That’s awesome with your Peony! I have a similar story. When we bought our house it had a beautiful rose bush. My father loved roses so we both waited year after year & no blooms. My Dad asked if I knew the color - there wasn’t even 1 bud. I didn’t know. For 11 years this rose bush never bloomed! It was hearty so I kept it. My father passed away in December. On June 9th the following year from one day to the next my rose bush exploded literally overnight with the most beautiful red blooms. This color red is not a common red. It was my Dad’s favorite color! 12 years later it finally bloomed. The date it opened was a hard day because that same day a year prior started the decline of my Dad’s health & hospitalization. It was a sweet embrace & filled my heart with peace & comfort. I enjoyed today’s video - thank you. 😊
One thing that brings me joy is being notified you have up a new video...but I do love going back for all.of your previous videos....THANK YOU for spreading JOY!!
Beautiful video, especially your peonies. I love that the small things bring you joy. I love watching waves on lake Erie while sitting on the ⛱ beach, my roses and staring at the stars. It is the small things that make life special. Your small things also bring me joy🥰
Yes! So thankful for this season in my life when I can enjoy details and “special cups” inside my home and nature outside even on days that include chores, errands, and not so fun projects. Retiring unexpectedly at 60 five years ago has been such a gift. Good to know I have kindred spirits who are also happy to enjoy home and creative homemaking without the demands and pressures of a full time job outside the home. BTW I never measure the lattice for pies. ☺️
Thanks for that--I never measure either. Actually, shamefaced to admit this, but I typically do not do the lattice part either. My bad, but it tastes the same....
Absolutely love your videos, Linda. And, you allow those of us who were immigrants at the start of our country to reconnect to New England, where we probably landed many years ago, gives us much joy. Thank you!!
Wow Linda what a fabulous video, loved the beautiful Peonies in your garden, the Hummingbird, Moth, Chipmunk, the peaceful cemetery & of course watching Willow enjoy her walk. I love the gorgeous evening lamps attached outside to your house. So relaxing to watch. One of my joys this week was to successfully crochet a pair of pink baby booties that I followed on YT. Thank you.😊
I’m sitting on my porch watching this video as a thunderstorm storm is coming in. Speaking of ADD, I paused the video to go cut flowers because you inspired me. Thank you for sharing this positive video.
Beautiful cup and saucer. Adorable chipmunk. Love visiting old cemeteries to do rubbings and read the inscriptions on the stones. This video was a lovely way to start my day.
You do inspire me. Thanks for the calm you bring. The white peony with the dash of pink inside of it could possible be Shirley Temple. Beautiful. Awesome video!
This video inspired me to take the time throughout the day to feel gratitude for all the small moments. I will jot, on a monogrammed note paper, my moment of joy, and collect them in a pretty box by my bedside. If I find myself having a challenging day, I can simply revisit those special seconds of time. Thanks for reminding us of the beauty and joy that surrounds us!
Your home and grounds are just beautiful. You remind us there is beauty and simple things all around us to enjoy no matter where we are. Thank you for a relaxing and tranquil vlog!
I look forward to you newest video each week. Thank you for taking the time to put these together. You bring me much joy and relaxation. This one was especially uplifting.
Lovely tour, Life's complexities , if we stop. , listen , watch , look , & breathe , nature will reveal its treasures. Simplicity in the treasures revealed are memories cherished.
This video was the best. I skipped over it several times and finally came back to watching it. So calming, relaxing, and peaceful. It made me realize how seldom we allow ourselves to enjoy the small things in life and reflect on them.
I just love the part of the country you live in. How you are surrounded by nature and your able to take walks…. I live in Texas, and have to constantly water everything so I can have something green…and you have to be careful with deadly snakes.. So you just have to be on the alert….thank you.
It seems we enjoy many of the same things. Just love the story about your wedding and the peony what a blessing. my daughter lives in New Hampshire Charlestown to be exact and we are midwesterners in Wisconsin. So I very much enjoy going to your area to visitor her, with history at every turn. We bought a house that was from the late 1800s and this was 30 years ago anyway it was about 100 years old when we bought it and our insurance lady had a fit about it being so old. So our history here is just not like yours. Thanks for sharing your lovely blessings
Love watching the weather roll in and the wind through the leaves! So meditative. I do miss that sudden change in weather patterns during the day, and the peonies, from living in a similar environment in Japan. It's quite different in Southern California although there are other things I love here as well. And, I was struck with a thought while watching you arrange your peonies: It's funny that we think something that looks so perfect is fake (your leaf in your flower arrangement) when it was inspired by what was in nature - perfect in the first place. 🙏💕
Good morning. I read some of the comments, what I wanted to say has already been said... so many beautiful subjects presented.. all of it. Willow is a lucky pup. THANK YOU
Ok Linda when you are finished with that darling summer dress, feel free to pass it along to me😃Look at the lovely peonies. Just darling. Beautiful video and message. This week a few things happened that bought me joy. For the 3rd day in a row, I've opened my door to a little chipmunk. I hadn't seen him before but there he is. I donated to Greenfield meeting house, wish I had more to give and my Sanseveria plant sprouted a brand new baby as did my pothos. I woke up everyday this week, so that pretty good☘🍀🌱🌺💕😊
Good morning Linda! I grew up with cows in the pasture right behind my house on my friend’s grandfather’s farm. Cows are interesting characters for sure! Right now, I have a Mama house finch nesting on a front porch pillar. Birds are interesting to watch, too! I see her waiting with patience and perseverance with the expectancy of her babies! It is the little things in life that are forgotten by so many anymore. Thank you for sharing the small moments to enjoy in life! 💕
I loved your and Willow’s visit with the cows. New Hampshire is such a beautiful state. I miss living there! I always look forward to seeing a new video from you. They are so professionally done and the music is spot on. By far my favorite on RUclips.
I have the same white peonies with the hint of pink. I got them from my mom's house years ago and when they flower I think of her. I wish I had your forsight to take them in when they were in full bloom. They've passed now😪. Your home is an absolute dream. I wish I had your ability to style my home like you do. Just beautiful.
Love the small joys! They are the important ones. We love old cemeteries too. Whatever state we are in we go walk around them we enjoy looking at the stones and the beautiful shrubbery. Thank you for bringing us along.
BEAUTIFUL PLACE....JUST SO CALMING....YOUR VIDEOS ARE ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL....HAVE A GREAT DAY AND WEEKEND....STAY SAFE AND AS ALWAYS STAY HAPPY...GOD BLESS...IMOGENE
Thank you for sharing the beautiful nature that surrounds your home. One would never know that this is your first Spring/Summer at Sugarwood. Your yard and house look absolutely beautiful and show the love you and Ben share for it.
What a wonderful idea to voice what simple pleasures we cherish. A new type of woodpecker is visiting our peanut feeder. In all his splendor he is not even aware of his beauty. Such is mother nature's awesome moments. Thank you Linda!!!
What a glorious home, I try and get my place to look that fancy and I found you don't even need a lot of money to do it. I'm also going to have to redecorate once I move, it's going to be an uphill battle figuring out where to put everything. Wish me luck!
Such a beautiful vlog Linda! It is good to pause and enjoy and be thankful for the little blessings in life. Thank you for the reminder! Have a lovely weekend! 🌸🌸🌸
Thank you for a lovely video. I enjoyed it very much. I love your forever home .Everythng it so beautiful. I too have my forever home that I enjoy very much. I just shared your video with my friends and family. You are a very kind and loving person . Wishing you all the best life has to offer.
It's the little things in life! I try to enjoy as many as I can. One of my favorites is hearing the rain fall on my roof. The other is sitting in the early morning with my cup of tea while it's still quiet. Thanks for sharing yours.
Greetings, Linda. We so enjoyed this video, so inspirational. Beauty surrounds us. Especially loved the "bovine" sisters, they too are beautiful. Going to check out the gorgeous french press. Such a lovely vessel.
Another lovely video ! I was hoping that there would be a huge thunderstorm when you were filming ( safely inside ). You have the most spectacular place to watch the storms . I went to camp in VT and we would love to watch them come across the lake and the cabins would shake when it thundered , it was so much fun. Now l spend my summers in FL where we have lots of storms . My husband will make us dark and stormys and we will sit on the porch and watch the lightning shows . I also was impressed that the names on the gravestones could still be read. We have a little cemetery in front of a local church where soldiers from the Revolutionary War are buried and the names have worn off 😢. Thank you for sharing, it is always enjoyable and educational 👏🏻
Your video was so relaxing and lovely to watch! I especially enjoyed hearing the rain since I live in the Arizona desert, and rarely see rain. When we do get some, it’s never that lovely, soft rainfall. I also loved seeing all your gorgeous peonies! That’s another thing I miss having in the garden. Purchasing them never feels the same as having cut your own. Thank you so much for sharing your individual small joys, and I hope you have a lovely weekend!

