That is a fabulous idea!! I would not have thought of that, as I use a hutch with drawers for additional cutlery & cooking tools. It must give your home a very warm country feel!!

Whew 😅 long comment. Sorry for any grammar errors!

We both are seeing the same where we live. I did end up going to Aldi''s this morning and found some cranberries on sale for 99c (purchased 4 and will go back next week), and picked up the avocado's for 69c each, far better than the grocery store that sells them for around $1.50. It saddens me that our small towns are turning into little cities losing the country charm. I used to shop at Shaw's that had points as well, or one could only get the sale price if one had the card. If I see items on sale, b/c I know I will be going into town (which is quite rare, maybe 2x a year) I will check the app. Yes, points do tend to expire. 😔 I do hope to soon have the ability to grow all our fruits and veggies at another property one day in the near future, but I will be thankful for the farmers that are working hard to keep us fed for things we do not grow. I have such a hard time purchasing produce at the grocery store, as I have obtained some really yucky stuff.

@@NatureOfShy LOL...no problem... I love reading msg from. you.

That sounds lovely!! Salmon is one of my favorite seafoods. Love it in salad, love it sautéed, and baked. Napa Cabbage is also delicious.

Thank you for subscribing John. 😊 I am happy to to know that the drawer idea will be a benefit for you as well!!

David was happy and full before leaving for work. It is so good to use up what we have and not waste. Thank you. It is a small piece of property, but it has many beautiful features.

Thank you 😂 Life is good when we can find the opportunities to laugh.

thank you 🥰 A pretty time of year

Good morning @NatureofShy You can certainly get them off Amazon amzn.to/3YvHbbo and in checking, this particular set is currently on sale for 40% off. I will put the link in the video description. Thank you for asking.

@@potpourrioflife thanks so much!

Thank you!! 😊 It is nice to use the flavors of fall.

Glad you enjoyed it!!

I can appreciate your response. What you might not understand is that I ran a sewing business for over 20 years, where much was added to accommodate the various things that I made and sold, where what was a common request (baby blankets), doll clothing, replica bridal gowns, and much more, along w/alterations. It is inefficient to run to the store every time one needs thread, fabric, etc. During 2020, lots were happening. Add in the inheritance from my MIL quilt items, etc. it built in addition to when I was sick for a time and no energy to create. After filling orders in 2020, I finally stopped creating custom orders based on the fabric requests of others. I made it a requirement that they provide the materials. I think sometimes we need to step outside our view of what is too much to understand why another has/uses what they have. In ref. to the brain chemistry, you are correct. We all experience varying things in life that might open our creative minds. Some of us become overzealous, while others can only handle one project at a time. Interesting though, I have had no desire to buy anything new in 4 years, and my health is doing better, so the creative energy will be utilized, allowing myself to use these items up. Will I use it all up in this lifetime? Who knows. I do know that I enjoyed the process of getting rid of all materials/items I know I will never use, tons of patterns, etc. I went through the process of asking myself, what my goals were, and what I find joy in working with. Over time, this room will get lighter and lighter, with less items (less overwhelming), while fortunately the only room that might overwhelm you. Thank you for taking the time to share your views. 😊

Oh I totally get it! I watch tons of creator YT vids. When I retired I wanted so badly to become a creative person. I started and couldn’t handle it. I kept a few things for “someday” but it’s stored neatly and I hate making a mess when I bring things out! All I can handle now is occasional mending. I envy you creative folks with dedicated spaces!

Good morning Shy!! It is so nice to see you here. ❤🤗

Thank you. It was hard at first, but once I made the decision to downsize, it got easier and I felt more free. I enjoy reading my books and magazines as well. It allows our imagination to explore new ideas, even if the ideas are from days gone by. Thank you for watching!!

Thank you for sharing. I am so happy you enjoyed it. I have to admit, there are some things I still kept, b/c of what I am inspired to make. 🥰

I hope you are pleased with the results.!! Enjoy the process.

@@potpourrioflife I will, gonna learn from it. Kinda swamped at the moment but gonna checkout your veggie broth video you mentioned here soon. Did some the other day and while it smelled and tasted good, it had a slight bitterness to it. Added a bit of sugar to help but ended up combining it with my chicken broth and the bitterness wasn't noticable and saved the day.

It is a tricky business. Real Estate Agents are not fond of them at all, more so b/c they know how manipulative them are. There are very few Real Estate lawyers who specialize in this field. Best wishes on your decision in moving forward with your choices. ❤

You are welcome. I'm so sorry the lilacs that blossom ended up pass their prime. Next spring will be here before you know it. Happy Gardening & preserving

What a great idea!!

I love making this, allowing one to be in control of the ingredients.

Thank you for watching.

Thank you for sharing!!

Thank you 😊

Thank you Debbie!! May His Light always be guiding you

Thank you so much for watching and your compliment!! Enjoy this beautiful season.

Thank you. Your comment warmed my heart (made me smile). I love the term "whimsy". 🥰

It is rather a lovely flowering tree. I believe we have 4-5 varieties but I found that there are around 200 cultivated varieties.

Thank you. Enjoy this beautiful day!! Blessings to you.

Awesome!!! Thank you for your help. As you saw, I kept checking. But now...I can do 4 min. once the light is on. David generally does pancakes, as I never liked cooking on the griddle. But this is small and fun.

@@potpourrioflife You're welcome! You will find the sweet spot (Temperature) that makes your chaffles a little doughy or nice and crisp!

Thank you Kat!! Yes, it is always a joy to reflect on where we have been.

Thank you!

@@davidfield7740 You’re welcome!

It truly is beautiful!!

Every time this happens, I am in awe. Thank you for watching!! 🥰

I got mine at Marston's Farm in Pittsfield, where I also get my raw milk. Sometimes I get bacon, beef cuts, etc. They carry eggs as well. There are other farms in Pittsfield and in the Concord area. Call ahead when you think you are visiting, to any of the farms, I'm sure they will hold for you, or possibly ship (yet that might be pricey).

Thank you!

Thank you!
