Scared in the woods?? (story 56)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лис 2023
- Welcome to my channel where I share my simple and peaceful cottage lifestyle. Without a doubt, the question I get asked the most from you lovely ladies is this: Aren't I scared to go wandering around in the woods by myself? The short answer is "no". The full answer is in this week's video : )
In this video, I also make a batch of fire cider and paint an envelope for my green bean seeds that I collected from the garden.
Here are the ingredients I used in this batch of fire cider:
Raw Apple Cider Vinegar: aids in digestion, fights infection, clears the sinuses
Onion and Garlic: antibacterial and antifungal properties, high in antioxidants, detoxifying
Citrus: high in vitamin C, reduces inflammation, aids digestion
Rosemary: powerful antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties
Thyme: expectorant and antibacterial properties, supports the respiratory system
Ginger Root: antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, relieves indigestion
Hot Peppers: such as cayenne pepper, habanero increase circulation, boost metabolism, immune system support
Turmeric: antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties
Subscribe to my channel to stay updated on my journey and embrace the peacefulness of simple living.
Thank you so much for being here! And as always, I'd love if you leave a comment and let me know how things are going in your neck of the woods!

MY WASHING MACHINE ... people often ask what brand it is, and if I like it! The answer is ... yeeees! It's a Costway portable machine and I LOVE it! It's not nearly as fast and efficient to use as a regular washing machine. But if you can't have one for any reason, this little guy can be a real life saver. I don't see the exact model that I have any longer by Costway. But this seems to be the closest thing: amzn.to/3RK7etz

Just want you to know that when I see that you have a new video posted I can't wait to watch it. Seeing you and Charlie always warms my heart. Thank you for sharing your life and little boy with us. Much love ❤️.
That makes me so happy : ) I'm so glad you enjoy the videos! Charlie and I send love right back to you : ) ❤❤❤
I say this every time, but thank you! I so enjoy your videos - it just makes me breathe deep and completely enjoy the scenery and thrift shopping! You really should just find a large canvas to paint over and do that painting yourself! You are a talented artist! Stay warm and wishing you many blessings, peace and joy!
Thank you : ) And I'm so so glad that you enjoy the videos!!!! That makes me so happy! Have a lovely weekend!!❤❤❤
I love your voice and positivity . You make me calm and appreciate nature.
Be safe
that is what I was thinking too
Charlie is soo cute. I know he is a lot of company to you. I have 3 cats that keep me busy. LOL. My oldest, Dusk, is like my shadow. I love walking in nature.
There is a park west of me I frequent, which has wonderful hiking trails. And, yes, most of the time I hike alone! There have only ever been a few times I have felt uncomfortable on those trails. Like you, I listen to that shift in energy and turned my butt around! Most of the time, there are no bears here in my area, thankfully! However, I'd be more afraid of a mountain lion! I admire your love of cooking and preparing food. I have a hard time doing all those things just for me. And, I don't like to peel and chop, so there's that LOL. I completely understand the need for warm boots. I have a terrible time keeping my toes warm in the winter. Buying warm boots isn't a treat; it's a necessity!!! I think you made the right decision with the painting. Your place is lovely just like it is! And, even if the picture goes home with someone else, there is ALWAYS another picture! Thrift stores are loaded with them. Have a blessed day, Kate! 😊
Ooooo...$125... that's steep in my thrifting mind as well. I'd even struggle at $50. Summer wool come, rummage sales will be alive, and you will find more beautiful art for a lot less. Thanks for continuing to share your boho lifestyle!
My house is full of jars of elderberry fire cider! I LOVE it! I love it as salad dressing also! Such a powerful tool against sickness!
That’s so scary, i’m so sorry she attacked you! Thanks for sharing a difficult story.
