Oh Brooke, I have to take a nap, you wore me out. You do so much in a day, cooking and gardening, decorating and the like. Just want to say thanks for all you do for us. You sure brighten our days.
Haha! Made me laugh too Joan😂. To be honest Brooke , it’s afternoon here down in sunny Spain and I’m just relaxing a little bit after some radiotherapy earlier on today, snd as Joan said I feel worn out watching you today ! I’m a bit the same though, once I start “fiddling” I just don’t know when to stop either. Nor can I stand mess, so you know how it is. You just kept going till it’s as you think you want it, for that moment . I guess also in Canada, the wintery weather can come in quite quickly. Have a bit of a rest tomorrow. Pace yourself! Best wishes, Lorna x
Not only does your food look delicious, you can cook one handed! Watching your videos is like visiting with a friend. I always look forward to a new one.
Hi Brooke, I'm amazed at all the prep you do for the seasons, here in Melbourne Australia we don't decorate for the seasons or not to the extent you do there, personally I change my decor around twice a year, Spring and Winter and Christmas Spring is just a really good Spring clean, change the curtains cushions and add a few spring decorations the same for winter, I do put a lot of effort in to Christmas decorating and it's an effort as I'm 78 years old and lost my husband 7 years ago he was wonderful and loved Christmas and gave me such a help, it's not the same for me now but I still do as much as I can, I'm a thrifter too and have many beautiful things from the Goodwill shops, so don't push yourself too much Brooke look after yourself .
I am like you too! Really the only one I decorate for is Christmas! I will be 77 Thursday … so I have even started … and I clean along the way! I start early as it takes me longer too get it done … I leave it up till March! As I love all the lights … comforts me … my husband moved Heaven three years ago … so I to am alone and I decorate for me because I love it! 😁 And as you said … Spring good time clean anyway! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🌎🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
You DID do a lot! Anyone with a garden knows how much work it takes to maintain. I so love China Dolls but I was never able to keep one alive. Probably didn't have enough humidity or something, but they're a beautiful plant. Another impressive video! xxo
Thank you so much! It’s a labour of love. I guess don’t know about the treehouse one. It does take a little more energy than I it should because it’s in containers and it keeps me housebound and that’s the part. I’m not liking I didn’t go anywhere all summer and now I’m trying to play ketchup running around going here and there I like doing weekend getaways so we’ll see what it next spring🌺🍂
Since geraniums are are perennials and houseplants…i just trim mine back a bit and bring then in the house and sit them in front of a sunny window and they bloom and grow all year round. Keeping then trimmed is the secret to then staying healthy and full…and plenty of light
Yeah, my sister does that too. I just don’t have room in my house so I put them to bed and bring them back out in the spring. There’s never an issue with it though if you have lots of space it’s good. I just don’t have it the big spider plant the big birds of paradise and the elephant is big enough for me to overwinter
Brooke, you tuckered me out just watching you. Now dinner looked amazing, but I’m interested in that carrot cake. Mmmm, they are so good! Thanks for the update on Laurie. Tell her we are wishing her a speedy recovery. Loves.
Once again I’m propping my feet up after watching you do so much work….EXHAUSTED!!!! I wish I was your neighbor cause I would sure be knocking on your door for some goodies!!! 😊 Love from NC Brooke!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I am so glad that Lorie is doing well. Your desserts are always looking so good. Such a good idea to make them and freeze them until you need or want them. You always work so hard. I do too when I can. Hope that you have a wonderful evening.❤
You got so much done Brooke. It just takes time. All the goodies you made look so good. I used to bake a lot but don’t do it much anymore unless we’re having company. Your plants inside are looking so good. Love and blessings 🧡💛
You amaze me. You really do. All of the gardening, cooking, baking, thrifting and decorating you do. And then you find time to take care of yourself too. The nails look fabulous. I love the crows in the tree. Enjoyed the video very much.
