Garden To-Do List and Making Rose Hydrosol!🌹

Hey there! Thanks for watching:)
The last few weeks, Jon was away so I had my hands full! Before he left, the boys and he enjoyed swimming in our lake while I planted the Rosmaninho (French Lavender). I was pinching myself as I was in the glorious sun, hands dirty, smelling the Rosmaninho, and watching my family have a blast in our natural olympic sized swimming pool:)
For weeks, I've been going to check on our Damas Roses every morning, watching for them to be open enough to collect them. Enjoy the rose eye-candy, as I collect a bunch of them and make a rose hydrosol (distilled rose water) and glycerines (non-alcoholic extractions) for the first time, living out a childhood dream, so I can pass it on to my kids. I wish I could add smell to the videos!
I made a trusty to-do list for things that needed to be done in the garden and around the house on the land, and felt that good ol' satisfaction with each one checked off. You'll see that 'tidy' and 'cut back dead weeds' only get a half check bc theres SO much!
Thank you again for watching and supporting our channel:)

Another wonderful video. You've captured some beautiful images of nature and your garden. If there is a place on earth close to heaven, it must be in a garden. And this is a take away: Some emotional benefits of Rose: Heart opening & connecting to love; Support in grief & sadness; Uplifting to mood & outlook on life. Nature has some special alchemy. Thank you.

Good morning, your so busy 😁, felt guilty watching you work and so am now going to mow lawns 😂. Loved what you said about aunt & rose scent 👌🏻, I love scent of roses too and to me is smell of summer sunshine and childhood freedom. Great photography/ videography, and yep “ To do lists” just get longer as summer progresses, love the wild meadow look 👌🏻, stay safe and see you next vid , don’t work too hard 😁.

[@theyellowbootshomestead]

Ooo I wish I could send you some of the rose water! I love that it reminds you of that- so beautiful!
Thanks again and have a lovely week! ✌🏽