The contrast of the pink flowers in the green glass vase is stunning.
I know it sounds odd, but old cemeteries are so peaceful and beautiful.🤍
Thank you for that. We should all slow down and appreciate each days joyful moments.
Grateful for this lovely reminder of simply enjoying the blessings of life.
Just watching gave me joy! The pie!
Loved the cows ❤️
One thing that brings me joy is being notified you have up a new video...but I do love going back for all.of your previous videos....THANK YOU for spreading JOY!!
Love the way you think and your stories. 💕and your love of nature and animals. All around good person.🥰
You know how to live and to create your own happiness! Thanks for sharing
Oh no! That PIE! This whole video was lovely. Thank you.
Its the little things and the simple things we can't let pass us by in this busy crazy world.
Thank you Linda!!!💐
I love all you beautiful peony , thank you to sharing.🥰
Beautiful video, especially your peonies. I love that the small things bring you joy. I love watching waves on lake Erie while sitting on the ⛱ beach, my roses and staring at the stars. It is the small things that make life special. Your small things also bring me joy🥰
Thank you. I am so grateful I receive data and electricity from my husband in order to watch delightful posts like yours Linda.
Beautiful nature of New England. Reminds me of my 67 years in Connecticut!
Yes! So thankful for this season in my life when I can enjoy details and “special cups” inside my home and nature outside even on days that include chores, errands, and not so fun projects.