Hi friend ! BUsy busy as always , a woman's work is never done ! I love carrot and cheese cake and Meatloaf , haha. Get some rest and relax .. take care Paula
You are a wealth of inspiration and information ! I appreciate your cooking 🧑🍳/baking skills. I just adore your design skill’s. And you have quite the green 🌿 thumb as well ! Thank you for sharing 💚 I appreciate your videos so much 🎉
No, he doesn’t like to share too much very selfish man oh Laurie‘s been great since today she has just had day surgery on her toe and she was out and about in a day or two
I just told my girlfriend Rose I wanted to KitchenAid. Did you see the new one? It’s black with a wood bowl I’m all over that one if KitchenAid wants to Collab with me, I’d be more than happy lol I got a lot of offers but just not things I want believe in maybe too.
@@mamabrooke My fingers are crossed for you ! Black with a wood bowl sounds decor perfect . I finally got my first a few years ago after years of burning out my hand mixers , it’s a game changer . ❤️
Gosh Brooke, I've said this before. You work your butt off. I used to work like that. I have slowed down the past few years. I'm 71, and, I smoked for 30 years and now have COPD. I wish I had never picked a cigarette up. Love to watch you work though. Lol ❤😂❤
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it and yes that’s horrible. I smoked before too but luckily I never got that thank goodness but I know a lot of people who have you know it was in vogue in the 70s and 80s. What can we say? I’m very happy I don’t smoke now.
You’re so funny … made me laugh … pretty hand’s and toes … then you show us your toes! Lol I love manicures and pedicures too! Yummy desserts you’re making! Blessings! 🧡🍁🧡🍂🧡🍊🍂🧡🧡🫶🏻🫶🏻
Hi Brooke. Thanks for sharing. You sure keep busy girl! I overwinter my geraniums too. Some are 4 years old. I just pull mine, shake off the dirt, give ‘em a little trim and put them in a box. Im surprised more people dont do it because the plants get bigger every year and to buy them that big is soooo expensive (at least $30 US ea.) so saving them is so worth the little effort.
I’m totally surprised more people don’t do it either. They’re not necessarily my favourite flower but they became one of my favourites because of the longevity and how sturdy they are $30 a pot. I’m not into it anymore. Thanks for sharing.🍂🌺🌺🌺
Morning Brooke 👑 🐝 I would like a slice of everything please. Looks all so delicious 😋 The crows look so real in the tree. 🐦⬛ Have a great day 🏡✨️🍂🧡🦇🧡🍂

What? That it doesn't look like you did alot? Of course you did. That was a total marathon 🏃 🏃 🏃....I was getting tired just watching you, lol. Your like the Energizer Bunny 🐰 on steroids, lol. Wow, that was alot of work. I would have taken 5 naps after all you did! God blessed you with unlimited energy.🙏❤😂😂😂 The baking came out so perfect. It looked so yummy. 😋 N the meatloaf too! I also put Worcestershire sauce in my meatloaf n soy sauce instead of salt. Hope you took a nice break after all if that. Your a very hard worker. 💪❤❤❤😊
Thank you so much, my friend. Thank you for watching. I’m laughing at your comment telling me you’re taking a nap after watching me. I’ve been like this my whole life the last three days I’ve been actually in my bed because of my face but nothing to do with my energy level, but I’m back at it today. I’m cleaning the treehouse terrace off 100% and then got a few things to do downstairs, gonna go meet Maggie my subscriber tomorrow looking forward to it🩷🩷🍂
@mamabrooke Well, although the reason why you were in bed 🛌 is unfortunate. I am glad you got a break and rested. I can tell nothing gets in your way, that is why I think 🤔 all your viewers find you to be an inspiration. Don't let anything hold you down. Take the rest needed n move forward is your message. Same as my thought process. You might not know it but, your helping alot of people get through things. You Tube is a platform just like regular TV 📺 to send either good messages or bad. N yours my new friend is all good. 😘🫂 🤗 ❤️❤️❤️
Well, I truly appreciate all your positivity. I love that you’re a beautiful person. Thank you for being part of my platform means a lot to me. Have a beautiful day, my friend.
