Linda, I wanted to tell you I'm 79 years old. I always wanted to go to New England but didn't happen. I'm so happy to see New England through your eyes. It makes me feel like I'm right there. I'm so.
Grateful for you.
I enjoy and can't wait to see each Sunday. Your videos, thank you. You're a very special person.
Hello to You, I'm 78 and a widow Enjoy also going along with Linda on her adventurers too. I live in the Mid central USA on a quite homestead. Linda is so grounded that so many can relate to her Kindred Sprit. Sending Warm Fuzzies to a fellow Sprit during these days in remembering the past also where you could get a cup of coffee for ten cents with free refills. ☕☕☕☕🌞🌞🍍🍍
I am also 79. After enjoying last week's video on naming houses, my husband and I have had fun coming up with a list of possible names for our home. We are close to choosing a favorite and want to have 2 brass name plaques made for installation on our front driveway pillars. Thank you for your ideas. I love your channel.
That’s so funny, my sister bit in a wax apple at my grandmother’s when she was little. My grandma wrapped it up and gave it to her as a wedding shower gift.
I am truly grateful for RUclipsrs like you who take us to places we would otherwise miss out on or show us how to’s to make life more enjoyable. I have learned many things from you and am looking forward to many more! I am, of course, grateful for my family and my health, but those are always a give in! Have a wonderful week, Linda, as I am grateful for Sundays with you!
Looks like a fun day! I would grind the coffee a second time to see if it makes a difference. Love your find of the small ironstone pitcher! I like to collect “all” kinds of pitchers.
Perfectly said, I second it♥️
Hi Linda. What a beautiful town, beautiful sky (I love the golden hour), and glorious cloud! ⚡️
The music you choose for your videos always seems just perfect! There are so many charming things about where you live. You have a definite eye for places that bring joy.
My thought and feeling exactly
The cloud segment was magical! ❤️❤️❤️
Good morning Linda. I'm greatful just to wake up to a new day as I grow older & suffer with my aches & pains. I loved the video of the lightning through the beautiful clouds. I miss a good summer thunderstorm. The smell of it rolling in. Don't see many in California. 😢 I miss the east coast & am sorry I left. It's just so beautiful & historical ❤❤ God has blessed you.❤
Just a consideration, if you cut those pines you will greatly increase the wind that hits your property since they are on the western side (the prevailing wind direction side) and have the height and girth to disperse the wind. You wont be grateful if the gardens you put your heart and soul into keep getting flattened by the wind.
I especially liked the travels and shops etc. What a beautiful area you live in. Thanks for sharing.
Linda, you always have the most amazing videos! I always look forward to seeing them.
The lightening in the clouds was fantastic! I’m grateful for Gods creation and my sight to enjoy your wonderful video. Thank you Linda.
I loved everything in this video - but I have to tell you, Linda - that cloud coverage was absolutely wonderful. Spending time witnessing God’s amazing creation in action is the most incredibly awe-inspiring way to spend one’s time. Thank you for that beautiful coverage!🤍
Lovely video, thank you for sharing so many beautiful things with us. ❤
Linda, I am grateful for you....and that you take me back ,to one of my favorite places on earth...New England...❤
Hi Linda! What an interesting, visually beautiful segment this is. Love your side trips to quaint places…..so happy they still exist. To think the Inn you showed was moved from Boston to New Hampshire and put together piece by piece; it reveals the ingenuity, tenacity, bravery, hard work, and grit of people so many years ago. Amazing that it is still used and enjoyed today. The “cloud show” was phenomenal. Thank you again for providing pleasant, informative and lovely content! So much in life to be grateful for!
Greetings, Linda. Truly enjoyed this video. There is never a day that doesn't engender a sense of gratitude. Your dad was wise in telling you to LOOK UP. Your capture of the lightening cloud was spectacular! Thank you for sharing this experience.