I walk here in Stockholm by myself during the day and fortunatley it’s completly safe but i still keep an eye
Hello kate an beautiful Charlie hope you guys are keeping warm,So beautiful watching the snow there,We dont get snow here,So watching your wonderful videos is such a beautiful feeling of happiness, l agree buy the things you need the most,l always have to think before l buy as the cost of living isn't cheap thrifted or not,Yes the black friday sales came but l had to buy food,An for my fury boy he needed some too,So stuff like this always comes first,Anything left😮 Might buy something at the thrift shop thats my favourite thing to do 😮Have a wonderful week an weekend kate an Charlie,stay warm an well,😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
I did say to buy the flower painting but considering the price tag I say Paint one . Be careful and enjoy nature.and Thanks for the recipe.
I’m a big believer in listening to my gut reactions, if something doesn’t feel right I simply don’t do it. On a couple of occasions during the years I’ve over ridden a “don’t do it” feeling because it’s been something I really wanted to do and it’s backfired on me so I’d never do that now. The woods near your house are lovely for an autumn walk and it’s lovely to see you as usual 😊💛🌹
Charlie has the cutest little wiggle when he walks in a hurry or happy fashion 🐶💞 so adorable, I'm so happy you carry spray, have a wonderful weekend, love is the key, always 💞
I made my fire cider almost a month ago. Can’t wait to start enjoying it. Thanks for your videos, I love them and enjoy nature and hiking like you do. I also hike with friends but enjoy my alone hikes too. I have never seen a bear on my hikes but have seen snakes. I saw a bear on my property twice. One even came into my garage but left when she saw me. A few minutes later I saw her with her cub.
I am right there with you on the need to put practicality first. I bought a house in August and have discovered "move-in ready" actually meant "so many hidden problems you will spend a zillion dollars you don't have making it habitable." I was so excited as a first-time home buyer to do all the things to make it the perfect cottage -- painting, thrifting, treating myself to a brand-new brass bed and new mattress after a lifetime of second-hand and "making it last" -- and all I have spent my time, money and energy on have been structural problems and mold remediation. We still haven't moved in yet because every time we open a wall or shore up the foundation, we find another thing that needs to be done. We're hoping to be able to move in January, but all Santa is bringing this year is hopefully an electrician to fix the outlets in the kitchen so I don't plug in a toaster and become toast myself. I feel you, girl. I see you.🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠
Hugs to you 🤗🤗🤗
@wendyreynolds8940 - why didn’t you get an inspection?
@@RamseyUnit I did--the first one was with an inspector who should have his license revoked--but we didn't know that at the time. It wasn't until after we bought the house that we realized we hadn't been given the full picture. That's when we had a second inspection by a different inspector, who revealed so much more that we should have been told in the first one. Lesson learned? Not all inspectors are competent. You don't want a doctor who graduated at the bottom of her class in med school--and you don't want an inspector referred by your realtor. Ever.
Good for you for being practical Those boots and socks are vital to your walks! Maybe you could replicate that painting yourself. You are a wonderful artist. Try it!!!
Hmmm ... that's true! I might try : ) Thanks!!! And have a great weekend!❤❤❤
Oh goodness, practical items - especially things to get you through winter - far outweigh the painting, as lovely as it is. I hope we didn't put undue pressure on you. If you're near that store thru the holidays, maybe pop in to see if they're running a sale? And perhaps a layaway plan? 🤞
I think your advice about solo hiking is spot on. Having an air of calm self-confidence is noticed by others, and someone looking for a victim won't run that risk. I've had the same astonished reactions to driving places by myself; i.e., NYS to Arizona this time last year. I adore road trips, and that one has even more meaning now because my dear friend who I visited passed away three months ago. I'm beyond grateful that I went. And I feel it's much scarier to think about not having those experiences and connections than it is to do them by oneself.💞
I'd never heard of fire cider but you now have me very curious! 😋
Thank you for sharing another slice of your life with us. Wishing you and you little guy a lovely weekend. 😍
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend : ( I'm glad you were able to make that trip!!!! Solo road trips can be so much fun. It's such a different experience than doing it with others!!!!! Hope that you have a lovely weekend!❤❤❤
YOU are the REAL cottage fairy! My favorite. Also, weren’t those Charley’s Green Beans?! I hope the picture is there when you go back. Love your channel!