MY COLOUS IS 4 yr old. I have 5 bigger than a bushel basket!! In Kansas. Over 100° in summer. I have a couple of old pitchers that I stick in the dirt to help with heat. Poke a holes, Fill with water, great for small Drip. You could do the same for watering while you are gone!!!
Oh, down below I can go away for 3ot 4 days ,..up top. They need water 2 to 3 times a day because it’s usually about 120 throughout the day and they’re in the smaller baskets. I’d have to have extremely large baskets which I can’t have because it’s a roof and that’s not healthy for the roof down below so there’s a challenge there. I have to watch the weight.
I think because we have four seasons and a heavy frost every year we don’t have the creeping Jenny being invasive if anything it’s hard to get it to come back
Good morning. Girl, you work! You inspired me! Funny story, I saved my geraniums last year in a brown paper bag and didn’t label it. I threw it away in spring because I forgot what it was! Senior moment. That’s ok, I like the color of this years geranium more than last year. I’ll save that and label the bag!
Hallo Brooke Nice to se you.Your garden looks Nice for the winter. Its a lot of work to take care of the garden.The cakes look really good.Always looking forward to your videos.Have one amazing day.😊❤❤
Good morning. I see you are busy. Enjoying your videos and sending love and good wishes. Thank you for all your recipes and garden ideas. So much to do for these holiday seasons especially cleaning up the garden, make sure you get rest busy lady.
Try putting the paper bag in a big contractor trash bag tied with a rope to gradually lower down? Doesn’t have to be big rope, clothesline type or whatever. That way you can save you back and your stairs. 🤷🏻♀️ For your indoor plants you can either get those pretty glass bulbs to keep them watered or even make some with 2 liter drinking bottles and a straw. That way they stay watered while you’re gone and not over watered too. I’m like you, do a little as things get spent. Plus I have a vegetable garden. 6 very big beds but vegetables are so expensive these days so this way I can or freeze things and have all winter. But it’s exhausting. The crows look awesome! Had to say Brooke your spider plant is gorgeous! And I know it’s heavy! The China doll is so neat! I think I want one😂 You did awesome! ❤
@@mamabrooke Oh my gosh Brooke 🤦🏻♀️ Wish I could help my fellow garden lover!! Oh I know you’ll get it done, no question! You definitely have a slice of heaven there for sure when it’s all in it’s glory!
Oh my you are so like me, if no one’s around to help I’m doing it anyway, lol. Watch your back that’s a heavy load to carry upstairs 😳. Wow geraniums are hardy, thanks for the trick of wintering them. Love you❤️
Good morning! Yeah, I’m very busy. I took the other day off and went up north for a couple days going back up for Thanksgiving the 14th this year of October🌸🍂🌺
You are amazing! I think you are the most magical ,creative ,and hard working Pretty Princess ever. How long does it take you to fall asleep at night and do you sleep for more than two hours? Seriously....🧚
Thank you so much! most nights it takes about 15 minutes to fall asleep and I sleep straight through usually 6 to 6 1/2 hours. I have no trouble with sleeping because I do so much through the day my body needs the rest sometimes I can sleep 7 1/2 hours.
Good afternoon Brooke! Loved your video. Made me smile when you said it felt cooler today and 22 degrees, that's warm for Britain. Your cakes and cheesecake looked delicious - Canadian and American measuring by cup size makes much more sense to me rather than weighing. See you again 🍁🍂🍁
Good Afternoon Brooke, I’m just coming back in from cleaning out my front flower bed. I’m completing outside tasks before the hurricane enters Florida. I wish I had your energy. You are so well versed in gardening, decorating and cooking. I’ve learned so much from you and look forward to all your updates. I’m planning to use your recipe to make a carrot cake. Thanks for sharing.
Always a pleasure to watch you garden and make cheesecake! Carrot cake looks amazing❤❤❤Yes give Lori my love and prayers. I havent made meatloaf in ages! looks tempting!!!
