- It got down to 31 last night but it's supposed to get up to 65 today so I thought I would do a little walk before we get to doing a lot of cleaning up.
Have a wonderful, blessed week😘
So many leaves 🍁 so much work , little by little , you and John are a great team 💕soon your yard will be full of so many flowers 🌺 have a blessed week 🙏❤️🙏
@@juliafeliciano5372 Thanks so much Julia. Yes we will get it done. We do some each day😊. Love and blessings my friend.❤️❤️❤️
Hello to my dear friends Jean and John! Well yes you do have alot of Leaves. Take your time getting them up and don't over do it. Thank you for sharing your yard with us. So until next time God Bless you and John and have a Blessed evening and stay safe my dear and Special Friends. ❤❤❤
Thanks so much Joan. You are so right, a lot of leaves, but that's part of gardening😊. Love and blessings to you and Bud❤️❤️❤️
Hi Jean, I look forward to seeing the spring transformation ❤ I have some many areas in our yard to work on too😳
Thanks so much Dusti. It will all be worth the work. It will just take time. I just looked at the long range forecast and next week I’m afraid we have a chance of snow on quite a few days. I’m praying that won’t happen. I’m praying for Lenny. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
@ thank you so much for your prayers for him❤️ is that normal for y’all to have so much snow?
@ You’re welcome. No last year we didn’t get any snow at all. Year before we got 18 inches😒. Most winters we just don’t get much thank goodness.
@@jeane561 goodness😳
Hi Jean ❤ John is such a good sport 😊 Thank you for showing your back yard tour. What a crazy cold season for your garden! I am so looking forward to spring and how we are blessed with gardening 😊 So thankful to have just the right amount of space to grow what I enjoy and see how it all turns out this year. I still would like to see what you are starting with in the front yard too ❤ You're right it's the time of life to just take what energy we have for any task large or small. Looking forward to see the blooms that will come your way this spring & summer 😊 Sending sunshine & blessings your way to you, John & Baby Boy ❤
Sharyn I’m so glad you liked the backyard tour. I’ll be sure to do a front yard one soon. It is a blessing to be able to be outside and garden. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
My daffodils are coming up already. I'm excited! I had the window open this morning drinking my coffee... it's so pretty today! Enjoy your day! ❤
Yes a few of our daffodils are just starting to peep through the dirt. A sign that Spring is coming Suzanne😊. Have a wonderful week. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
I’m so excited that it is finally garden season once again! I love seeing beautiful gardens come back to life each year. So much work ahead. The weather has been rough lately. I Can’t wait to see how your garden will turn out when it is all finished this Spring. Looking forward to the journey ahead.
@@hercollectionofdreams521 Thanks so much Sheila. Hope you’re doing well. Spring is always busy but beautiful. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
Your yard is always so beautiful. Yard work is hard work, but well worth the beauty it brings! My husband would love John's work shop!
@@yolandamarshall872 Thanks so much Yolanda. You definitely get your exercise with yard work. I’m ready for Spring flowers😊. John and his Dad built the garage the first year we lived here and John has spent many hours in there. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
Jean..I will pray you through this and you do the same for me come April. I’m that far behind you in yard chores. Here in Michigan we are still in full blown winter expecting freezing rain today and snow after that. The yard isn’t workable until at least the middle of April for me. So while you are making trips to the various garden centers I’m just beginning to find my gardens. Stay safe and don’t over expect of yourselves. We love our hobbies and at our age we have to pace ourselves. Thanks for sharing your plight, makes me feel as I’m not alone in Gardening for geriatrics😉. I get the most exercise in the Spring and summer which means not only do I have cleanup chores but I have to work at getting back into gardening shape as well. Looking forward to our next visit and thinking yard sales must be just around the corner for you too. Good things coming…Good things!!!:):):)
It sounds like a good plan Vicki. It's so nice to know we're in this together! We got almost 4 bags of leaves up yesterday😊. Take care. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
You and John sure have been busy! Before long your gardens will be lush green and full of flowers. Happy Friday 🤎🤎🤎
@@melaniethompson6353 Thanks so much Melanie. I’m looking forward to Spring flowers but we have a chance of snow next week🥺. Happy Friday. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
A little bit at a time, that’s the best way. I’m over in Yorkshire and it’s just too wet and boggy to start just yet. Thanks for sharing 💖
Thanks so much Meesh. Yes we’ll do some each day and it will all get done😊. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
I know it is a lot of work but it will be worth when all those beautiful flowers and trees are in bloom ❤❤❤
@@auntiepennylane1958 Yes you are so right Penny. Looking forward to it. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
These sunny days, give me spring fever.