Yep that’s what kind of green beans they are…his! 😂
I feel at my happiest walking in the woods, on my own, or with my rescue greyhound Madge, and also walking in the dark where I live. But it is an isolated rural spot, so it is humans I am afraid of, not the wild animals here, in West Devon, England. xxx
I’ve been rewatching your past videos because you are my favorite ray of sunshine on UA-cam!!! Thank you for all you do ❣️
I think like you, if the beautiful painting is meant to be yours it will still be there when you can afford it. If it's not there it wasn't meant for you and something better will turn up ❤️
I had no idea that the painting was priced so high. I would not spend that kind of money on it. I have so much, but never that much extra to spend on myself, alas.
Enjoy all you have!
Kate I so appreciate your life in so many ways. Your love for nature is so refreshing. I love watching your videos! They are so calming, thank you for sharing them with us! ❤
Walking in nature is therapy for the mind and soul. No distractions . At that moment in time, you are one with the universe! But I would never, ever walk in the woods alone. The whole time you were talking, I was scanning the background for movement , or a person. I would always feel like someone is watching. Like you said ... waiting for someone to walk up behind you! It is my gut feeling. As for the painting... ask if the seller would take less. Many times they will... especially if it's been sitting for a while. It costs nothing to ask. Or , if you can make payments. Sometimes the heart just wants what the heart wants.
Perhaps the woman in the van was your guardian angel being how you felt his breath. WOW! I love you and I treasure your sacred heart. Big hugs Beautiful!😍😇❤
So funny that you talked about walking in the woods alone because I have definitely thought about it while watching you, but I never commented so as not to unnecessarily scare you. Sometimes I have to shake off a slight sense of fear in order to continue feeling the serenity that I love when I watch your walks. I am so glad you do take precautions and are not at all naive about any possibilities. In any case, I can almost feel myself walking right there with you when you are out in the woods, and I adore the peace that fills me. Love from Catherine in the Harlem Valley
I always loved walking alone too, you see so much more when someone isn't talking to you. I've seen bears many times and they've never bothered me as long as you respect their space. I did have a scare once.....I was hiking at a thickly-wooded nature preserve and enjoying being all alone, when the town's fire sirens went off loudly. Suddenly I heard the howls of dozens of coyotes howling all around me at the sirens, it was ear piercing! I looked through the brush and saw glowing eyes looking back at me. They didn't come out, but it made me aware that I wasn't "alone" there. From then on I carried pepper spray, pocket knife and a pocket air horn. I'm still not scared of animals as much as people though, lol.....most important thing is NEVER wear earbuds or headphones that keep you from hearing whats coming up behind you.
Yes, always necessities first. If you're meant to have it, the painting will still be there, if or when you decide it's the right time. Take care in the woods. 🤗
Katie, thank you for the great recipe. I will definitely make that. I appreciate all you said in this video, and can truly understand how wonderful and healing a walk in nature can be. Just remember, you cannot outrun a hungry or angry bear. At the least, have a strong bears pray to use immediately should the need arise. I am keeping you in my prayers. Hugs..Pat
I'm glad you enjoyed it! And yes! There's no outrunning a bear! We only have black bears in this area and for the most part, they have no interest in us humans. But you still have to be smart and be careful : )Hope you have a wonderful weekend!❤❤❤
Thank you for another beautiful, peaceful video.
Thank you for being here : ) : ) ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your videos. They simply me happy and relaxed.
I love the little things you are paying attention to.
I love your looking for the bright side of things and life.
I love your smile that comes from the inside.
I love how you listen so well to yourself and follow your intuition.
