My husband died from Covid in 2021 and I left my job of 30 years last August. Mary, there are days when your channel lifts me up and I have to frequently discipline myself with a limit of your videos per day!!! I’m from South Carolina and we will probably never meet in this lifetime but I wish you could know how you have helped me. Someday, I shall stop by the porch on your heavenly mansion and visit. On that day, you will know.
Mary I know it's not practical when you are working but do you ever where your hair down I would like to see how long it is
So very sorry, she does make everyone feel wonderful. Dorene Weiss
You made me tear up. I am so sorry with the loss of your love. I wish you many blessings that you can accept right now in this difficult time.
Susan ..so sorry for the passing of your husband. I'm glad you find your comfort and strength in the Lord, and His promises . People like Mary are refreshing, her channel inspires many
Big hugs to you❤❤
Susan your lovely words to Mary reflect my feelings also. We all need comfort of friends that share their time with us.
You have such a gentle way about you Mary , I’m in awe how you acknowledge viewers negative comments and respond in your positive independent manner! The world leaders could learn a lot about how you communicate. TFS 😃🥰
People amaze me by some of their comments. You add things to your house or take things away that you like or don't like. You have a memory of or don't have a memory of. Things that are nostalgia to you or not nostalgia. Why the comments do they think they're you're gonna say, "Oh, you're so right. It's not my style. Let me take it away." You do what you like to do, and that's it, just as everybody else. I love your channel. I love the things that you do. I may not love all of them, but that's my opinion. I'm not gonna comment and let you know that I like something or don't like something. Why would I that's just my personal opinion. I love your channel, and I watch every video. You inspire me to think outside the box, and I love that.❤❤
That is my thought also. Well said thank you. 🫂
Number 3 here.
Thank you, Mary! It always amazes me people’s comments about things they don’t like! Keep your gate and enjoy it!!
you are sooo right! me too
I agree. Also, wearing flip flops and no gloves is a personal decision.
I love the gate!! Congratulations on your hydrangeas blooming!!!
I was thinking the same thing! You enjoy your gate! (what odd personalities to be so rude about someone's home)
I planted Peony’s years ago and they never bloomed until this year. What a wonderful surprise! Perhaps God knew we needed a little more beauty in the world this year. And a reminder to us that He still has the world in His hands.
The hydrangeas are beautiful ! My advice is don't trim them any more! Your are probably the kind that bloom on old wood and when you cut them back you are shocking them and they take a few years to come back. Just trim off the old blooms when they get brown and dried up . If you need to cut them back then don't expect them to bloom for a year or two .
In new england the hydrangeas are outstanding. We had a wet summer in 2023 and a mild winter, and wet spring. The hydrangeas love this combination of weather.
Enjoy these q&a's. Your graciousness is an example to all.
I LOVE your idea about moving a derelict house to the orchard and restoring it! I would be all in for watching a series on that process.
YES!!!!! Me too 🙂
The hydrangeas are gorgeous.....Mary you are so, so kind......Your home and property is so beautiful!!!!! What a great video!!!!!
😂LOL "John ran to get the chain saw". Love that!! Love your channel. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the potting shed/club house. I never thought of growing tea other than herbal like mints or rose petal. I love all your outdoor areas. They are so welcoming and pleasant. Well....I should say I love everything you do!!
Hi Mary, I commend you for not allowing the criticism you receive to bother you.
You do you. No 🧤 yes🩴🩴 👍.
Love the rain sound on the roof. Thank you for sharing your family and your life with us. Your channel is a blessing and source of light in a world that is sometimes dark.
Why do people feel their negative opinions need to be voiced? They are of no value to anyone. I enjoy all of your videos and admire all you do, Mary.
Mary you look exceptionally pretty today, you are always pretty though. Thanks for the extra video. 🌸 ps. I live in an area in East Tennessee that’s called Stoney Creek……rocks rocks rocks lol. It always amazes me how people dare to tell you what you can do on your own property, the tree cutting for instance. I also love the metal gate.