Thank you for focusing on the practice of being grateful. When we stop to give thanks for all the blessings (big or small )that we have in our lives, it changes our mindset and enhances our overall wellbeing. Thank you Linda, I am truly grateful for today’s video! 😊
Im grateful for waking up in the morning and being guided by the Lord. I am grateful for what He is has done, what He is doing and what He is going to do. I love Him ❤
You live in such a beautiful place with little to no traffic getting around. People here drive fast and like idiots most of the time. We have the rudest drivers 🤦🏼♀️ I’ve spent lots of time in New England, various states and it’s definitely a place I’d move if I could. ❤You are so blessed to live in such a wonderful place! I’m born a California gal but a New England gal at heart! 🥰
What a fabulous place to live. I am in the Los Angeles County area so this sort of thing is non-existent. You are so Blessed to be in such a wonderland......
I am grateful I found this channel and am amazed that the honor system not only exists but that people still honor it. Restores my faith in humanity ❤
Geeks unite! Haha. I love a good lightning storm as long as nothing gets damaged or hurt. I feel a New England vacation coming soon! I'm so homesick! Thanks for these videos. They really inspire me!
I just want to tell you that I am grateful for you! I always learn so many things! I took home economics in high school for 4 years and I never knew there was a something called a glass knife holder! Thank you! for sharing so much of your experiences and knowledge with your RUclips followers.
I am grateful for you and your channel Linda. For years I had my nose to the grindstone as a single Mother my life was work, home, then back again. There was absolutely NO time for play, exploration and certainly no money. I have had a lifelong interest in traditional decor, New England, and the history surrounding the Revolutionary period. When I discovered your channel I was OVERJOYED to find anyone-yes, SOMEONE with similar interests! I LOVE that you take your followers to so many interesting places that I might never have the opportunity to visit myself. All I can say is my gratitude is immeasurable and I THANK YOU! 😊
Thank you for the reminder to give thought each day to what we are thankful for! That habit real!y makes a difference in how you address your day! I am grateful for those beautiful cloud videos and the reminder to look up!
Wow Linda I think this is one of your best videos, it was lovely to visit that pretty town, I agree it’s so nice to be able to still have a general store to buy from! So many large outlets now are killing the small towns. That particular store reminded me of ‘ The Walton’s’ .. Ike Godseys Store! Do you remember? ‘ Good Night John Boy’.. So much character in this video. Love the coffee grinder!.. The stunning display of lightening from your home was spectacular, I loved it! Your Father was a wise man, so much to see if you only look up! Thanks Linda, fabulous video!….😊
Linda, my husband & I smiled widely watching the cloud clip since we sat out watching the same "show" for about a half hour until a skunk chased us inside. As a child we referred to it as heat lightening. I'm grateful for my life, so blessed in so many ways. That being said, I'm always grateful for your videos, coffee, watermelon in this heat. Grateful for books, candles, I could go on endlessly. Life is a gift. Enjoy
I just love the quaint towns and shops you visit! I, too, am a weather geek and loved your footage of the cumulonimbus cloud! I have seen those from the air in the fully charged state - so cool!! Thanks again for the relaxing moments, Linda!
Great video Linda! Thanks for reminding me to Grateful daily. 😊
I loved the coffee grinder, what a wonderful treat 😊😊
Lovely! Thanks, Linda. I've been very sad because my oldest and dearest friend-we met when we were 5, in each other's weddings-recently died of COPD. This video was not only comforting, but helped me put things in perspective a bit. How grateful l was, and what a privilege it was to have Ellie in my life. Thank you so much.
Bring back the " Honor system". Great places.
I share all your "things to be grateful for", even though I cannot travel to those quaint shops or purchase those beautiful antiques. I'm grateful that I get to watch others do it! Thank you!
Hi Linda, my husband and I alway enjoy the subjects you share. I did wanted to share with you something my husband said while we were watching today’s show. He said:
‘’You can use miracle grow to patina your copper fish, thats the process that was done on the Statute Of Liberty when she was rebuilt”. He has done that process himself. Also… the little knobby on the top of your coffee grinder should turn to adjust the size of the grind. Hope that helps. Have a wonderful week!
What an amazing capture of that cloud activity! I don't know that I have ever seen such a show like that! I too, like the charming shops and towns and pineapple items. Those glasses are so pretty! Thank you for the town tours!
