐬

    Thank you, as always, for the joy you bring to so many these Sunday mornings - and greetings to all the marvelous Fairylanders who take the time to comment and share their spring stories (I've always maintained that the seasons should be capitalized to avoid confusion, such as in this instance where one could be talking about mechanics...). Spring is its predictable unpredictable self here in Maryland in the Mid-Atlantic in the US: still chilly nights but the days are mainly sunny and mild, so no complaints as I know the long hot and humid days of summer approach where one longs for the milder weather of April. As I type, 576 likes and not one detractor - this speaks volumes as to how loved this channel is. Thanks again to all for making this such a wonderful community - the best way to start a Sunday morning. Happy April to all (noting that for our Southern Hemisphere and Equatorial-inclined viewers that it's not spring)!

    You are inspiring me with your more simple lifestyle. I already do a lot of "country ways" and 6 months ago, I cancelled my cable tv. I dont miss it and can pick up the national news off my phone's internet and google a news site. I save 200 dollars a month by not having internet and cable channels off my two televisions! Plan to also sell one tv soon. I can play dvds off my tv without a contract and local libraries lend out movies for free. I prefer to read, so I buy books at thrift stores and have huge baskets of books next to cozy chairs and by bedside too. I read every evening and especially during rainy days. I have grown our own food for 35 years, canning, freezing and preserving. It was a simple, peaceful life in the country, but a few years back, my husband died unexpectedly. My friends and family urged me to leave our very isolated 40 acres property, so I sold home and land, moving into suburban allotment. I have tried it for several years, but have decided I am a country gal...not a suburbs city lifestyle woman. There are "rules" about height and style of fence, no gardening, no outdoor clothes lines, only inground pools allowed, colors of doors and shutters, no more than one pet, no wildflowers etc. Yep, too much rules and limitations for me! The house is up for sale and I am moving back to rural farmland, living next to some very much loved country kinfolk! I miss birdsong, whispering winds within treetops, the fresh air, etc.

    Spring is finally here in northern 🇨🇦. I went wild swimming yesterday at my favourite local lake near my wilderness home. I was busting ice with every stroke... it was more like water jogging than swimming... but I was in the lake instead of being on the lake. 99% of the lake is still frozen, but I am so happy to get into the water along the shore and start the wild swimming season once again. Good bye ice and snow...❄️🏊‍♀️🧊😃

    Here in Kentucky (US) Spring is coming along slowly but surely! The nights and mornings have been quite cool (cold some would say lol), but the afternoons and evenings are perfectly temperate imo (if it were 65°F year round I'd be a happy girl). After being awakened all winter by the harsh caws of huge crows looking for their breakfast upon the frost covered grass, it's a lovely change to wake to the sound of sweet birdsong coming from the families of cardinals, bluejays and robins we have in abundance. Not to mention how the light has shifted from a thin watery grey to a glorious golden beam! 🌞🐦🌷🌱💜

I must say the weather has been beautiful and almost perfect every day. I’ve been opening up the back door to listen to the birds and see the trees on our street, that were for a while blooming and now are green. I started a vegetable garden with potatoes, tomatoes, onions, sunflowers, and green beans. It’s my first time growing vegetables so there will be mistakes to learn from, I’m sure. Mostly it’s a great way to spend peaceful time outside in the beautiful spring weather.

    In my city we can’t hang out clothes ! Yep it’s a city ordinance , ridiculous really. I found that out via a letter , an unkind neighbor turned me in! Ahhhh I broke a law , a natural way of life, and saving in energy ... no , it was all about the look of a neighborhood....ughhhh
    So I had a second floor with balcony & I put ropes up to dry my things there😊
    I never got another notice. Luckily.

Of course the seasons don't cease changing here but they certainly aren't as distinct and varied as the seasons I know from my home. I'm happy to say that we're looking ahead at some likely changes with my husband's work and we should be planning a move within a year. If all goes well we'll be somewhere with actual seasons and to say I'm excited to feel close to the natural rhythms of the earth again would be a complete understatement!

    Spring here, in Northern NJ, USA. My early daffodils and scilla have bloomed, my candy tuft and phlox are beginning to show, and I see the buds of May tulips. Hostas are coming up, clematis has been leafing out and climbing for a few weeks now. There are violets in the grass. It’s Sunday night here, so that means a special dinner and handmade dessert. And if course, your latest video! My cat is on my lap as I write this, purring away! So, I spend some time petting her and talking with her. Reading or music after, until bedtime. Oíche mhaith. Codladh sámh!