My grandma had those chain-link gates and I like them too! I think decorating a home is all about things that mean something to you; kind of making your home a museum of you and your family by telling your story. I prefer some contrasts, differences to everything being matchy-matchy. As for hydrangeas...different hydrangeas should be pruned at different times. Those that bloom on old wood should be trimmed right after they flower. Those blooming on new wood should be pruned in late winter or early spring. Love hearing the nature sounds in the background of your videos!
I love the look of gates in the garden with flowers growing around them.
I love my flip flops too! Once it’s warm enough, I wear nothing but; until it’s too cold for my bare toes. 😂
No flip flops for me! I am a Senior Citizen and once I fell wearing them. My Doctor told me to not wear flip flops ever again…. I am a Retired RN…. I should have known better.
I love all that you do. Your glasses look stunning!
Please keep cooking some fun, fatty foods! I am a health food nut, but love some fat every now and then and prefer old family fatty menus. If you are gonna go, go big!!!!!🤣
Mary I love your little shed . Your hydrangeas are beautiful. I don't always comment on your videos but your property is absolutely gorgeous this year. Thank you for sharing everything you and John do around your yard. I get so many ideas for my yard from watching your channel. Hope you and your family have a wonderful vacation. Stay safe 🤗💓💕💞
Just love your channel! I look forward to it every Wednesday. The Q & As are great! You are such a sweet and humble person! May God continue to bless you!
When I garden, I don't normally wear gloves either. Something about feeling the earth in my hands is so therapeutic!! You keep doing what you do however you want to do it Mary! You are the best! Have a blessed day!!
I'm over joyed that you wasn't bothered about the gate comments!! I personally love it and think its a brilliant idea! Keep being you and God bless
Mary, I wear flip flops to garden, and I seldom wear gloves. I have made it to 80 years old without any problems. Do what is comfortable for you.
Mary my hydrangeas are beautiful this year. Don’t know the reason why they bloom some years and are scarce other years. I’m in Pennsylvania above Philadelphia.
A friend is dealing with Lyme, so we occasionally discuss this. 2 things that stuck in my mind are that some study indicated that Lyme is caused by a parasite and a way to 'remove those parasites' is via a foot-bath with hydrogen peroxide, which somehow pulls these out through the bottom of one's feet. If memory serves, one should soak for at least 20 minutes, but if you're considering this, it would be very wise to research that. Be well!
Mary, I love the gate. Don't take it out! It is charming! Of course, an older vintage one would look good!
Milder winter helps this variety of hydrangea. After 15 years I got a bloom on one I was intending to take out.
Hi Mary, I love your shed. I could sit there forever especially with the rain. The hydrangeas are beautiful 😊
And I love the metal gate
Different Strokes for Different Folks should be everyone’s motto. It’s your home and thanks for sharing it.
I believe Pennsylvania Dutch is actually Deutsch - much more German than anything from the Netherlands, but I'm sure it's a combination of several languages.
The squirrels have learned the pillows have stuffing. Their getting it to put in the den to have babies. I live in SC just on the out skirts of town at the base of the mountains. Here they get all kinds of stuff paper, silk flowers, fishing line, something chewed plastic looked like a shot gun she'll, grease rags ect. We also have deer, bears, rabbits, coyotes , racoons . Thank you Mary love the q&a's
I am pleased you do not include makeup, hair, etc, in your video.
I totally agree with you, but why would she? She’s such a natural beauty don’t you think? Her content is so much more interesting than hair and makeup.
I’m so pleased also. Seems like every other channel I watch, they talk about their makeup routine. I don’t enjoy watching them.
Hi Mary, I enjoy your Q & A videos. With all you enjoy doing, you still connect to us as if you were in our home. Thank you and thank all who have contributed to your videos. I love that MB has helped you with orders being sent to us. Everything, packing, and mailing quickly is top-notch. Thanks again and blessings to all of you.
