quiet days in my cottage garden ... bonfires and crafts (story 54)

- Опубликовано: 13 дек 2024
- Welcome to my channel where I share my simple and peaceful cottage lifestyle. Fall is very quickly disappearing here in the Hudson Valley ... the trees are bare and the forest behind the cottage is now carpeted with orange leaves.
In this video, I do some crafting with nature, share how evening fires in my garden have become a new favorite, and take my Chihuahua Charlie on a trip down to Delaware.
The air has a chill and I feel like snow will soon be here! But for now, I'm soaking in every last bit of the end of the fall season.
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

When I feel lonely which is often, I build a fire in the fireplace and it’s like having someone else in the room. I look forward to your videos each week…. thank you for making them.
Fires really are so special : ) They warm the soul. I hope you have a wonderful week!❤❤❤❤
A long time ago my father taught us the word 'atavistic'. He had a nightly ritual for years of having a fire in the fireplace, turning down the lights and no TV/music. His five kids, my mom and dad would all just sit and watch the fire for awhile. I think having a fire in the fall and winter takes us back to the not so long ago when fires were lit for comfort, warmth, light, protection. I feel comforted by firelight. Glad you are enjoying this time - thank you for sharing!
I definitely think you should sit in front of the fire at 4 o'clock a ritual, at least 3 days a week. ❤😊
You are a light in the darkness. Your honesty, simplicity and courage are inspirational. In a climate where so much discourse is characterized by fear, anxiety, and vitriol, I find I can breathe when I view your videos. I love that you take the time to create such sensitive and beautiful videos. I also love your gratitude. As someone who has lived with anxiety for most of my life, I can understand the struggle to live with and through it. You are so brave not to give up and hide. You are absolutely unpretentious, radiant, and beautiful. Thank you for sharing a bit of your life with Charlie and for creating these videos.
I look forward to your videos...... I like your voice, I like your music, I like u, Katie,, I like Charlie. I like your life..... I like the scenery...... This is alllll true...... Keep putting out videos.... Ty, in advance...... It's getting close to christ- mas & , I don't want your anxiety to kick- in..... But, I am soooo excited to send u this package. I hope we can become friends.... Blessings, always....❤❤❤
No snow here in Northern California but lots of pretty redwoods.
Your soooo down to earth ,, in this crazy world.... U, Katie & charlie replace the crazyness. I enjoy my life mostly...... !?. I just,, keep on keeping on...... ❤❤❤
Hello friend! Wonderful visit!
You are so right about Goodwill. Their prices have skyrocketed. There are very few "deals" anymore.
Kate ❤ I just love your videos. You are so authentic, lovely, creative and amazing. I love your black dress with the feathers on it. Also. Thanks for sharing your stories. Much Aloha, Caroline
Good morning, dear Kate and Charlie. Always so nice to spend a little grounding time with you! Be well. Be joyful. Be magical. Be safe. We enjoy you so much! Thanks! 💕
Good morning!! Thank you for watching!!!! And I hope you have a lovely week ❤❤❤❤
Yes! I knew you were one of us! 🤭😉😇. ” Du är alltid välkommen hit!”. Sending you lots of love from Sweden!🇸🇪❤️
I look forward to your videos every week. It is as if you are living the life I had once dreamed of as a young woman. And how I wish I could simplify things now as well. And I have to include how in awe I am of your photographic ability and admire your continued effort and focus on what adds to the experience of what you are conveying. What your eye sees, we can see...what you envision as you mix the images is deepening and growing. So, thank you.
It's so nice how much you enjoy nature, God's beautiful creation!