Linda, thank you for another great video. I always enjoy your variety of content and music selections. What a wonderful theme "What I am grateful for". We all have so much to be thankful for in life; starting with God, life, health, family, friends, our freedoms in this great country, and the list goes on. I am very grateful for you and your weekly videos that bring peace and inspiration to us all. Since I live in New York City, I only get to see your beautiful New England villages, shops, and tours through your camera lens. God bless your "kindred spirit", Robert.
Wow ! to be in the right place at the right time to experience the clouds and lighting ! Never have I ever seen anything like that before!!! Something to always keep to watch over and over again !! The sky was definitely telling a story ! The power of Mother Nature for sure ! Thanks for sharing
I’m grateful for seeing parts of the world where I couldn’t be. The music with the lightnings just made me cry. I’m grateful for experiencing the beauty of our world in a deeper level.
Oh, so many things I’d love to talk about with you over a cup of that that fresh ground coffee! (I’m grateful for delicious coffee!) Your grinder might have an adjustment on it to make finer grounds. Many do. The knob near the top? About country stores … one of my all time New England favorites is the general store at the Calvin Coolidge Historic Site in Plymouth Notch, VT. In fact, the whole historic village is a gem! And so interesting to learn about President Calvin Coolidge. My dad took me there often when I was young. Thank you for this most excellent video!
I was thinking the same about the grinder adjustment. 👍
Sooo much beauty in one video ❤😍 Thankyou for sharing with us Linda. Have a wonderful week x
Loved this! I have a Post It note in my car that reads “Say out loud every day 10 things you are grateful for”. It can be as simple as “I am grateful that I woke up and my back didn’t hurt” or “I’m grateful I had food in my house for breakfast”. You get the idea. Doing that sets the stage for my attitude that day. Try it.
Love the hunt for treasures. Thank you for sharing with us.❤
Beautiful video, Linda!
I would be grateful for the most of same things you found to be grateful for! Thank you for sharing your special thoughts in this video..
Thank you Linda!!! I will now be watching the sky \ clouds all the time!!!! That was amazing!! I am so grateful when I wake each dsy, and for my family and friends🌌🌌⚡⚡🍍🍍☕☕👍👍
i would think you adjust the grind by the handle notice the threads.
I am grateful for your channel...thru good times and bad times your channel has cheered me up, has given me such inspiration for my home inside and outside, and has given me such a different outlook on life...oh and great minds think alike because when I saw that white pitcher I said out loud "oh that's pretty!" Then I saw "come to mama!" 🤣 enjoy your week! Looking forward to seeing your next video! ❤
OH Linda, loved today and going through New England and stores with you. Thank you. I love looking at the slow version of the storm in the cloud. What a difference when you can see ALL that is going on. Thank you. General Stores are the best. loved you video today. Have a great week. See you next week.
I love this video! I'm so very grateful my husband survived a massive heart attack one year ago this month. We celebrated by staying in a historic Inn in Virginia and a splurge meal.
The cloud was magnificent!
How charming to see places and stores that are so different. Nice to know that every part of the country doesn't lock up everything behind glass cabinets because the people are untrustworthy. Very calming, very relaxing to see the lifestyle in New England country side. Thank you for bringing it to us.
WOW!!! Magnificent video Linda. Can’t wait to see that area one day soon🙏🌸🌿Thank you!
That cloud, positively mesmerizing! Thanks for the light show!
The Cloud formation with the lighting show , was as Magical as the small towns. quaint shops and stores. TU for taking us along!
I'm grateful for too many things to list! Thank you, Linda, for your videos showing my favorite places in our country!
I too purchased an antique coffee grinder in case of electrical power failure! Many more antique stores here in CT selling vintage clothing. I knew way back I should have kept my grandmother's 1940s clothing. Thunderstorm...hubby made me turn off the computer in the middle of this video....grateful that storm rolled by without incident and I flipped the switch to finish!
LOved the antique store. That highboy was beautiful, and that possible dining room buffet- gorgeous. Oh the cloud and lightening- out of this world!
What a beautiful and peaceful video. I just loved it. Here are some things I’m grateful for. I’m grateful for you and your channel, I’m grateful for the things I learned from you about gardening, I’m grateful for the beauty you show us of New England where I have never been, I’m grateful for these Things and they bring me so much joy.