I love your taste in colors and how you mix everything in such an harmonious way.
I love that you are focusing your energy on making good for yourself and others.
Thank you so much for reminding me all that every video. 🙏💜
So much to say-I love the mustard colored pitcher on your table, and how you make all the simple things in life valuable in so many ways. Tell us your favorite teas for which time of day! Girl, you have a following❣️
Aw, thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video : ) Lately I've been drinking a lot of chamomile and mint teas. But I also really love raspberry leaf, too! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!❤❤❤
I've found that lemon ginger tea with probiotics seems to help my digestive issues. I also drink green tea, and sometimes at night I drink Sleepytime extra with valerian root. Thanks for sharing the recipe of fire cider!
I’m glad you are being so aware and careful on your walks! I have had my concerns for you I must admit!! I heard instead of pepper spray you should use bear spray because bear spray sprays further so you don’t have to be to close to a person!! Love the recipe for the salad dressing!! Hope you and Charlie have a wonderful holiday!!🤗
I agree. I've been worried about you too. I hope you ALWAYS tell a friend when you are going out walking alone, and WHERE you will be, and when you expect to return home.
Hmm ... that's a thought! Thank you : ) Hope you have a fabulous rest of the long weekend!!!!❤❤❤
Painting was fab but it's not gonna keep ue feet warm!❤
I love your channel so much💜🍁 thank you for all you do. Your content makes me feel so good, peaceful and inspired.
I agree, necessities are more important. I did say get the painting, but of course only if you could swing it. ❤
With all the craziness going on in the world I just love the calming nature of your videos. Thank you 🙏🏼 and always follow your intuition.
I was never scared until I lived in NC 5 miles up on a mountain and it was an experience I never want to do again. I moved to town and bought a place in town in WV. Be safe sweetie.❤😊
It's so important to feel good in the area in which we live. I'm so happy you have a spot that works now!!!!!! Have a wonderful weekend!❤❤❤
Your videos are always so calming. I enjoy walking in nature as well. I recently bought dog pepper spray as I’ve been approached twice by large aggressive dogs in recent months. The second time I was in my own yard and the dog bit me but luckily only got my pants. We also have bobcats, coyotes, and cottonmouths in the area so I have to be careful and aware while walking.
Kate, your videos are a breath of fresh air for me! We think a lot alike, and I really admire your ideas and talents that you share with us! Thank you my friend and thank you to the darling Charlie! May you both always be blessed!
I just have to say blessings to you. I love when people carve out their own path and find their own happiness like this - appreciating all the beauty that is around us, finding much in what some people call little (but I don't), and living in a state of thankfulness, doing it your own way. Everything is just lovely and, of course, a loving pet is the icing on the cake.
Charlie always brings a smile 🐾. He certainly didn't want to walk around looking for the perfect spot in the cold !
Here in the desert we're getting the rain you had and the trees are singing. You brighten the day sweet girl and I thank you for sharing your life. I totally agree that you are talented enough to paint something just as pretty 💜
P.S. socks and bras are necessities 😉
I love your videos the journey you take us on is wonderful . I loved the camera angle of your kettle and you making a cup of tea I actually felt so cozy watching. I can't get out that much now but I enjoy watching you walk in the woods and the way you love nature it's amazing to me how I feel the sunshine on my face . Yes I find your video,s very lively and they have the feel good factor. Keep um coming.❤
I wish I was willing to live like you in all four beautiful seasons. I could not stand the cold. I'm in Texas. Thanks for sharing nature with us. I see the Hudson River as one of God's gifts. Again, thanks.
A beautiful video as always. 💖 I'm glad you don't walk/run at night- it's not safe anymore! Your first snow ❄ and Charlie was so cute. I have a lab who is always hot so she loves the snow. We still have not gotten more snow after that first snow melted. It's been a longer than usual Fall for us (which I've loved), but I think I am ready for snow now. Your recipe sounds interesting- I've never made anything like that but. might give it a try. Thanks for always showing us new things and a sweet view on life. 💞
Stay warm and safe! 😊
The trees and nature spirits will feel your love and appreciation of them .. which will strengthen and heal them .. (a wonderful antidote to all the destruction that humans have caused the natural world).