Hello Kate! You look Refreshed!! I too absolutely LOVE walking on Crunchy Leaves!! 🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁. It's SO THERAPEUTIC!! 🤗. Charlie looked so adorable in his little Sweater!! I LOVE sitting by the Fire too! I have a little Electric Fireplace in my Livingroom! I absolutely LOVE it!!! I can even use it without heat and just use it for the Ambiance. It's SO Cozy! We have been getting some Rain ☔, which I love! My Hubby just informed me that next week, we may get some Snow! ❄️☃️❄️. I hope you have a beautiful week my friend 💖💖💖💖!! Enjoy your Oasis by the Fire!! 🔥
Hi Kate! I had good luck thrifting this past weekend. I got a really great pot to melt and render my bees wax in to make some candles in. It’s good and solid, has two pouring spouts and was only five dollars. 🎉 hooray for thrifting ❤ I actually don’t mind when it gets darker and colder when the winter first arrives. We are getting snow all day today 🇨🇦 and it just feels so darn cozy. A pot of potato soup is in my near future.
This was a beautiful video. Your doggy is so sweet and so are you. Have a fantastic week❤❤
Those round things in the woods that stick to us....we always called them burrs.
Good Sunday morning to you and Charlie…❤🐾I love your DIY…and your “footage” is awesome 👏 your always a joy to watch, take care my friend, you are beautiful 🍁🍂☮️🎶
Ahhh.....my favorite lil lady!! Thanks for another sweet video!!
It was great to see your video. I was wondering how your doing. I am enjoying yhe fall colored leaves here in northern california and the cooler temperatures. It is so hot here in the summer. Always 100+ days! It's alot for an old lady. I too enjoy the cooler temps. I like snow only if it melts as soon as it hits. I love the quiet when it is snowing. I live off grid, so snow covers the solar panels and I have to get a push broom and do what I call"solar panel hockey".😂😂 it's hard sometimes getting the snow off them. I am starting to cozy up my house for winter too. I am going to thin out my irises and spread them around for more flowers.have a blessed day and I am going to start to take walks too. I am in desperate need 😊
I too am preparing my mind for these days of early darkness. Instead of complaining, thanking God God for giving us a rest period from our planting and harvesting. Whatever those things are in your life.
I love the quiet snowfall at dusk and the smell of the air on those nights. I am in Indiana, so we can see 70 degrees one day and possible snow and definitely frost at this time of year. We will prepare for the steady chances of snow in late December. I love all of the things you are doing for your mental and physical health in this season. We try to do the same. Winters are hard but necessary for a beautiful spring in our lives😊
Hi. Love your videos. ❣️ I live in NZ 🇳🇿and we are going into summer. Suppose to be a long hot dry one. I prefer the autumn and really enjoyed watching your walks among the leaves🍂🍁 Stay well.
Hi Kate & Charlie. I literally drank your video in this week. I have been in bed sick with Covid. Such a welcome site. I have been very sick and anxious. Living a lone and being sick is the worse. My heart hurts for anyone who gets Covid. I enjoyed the beautiful fall scenery and especially the cozy fire you made. Charlie looks so cute in his sweater. I hope you guys stay healthy and well. Vivian & Monet from Texas.🐶🐾
I live in Myrtle Beach, S.C. sometimes not often we may get a few flakes, ..glad to see you seem to be happier..love little Charlie, ive got a little man just like him, a male longhair chihuahua tricolor..hes got little chi attitude.lol....gwen
I am a 72 year old grandma, and live for my trips to see my son and grandkids , since they have a gorgeous firepit . I do find it mesmerizing, hypnotic , and therapeutic. WIne in the summer or a hot toddy in the winter. Its my happy place! It truly is transformative. A form of meditation. So keep doing it as long as you can. Do you have friends nearby? Being older I am use to being alone, but you seem so young. Are your family close by? I do wish I had nature trails close like you. A walk in nature verses a walk in the city , are two different animals! And unfortunately I am in the city. And being in the California bay area , I never get that beautiful snow . It looked so quiet and tranquil.