Thank you for showing us your area. I'm Grateful for simple things that fill me with joy during my day. This week it has been watching all the birds, squirrels & chipmunks get water out of my birdbath during our heat dome weather. Love the coffee grinder - my husband uses the electric one & the cats go flying thru the house every time. I don't like it either.
Thank you for the video! I enjoy everything you show.
I absolutely loved the gorgeous lighting show in the clouds. I was mesmerized, it was amazing.
We literally live in thee best state. I'm so grateful to say New Hampshire is my home 🙂
Very enjoyable video, Linda. Loved seeing a pic of your Dad and a reminder to 'always look up'. The video of the sky was so amazing. Look forward to seeing those cute dresses on you.
This was my favorite video of yours ever. Grateful for the half hour I greatly enjoyed while watching. I love your eye for beauty, whether it’s garden flowers, scenery, weather, vintage and thrifted items…I come away inspired again, Linda. Thank you.
That gorgeous sunset at 7:22 is just everything! The colors of the sunset, along with the white of your home and the green trees. Omg swoon! EDIT: I wrote the comment before seeing the storm in that cloud. Wow!!!
Linda thank you so much for taking us along with you and sharing so much..Im grateful for all which also makes me grateful for all the little things..I really enjoyed this and as always thank you for everything.. Beautiful places to see .. Until next time..
So enjoyed visiting all those quaint shops. Very nice purchases. The cloud and lightening was beautiful. Thanks for sharing it
Thanks for another wonderful reminder of New England. And, as far as I'm concerned, you can keep those special weather events coming. Those clouds were great!
You chose the perfect music for the cloud/lightning sequence. Love your channel.
I moved to Maine last October. It was a lifelong dream and at 50 it finally happened. I moved from Omaha, Ne(a city of nearly 1 million ppl). When I would take my walks back there, I'd rarely look around me. It just wasn't all that pretty. But I've noticed that when I walk here in Maine, I'm always "looking up" as you said, Linda. There are so many gorgeous trees! In the Midwest, there weren't that many but here? Omg. I am still so busy looking up and around me that I've tripped a few times😂. Worth it, though.
This is a wonderful tribute to being grateful! (An attitude of gratitude.) You do a fabulous job with your videos. Thank you for sharing. 👏👏👏👏👏
Beautiful video, Linda. I enjoyed it so much. You have so much to be grateful for! Thanks for sharing.
My husband was an 18 th wheeler for the oil fields. He would sit on top of his truck and tell the lightening to " Show me the magic" every time there was a storm coming It's amazing what you will see
I'm grateful Ben shares you with us❤
I’m grateful for all of the above and for my family and friends and good health and you Linda 😊
Linda I am grateful to have found you on I pad enjoy. All the trips with you gardening shopping decorated
Each morning I ask that my heart be open for whatever I am needed for that day. I express gratitude that I have this day to live. But, I think to express gratitude for the day as it ends, requires more commitment to that day. Each day offers it's own challenges, some more difficult than others but none the less challenges. For 40 yrs I lived in a pre civil war farmhouse that had a mature acre of pine trees nearby and visible out of my kitchen window. I was thankful for that stand as it boasted frequent double rainbows. And at 82 my gratitude includes every one of those years. Thank you Linda for stretching our minds and creativity.
Just loved this video Linda. Your videos make us homesick for New England. We lived in Maine for 20 years before moving back home to Pennsylvania to be close to family. Your videos help us visit those quaint cafes and country stores. Thanks so much.
I enjoyed the trip with you albeit from the other side of the globe. Thank you for sharing with us the lovely new treasures you have selected for your home 🏠
I’m grateful for, Linda Smith Davis video post. You take me to beautiful places and sights I may not be able to see, otherwise. I loved that piece you thought about for your dining room. I think we must be kindred spirits because I was thinking the same thing about the trees to see the sunrise and sunsets better. I remember you saying when leaving Groton House, “If only I could figure out how to take this view with me.” It did have wonderful views. ❤
Linda, I so want to live where your home and shops are. I have two living room end tables with pull out serving trays love them. I love the adventures you take us on. I am so glad to be a kindred spirit. I find it so therapeutic to clean up my thief finds and display them.