Thank you for doing this healing work as part of who you are…
Thank you for sharing the fire cider. I so need to do that. Loved the snow. Stay safe and warm. 😊☕️
I used to hike by myself, but i was younger. A ranger told me i shouldn't hike by myself without taking a gun with me. I'm 65 now and don't have the strength i once had. I figured i was strong enough to take care of myself. Not so much. I have nerve damage in my arm after neck surgery where a nerve was damaged. So now i hike with my husband or friends. 🧡
I LOVE being alone in the woods!! It’s my healing place.
So excited about the snow!! ❄️😃🩵
It's a delight to watch your vids from Australia...you live in such a beautiful place. Like everyone else here I really enjoy how natural and lovely you are. Even though the painting is by the same artist as your favourite, you're more than talented and artistic enough to create your own work of art to display. 🦋
The great thing about being in the woods when the leaves are down is visibility! Not only for the views but for general safety. As a fun complimentary project for the fire cider, fermenting garlic cloves in honey is so easy and makes a really interesting tangy mellow sweet garlic honey which would be fab in your salad dressing!
Lovely video, the one advice I would give is to add a little freshly ground black pepper to anything you put turmeric in. Black pepper has a compound in it that makes the turmeric much easier for your body to absorb(2,000% increase).😊
I don't see how you do it. I could never live alone like that out in the woods, you are much braver than I could ever be. Plus I would feel SO alone! But you seem to be very happy there, so I'm glad for that. Your little cottage is so warm and cozy looking. 😊
In her outside videos it looks like she has neighbors nearby.
I definitely need people, too!!! I definitely spend time with friends nearby and I do have neighbors : ) But my introverted soul does enjoy being alone in the woods, too : ) Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!!!!!❤❤❤
Yes! I have lovely neighbors!!!!!!❤❤❤@@SISSYKAY
Good Morning! it's Saturday, and l sat down to have my morning coffee and found you. First let me say that l love your cottage and the simple life you live. l also love the recipe, which l will be making this coming week, since l have all the ingredients. Thank you and see you in your next video!
so beautiful when it snows in the woods isn't it? If the painting is meant to be it will be there when you can afford it. Love the fancy bean envelope you made for your seeds. That's talent! I got some horseradish root to put in cider vinegar. Going to make a batch tomorrow. Thanks for the recipe. blessings to you
You bring a calm and peace to me!
LOVED this video 🥰 Confidence becomes you. Per "the painting"...........STICKER PRICE SHOCK!!!!!!! Leave it for the Spring. Offer them $25 and tell them you know it's been there for several months. You're making the Smartest decisions. Happy Winter to you and Charlie! 💚&💎. -V
I have been watching you since day one. I really don't even know how I found your channel. But it is one of the best channels I have found, and I am delighted by every video. I have cried with you. I've laughed with you and I have happily sighed at the beauty of nature with you. I thank you for what you bring to the world and to all of us within each and every video you create. Thank you from my heart to yours.
PS always follow your gut instinct as it will never let you down.