Good morning Queen Bee I mean “Busy Bee”. I got tired watching you…. Your baking looks yummy., you inspired me to get cracking and make some things also and freeze them. I went to the Rogers value Village the other day….Thought I might see you thrifting away … lol I saw at Dollarama for five bucks a skeleton around 4 feet tall … I use a couple of them every year to hang around the tree also.
My darling you are one amazing person ! You always accomplish so much and wow us all. Glad to hear that Laurie is doing well , she is blessed to have you in her life. Btw I was so happy to see a video from you today , always stop what I'm doing to watch you . Hugs , Andrea
I had no idea how to store the geraniums for the winter. I am for sure gonna try your method, thanks!! The carrot cake looks yummy, have you tried zuccini cake, another yummy
Gosh, what a full-on video. Why is packing down such a hot mess ? 😂. It's definitely not my favourite job but one that needs doing. Think that's my plan for the weekend 😢. Dinner looked yummy, as did the cakes you made. Thanks for sharing your day with us. Hugs from Leicester England xx
Ever feel to just shut the treehouse door till next spring? I don't expect it would be much of a video though.🤪 I tend to do that, the plants fight less when they're dead. Glad to hear Lori is on the mend. I feel for China Doll. Bob's getting so much attention, he's getting a big head with no time for anyone else. Maybe if she was in bloom he'd be interested. lol
Lol Bob, is my pride and joy the China doll well she’s getting awfully big two for her bridges😂🤣😂🤣🤣 I like to start fresh in the spring with everything clean. It’s just who I am.
@@mamabrooke Too big for her britches.lol Bob is obviously not a leg man.😄 Your energy is enviable. It's no easy task lugging those heavy pots around. I am taking the time to rescue the geraniums though. They are magical as you said.
Good morning mama Brooke….. greetings from my side of the world ….. you inspire me to get moving and do things around the house even if is small projects….. little at a time….. what is it that you add to your soil that is in the planters …..in the balcony garden….. hope Laurie did well with her surgery….. peace
Oh my you so remind me of myself. If no one is around to help im doing it myself 🙄🙄watch your back that was a heavy plant to carry upstairs. Wow geraniums are hardy plants, thank you for the wintering tip❤️
Thank you very much. I am thanks for telling your girlfriend one day. My hospice will be big. I’m in no hurry for that. Trust me because that’ll be come work😂🤣 I’m actually very happy with my shade garden. I really don’t want it too much bigger just filling in a couple bald spots and I think I’m good.
Lot’s of hard work baking, transitioning with clean up from one season to another! Now, it’s time to relax a little and catch your breath before a new project. It’s fun but is time consuming.
Brooke, nice spending time viewing the show.. Reminds me of fall with my mom: cleaning, cooking and kids decorating. How long and what temp for the cheese cake? Happy Fall.
No, I give them to the conservatory downtown. The Mapleleaf Garden one doesn’t go outside. I’m gonna try the one that’s in the ground in the garden to over Winter. Let’s see what happens. The other three are going to the conservatory.
Hey Brooke, deserts looks good! Yeah I'm going to cut back on planting to, getting to be too much. I love your tennis bracelets, interested to know if you got them for different life achievements like the reasons I bought mines, Loves!
Thank you! You too! No, I didn’t get them from achievements. I got them from a gentleman I used to date. I actually have a fourth one, but it needs repaired. He lavished me with gifts.
Well I am worn-out just watching !! Do you pull up your hosts or cut to the ground? I leave nearly everything to see if it will come back( with fingers crossed) . We are getting much needed rain, but still so humid . You are a real motivator for me!!! I enjoy all of your videos.
I have a great easy, healthier sweet for you. Take a box of chocolate cake mix or spice cake and add a whole can of pumpkin. No eggs or oil. Combine and I add 1 cup or so of chocolate chips and mix. I make cupcakes or mini muffins Bake at 350 for 15-25 min til set shorter time for the mini muffins. They freeze beautifully also. Hope you try it. I love that you freeze a lot of things like I do.
Oh Brooke, I have to take a nap, you wore me out. You do so much in a day, cooking and gardening, decorating and the like. Just want to say thanks for all you do for us. You sure brighten our days.