I just have to tell you I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the GATE. I even told my husband I’d like to put a gate like that on our deck! You are extremely talented!!!!
Mary, as far as the dirt on your hands.. you are grounding when you are working in the dirt directly or walking barefoot …grounding is good ..sometime, if you don’t know about it, please read about it…👍🏻‼️😁
Last year I cut my blue hydrangea back really hard. It’s doing fabulous this year. I have also found that if I leave my hydrangeas alone, they bloom better. two plants that I have never had blooms on are blooming this year, because I left them alone.
Mary, the hydrangeas look like mophead; therefore, you do not prune these in late winter/ early spring because you will cut all the buds off. If you have to prune, then you prune right after they flower in the summer.
Mary, I just found your channel recently and I just want to say you are a blessing, and watching your videos is like taking a trip to the spa or a retreat. I work in the corporate world and coming home mentally exhausted and kicking back to watch you is so uplifting! My husband who doesn't like to watch home decor shows normally really enjoys watching your show as well and often comments on how you really know how to paint and what a good job you do on everything. Thank you again for your wonderful channel! P.S. I have a metal gate very similar to yours that I picked up at a antique store and can't wait to use mine and I love how you added yours.
What a treat to get an unexpected video from you, Mary. Thank you so much 👍👍👍
I love a little friendly chit chat like this!
I wonder if you don’t have a critter problem because of your cats. Love all your home and garden design Mary, plus I admire your confidence and the way you accept criticism and don’t take on board negative comments. ❤
Lovely video, as always
Yes there is an "Orchard House." You must have read "Little Women" when you were a girl. Louisa May Alcott lived and wrote in her home in Concord Massachusetts. It's a lovely place to visit. Love you videos!
As for your bottom comment….people don’t eat the same as they did back in the day, when people were out doing manual labor ALL DAY. They wore off the carbs and calories easily. Thanks for sharing your heritage.
As for adding more cottages with 2 bedroom….Not everyone wants to vacation where kids are around. I appreciate the one bedroom units. My husband and I tend to go to “adult only” places. (Yes, we had kids and grandkids but love to get away to places where it is quiet.) 😊
Mary many thanks for all your inspiration.
Can I ask you to experiment.....add a blob of colour on ONE project....and see how it makes you feel...nothing outrageous...maybe paint one table leg red....it will certainly get comments going.
I'm suggesting this because this year I'm stepping outside my own comfort zone.
Anyway big thanx again
We have Hydrangeas of various colors and types and we're learning about pruning (how much, when and how often). Our Limelight and our one blue Hydrangea both bloom on 'old wood". My hubby pruned the Blue Hydrangea last year; it filled back nicely with leaves with no blooms. This year the bush is overflowing with blooms! This Spring we pruned our Limelight bush. Although it grew back every bit of what we pruned, but no bloom buds so far. Maybe this is another one that blooms on "old wood". A week ago, I spotted bloom buds but still no flowers. 🤷🏻♀️
I love your metal gate and if I ever find one I will get it and I know exactly where I will put it. I love your Q & A….your are truly a jewel.
I love 100% of everything you do!!! 😊❤
Ditto❤
A type of Camellia is where black and white tea come from... probably green too
I know of the perfect house for your antique farm Orchard House 🏡! It’s a beautiful old farm house in Rossford (south of Toledo) on Route 20 between Target and Kroger. They built a huge shopping complex in this area, but left this beautiful farmhouse. I wish I could buy and move it, but I can’t. It’s got your name on it 😊
Mary thank you for your honesty. You keep being you! ❤
Love your shed and hydrangeas! Why did you fork the bread? I don’t think I have ever seen that except for finger poking focaccia! Looks yummy!
Why is bread scored before baking? Bread crust expands as it bakes. You score the dough prior to baking to give that expansion direction.
Oh like cutting it with a bread lame! TY!
Would love to see the “boys” do a Q& A but have you and your husband ever done one together, I think that would be fun!