Oh gosh, $125- $150 IS ALOT of money for anyone, so don't at all feel bad or the need to explain. I didn't realize it was an antique store, I thought it was a thrift store and that the painting was about 5 - 15 dollars and the main issue was about not having the space to hang it! Oh dear. Usually people will barter with you - if you do want it and it's still there you could offer what you could afford and if that's $25 or $50 then so be it. They will take the offer or leave it but you should have a bottom line of what you will pay. And if you keep going in and it's still there..make your same offer again. The antique dealer probably got it for next to nothing and will be happy to move her merchandise rather than hold onto it. 'Little Poet's' (youtube) experience of buying a painting in an antique store where she moved to. She could not afford to pay what was being asked and as she shopped, the man kept reducing the price as she had told him..I only have ex amount in my wallet, which was true...he gave it to her for next to nothing and she walked out with the painting! Thank you for sharing your experiences in the woods and on your run. Glad those are behind you and you never have to encounter anything like them again. Praise God that woman was there to pick you up - she may even have been an angel on assignment! Love you explaining what all the foods and herbs do for us...I am a Virgo earth girl so love all things nature and natural medicines.The snow falling in big fat snowflakes looked really beautiful. Love your videos. Blessings from Canada's west coast!
Thanks again for all the effort you put in for us, Kate. Loved it all. Best wishes to you and Charlie.
Lets SEE those warm winter boots!!!
Hello from England 👋 I’m so pleased to have come across your channel. 🌟🌟
You are so right about winter being breathtaking, because it’s the only time you can enjoy the artistic intricacies of a trees limbs 😁🙌🥰 I’m also in complete agreement that you should always trust your instincts.
Hugs 🤗 🤗🤗
Was curious to see if you got the painting, but considering the price and that it won't keep your feet warm, I think the boots were the smart choice. If it's meant to be, it'll still be there and maybe marked down a little. It's good to trust your gut and I don't walk in the woods without my Siberian husky and even so always, carry pepper spray. And you know every once in a while she'll stop, stare at nothing, and decide we should turn around so I listen to her gut feelings too! Thanks for the video, I subscribed and wish you a peaceful week !
I live in The Netherlands and I love walking in the woods that surrounding my town. I know my way because they are the place where I am really at home.
The wild pigs are beautiful to look at but I don't like to find them on my path...
I'm just like you not afraid on my walks. They give me rest and energie..
Wishing you a very happy new year and wishing you all the best 🌲🧡
Great video ❤. Thanks. Please show us a shot of your new boots! Would love to see them. Peace girl.
Love your seed packet. You should make them and sell them empty. Then those of us who save seeds could buy your cool packets!💐
So glad you wnswered all of my questions Kate even though I only thought them. Glad you listen to your gut I wish more people did that ( how often does some poor girl get attacked walking in the dark at 2am!! And you ask yourself why the heck she was out there in the first place, sadly it happens too often, in Oz anyway, they might be walking on the beach or whatever...please be careful ladies..listen to Kates gut and at least carry a personal protection alarm you can buy them really cheaply online these days) . Cant buy bear spray in Oz and I believe pepper spray is illegal but those alarms at least make a lot of noise..or dont go out by yourself at night, nor as Kate also said "never get into a car even if driven by a women..yes it could be a setup". Thankyou Kate.🙏cheers from Western Australia 🦘🦘...that said, I am 70 years old and have never lived by myself only for a few weeks. I love my space during the day but could never live alone (have you noticed you never hear a house creak during the day..I dont like the dark).. I had to get a lock on my bedroom door and get back to base security in my house when I separated - then I was OK..all kudos to those like Kate who can do it.👍🙂
Kate, it's so interesting to hear you comment on the shapes of the trees. I always love to see their silhouettes in winter! Luckily for us where I am in Canada there is usually snow, which is also really beautiful, especially those days when a thick fluffy snow has fallen, and there is no wind, and the world turns into a soft and silent winter wonderland! This from somebody who grew up in Jamaica! But I think there is no more beautiful scene than one of those still, beautiful monochromatic winter days. Your painting of beans on your seed packet was so pretty! May winter be kind to you and Charlie down there in the Hudson Valley.
wow! that herbal mixture looks- just looks wow! I will definitely try that out! As always- love your videos, like a letter from a good friend.
