    Colette you never cease to amaze me. I give you credit in that I am always finding little ways to incorporate nature in my landscape.
    I have been in constant touch with my friends in NorthCarolina and Florida. Many in NorthCarolina are helping one another due to no obvious roads. They know the area. Many have no water damage. Rather lack of ways for vehicles to get to them. Local people are walking to those areas and taking account of how many people (live and unlive), locations and what they need. Florida is similar except they need to deal with alligators (😬). What is needed the most is water, food, Internet access (Elon took care of this) and assessable roads. Those hit the hardest have moved in with other people. No matter what, Mother Nature will do what needs to be done. We humans must listen.

    Colette, I always wonder about all of your lawn/garden statues. I would love it if you showed us all of them one-by-one and tell us of their origins! I have found statuary to be very expensive here in the States. I wish I had more, but I always need to REALLY want it if I'm going to lay out the funds. But you have such an nice, wide selection. I'd love to hear their stories. :)

    Good Monday morning, Colette. I think it's so magical when you go round foraging your land, either for food or a bouquet. So often I dream I am there walking the paths, with the smell of the woodland, and birdsong all around me. You truly have made a heaven here on earth.

And I'm inspired to get outside and dig in my plants, rake leaves, feed the birds, etc. it is still very hot here in Texas, but I am looking forward to cool weather for sure!

    Happy happy Monday Colette and thank you for this wonderful video. Such a lovely insight into your life and interests, and is so inspiring, as always. I was out walking yesterday and collected some really beautiful seed heads and grasses and now have them displayed. I love their delicate, unpretentious beauty. Also, it looks like a bumper year for ivy flowers, which I adore and will have in jugs indoors over winter, leaving plenty for the wildlife of course. Your earrings display idea is going to change my life and save me so much wasted time and stress you would not believe 😂 You really do look well and full of energy at the moment, your juice fast is clearly working! Keep up the good work, blessings to you and Patsy 🍂💚🍁

These will be great to watch during the long winter evenings. Blessings to you and Patsy. Take care. ❤

    Hi Colette, first, I would like to thank you for the name of the shrub at your front door. I will be on the hunt for a few of them next spring to plant in my garden. I love the use of the marmalade crock to display your holly; it's lovely. Your earrings display is very clever and cute. I was thinking, and maybe you know already; that you could make garden fencing by weaving the tender shots of the bamboo. You look marvelous in that colored sweater, did you make it? OK, I better get a move on. Have a great week. Jersey Ann from NJ in USA

    Hello Collette. I have missed not seeing all your videos lately, and this one popped up on my feed this morning, reminding me how much I enjoy them. I must go back and watch those that I’ve not seen yet. You particularly lifted my spirits today, because I found out Friday that I tested positive for a rare and
    debilitating disease called amyloidosis. I’ve been tested for so many different things this year with no answers for a multitude of symptoms but was totally caught off guard by this diagnosis. Thank you for sharing your lovely cottage and lands and all the wonderful activities you and Patsy get up to. Blessings to you always. 🩷

Mine are all ones that God and Mother Nature planted except for one Hemlock I saved. I collect DVS, mostly classics like Emma, but I read all sorts of murder mysteries. Yes, I could do without TV, but hubby cannot. Enjoy the day! ~ Diane

    I know I've said this countless times before but there is something about you that just instantly makes me feel comforted to hear your voice. It's as if you remind me that we are all in this together, you're getting up each day and carrying on and I am too but much more than that. I get comfort, inspiration and the drive to make life beautiful for myself and my family in a world that is anything but at the moment. I relate so much to your love of Mother Earth and animals and I cannot thank you enough for being a constant presence of light in our lives. Know that in return we would gladly comfort and be a strong presence in your life should you ever need any of us and I'm sure I can say that on behalf of myself and all your thousands of viewers all over the world. You lady are very special and loved! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for who you are and the videos you gift to us.

