    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. 😊

    Great video Linda, my sister passed away in January, I go every day to help out. There are horse farms where she lives. I enjoy see all of the horses every day. I would stop talk and pet them, would not want to be arrested. I understand your simple pleasures completely. Thank you. Huge for Willow

    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. ☺️

    • @stephaniew.6676
      @stephaniew.6676 2 года назад +1

      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....

    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.

    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.😊

  • @emilyr4965
    @emilyr4965 2 года назад +5

    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. 🙏💕

  • @sandyhossman7771
    @sandyhossman7771 2 года назад +2

    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🥰

  • @jeaninewalsh5120
    @jeaninewalsh5120 2 года назад +6

  • @margaretcrofton2560
    @margaretcrofton2560 2 года назад +2

    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!

    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! 💕

    Thank you Linda for yet another lovely video. What a gentle reminder for me to count my simple joys, which are many. I teared up on how lovely your one peony opening in celebration of your anniversary. Peonies were my mom's fave, so it was so enjoyable seeing those. And a first for me seeing a pink and yellow moth?! Awesome.

    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

    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!

    Well, I learned about two new things watching your video today! One was your method of staking and stringing your peonies which I am definitely going to do next year! I used peony rings and even the 3-ring taller type are not tall enough to keep the flowers upright. The other is seeing the Hummingbird Moth! I've never seen one in my gardens before so I will definitely be keeping my eyes peeled for them this summer! Lovely tranquil video.....enjoyed it very much. ~~M~~

    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 👏🏻

The humming bird moth was magical one day I hope to see one in person. Never seen them here in Southern California. Oh and let's not forget that furry candy looking moth, so pretty.
    You are Blessed.