No snow yet in Indy, but my Christmas cactus is blooming, and showing off it’s fuchsia self🩷
I love your new fire ritual. There is something special about just sitting and watching a fire. Charlie and Felix are the best ❤. We all need a good buddy
We sure do : ) ❤❤❤❤
Walking is so therapeutic, it's great for you. The Japanese call it Forest Bathing. I used to love walking everyday. I challenged myself to find a new bird each time I walked and photograph something in nature. Then last year I became disabled unexpectedly. Now I just dream of walking and it breaks my heart every day. I miss it so much, it makes me cry. Thanks for sharing your beautiful walks! It makes me happy 😊
I'm sorry you haven't been able to take your walks. Life can be so challenging at times : ( I'm sending you the biggest hugs and I hope that lots of beautiful birds come visit you at your window. ❤❤❤❤
So glad you feel Better🌷🌞💚🍂🍁
I love that you're keeping up the forest walks and noticing how much they're helping. You look and sound great. Still adoring your lovely videos. 🥰
Thank you!!!! They are helping SO much! I hope you have a wonderful week, friend! ❤❤❤❤
Like you I live in a cottage. Im on the Burnt River in Ontario. We have had a sprinkle of snow. Morning walks with sun rising and frost on nature is a beauty to behold.
Love the bonfires…left our fire pit out for now to perhaps have an early evening fire while the weather allows!!😁
Lovely video. You capture beautiful sunsets.
I'm originally from Phila., PA, now living in MN, so was happy to hear the name of my home State! Thanks you for sharing your lovely perspective on Nature, & especially the lovely crackling sound of the wood in the fire... one of the better aspects of being human. I, too, feel most alive in the crispy cold. ❤️ 😍 💖
I suffer from anxiety and seeing you walking by yourself in the forest makes me anxious and envious at the same time.
Hi Kate, I found a fellow tuber that lives in Hudson Valley...amazing house, gardens and calming!! Kevin Lee Jacobs is his name...he too has a cute pup and kitten
Good, Sunday, Morning, Kate...from Cornwall, Ontario.
I had such a busy morning and, my back was aching. All I could think was...go and sit, on my favourite thrift chair!
I picked up my cell, turned on the You Tube notification, excitedly as, I knew, it had to be You! 🎉
You have made me so relaxed, now, with my feet up, on the edge of my bed, following you along your daily adventures.
Gosh, you have no idea how much you have inspired me to try and put aside time to walk, outside. I don't have the luxury of going far because of my MS limitations but when I am out, I am taking in everything my eye captures. Sometimes, I will sit on a bench to breathe in the crisp air and, inhale the scents from the ground and trees. It is alone time for Rudy, and I. We are coming along like, a house on fire.
Speaking of fire, what a great idea to gather up some twigs and, pine cones for a firepit Respite. A hot drink, was a novel idea, too.
I wish I had not wasted so many valuable years on mindless living!
I find the prices, way up on thrift items, too. Like everything else, when something becomes popular or a necessity, the price goes up!
I must say, when your video started, I couldn't help noticing your hair. It was like silk.
I used to have a good head of hair till, health issues and, age happened so, now I crop it very short! I was on FB when an ad caught my attention...hats with hair stitched into the bottom inside of the hats. I broke down and bought a ball cap with a white bob, below the ears and, the other was a woolen hat with longer, white hair stitched in. What a novel idea if you are having a bad hair day. I can't wait for them to arrive. I hope they will look natural and, suit me😅
Our trees are completely bare and, it is 36 degrees Fahrenheit! We have had one small snowfall and, last week, one day of freezing rain.
Today, I bought a pack of boneless chicken breast a pack of stewing beef, fresh carrots, potatoes, celery and, onions. Guess what for...Chicken soup and, beef stew with dumplings. So nice to have a large pot, on the go, with something yummy, cooking!
I look forward to seeing your next video.
Lots of love and blessings to you and, your little boy, Charlie.
Be well.
Be happy.
