    Oh Isis, So wonderful to see that your mom has joined you! A multigenerational home has so much life experience to bring to the table. I'm 69 and a widow 15 years. This year my 43 year old son and I bought a new home together and are learning to live in harmony. Patience and acceptance are utmost important to navigate this shared life. Your mother is absolutely beautiful and will only enhance the quality of your and Bertus' life - kitties too. So happy for you!!!

    One of the things I like about your homestead is that it's the antidote to the tiny home craze. You have a home big enough that there are corners where you haven't yet discovered, even a few years in with all your energy. There is space for the cats to wander and for things to find their proper places.

Your voiceovers are also calming, and pairs so nicely with the video.

    It is early here...just after 6:00 a.m. that I am watching this weeks episode. We must share some old DNA because the "order" in which you keep the cascina and the land is familiar to my own sense of aesthetic. I particularly enjoyed the nighttime videography and (naturally) watching the young kittens grow and scamper about with the two of you. Community and family are most important in these days and with how large the main building is there is plenty of room to have a separate apartment for "Mom" in the future.

    @unternehme 4 дня назад

    To me, slate roofs have an unreplaceable beauty and represent an authentic vernacular architecture of those regions, based on local materials and ancient crafts, as opposed to the industrial tiles, which represent the coming of the industrial age, of imported materials, of standardisation and atrophy of building skills. Unfortunately, far too many of these roofs across the Italian Alps and Apennines have been replaced by more banal tiles, except where heritage preservation laws expressly forbade it. If it were up to me, I would have no doubt, I would keep them, no matter the cost, no matter the learning curve. Because they are precious for what they are and what they represent. I understand the constraints, but I had at least hoped you would have kept that edge that still remained, showing how the roof once was. Very, very sad that you will remove it :(

      a 3cm knob of ginger
      1 tbsp (whole) cumin seeds

      salt & pepper to taste

    • @BionicOffice
      @BionicOffice 4 дня назад +1

      One thing about roses is that some varieties have a lovely show but poor roots so they are grafted onto stronger, but nonshowy roots. If you want to propagate, you need to know if your roots are the same as the flower.

    • @storiesfromthecascina
      @storiesfromthecascina  4 дня назад +1

      From what I've read it usually works best with older rose varieties and especially with botanical roses. The ones I am propagating are older but not botanical ones. I've seen people have great succes propagating roses this way so curious to try and learn :-)