Thanks so much Mike. It does me too. I’m going to enjoy these warmer days before the cold comes back. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
Can't wait for blooming season but I'm oddly enjoying this season too 😊. You and John make a great team always getting everything done ❤❤❤
Thanks so much Michelle. We really appreciate it! Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
Lots of leaves but it will be magical in spring due to your hard work! If we lived in Virginia, I'd send my husband over to help you take. He liyves yardwork, me, not so much. Love you both! Have a weekend doing something fun amidst all your work. ❤🎉😊
@@jillclark6076 Thanks so much Jill. So sweet of you❤️. Raking leaves isn’t my favorite thing to do but I love how it looks when it’s all cleaned up. It’s been raining a lot this past week so we’ve not been able to get outside and now they’re calling for snow and ice this week😒. I’ve been working in the basement , family room and craft room trying to get things better organized. Happy Sunday. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
Oh my those leaves just won’t stop! You’ve been raking for months now it seems. I bet you’re ready for spring! ❤️🌱🌼
Jo Ann You're so right about the leaves, it's been a long season, but Spring is right around the corner! Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
Oh Jean I’m definitely ready to get outside. I’m counting the days till Spring. ♥️
@@isaacsrustywagon Yes we’re looking forward to Spring. They’re calling for some snow or wintry mix next week😒. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
Jean, you have a mountain of leaves to move!! Don’t over work yourself and John. We are in the 80’s this week. In our area we watch the pecan tree when it buds spring is here. It is always right. Looking forward to more yard tours especially your Japanese Maple trees. Have a blessed week.
Thanks so much Ann for the encouragement! We will just do some each day. I look forward to the Japanese Maples too. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
Hi friend,
We had high40's the past couple of day, but i know were expecting more snow.
Im always inspired by you garden, thank you for sharing your spring garden. Have a blessed week friend.
@@mylittlecoloradocottage Thanks so much Vicki. Our weather has just been up and down since Christmas. We have a chance of snow next week on several days and I’m praying we don’t get it. Enjoy your day. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
Your garden and yards look just like every one else’s after that horrible winter weather. I’ve been working over week and finally seeing some progress. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Thank you Anthony. It’s been a long hard winter for sure but things will start to spring up soon. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
I feel for you both with all of those leaves 🍁 I live in western Massachusetts and my season for things to come up is around late may, early April. I have quite a bit of snow still and we will be getting a few more big storms coming starting tomorrow morning ❄️ I look forward to seeing your garden when it starts coming up I’m interested in seeing what the Helebores look like. I have planted many different varieties of daffodil and I love peonies. I just got interested in planting day lilies a couple of years ago so that’s nice to see when the garden states to wind down. Have a wonderful day ☺️🌸
@@dellahayden5606 Thanks so much Della. We’ve only got 7 bags of leaves up so far because it’s been raining a lot and now they’re calling for snow and ice this coming week. So I don’t know when we’ll be able to get back outside🥺 We are looking forward to Spring . Have a good day. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
You have a lot of work ahead to do. Before you know it will be beautiful again. Love and blessings to you three. 😊
@@garlandedwards1749 Thanks so much Garland. We got quite a bit done yesterday and plan on the same today. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
We still have snow covered ground. I wish I could get out and do something in my garden. I heard the blue jays in the background singing. They are heralding Spring in your garden. I love my Helebores and I always cut back all the dead leaves in spring and they make new ones and flower too. You do have a lot of leaves to take care of. Take it slow Jean and John, don't over do it and get injured. 4:29 I love the white wire baskets you have they are so pretty.
@@katethegardener Thanks so much Kate. We have a chance of snow next week and today got up to 69 and tonight is 34. Crazy weather😊. We work on the yard some each day and sooner or later it will get done. I love those wire baskets too. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
Oak leaves, great compost material❤
Yes they would be but we don’t have a compost pile anymore😊. We ground up some of the leaves in the fall. We have to get the leaves up now so they don’t smother new plants. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
Your strom door puts me to shame. So sparkling clean and beautiful after all that rain. How do you do keep up? You and John are amazing. It rained here in Southern California for one day, and my windows look like a hurricane hit . But that's just fine, because I too am of an age where what I want done and what I can do aren't always the same. Don't work too hard dear lady. Best wishes to John and Baby Boy.
Thanks so much Sharon. It’s for sure we just have to pace ourselves 😊. My storm door wasn’t as clean as it looked. All my windows are so dirty from the rain we had too. Take care my friend. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
Hello Jean & John!! It is not easy taking care of a yard that is the size of yours. Raking takes a while too. Our yard is harder to take care of compared to the yard we use to have before moving here to the cottage. I consider all the yard work I do, my workout - LOL!!! I don't need to join a gym - that's for sure. I get a workout in the yard. LOL!! That is why you and John are so fit. - Sending you both love and blessings!