Take care❤
Thank you for sharing this little update about your life!! And oh my word ... yes, that is a novel idea!!! I've never seen that before ... hat with a hair. I guess that means you'll be having a good hair day every day this winter : ) I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos ... and I'm so glad you're having some nice walks. I've learned that even the short ones -- if that's what our bodies allow for -- are still such a gift. Sending you the biggest hugs!!!!❤❤❤❤
Hello, another Pennsylvanian in the Poconos. Love my vintage cottage and the beautiful woodsy setting. Never lose the excitement of seeing deer, foxes and bears in the wild. Enjoy your videos and how you enjoy a simple life like me. Love your partner. He is so cute.
Once again coming in late to the comments because I waited to watch your video until I could be alone and quiet -- then I really relax into it.
Love your plan to have a fire ritual and add lights. There's nothing like sitting by a fire. I think as humans we evolved to really value sitting near a fire -- warmth, light, cooking, and safety.
Gorgeous video, as always! Your dress with the feathers is just lovely!
Hello Sweet Kate! It is so good to hear better spirits in your voice. I live in North Florida where it is mostly green but there is significant leaf loss and I have some wild cherry trees that are mostly bare but the leaves remaining are orange and just beautiful. My favorite sound in the world is the wind in the trees or the wind blowing leaves across the ground. I'm loving it right now. The weather is cold at night and cooler during the day. I love your fire pit area. I agree that lights out there would be stunning. Glad you are doing better. Take care and God Bless!
Thank you : ) I'm glad you're having a cooler season and enjoying the sound of the wind in your trees! I hope you have a wonderful week!❤❤❤❤
Gosh! I sure do love your videos and the calm beauty they impart. I LOVE your dress!!!! So good!!! And of course, Charlie's sweater! As to those "weeds"...we have them here too. I don't know their actually botanical name, but we call them "hitchhikers".. because as you say, you walk by and they grab stick to you. Thank you for the new post!
Haha .. yes, they are definitely hitchhikers!!!!!❤❤❤❤
I love your videos they just bring back so many beautiful memories of fall in the east coast. The weather is finally out of the triple digits, it’s crisp in the mornings and evenings hopefully soon it get cold all day that’s living in the desert for ya. Enjoy your week dear one. Silvesta
Love the cozy fire also I thought Charlie looked very handsome in his sweater!!!🥰
Oh how I look forward to your videos. I hope life is treating you more kindly lately and you’re feeling peace. You have an amazing and peaceful authenticity. ❤️
I agree Goodwill prices have gotten ridicules for used stuff…..I don’t even go much anymore as I too end up being disappointed
I just love you ❤
I know it's autumn but you have spring in your step ! ❤
I'm the same way with the weather. L•O•V•E the colder temps & hate being hot. Charlie is Mr. Adorable ♡
Hi Lovely Kate and Sweet Charlie,
I love the way you are able to find beaty wherever you find yourself.
Creating your special times and simple rituals are proving to be so benificial.
You are looking fantastic and content,
thank you so much for your posts, l do look forward to them.
Please keep up your beautiful work.
I also love thrifting, it is the ultimate way to recycle.
All my furniture is pre owned, l often wonder what life it had before l came to own it.
Love and Hugs to you and Charlie,
Lizzie,
from Melbourne,
Australia.❤
Thank you for a lovely video,i love cozy season with candles, blankets, string lights, comforting recipes, the smell of newly baked goods... You always lift my spirits!!!
Cozy season is a good season, for sure : ) Enjoy!!!!!❤❤❤❤
💖🙏@@littlebohocottage
Ahhhhh...my Sunday night post-bath -cozy-in-bed ritual....watching your latest post! Another lovely video Kate..the scenery, your voice over, the background music...so soothing to my soul. So happy you are continuing your daily walks and enjoying them! Thank you for sharing darlin, and as always...safe and happy adventures for you and wee Charlie! Until next week...cheers from Vancouver Island, BC 💜
Hi, sending you fall greetings. This Jersey girl, now living in FL really misses the change of seasons so much! We were up in central NJ last weekend, for a family wedding and we enjoyed the fall colors that were still showing off! We hit 2 thrift shops and I could have spent all day in. My husband reminded me that whatever I bought would have to fit in my carry on, so that limited me. I love when there are still places that mark things for .25 cents and $1….ahh the good ‘ol days. Take care ❤❤
We are hanging on to Fall here in Michigan also. We have had a dusting of snow but it is gone now. We are in the 40 degree range most days but looked ahead at next week and we will have 50's! I am so ok with that because 6 months of Michigan winter is way too long lol.