Lovely!! we need to take time and appreciate the small blessings.
Peonies are fragil and delicate but beautiful.
Thank you for this beautiful video Linda. I needed to remember to enjoy and remember its often the little joys of our day that bring me the most joy!
What a lovely time I had enjoying your simple pleasures!
Thank you for reminding us to celebrate all the beautiful things in our lives!
Yes, #47! You nailed it! Thanks for sharing!
That's fruit of the forest pie my favorite 😊💗💗
I just made your custard pie with blueberries it smells heavenly now I have to wait to let it cool 😋💗💗💗💗💗
Absolutely love your videos, Linda. And, you allow those of us who were immigrants at the start of our country to reconnect to New England, where we probably landed many years ago, gives us much joy. Thank you!!

Your place is magical; mother nature has put it together perfectly.
Wonderful video Linda. What a sweet story about the peony opening up ☺️. The flowers and pie looked beautiful 🌸🥧. Enjoy your evening. 💚
Thanks once again for a wonderful morning visit! You are such a great hostess!
Great video! I enjoyed it so much. Beautiful home and yard!

I love gathering Family History! I love your list
This is the kind of video I enjoy so much. Its as if we are walking beside you.
You do inspire me. Thanks for the calm you bring. The white peony with the dash of pink inside of it could possible be Shirley Temple. Beautiful. Awesome video!

Lovely tour,
Life's complexities , if we stop. , listen , watch , look , & breathe , nature will reveal its treasures.
Simplicity in the treasures revealed are memories cherished.
This video was the best. I skipped over it several times and finally came back to watching it. So calming, relaxing, and peaceful. It made me realize how seldom we allow ourselves to enjoy the small things in life and reflect on them.
I’ve loved today. The story about the peony was so dear. Then the sweet cows, the squirrel, butterflies. Just a sweet segment
I just love the part of the country you live in. How you are surrounded by nature and your able to take walks…. I live in Texas, and have to constantly water everything so I can have something green…and you have to be careful with deadly snakes.. So you just have to be on the alert….thank you.
Great food for thought. Thank you.
Love your post and beautiful home and garden, can't wait at 70 to have a home to make lovely like yours
Love this video, your French press coffee pots are beautiful and the moth was so colorful, beautiful ❤️

Pure joy and beauty!
We had Peonies at our home in Billerica when I was growing up. I drove by the house last month and sadly they are gone.
Love the small joys! They are the important ones. We love old cemeteries too. Whatever state we are in we go walk around them we enjoy looking at the stones and the beautiful shrubbery. Thank you for bringing us along.
So important to enjoy life's small joys! The pie looked delicious! My favorite was Willow and her boyfriend Baxter, adorable!
Did you move the last time I watched your video you were looking to move

As a child I remember my grandmother had a coffee pot.I couldn't understand the press until I was an adult.Today I use mine with thought of her.
U programme gives me inspiration to do things in my home. Refresh, refurbish.