Your lovely videos are a glimpse into your life, that you so graciously share with us...they are not made for commenters to be rude and judge-y, and what they dislike, want to change, not do, not purchase! It is not up to them, how you decorate your home...you are just SHARING what you did...not asking for permission!
As a German living nearby the border to the Netherlands I promise, the word you said is neither Deutsch nor Holländisch 😂. I may be able to discover a connection, if I could see the spelled word. I proclaim Pennsilvanian Dutch as an independent Language with European roots❤. Be blessed! I love and watch all your videos!
Oh, I love your Q & A"s it's just so calming and relaxing especially in the she shed with nature all around.
That's too bad that the lady lost her pillows to squirrels but I can top that. The city squirrels where I live chewed the wires of my husband's truck and we had to have it towed and the wires replaced which cost $2000. He ended up buying a new truck which cost $50,000 and now we are building a new garage which is costing $25,000 so a $77,000 squirrel in total haha. I'm half joking, he needed a new truck, his was 15 years old but he wasn't happy spending $2000 on one he knew he was getting rid of.
Poodles I got such a kick out of your comment.
@@lisamartin2143 It escalated quickly didn't it?
As a child who play often in the woods I got tick bites several times, 60s and 70s. It wasn't unusual and we'd never heard of lyme disease. Now I am 63(on July 4😁🇺🇲), but I've have extremely severe autoimmune conditions for decades. Life altering. Does anyone know if ticks could have contributed to this? My doctors never have addressed it...btw, the ticks were almost always on my head. I have/had super thick hair and a rash would have been impossible to see... Rocky Mt spotted fever was never a term I heard either until I was an adult... so tired of the mysterious ailments and doctors say "sometimes we just don't know...")
Some hydranges bloom on old wood so if you cute or trim them you are getting rid of next year's blooms.
Hi Mary just love all your videos. As I was watching this one you said you were bit by a tick. I too was bit last summer and still trying to get over this disease. If you don’t mind me asking since I don’t know anyone with the symptoms of this, did you have problems with your arms aching when you used them.? And did you get dizzy at all? I sure would appreciate if you could let me know. I live in east liverpool,ohio not far from you. Trying to get down in your area soon. Thank you so much if you could share. God bless you. Sue
I just received my crock candle and lily of the valley soap. If you want to treat yourself shop these items. Amazing quality and the scents are amazing!
Someone mentioned pillows being taken by squirrels. I don’t have that problem, but living in the country in Iowa, we have quite a few windy days, and I lost a pillow once from in front of our house, it probably ended up in a corn field! So now I sew a ribbon on the bottom of each pillow, and TIE it to the wicker chair.
Mary, your new glasses frames look so beautiful on you! Perfect choice for you! Thank you for all you do. I absolutely love you and your videos. :)
Grow tea, oh yes this grew at my grandparents farm (now my brothers). It grew along the creek banks. Best tea on a hot summer day. Funny though you called it field tea we called it creek tea. ❤
My parents had hydrangeas that never bloomed in the 23 years they lived there….until…I dug around them and loosened the soil. They had listed the house and lo and behold….they bloomed. 🤷♀️😁
In my last home (before current one) my favorite thing that drew me to the home was the entire east side of the house was planted in hydrangeas-the big mophead kind with the huge leaves. The blooms were mostly blue but some years, almost purple-they were so beautiful. I left the home and the husband and the girlfriend cut all of them down except two of the bushes. Not sure why I am telling you all this, but it broke my heart and they weren't even mine to being with. The home was built in 1940 and that original owner and her daughter planted them some time in the 1960's-they were stunning and just made the east side of the house. I do remember they need lots of water to bloom-lots meaning every few days depending upon the temperature.
The deer are eating everything in our yard in alabama this year. Even stuff they're not supposed to like. Very frustrating
Great video, Mary. Thank you for the Q&A.