Thank you Kate
May you and Charlie be safe.
It's been pure Autumn splendor in my neck of the woods in rural eastern Washington state USA. Our 1st measurable snowfall was October 25th! Plenty of gorgeous golden foliage still. Today I burned slash for 4 hours. Good medicine for my spirit. My Thanksgiving Cactus' lipstick pink blossoms have just started opening. Autumn is my favorite season 😊.
Ooooh ... snow on autumn trees is just the most incredible thing to behold! So glad you got to enjoy that!!!!❤❤❤❤
I'm so glad you are getting in your walks every day! The fresh air and beautiful surroundings make such a big difference in your mood. I'm normally out for several hours at least 5 days out of the week. I really love looking for new trails and parks to discover as well. Yes; we still have some leaves hanging around here in Pennsylvania! I'm always looking for the beauty in my surroundings. Your little Charlie really cracks me up. He is quite the powerhouse, isn't he? Yes, the early darkness is difficult for all of us. We lose hours of playtime! The groundhogs have the right idea. Just got to bed and wake up when it's all over! Thank you, Kate, for another charming video and for sharing both your darling home and lovely Hudson Valley with all of us. 😊
Haha ... you're right ... the groundhogs and bears know what they're doing!!!!! and yes ... Charlie is the real boss around here : ) I hope you have a wonderful rest of the fall season and a restful and beautiful winter! ❤❤❤❤
We've already had snow already here in the highlands of Eastern Ontario, Canada. It was a bit of a shock because I think freezing rain had been forecast, but I woke to two inches of snow! This week the temperatures will get a bit warmer again, which is great because I still have a lot of outdoor chores to do. So nice to watch you getting in your walks in all kinds of beautiful places. I used to live in Arlington - a lifetime ago when I worked for The World Bank in D.C. It's great that you get to travel around with your work. I hear you about the thrift stores getting expensive. Isn't it ridiculous? I'm so glad that I have two Reuse Centres in my area where everything is free. So I take all my giveaways there, and this week I scored the most beautiful curtains which I hung in my wee cabin/house and they look fabulous! I just love the entire concept of a "free store." Have a great week, Kate and Charlie! See you next week.
Oh wow! You have centers where things are free! That's such an amazing thing ... and it makes good sense! It's like sharing things amongst the community. Love that! I hope you get in a bit more time before the next snow comes : ) ❤❤❤❤
@littlebohocottage Well, we had more snow to wake up to yesterday again! Yes, the Reuse Centers are amazing, and are located at two municipal dumps in my area. I have to take my garbage and recycling to a dump, so I usually choose one of them. I was just reading in an amazing magazine called FolkLife, out of Salt Spring Island off the coast of Vancouver, that they have "Free Stores" there too. The first place I ever found one was at the Findhorn (Intentional) Community east of Inverness, Scotland. That was back in 1991, and I think it was mostly clothes, and it was called "The Boutique." I also have a friend who regularly organizes clothing swaps in her home. Whatever is left over gets donated to a thrift store. You must have dumps in your rural communities - maybe you and your friends can lobby for Reuse Centres. Ours are all volunteer run, and in one there are a few shipping containers where items are sorted and displayed on shelves. At the other, there is one building (closed on 3 sides) with clothes, books and furniture and items like dishes that aren't damaged by snow or rain are set up on tables outdoors. It's always a fun time when, sometimes with my neighbour, we do a dump run and go treasure hunting at the Reuse. I'm on a very small pension and the vast majority of my clothing, household items and some of my furniture comes from the Reuse. Even art supplies, and beautiful frames for my art. Some things are brand new in their boxes, some clothes still have tags. And oten I can find hardware bits and pieces that I need. On Saturday I got the most beautiful curtains - like new - and put them together with a pair of sheers for my sitting room. It looks gorgeous. I have even found beautiful pueces of wood from furniture thatbwas falling apart that I've reused as shelves. And one day my neighbour and I scored some beautiful plant starts that a man had potted to give away! Anything I no longer need gets donated there. I absolutely love this concept. It is a wonderful way to build community too.