    The daffodils are up, but the fire is still in at night in Eastern Canada. Rain and snow flurries make for cozy days in baking bread and cuddling in with family ❤️

    In South Ontario our lawns are very green from the increased rainfall and the trees are starting to bud. Some of the spring flowers like crocus and daffodils are blooming and although the temperature is slowly rising, we will still get a couple more light snowfalls, but the snow won't stay. Only the very hearty are going out without a coat and that does not include me!

    I went back and listened again to the "there's only 24 hours in a day that never changes. So we get to choose how we spend our day " cuz it really touched me. I've been thinking about this my whole life, since I was a girl and thought school was a waste of time. 🙏💜

    What a peaceful way to spend the evening. I work in the mornings, evenings and on weekends because of what I do so I tend to take walks in the late mornings and afternoons, that's my chore time or peaceful time depending on the weather. I enjoy my day off when I get to relax more and wind down before bed. Thank you for sharing this, I love your videos because they show me the life I'm striving to have in a couple of short years. 💛❤️💜

    Goodness, I got lucky in between lock downs and managed to get the exact same washing basket from my favourite local charity shop - such a find and isn't it wonderful to feel such joy from such a simple thing.. I didn't quite realise until then how much I dislike plastic baskets (and the problems with plastic of course), and am staggered by the degree of enjoyment I now feel with doing laundry with my beautiful basket. Us humans are funny things really. I love my laundry smelling fresh so much I even sometimes hang it out during winter for just an hour, then take inside again to dry over the radiators - especially with bedding, for me it's worth it..

    Hello, thank you for your video. I live on the Canadian prairies. Yesterday I was out in my garden wearing a t-shirt and feeling very warm. This morning I woke up to snow, rain and wind so I went for a walk with my winter jacket and winter clothes on. That's very typical for this area this time of year. We're supposed to be getting more snow in the coming days as well. Lots of people complain, but I don't mind. I absolutely love this time of year.

    Lovely video as always. We live on a lake, and I love scavenging driftwood for kindling. The beavers leftover twigs and branches get the fire going quickly. We still have to make a fire some mornings, but let it burn out by lunch time until evening, when we will light it again if temperature goes to the single digits. Overnight temperatures are going up steadily, so the morning ritual will be put to bed until fall soon enough. Like you, I also miss the fire in the summer😁

I live in a woodsy neighborhood with a couple of nearby parks so I am able to enjoy walking around while checking out my neighbors' beautiful gardens. There's Horse Chestnuts, Birches, Maples, and Evergreen trees along Ravenna Blvd and the cross streets. The birds in the evening are wonderful accompaniment on my walks. Jenny

    Just wanted to reach out and thank you for always sharing your glorious simple joys. You are such a wonderful inspiration. We have spring here in the suburbs of NYC (one hour north) Bulbs are all coming up, trees and flowering trees are returning. It is glorious. We had some 70° weather, but as usual April is fickle and while there is thankfully no snow, we’ve had some temps in the 40s. My seeds are all doing well, but I’m going to wait a bit before I get them out into the garden. I did direct sow a bunch of them that are cold hardy though.

    Spring here in CA, Sequoia Valley, is just gorgeous. warm temps and cool breezes. I'm decluttering and cleaning out winter clothes, trying on my spring/summer outfits. Really feels good to get this done...and is such a simple thing but as you said it is a ritual that marks the end of one season and the beginning of another. Night time routine is just putting things away, taking care of my kitties and getting my shower. Then some reading...Love your channel...find your videos very soothing. Thanks so much!

It was cool enough that I kept our fireplace going all day yesterday. 💕🔥 We are currently doing painting projects around the farm but the weather has caused a bit of a delay. It’s nice to slow down and really enjoy the day. I caught up with home care yesterday and it’s so good to wake up to a clean home. Thank you for sharing bits of your life so beautifully with us.

    We've had some lovely days in the southern US. Our routine changes very little. We do stay outside longer which pushes every thing back, especially eating (ugh). I do wish we could change our meal schedule, big meal earlier. I'm sure it would make a huge difference. But, my husband is a creature of habit, big meal and then a movie or two every night. It's exhausting. Have a great week!

    I used to live in a rock wall house. Once you got the walls warmed up a small fire kept it very warm. I loved that house. Sometimes I miss it.
    There is something about fire. When my dad lived with us, he would sit by the fire and smoke his pipe and stir the fire. It was very soothing to him.

I've been having some serious conversations with Old Man Winter as I'm not too pleased with him haha.
