  • We're experiencing true winter at our country home. We've never seen so much snow in the garden before. This is the kind of winter we love. We made sure all our bird feeders are refilled so that we could enjoy the company of our feathered friends. Two weeks later we're back in the city, and while Tommy is working, Peter will take you for a trip to enjoy a sunny winter day.

It's wonderful to see the beauty of your country and we appreciate the history lesson too. We know so little of European history and are always happy to learn more.

    Excellent video, Peter!!! The garden was lovely, and the visiting dog stole the show. He is so cute, and you were great playing with him. The hike was wonderful, too. I am always amazed at the quality of the footage you shoot when you are alone in the "wilderness" without a camera crew to back you up. Thank you and stay warm!!! ❤❤❤

    Beautiful video! There is something so peaceful about snow covered ground and frosted trees! I loved watching the birds at your bird feeders! What kind were they? So pretty! Peter, thank you for taking us along on your hike. Getting out in nature has a way of lifting your spirit (at least for me) and making you feel good and you get the bonus of getting a great workout! Hoping to get out soon. We currently have about 5-7 inches of snow and have had dangerously low temperatures with windchills as low as -35 degrees! More snow is predicted along with blowing snow and bitter windchills so I will only be going out when necessary! Take care! Love and hugs to you and Tommy!

    • @tommyandpeter
      @tommyandpeter  6 месяцев назад

      Thank you, Peggy 😊 Winter with snow can be very beautiful and peaceful. The birds are mainly great tits, blue tits and sparrows. The colorful yellowish one with the black head is the great tit 😊 Nice to hear that you also have snow but those temperatures sound very brrrr!! Stay warm 😉

    A great video Peter. You are so right, your garden is absolutely beautiful in it's winter dress. I am amazed at all the snow or frost crystals on all the branches. I have never seen that before. We sometimes get a small accumulation of snow on the branches and if it rains then freezes, the branches are encased in crystal clear ice. That is really beautiful when the sun is shining. We actually had the tail end of an arctic blast and some very cold weather hear this week along with a few snow flurries. Temperature was down to 17 degrees F. for a couple of nights and tonight and tomorrow night it will be 26 F. That only happens once in a while and is unusually cold for this part of south Louisiana Am amazed that you can actually use the sled in your backyard and don't have to go looking for a hill. Love to see all the birds at the feeders with all the snow. Also enjoyed you hike. So nice that you are able to do that. Love the dog, he really appears to like the snow. Well, both of you take care and stay warm. Tony

    • @tommyandpeter
      @tommyandpeter  6 месяцев назад

      Thank you, Tony! The frost crystals are called soft rime ice or hoar frost in English - there are minor differences in how they develop. You need some moisture in the air and low temperatures for it to appear. It can be really beautiful. We also get freezing rain sometimes, but that is very different and also dangerous for traffic.
      So interesting that the arctic air can get so far south in North America. Here there are various mountain ranges in the way, so it's more mellow.

  • @stpaley
    @stpaley 6 месяцев назад

    yes here in tennessee we had snow earlier this week too, i was visiting my dad and it was app. 6 in (about 14 cm) but when i drove back home around 60 miles south there was only a trace of snow but my yard did look snowy but it was a layer of ice covering it but it was definitely colder than normal

    • @tommyandpeter
      @tommyandpeter  6 месяцев назад

      The cold air can get quite far south in North America because there are no mountains in the way like here in Europe. It's more mellow here when there is artic air coming.

    With nurturing all that gardening it seems like having a dog would be a good fit for you guys. Chickens too but then you would have to be there every day. We are short of snow this year in upper central US. Don’t even have that much yet. Should have 16cm at least.

    • @tommyandpeter
      @tommyandpeter  6 месяцев назад

      Like you said, we would have to be at the country house almost every day and that is not possible. Also, it would be quite difficult to travel. So, for now no animals... Hopefully you'll get more snow 😉❄️

    Is that adorable dog a homeless one? Poor thing. Begging to be petted and perhaps fed.
    I know what you are going to answer but you could adopt him.😊
    Peter you are always putting my nerves to the test with those heights. 😮 History lesson appreciated.

      Hi Liliana, thank you 😊 Glad you enjoyed the video! I knew you all would like the view down from the lookout tower 😁
      Guys, no need to worry about the dog. His owners take care of him, he is not sad or anything. He just likes to explore neighboring properties, so sometimes he comes for a visit. In a while he is gone again. He is not hungry or cold. It's an outdoor dog and enjoys being outside, he seems to like playing in the snow 😊

    Will the starlings attack you when you try to harvest the cherry tree (stealing from their territory)?

    • @tommyandpeter
      @tommyandpeter  3 дня назад

      That would certainly be interesting, but probably not what would happen 😁 But for now no tests of this, because this year there were no cherries at all - all the blooms were destroyed by late spring frost.

    Birds don't need to be fed in winter in Europe actually. They can find food by themselves.
    But of course it's nice to see them come and eat seeds from the feeders !

    • @tommyandpeter
      @tommyandpeter  6 месяцев назад +1

      That's probably true everywhere, not just in Europe, otherwise birds would have gone extinct a long time ago :)
      But there are always losses, so we try to help them so that more of them survive until spring. Especially when there's a lot of snow because then it's harder for them to find seeds and fruits. Plus, we feel like the environment isn't as diverse as it used to be in the past, a lot of gardens are sterile, so we're trying to balance things out 😊