We still have a lot of colorful leaves on the trees, reds, golds and orange! But less and less every day! No snow as of yet… Many thanks for your lovely video! Much affection from the city of Detroit!
Sipping my coffee and watching this video was the most relaxing thing to do on this Sunday morning. Even my dog joined me on the couch to watch for a bit before curling up. I'm in southern Calif so rarely get to enjoy autumn colors. It's going to be 80 today so after we go to the dog park, we'll join a few other pooches and go to a local swimming hole that is still being fed by mountain streams. No swimming for us humans, but the doggies really love it.
I'm so glad you and your pooch enjoyed it!!!!! And 80 at a swimming hole sounds pretty great! Hope you had a great time!!!❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤
We've had snow a couple of times so far... Ontario, Canada. i actually love it- if you don't have to go anywhere in the car. You look so cozy by the fire in your beautiful sweater and hat🥰❄⛄
Yees ... I'm with you! I love snow when I can stay home : ) Enjoy the winter season!!!❤❤❤❤
Love your dress. Perfect for your craft project time. 44 degrees😮🥶I am a Florida girl. Charlie and Felix💕They are so cute together. Thanks for sharing.
We are so much alike. I can’t tolerate the heat either, love colder days and rarely take a jacket. Naive me, I just cut some of those weeds too for a grapevine wreath, same ones only stupid me had a wool sweater on, forgot that they stick to EVERYTHING and spent hours trying to pluck them from my sweater last night. Fall is my favorite, love cozy candles, thrifting and reading and my two little dogs are the love of my life like Charlie is for you❤. Love your channel!
Debby, upstate New York
It's wonderful to get out in the bush. Here in Australia, I'm in a walking group. Today, we did 8 ks to see a gorgeous little spot called Merrica River in New South Wales where the river it meets the sea. So stunning. And so special to walk with friends. Best wishes to you and Charlie.
me too, I love cool and colder weather. I thrive in it.
Love it Kate! Good on ya for being faithful with your walks! You inspire me to do the same!
And I agree about Goodwill!! Good GRIEF! Their prices are ridiculous!
LOVED your peacock feather dress!!
Our Fall here in Central Oregon is still hanging on too, it's beautiful and kind of warm-chilly, and I'm loving it! We have quite a bit of snow on our Cascade mountains, but none so far here in town (I'm on the east side of the mountains in the high desert)
I need to get out for a walk today too!
Thank you for your lovely video! 🥰🥰🥰
Ooh ... that's so. nice that you have snow off in the distance! That must be beautiful to behold! But no doubt, you'll have your own snow soon : ) ❤❤❤❤
As a Tidewater VA resident I confess winter is my least favorite season! Hearing the weather folks talk about El Niño and a snowy Mid Atlantic makes me shiver. I just hope fall lingers and winter is short!
Well, they are so often wrong ... so we'll have to wait and see!!!!!!! Stay warm!!❤❤❤❤
Thank you Kate! Being able to have a fire pit is wonderful! The aromatherapy of pine and the sound of that crackling fire is so delicious! In a related topic, I’m a tiny house junkie and since you indicated that a smaller place in the woods would be ideal, like that spot you showed us, don’t give up on that idea -tiny house living is becoming more and more a very popular and practical beautiful lifestyle across the country. Tiny house living is so enchanting and doable. I watch the “Living Big in a Tiny House” You Tube channel weekly. We we always say from our 58O square foot coop here in Brooklyn, that the best is yet to come. Dream big fir tiny house living and your dream will manifest just as your exquisite cottage living did for you. And Dwell in possibility ( Poet Emily Dickensian wrote this) . In the meantime your cottage is gorgeous and your creation of such a beautiful life has manifested in your audience sharing its riches with you. Thank you Kate! 👏🙏👏🙏👏
I love those tiny house channels!!!! It blows my mind some of the amazing tiny houses that people are creating!!!!!!!!!!! It's definitely fun to dream about ... and maybe even make happen one day! Hope you have a wonderful week!❤❤❤❤
Beautiful photography again! Beautiful hair! Beautiful woods.
