    Also, I've said it before but the quality of editing, multiple camera shots, double imaging is above par. Wish there were awards given out on UA-cam. You guys would sweep up all the awards. Thanks again for all your work! So fun to watch and learn. 😀

    Love how Benjamin tells on himself when asked if he's been taking all the candles from the windows. He's such a sweet helper, sweeping up the cloves and pushing them in place. Darling child.
    Magnolia holds a special place in my Texan heart, as does seeded eucalyptus. Learning long ago that you ordered yours from your florist every year was a revelation. No more chasing it down here and there. Your mantel is just lovely. ~ Lisa
    Edited to add: I love Planterina! Thank you for introducing us to her. Those are some mighty fine hoyas. Lucky girl.