Another great video Girl…I wait all week for each new one to upload! I am so glad that you have disconnected from your earbuds on your walks….made me a little nervous that you might not be able to hear everything going on around as well while wearing them. I find it so amazing that you have already had snow! It was so beautiful and peaceful. We, here in the Houston, Texas area, rarely get any snow or have really defined seasons, so seeing the gorgeous colors of fall and the all white of winter is such a treat to experience through your lens. Thank you so much and you and Charlie stay well and safe.
I love your channel! It’s among my favorites on UA-cam.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful videos! And little Charlie is so adorable 🤗 I so appreciate you sharing your recipes and tips for remedies on inflammation. I live with daily pain and desperately need to watch my diet. I was diagnosed with Lupus, after about 30 yrs ago being diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Watching your videos gives me comfort. Thank you!
I always trust my intuition!
In the comment section on your previous video, I encouraged you to buy the painting. I do love the painting, but I did not realize it was at that price. I 💯 agree that you need to put your necessities first! I am on a thrifting budget closer to $5 or less per item.
Yikes, I never through the painting was that much money! You did well by getting boots to keep your feet warm and dry.
Fear is a magnet. Being aware, confident and prepared is a protective shield in ways. That old saying, Be careful what you wish for " applies to folks who live in fear. The Law of Attraction.
Good on you Kate for your wisdom and awareness... a path to freedom.
Yeees! You're so right that fear is a magnet! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!❤❤❤
I love your videos....they simply make me happy! Thank you.....Sending blessings and light to you and Charlie.......
❤❤thanks for sharing I can see peace being in tge woods 😊I live in the suburbs and not peaceful you can't sit on your own porch without someone wanting something or have an issue you are blessed 😊
I love Fire Cider. This year since I am not working (my choice). I will be using it as my Christmas gifts. I also made blackberry jam. then some nectarine jam and also some peach jam. and some other things I think I will mix up some teas also. Also with my fire cider I use it for salad dressings. I also mix with ketchup and it makes a really nice spicy dip for shrimp. Also Rosemary Gladstar, has book of recipes that she has done with a lot of herbalists. It is called hmm Fire Cider it is the best book ever. 1 of the herbalists lives about 20 miles from me in the Applegate Valley and she has 3 recipes in it. I ran into her at the Medford CoOp and just happened to have it in my bike basket and she signed it for me. Yes one of those Oregon girls I bike it every where. Any way I got sidetracked I had to use powdered turmeric this year. Because at the CoOp they did not have any fresh. I found out we get ours from Hawaii and they cannot buy any for at least the month of November. Guess that is when they are resting the farms. Hmm oh and I dry out all of the ingredients and make salt out of it. That is great with grilling. Also do not be afraid to go anywhere by yourself. Just walk tall and most people will leave you be. Also you are correct use your gut instincts it's done well for you so far. Have a happy Thanksgiving weekend. We are still raking leaves out here.
Thank you for the tip on the book! And also for the idea of mixing fire cider with ketchup! What a fabulous dip that must make!!!! I'm definitely going to try that! It sounds like people will be receiving some amazing goodies from you!!!!! Enjoy : ) And I hope you have a wonderful weekend!❤❤❤
I am in the Hudson valley too I didn’t get any snow. I am one of the few people who loves snow ❄️
Recently I was listening to a guided meditation, and they said something like"imagine you are in a place you feel safe, like the woods." and I burst out laughing! When have I ever felt safe in the woods? I guess I'm more of a wild shoreline type of walker!😂❤
Goodness me there are some scaremongers who need to cut themselves off from the late night crime dramas! Enjoy your hikes sweet Kate and carry on trusting your intuition. I had not heard of fire cider but I will make one now I know. I feel like I need a wellness potion for sure. Enjoy your new boots etc.
Sound decision on your purchases. ❤
Oh my gosh! I love trees in winter too!!! They look like sculpture, or lace, or neurons!
yes! They do look like sculptures! And now I'm going to look for lace patterns next time I'm out walking! Have a wonderful weekend!❤❤❤
Oh my gosh your first snowfall...I love that first snow of the season, even if it doesn't stick around. Charlie your sweater is adorable. PS Love your merch...soon as I can I will get something.