Thank you! You too! 🤣😂😂😂
Haha! Made me laugh too Joan😂. To be honest Brooke , it’s afternoon here down in sunny Spain and I’m just relaxing a little bit after some radiotherapy earlier on today, snd as Joan said I feel worn out watching you today !
I’m a bit the same though, once I start “fiddling” I just don’t know when to stop either.
Nor can I stand mess, so you know how it is. You just kept going till it’s as you think you want it, for that moment .
I guess also in Canada, the wintery weather can come in quite quickly.
Have a bit of a rest tomorrow.
Pace yourself!

Well, we have totally different weather so we have a true four seasons pretty soon. It’s gonna be just raining all the time and then it’ll be Snow.
Well, I’m glad you’re still enjoy doing that that’s a big one and you’re right. It takes a lot to put up so you might as well enjoy it.
Love the ravens. 😍
Thank you me too

Same as my thought process. You might not know it but, your helping alot of people get through things. You Tube is a platform just like regular TV 📺 to send either good messages or bad. N yours my new friend is all good. 😘🫂 🤗 ❤️❤️❤️
Well, I truly appreciate all your positivity. I love that you’re a beautiful person. Thank you for being part of my platform means a lot to me. Have a beautiful day, my friend.
@mamabrooke Thank you. The pleasure is mine. Love your videos. Your a natural. 🙌🫶

MY COLOUS IS 4 yr old. I have 5 bigger than a bushel basket!! In Kansas. Over 100° in summer. I have a couple of old pitchers that I stick in the dirt to help with heat. Poke a holes, Fill with water, great for small Drip.
You could do the same for watering while you are gone!!!
Oh, down below I can go away for 3ot 4 days ,..up top. They need water 2 to 3 times a day because it’s usually about 120 throughout the day and they’re in the smaller baskets. I’d have to have extremely large baskets which I can’t have because it’s a roof and that’s not healthy for the roof down below so there’s a challenge there. I have to watch the weight.
Love, love, love the crows! Your porch looks so nice! Thanks for sharing your geranium trick. I will try it.
You are so welcome!
Your baked goods look delicious! Be careful whem planting creeping jenny in your garden. It can become very invaisive.
I think because we have four seasons and a heavy frost every year we don’t have the creeping Jenny being invasive if anything it’s hard to get it to come back
Good morning! Waking up & getting ready for work listening to your video. ☕️😊
You're the best!
Good Morning Brook! You wear me out just watching you work your gardens! Thanks for sharing your life with us.
You are so welcome!🤗
Good morning. Girl, you work! You inspired me! Funny story, I saved my geraniums last year in a brown paper bag and didn’t label it. I threw it away in spring because I forgot what it was! Senior moment. That’s ok, I like the color of this years geranium more than last year. I’ll save that and label the bag!
🤣😂😂😂 I can see it happening
Hallo Brooke Nice to se you.Your garden looks Nice for the winter. Its a lot of work to take care of the garden.The cakes look really good.Always looking forward to your videos.Have one amazing day.😊❤❤
Thank you so much!☺️
I say the same thing!! “which I had another set of hands” lol You are amazing girl!! Great job every year on the garden clean up.
Thank you! You too!
You certainly did get a lot done baking looks so good 😊. My favorite is the crow tree
Thanks so much
Good morning. I see you are busy. Enjoying your videos and sending love and good wishes. Thank you for all your recipes and garden ideas. So much to do for these holiday seasons especially cleaning up the garden, make sure you get rest busy lady.
Oh, I will get some rest, but thank you very much for watching. I truly appreciate it.
Wow you did alot lady Brooke! You are an inspiration love your videos ❤
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your kindness
Wow! I wish I had your energy! Enjoyed your video, I always do! Thank you.
Thanks very much. I really appreciate it.
Best wishes for Lori. You're energy is remarkable!
Oh, she’s out galavanting around already she’s fine
I always think of carrot cake in the Fall. So good. You absolutely did a lot of work today. And cooked that delicious looking dinner!