Wonderful video Linda. I always enjoy seeing the cozy places you bring us to ☺️. Country roads, general stores are my absolute favorites. The footage of the lightning in the cloud was so cool to see, and also the grinder 😁. Have a nice evening.
Thank you for a good Sunday visit the cloud was awesome and I love the music have a blessed week 😊
Another wonderful video. I got lost in this one...watched it 4 times. The lightning in the cloud was incredible. Loved it.
Wonderful video; shopping, dinner and a light show!!! Thank you!!!
I’m grateful for being able to walk to a café to enjoy a delicious coffee drink and a good book.
Oh my gosh! That cloud!! THANK you for sharing this - I've never seen anything like that before! Fascinating . . . You are SO fun to watch - and I learn so much. I only watch two youtube channels - and you are one of them. I subscribe to a few - but I rarely watch. I like to support their work:) You work SO hard at filming, editing, research - I'd pay to watch your channel (you should think about that). I look forward to every Sunday with you - you make my day! You truly are a class act:) And I love how you don't say 'haul' very much - I just hate that word . . . I think 'finds' or 'treasures' are much more fitting (for you anyway). Wishing you the very best - Kind Regards, Karen
I look forward to your videos and your voice calms my anxiety as I am in another world watching your historical videos. ❤
Beautiful video, thanks for sharing.
Loved the footage of the cloud, unbelievably beautiful.
I loved the entire video, but the cloud footage was especially enjoyable! Thank you for sharing it!
Your video skills just get better and better. The cloud footage was amazing. I have always paid attention to clouds and find them fascinating. When our son was growing up, in two of his bedrooms, we painted blue skies with fluffy clouds. We have so many fond memories of looking up at the ceiling to discover faces, objects, or animals in the swirls of paint. I guess that I am grateful for clouds! Great finds in your thrifting. Hope that you purchased that dining room buffet. It’s very pretty. I am also grateful for beautiful furniture and the people who make it. Such charm in your corner of the country.
American Heritage Dictionary - Geek: 1. A person regarded as foolish, inept, or clumsy. 2. A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept. 3. A carnival performer whose show consists of bizarre acts, such as biting the head off a live chicken. Sorry I don't see you fitting this defiintion. I see a person with values that honor honesty, simplicity and creativity. It's why I watch your channel! xxxooo
She is using the more common, colloquial meaning. Nerds and geeks are cool now 😎
@@KristynLorraine A perfect example of how meaning is challened and edited to fit a desired reality. This take will be good for a certain length of time. Continued to be challenged in the future in order for their own self expression. Unfortunately - what is "cool" to one is not 'cool' to another as this exchange confirms. Labeling oneself is a person's right but expect that it is an opinion and not an expression that 'all' would be in agreement with.
Hello dear, Linda!!! Oh what a lovely video. Like you, I am very grateful for the little things in life. It's in the little things that I find the most pleasure. Some of them are----going to church, watching the wind blow through the trees on a warm windy day, drinking coffee, listening to beautiful music are a few things that I love. I love seeing all the general stores----they bring such a feeling of appreciation. I hope you and Ben have a wonderful evening!!!!
You can adjust the grind with the nut on top of the post on your coffee grinder. I have one that belonged to my dear babysitter. She was probably married around 1915. I imagine she acquired the grinder about that time. She was Swedish American and made Swedish coffee with an egg. Her grinder is exactly like, or close to, yours. We love the coffee we grind in it!
Oh those clouds were beautiful! You always have the most entertaining video's. Many years ago my late husband and I traveled to Maine for a few days. I wish we would have spent more time and traveled the back roads of New England.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video! You had me laughing out loud when you commented “Come to momma”.
I'm thankful for the beautiful world God gave us and that I have time to enjoy it 💐
Beautiful video , loved all the little shops and the cloud with lightening was incredible!
Great video, Linda! I really enjoyed the trip around where you live. I live in Louisville, Kentucky and have never been to the New England States. If you’re a geek then we all better watch out. Again, thanks for sharing 😊
Hi Linda, love your coffee grinder. The coarse grind is perfect for a French press. 💟 Enjoy using this special addition.
New England is just so pretty and your videos feel very nostalgic to me. ❤
Ya know that was a very good trip and seeing the houses that had been moved that was something loved the trip Thank you