    Yes, I'm another lazy wretch who loves to watch you and other 'Tubers work (Noemi on 'Scandish Home' (in Oregon) and Johanna on 'Johanna's Dream Home' (in Romania) are two of my other favourites!!) I also have Bamboo growing, which I love, but it is VERY tall and in about 8 large clumps. It's great to watch and to listen to, as the winds sough through and the stems crash and creak!! When younger and I had more energy, I would regularly harvest it for the fire :) Also love your earrings and other jewellery - a friend once remarked to me that my own displayed collections were like my own bedroom Art Gallery :) Was good to see your marmalade stone jar as I also have a similar Armavale one, holding my pens here by the PC - except originally from Blackcurrant Jam and I found it in a local Op Shop (thrift store?) I have most of your lovely books already, but intend getting another for Xmas! Love Ricki, Down Under xox 🤩😍😻

    Love your earring collection. You can wear a new pair every day and rotate the collection.❤❤❤

    I would imagine the bamboo would make terrific garden stakes. We had some holly trees and they were real buggers to work around. What a bargain those dvds are. I like your earring display idea.

    Colette, you have beautiful eyes. Play them up.😊I am excited to hear about your new direction and its avenues. I'm also interested in hearing your talks on various topics. Also, you may already know that if you cut out or way back on sugary carbs and any starchy foods you, and of course move more like you are doing, the weight will drop off more quickly. And sounds like you've noticed already you will feel remarkably better. Also waiting a bit longer before you start eating in the morning. And drinking some warm lemon juice in water soon after you awake in the morning. I have personally done these things at 72 and I feel like a million bucks!

    Love that you share the pictures from patreon. ❤❤
    We've had some below freezing temps overnight already, plus we're so dry. My plan for this afternoon is to water my plants and then start putting some old hay around them to protect them from the cold and the drought. Hubby put a new hay bale in the sheep and goat pen and took out the old remnants with his Bobcat. He snapped a couple of pictures of our Border Collie sitting in the driver's seat. She's an enthusiastic Farmhand, lol. Gotta enjoy the last of the warm weather while we've got it!
    I used to really enjoy watching BBC programming on our PBS channels. I loved that guy on Midsummer Murders. Also liked All Creatures Great and Small, the Brit Coms- Keeping Up Appearances, Doc Martin, and As Time Goes By, and was hooked on Ballykissangel and upset when they killed off Quigley. Poldark was my last favorite Masterpiece Theater and haven't watched since. So many good shows, but now I watch RUclips instead.

    I love Midsomer Murders too. I watched them on RUclips and was entertained all last winter.

    The huge water containers - I guess to get in 8 glasses of water a day - or whatever they recommend now 😄 You are looking very stylish while you are working - love those earrings & scarf (believe that is one that you made). Those may be the largest, prettiest holly berries - I've ever seen♥ Love getting treasure bargains at the thrift stores!! Enjoy!!

    I enjoy watching while I sit on my bum, but then again I spend most of my time in a wheelchair of late. 😂 Still, it motivates me to get outside when I can and do something useful.

    Oh my gosh, I feel the same way about murder mysteries. I love them especially on a cold winter evening 😁❤️

    I love seeing real people doing "real work", it's so encouraging. It irritates me enormously to see people with lovely yards but who never do any of the work to take care of it. Someone else is hired to do all that awful manual labor. And then to see these same people going off to the Y or gym to get some exercise and paying for it to boot! Well, duh!
    Yesterday and today I've been busy moving and spreading the last of one pile of topsoil in order to make room for compost that I bought. I do make my own compost, but only come out with one large garbage can about 30 gallons---kitchen waste combined with shredded leaves. Takes almost a year but it is nice to have around. I have lots of flower beds and my compost just doesn't go far enough so I decided this year to just buy a load (two yards) of compost to top them up a bit. So we will see if that makes a difference.

    Beautiful vlog. Our holly has lots of berries. Hope they last until nearer to Christmas.