My nephew contracted Lyme disease when he was about 10 and the doctor told my sister and her husband to give him grapefruit seed extract and colloidal silver. It took all the symptoms away and he hasn't had any trouble since and he was hurting so bad that they had to push him around in a stroller for a while because his legs hurt so bad. I love the sound of the rain at the end. It reminded me of those ASMR videos. You should try to do one where instead of playing the music, just let us hear the natural sounds of you moving about in your garden or home doing things. It's very calming to hear the birds and watch the cat being silly, or just the sounds of you baking.
Love that sound of rain on roofs and windows. Thanks for sharing. Love everything you do.
I’m a tree hugger too. Unfortunately we lost a large white pine tree this year. Im so sad that we lost it. We are in our mid sixties and my husband and I cut it down and cut it up ourselves. No we’d like to add some new trees to fill in for privacy.
Loved the rain on the roof. We have a sunroom with a steel roof. Love the sound of rain.
Stay focused on the Lyme disease. It’s no joke. Find a Lyme literate doctor
Some hydrangeas bloom on old wood, so if trimmed too late, it will not bloom. I don't have luck with the hydrangeas where I live in WestTN. Maybe I am just too lazy
I saw a couple other gates listed on Etsy. I’ll try coping the photo. Or I’ll share with you on Etsy.
I always enjoy your Q & A videos as well as all of your videos! 😊❤😊
My hydrangeas are gorgeous this year. They’re about 7 years old. This is the most they’ve bloomed.
Love your little shed! The gate too! So enjoy your videos no matter what you are sharing. This Saturday Q&A is a treat! Have an awesome vacation! Happy 4th of July! 🤗
Sounds like rain. I love the rain. Always enjoy your videos Mary. Hope you and yours have a nice vacation. Happy 4th of July to you and your family. 😊 Take Care😊
Same for my hydrangeas. I didn’t cut mine down and they’re blooming a beautiful purplish dark blue. Last year no blooms.
I have a gate similar to yours. Usually it's just a backdrop for 🪴on my porch .
I love the gate!! Stay with whatever makes your ❤ happy. That definitely makes mine 😊 happy. Mine is in the shed right now and you just made me want to bring it back out. Mine was used between two town neighbors and I can just imagine the visits for tea between two ladies at one time. My heart melts.
I used to cut back my hydrangeas and they did not bloom either, then I read somewhere not to cut them back,and they are blooming now
I dry my rose petals for tea but would like to grow an ice tea plant. Any suggestions? also I have arch problems and wear sandals by FitFlop. They have arches but are expensive.
Archies (their own website & on Amazon) are also a good but less expensive brand. I love mine.
So love you and your videos Mary. I am always looking for useful do overs with things I Have and need a up dating,and you always bring it to your channel. Love metal gates or any rod iron decor in my yard. I have Sprayed my gates and rod iron blk. They pop my flower gardens .
I think the hydrangeas bloom on old wood and it didn’t freeze this spring. Mine also bloomed
I wanted to see your
Baked bread. Looked so good
I also cant work with gloves on.
Maybe the critters stay off your pillows because you have a cat???
I am further south in North Carolina and my hydrangeas are doing wonderfully this year because we had such a rainy spring. Unfortunately we haven't had rain now for a few weeks and the beautiful flowers are starting to burn but I am cutting the pretty ones and enjoying them in the house. I was thinking that possibly the deer could have been eating the buds since you live in a wooded area but often as you probably know separating a plant will give it new life I have been a hydrangea fanatic for about 25 years now because they are so long lasting outside and inside❤
Love your channel! Always great content!
I am a local. Here in Amish Country all my bushes are looking great this year!!
The deer are eating my roses, Lillie’s and even small trees!!!
This is the first time in yrs my hydrangeas have bloomed. 🤷♀️
Love your videos!!!
Love your Q&A videos also. Your home is beautiful inside and out.
I love your channel and your honesty!!!
Squirrels do pillows for nesting.
How is upon fig you topped? I need to top mine…put in water or soil? Thank you!❤️