Oh thanks so very much. I don’t mind the baking. If I have everything on hand, I’m not a great baker. I’m a better cook.
Try putting the paper bag in a big contractor trash bag tied with a rope to gradually lower down? Doesn’t have to be big rope, clothesline type or whatever. That way you can save you back and your stairs. 🤷🏻♀️
For your indoor plants you can either get those pretty glass bulbs to keep them watered or even make some with 2 liter drinking bottles and a straw. That way they stay watered while you’re gone and not over watered too.
I’m like you, do a little as things get spent. Plus I have a vegetable garden. 6 very big beds but vegetables are so expensive these days so this way I can or freeze things and have all winter. But it’s exhausting. The crows look awesome!
Had to say Brooke your spider plant is gorgeous! And I know it’s heavy!
The China doll is so neat! I think I want one😂
You did awesome! ❤
Oh, you’re not seeing there’s another 20 foot I roof on the other side of the railing there 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 it’s OK I’ll get it done. I always do.❤️❤️
@@mamabrooke Oh my gosh Brooke 🤦🏻♀️ Wish I could help my fellow garden lover!! Oh I know you’ll get it done, no question! You definitely have a slice of heaven there for sure when it’s all in it’s glory!
GM Mamma Brooke, don't force Bob to make new friends cause he likes his own space 😂❤❤
😂🤣🤣🤣 I know I’m a little crazy
Oh my you are so like me, if no one’s around to help I’m doing it anyway, lol. Watch your back that’s a heavy load to carry upstairs 😳. Wow geraniums are hardy, thanks for the trick of wintering them. Love you❤️
Thanks for watching and all your time.❤️❤️❤️
Love your Vlogs ❤ Your a Busy, busy lady !!!!! I'm ready for a nap, after all that work 😂😅😂😅. Til next time❤
Good morning! Yeah, I’m very busy. I took the other day off and went up north for a couple days going back up for Thanksgiving the 14th this year of October🌸🍂🌺
Oh, hoping Lori a smooth recovery. ❤🙏😊
She out running the streets already lol 😝
You did the work of 10 people today..
That’s just me. I’ve been this way my whole life but thank you. I appreciate it.🩷🩷🩷🩷
Oh that cheesecake looks sooo good. Well, everything you make looks amazing lol Always nice to see what you're up to
Thanks, my friend. Appreciate your time as🦢🍂🌺
You are amazing! I think you are the most magical ,creative ,and hard working Pretty Princess ever. How long does it take you to fall asleep at night and do you sleep for more than two hours? Seriously....🧚
Thank you so much! most nights it takes about 15 minutes to fall asleep and I sleep straight through usually 6 to 6 1/2 hours. I have no trouble with sleeping because I do so much through the day my body needs the rest sometimes I can sleep 7 1/2 hours.
Love to watch your one-person meals. Always gives me ideas. Never thought about Lipton soup mix in meatloaf. I'll try it.
Oh, it makes the best hamburgers too with the Lipton soup mix. Hope you enjoy.
Good afternoon Brooke! Loved your video. Made me smile when you said it felt cooler today and 22 degrees, that's warm for Britain. Your cakes and cheesecake looked delicious - Canadian and American measuring by cup size makes much more sense to me rather than weighing. See you again 🍁🍂🍁
Thank you! You too! ❤️🩷🧡
Good Afternoon Brooke,
I’m just coming back in from cleaning out my front flower bed. I’m completing outside tasks before the hurricane enters Florida.
I wish I had your energy. You are so well versed in gardening, decorating and cooking. I’ve learned so much from you and look forward to all your updates.
I’m planning to use your recipe to make a carrot cake. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful! Oh, feeling a little worn out today🍂🍂🌺🦢 are the carrot cakes so good make cream cheese icing
Well my friend you got your work our for the month. Love the crow tree. All the goodies looked so yummy. Enjoy your coffee love as always.😂😮😊
Thanks so much
You have so much done in cleaning up your gardens….you have more energy than I do…wow…good for you….