@@frauhollecottage Thanks so much Calypso. Yes working in a yard is great exercise. I’d rather do that than go to a gym😊. Enjoy your Tuesday. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
We have oak trees also and some leaves are still on the trees! Seems like the acorns are never ending as well. It takes a bit, so take your time and take breaks.
@@NinaPeery yes we still have some leaves on one of them in the front😊. The acorns are already taking root in the damp ground and are hard to get up. We just do some each day. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
Looks like you're going to have your work cut out for you cleaning up the yard. I know it's going to be beautiful though when you're finished. I can't wait to see all of the beautiful flowers this spring and summer
@@pattydenton8373 Thanks so much Patty. A lot of work for sure but it will be worth it. I’m so ready for Spring. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
Hello Jean. You and John have your work cut out for you. Wish i could transport myself over there to help you. Just think in a few months time it will look like a completely different place⚘️🌷🌾 love hearing the birdies ❤
Thanks so much. We appreciate it. It will be worth all the work. We have loads of birds😊. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
Yes, please take care doing all this clean up. I can't imagine all the work. I pray someone will come along and help you. do you have a Church family to help? Please do be afraid to ask for help, i would help in a heartbeat. All i have to deal with here in AZ is weeds in all the rocks. May God bless and keep you💗💓💕
Thanks so much Melanie. We’re very careful in cleaning up outside. It’s good exercise we tell ourselves😊. It’s hard to get someone in the back to get up the leaves because of all the flower pots and things to clean around. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
@@jeane561 I get that Jean, I tell myself the same. Im glad to know you are being very careful. That makes sense about getting help, most people want to come in, fast and furious, with nothing in their way. Love and God bless you and John 💕
Well, your way ahead of us here in Canada you got a big yard to do so better start early. I guess love always.❤
You're right Brooke , gotta get started early since it’s going to take time to do it. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Jean. I know what you mean. As we get older we must slow down. Maybe you can use the blower in a low setting to make pile of leaves.❤
Gloria You're so right about slowing down! We use the blower and the rakes😊. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
Just do a little bit at a time, thanks for sharing
Thanks so much Nino and Lo for the great advice! That is the plan. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
Loving the warm day today. Ready for spring…but I am afraid it is too early in the year. We will probably have more cold weather too. Albuquerque NM
I hear you Vicki. It’s amazing what Mother Nature throws our way. I know more cold weather will come but I love having a few warmer days here and there. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
I’m sure you all enjoyed the fresh air and being outside but looks like you’ve got quite the task. I pray God gives you strength. I don’t think John enjoys being on camera. 😁 Stay well
Karen You're right, the garden is a lot of work, but it will be worth it. John is hard of hearing and probably didn’t even hear what I said. 😊. I think he also was thinking about all we have to do. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
That looks like quite a lot of work, I down sized my flower bed and pots dramatically last year. I have a bad back and it’s really hard to keep up with it all now
@@angelanapier4248 Thanks so much Angela. So sorry about your back. I’m going to try to not plant as much this year because it’s especially hard to take care of it once it’s gets hot. Happy Sunday. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
I AM your age.....I would be looking for a gardener LOL. You two are amazing.
@@DeannaMoyers Thanks so much Deanna. It’s our exercise plan😊. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
That's aLOTTTTTTTT of work
Please both of you take it carefully and slowly
@@anitzaburgos7859 Thank you Anitza. It is a lot of work and we’ll be careful. We just do some each day. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
I am older too so when I have great big jobs to do I tell myself ," How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time!"
@@barbarasimmons7637 Yes that sounds like a good plan Barbara. We just have to pace ourselves. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
Jean, why don't you and John get someone to help you? Baby Boy needs to get out there and help you, too.😹 Be careful and take care.❤
@@irenetovar7756 Thanks Irene. No one wants to clean around all the pots and garden ornaments in the yard. It’s good exercise for us as long as we take our time. Baby boy just supervises and likes to sit in the piles of leaves😊. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
Yes mam you certainly have your work cut out for you.
Thanks so much for watching Sharon and you are so right! This is going to be a lot of work but worth it. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
Im tired just thinking about all the cleanup.😀🫣. But oh it will be so pretty.
@@tennesseegrannydebbie3384 Thanks so much Debbie. Yes I’m looking forward to Spring blooms and pretty new growth on everything. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