Aw, thank you!!!! And yes ... the first snow is special every year! I feel like a kid when I spot it!!!! Have a lovely weekend!❤❤❤
Merchandise?
Where is your shop…Etsy?
It looked like such a beautiful day for a walk in the woods.
Priorities are necessary in life. If the painting is meant to be you will have it. I hope it's meant to be! 🤗
Oh, it was!!!! Sunshine is such a glorious treat around here in the winter months. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!!❤❤❤
A wonderful painting will pop up at goodwill or salvation army, sending food vibes❤
I look forward to each of your videos
That makes me so happy : ) Thank you for watching!!!!❤❤❤
Great visit. Bravo for practicality🎉That price seems a bit steep for the painting. I agree you could make one even better. And bravo for your bravery🎉It will soon be December.....hard to believe. Where did 2023 go? Have a wonderful week, xx
Hello there friend. Glad you are enjoying nature. life and nature are beautiful.....you take care.....MINDY
You’re a brave young lady! Please be safe… I’m one of those people that would walk with friends….. I’ve never heard of Fire Cider… going to make some.. Enjoy your videos!!
I’m in the same position have to get what I need first, hey that’s ok at least we are able to do that!! If you are to have the painting it will happen. I love watching you soo much you are so beautiful and kind . You really make me want to connect with nature more and that a beautiful thing ❤️🥰😊
I'm so glad you didn't allow the negative trail experience to make you give up your nature walks. I hope this SEASON OF GRATITUDE has nourished your heart, and that you're feeling well enough to continue with your daily practice. BTW-a couple tablespoons of Fire Cider in a bowl of split pea soup is delish.
Maybe your painting will be a Black Friday special, or maybe it could be a Christmas present to you from Charlie. Also, maybe you could negotiate with the shop owners for the painting. If it’s meant to be it will. Many blessings.
Katie Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃 hope you & Charlie enjoyed the day safe at home. I have great news about Goodwill. I just recently found a new Goodwill donation center. Would you believe when you drop off your donation you fill out all your info name, address & what type of items you donated. It’s so quick & easy. It then prints out a receipt & on the receipt it states that if you go online on their website I then put in the receipt number & answer 4-5 simple questions like did someone offer to help carry your donation etc. Then within 1-2 weeks they actually mail you a 20% off your next Goodwill purchase coupon. How wonderful! That’s how it should be. So many times I would drop off really nice items & then go in the store to shop. I always felt they should offer a coupon. An incentive to donate & percentage off for making a purchase. How great is that! Check out your donation center maybe yours also has this practice. Happy Thrifting! Mariaknits27 💃🏻💕
Sweet vlog! Glad you addressed the concern that many of us have had regarding your walks. Even though it is too early for snow, even up here, it was still beautiful! I just dug out some carrots that I had forgotten out in the garden! They are so good! Btw, does your rosemary survive the winter outdoors? We take ours in for the winter….its huge! Hubby keeps it in our garage (his man cave!) i made my fire cider last month….it came in handy when hubby started feeling a cold coming on!worked well! Take care! Hugs from Canada!
i have seen how creative you are and think you could make a picture a lot like that one in the antique store and it would be more special as you created it yourself , as that is a lot of money and you will probably want a frame to , so yes i think you could do one similar ,using the same colours ,❤
Hi Kate,

I can't wait to make that healthy concoction you made & add it to salad dressing. I also walk in a nature park & love it. No bears though, mainly snakes & possible alligators. Lots of beautiful birds. It is in South Florida.
Thank you for your home made, holistic approach to healthy living…yay…you got the picture 👏 I look forward to all your videos❤ take care and keep warm ☮️🐾see you next time.
Thank you for watching : ) And I hope you have a lovely and relaxing weekend!❤❤❤