I try🌸🍃🍂
Always a pleasure to watch you garden and make cheesecake! Carrot cake looks amazing❤❤❤Yes give Lori my love and prayers. I havent made meatloaf in ages! looks tempting!!!
Thank you, I will She’s doing good. She was out and about today.
Good morning Queen Bee I mean “Busy Bee”. I got tired watching you…. Your baking looks yummy., you inspired me to get cracking and make some things also and freeze them.
I went to the Rogers value Village the other day….Thought I might see you thrifting away … lol
I saw at Dollarama for five bucks a skeleton around 4 feet tall … I use a couple of them every year to hang around the tree also.
🤗 thanks for watching.
Meatloaf looks delicious. Definitely going to try your carrot cake....slurp!
Hope you enjoy family favourite
My darling you are one amazing person ! You always accomplish so much and wow us all.
Glad to hear that Laurie is doing well , she is blessed to have you in her life.
Btw I was so happy to see a video from you today , always stop what I'm doing to watch you .
Hugs ,
Andrea
Thanks for watching yeah Laurie‘s good. She’s out shopping today. She had her stitches out yesterday so just a two week layup I guess.
Loves always ❤❤❤❤
Same to you 🍂🦢
I had no idea how to store the geraniums for the winter. I am for sure gonna try your method, thanks!! The carrot cake looks yummy, have you tried zuccini cake, another yummy
Glad it was helpful!
Gosh, what a full-on video. Why is packing down such a hot mess ? 😂. It's definitely not my favourite job but one that needs doing. Think that's my plan for the weekend 😢.
Dinner looked yummy, as did the cakes you made.
Thanks for sharing your day with us.
Hugs from Leicester England xx
Thanks for watching!🩷🍂🌸🌺
Bob's been pretty moody lately....LOL.
Bob’s always been moody. It’s always all about him for five years now he thrives if he gets his own way if he doesn’t, it’s not good.
@@mamabrooke I love this comment 1000x ❤️🇨🇦
Ever feel to just shut the treehouse door till next spring? I don't expect it would be much of a video though.🤪 I tend to do that, the plants fight less when they're dead.
Glad to hear Lori is on the mend.
I feel for China Doll. Bob's getting so much attention, he's getting a big head with no time for anyone else. Maybe if she was in bloom he'd be interested. lol
Lol Bob, is my pride and joy the China doll well she’s getting awfully big two for her bridges😂🤣😂🤣🤣 I like to start fresh in the spring with everything clean. It’s just who I am.
@@mamabrooke Too big for her britches.lol Bob is obviously not a leg man.😄
Your energy is enviable. It's no easy task lugging those heavy pots around. I am taking the time to rescue the geraniums though. They are magical as you said.
I love meat loaf with ketchup on top, I really just love ketchup.😊
I don’t need a lot of ketchup, but I like it on french fries and meatloaf. I think that’s it.
Cool to make your own desert.
Indeed! I don’t really eat anything from processor premade I did my best to eat healthy
I love Meatloaf! You make me want to make it. You are my hero doing all that you do!
Thank you so very much. I truly appreciate it.🍂🦢
Good morning Brooke have a blessed day 🪴💖
Same to you 🌺🍃🌸
🎚️🇺🇸yes like other lady's comment ..watching your show is like " visiting with a dear friend"..💚🌞🦋🌵from West Texas
Wow, thank you that means a lot to me thanks, Karen
@@mamabrooke welcome
Good morning Brooke ! Your cakes look delish ! Great to have on hand for my coffee group ! Thank you❤
Good morning! Yeah, my cousin loves when I take her a few up and wherever I go, I take one I took Laurie one over to her too
Thank you for the recipes, I usually don't bake much but I'm going to try these once the weather breaks here in Virginia. Loves!
Glad you like them!
Good morning mama Brooke….. greetings from my side of the world ….. you inspire me to get moving and do things around the house even if is small projects….. little at a time….. what is it that you add to your soil that is in the planters …..in the balcony garden….. hope Laurie did well with her surgery….. peace
I just top it up every year with new fresh soil , yes, everything went great as I said she’s fine.