Aw ... thanks!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
I love your channel. I live in Helena Montana. Last week we had a few days of snow totaling a little more than 2 feet. All melted now. Today sunshine and about 45. I get seasonal depression so love the sun in winter
Blessings from Ireland to you both. Really enjoyed joining you on your autumnal walk. I, too, have a love/hate relationship with the cold, dark, damp winter's. I joined a book club and plan on spending cosy winter days wrapped up reading, being transported to places of history and beauty. ❤
Hello! Oooh, a book club! That sounds like a really nice thing to do! Thank you for sharing that idea : )❤❤❤❤
You are looking great! Very healthy. Your walk every day is paying off. Feels sooo good to walk in the woods. Nice that you got to visit family and make it a working holiday. Loved your wreath...we call those things 'hitch hikers' in Canada. Not the official botonist name of couse 😄I read they were the inspiration for velcro. Your fire pit is beautiful - fire is purifying, cleansing, warming, healing..toss all of your cares into the fire and feel them being consumed and turned to ashes. Charlie looks darling in his sweater. Yes, the nights are growing longer, the days closing earlier which brings us indoors addressing organization projects we have been postponing and a time to be creative and productive indoors. 💛🔥💛🔥
Are they called thistles..😮get the exercise in.Jump!Fires are so memorizing. 😊
ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS AND THE SCENERY IS STUNNINGWITH ALLTHE AUTUMN COLOUR
I really enjoy your company! I am in the midwest at the Wisconsin-Illinois border and we have been warm. Today, the high is 58 degrees then next week in the mid to upper 60's! Normal temps are low 40's then the end of the month 32*.
Hello! I love the fall and you have captured it so well....the walks, bonfire, the trees, decorations......I love your videos....always look forward to seeing them . Peace and love....Z
Thank you : )I'm so glad you enjoy the videos!!!!!! Big hugs!❤❤❤❤
Sitting in front of a fire pit on a cool evening with a warm drink for a wee bit everyday...👍👍👍. You're SO inspiring me to get in some much needed daily walking. Having walking shoes with me when out/in my car & checking Google Maps...great idea!
We've all gotta keep on walking!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hello kate great to see you in happy spirits sitting out there near that beautiful 🔥 fire pit you look amazing and those walks around your beautiful area they helping you get that wonderful glow an cutie pie Charlie so happy to see him on this video always love watching you 2 my favourite on utube, Enjoy your week kate an Charlie big hugs 🫂 😊❤❤❤❤
I agree with you on winter the ‘ not ready for it’, I like the longer sunny days and spring and summer, when life starts coming back to ‘life’. But, this is the first fall that I told my sis that I’m learning to embrace it, ( now I’m f she can try to learn to embrace the summer) instead of seeing things dying, which is what fall does, I now see it as , everything is just taking a sabbatical Perse’ or hibernation, until spring wakes it all back up!
Your dress in the first part of video was really pretty. I miss the fall colors here. But we have finally cooled down and a couple nights were in the high 40's to high 50's I'm loving it.
I enjoy your walks through the woods so much.
I'm so so so glad things are cooling down for you now : ) ❤❤❤❤
I love Fall, it is and always has been my favorite time of year. As I have gotten older I really love November…as you mentioned in this video, the light and skies are the most beautiful colors. I’m enjoying them here in New England too. Happy and warm thoughts to you and sweet Charlie🔥🔥
Love to see all the places you visited. Charlie was having fun too. 🎉 I think it’s great you were having an evening fire. I live in Missouri and we still have leaves on the trees. No snow yet. 🍁🍂☕️❄️ stay safe and well
Enjoy those last leaves!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
beautiful vid, I agree about the importance of creating rituals for ourselves, I'm so glad to see you are doing so well! Tis The Season Of Gratitude.