Oh my you so remind me of myself. If no one is around to help im doing it myself 🙄🙄watch your back that was a heavy plant to carry upstairs. Wow geraniums are hardy plants, thank you for the wintering tip❤️
❤️
Thank you very much. I am thanks for telling your girlfriend one day. My hospice will be big. I’m in no hurry for that. Trust me because that’ll be come work😂🤣 I’m actually very happy with my shade garden. I really don’t want it too much bigger just filling in a couple bald spots and I think I’m good.
Lot’s of hard work baking, transitioning with clean up from one season to another! Now, it’s time to relax a little and catch your breath before a new project. It’s fun but is time consuming.
I’m gonna take a couple days but that’s probably all I have. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.
The crow tree is awesome!
Thank you I’d like to fill it. Full lacrosse then it’s just more storage right I did this to myself. I hope you’re well, my friend.
Good morning, Brooke ☀️ 🌸💐 🥰
Good morning! ❤️
Your food looks so yummy.☺️
Thank you 😋
Brooke, nice spending time viewing the show.. Reminds me of fall with my mom: cleaning, cooking and kids decorating. How long and what temp for the cheese cake? Happy Fall.
Love that! Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.🍂
👍
🥰
Meatloaf looked really good
Thanks it was🍂
What do you do with the ferns ? I bought two this year and I’m not a big indoor plant person..just curious what you do with them after fall
Oh, I give my big ones away to the conservatories
Brooke , with your ferns that are outside , what do u do with them in fall n winter ? Just let them die and re buy in the spring ? I love ferns
No, I give them to the conservatory downtown. The Mapleleaf Garden one doesn’t go outside. I’m gonna try the one that’s in the ground in the garden to over Winter. Let’s see what happens. The other three are going to the conservatory.
Love the meatloaf❤
Thank you it was so good
Good morning Brooke!
Good morning! 🌺❤️🍂
Love meatloaf…😋❤️
Me too!!
❤
❤️🍂🌺
Hi mama!!! I Loved your videos❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!!😊
Hey Brooke, deserts looks good! Yeah I'm going to cut back on planting to, getting to be too much. I love your tennis bracelets, interested to know if you got them for different life achievements like the reasons I bought mines, Loves!
Thank you! You too! No, I didn’t get them from achievements. I got them from a gentleman I used to date. I actually have a fourth one, but it needs repaired. He lavished me with gifts.
@@mamabrooke wow, he definitely loved you, way to go Brooke! They're beautiful!
❤😊
Thanks, Cindy
Well I am worn-out just watching !! Do you pull up your hosts or cut to the ground? I leave nearly everything to see if it will come back( with fingers crossed) . We are getting much needed rain, but still so humid . You are a real motivator for me!!! I enjoy all of your videos.
Good morning I cut them at ground level. No, don’t pull them out. You might pull out the root
Hi Brooke. Would it be okay to eat these for breakfast 😊
Yes of course!
Lovely ❣️❣️❣️🦢🐇🌿🪴🥕🥕🥕🍜🥧🥧🥧🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼Love Love Love 🍁❣️
It’s my daughter’s favourite carrot cake. Thanks for watching.
Well, who else besides Brooke would garden after a manicure, not to mention wearing rhinestone bracelets?!
Thank you very much they’re not rhinestones my friend they’re diamonds I’ve never taken them off
I have a great easy, healthier sweet for you. Take a box of chocolate cake mix or spice cake and add a whole can of pumpkin. No eggs or oil. Combine and I add 1 cup or so of chocolate chips and mix. I make cupcakes or mini muffins Bake at 350 for 15-25 min til set shorter time for the mini muffins. They freeze beautifully also. Hope you try it. I love that you freeze a lot of things like I do.
Oh thank you so very much appreciate it. Your gifts were delivered to the.🍂🌺
Cut that cheese cake ❤
Anytime come for coffee