What a beautiful film Kate. I also try to walk every day like you. It definitely fills up my happiness tanks.
I’m hoping for snow this winter - it’s very rare these days in England down my way in Suffolk. I miss the silence and the beauty of snow. It tends to just rain and everything is muddy and grey. Here’s hoping!
I'm not ready either, though I look forward to seeing my view with snow. It's my last new season in my house. Good job getting your walks in. I really need to do that too! Love your bangs!
It’s hot here in Australia. Our summer officially begins December 1st, so we will be melting before long. I love seeing your winters, as we don’t get snow where I am. Thank you for sharing your part of the world with us 😘.
I hope you have a wonderful summer!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
We do.get snow on occasions here in Wales. The mountain tops have already had a light dusting.
As a rather recent resident of Florida from NE Ohio, I have to say how I miss Autumn and those crispy cold winter evenings when you step outside and snow is falling silently onto your upturned face. It's magical for sure. Enjoy!
I can relate to what you are feeling…after growing up in NJ and living here most of my adult life, I moved to Florida….every year I was there I missed the four Seasons more….I gave it five years and moved back…for me not having the drastic changes in Seasons…Autumn and Winter most of all, became debilitating….I’ve now been back 6 and a half years and never looked back….I’ll take the ice and snow over the heat/humidity and hurricanes any day…..I hope it works out for you 😊
Ditto but I used to live in Maine. Yes, magical for sure and I miss it.
Aw, it's true ... that's a great feeling!!! But hopefully you enjoy the extra sunshine this winter : ) That's definitely a Florida perk!!! ❤❤❤❤
What a great video. All the beautiful surroundings. I love the dress you were wearing. It looked really nice.
Enjoy the season❤
Good to see you looking well.....keep up the walking as it's clearly benefitting you. Sending love from Suffolk, England X
I look forward to every video you post. I flew up to Pennsylvania from Jalisco, Mexcio this past week to celebrate my birthday and my sister's birthday. I can't believe we were actually in the same state for a few minutes! I wish I could share some of the photos I took because we had some really beautiful walks in nature together. Lots of good family time and celebrating my 70th. It is in the 70's here during the day, a bit cooler at night, lots of sunshine, and my tomatoes that I planted in October are ripening. I'm still not used to being able to grow food all year. I will enjoy watching your snowy videos from my warm climate. Freezing weather is not my friend!!🍁🍂
LOL, my dog Henry also loves beans and ate most of my harvest!
I love autumn but I’m a summer person at heart! I love the heat.
Such beautiful film....your stories cheer and uplift me! I live by myself in a tiny house on the edge of the woods. It has been a very hot and dry year in southeastern Alabama but now we are receiving some much needed rain. And we're starting to see some beautiful reds and golds in the woods. I too go for lots of walks as I find it to be so therapeutic! I loved the fire you made and think I'll make a habit of doing the same...thanks for so many beautiful posts...
Hi Kate! I just finished watching your new video…thank you for sharing your life with us. I also just re-watched your very first video as well as your new house Cottage tour. I hope you rewatch your first video again, you’ve come so far on your journey. I cried when I saw it again, I could feel your joy!! Always take care of that girl. 💕💐💕
Aw, thank you!!! I appreciate that!!! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your walks with us. I do love where you live, it is beautiful there. Well here in Texas it will be in the 60's and 70's this week. I also don't like the heat, wish we could have a colder winter yhis year, maybe it will happen. Have a wonderful rest of your week/weekend.
I love your channel. It’s very calming and so beautiful. I get a kick out of little Charlie and his attitude 😂!
Thank you for sharing sometime with us!
This was beautiful do you ever get afraid of walking by yourself?
