    Hi Nikky! oh.... so much going on in todays video. First, that outfit is super cute!😀 The intro of the video was so stunning, and all of that greenery. The fence turned out quite nice for your mom. You sure do work hard. I love the mosquito net you created, it works! The rocks will help steady it. You're so smart. I also chuckled when you said I don't know what its called in the states, , oh its mosquito net 😀 Our countries are quite similar it seems. Your place is so beautiful. I envy it so much. Enjoy your time when the storms come inside and maybe do some painting or candles. Oh the music you played throughout the video was beautiful. I always have my closed captions on so I can hear better, and was listening to the words of that slow song. My cat was up at the tv, when you had your cat in your lap. I shot some pictures, we couldn't believe she did that, she was standing trying to grab at the screen! Cats are so intelligent, then when you were chopping the wood, she never took her eyes off the tv. SO CUTE. Today it got to 90 degrees, quite hot and I worked alot around my house, and now I am very tired, lol..so we put the air conditoning on, but summer is finally here for us too! See you next week. ♥

      Thank you! I love trying on new outfits, but I always get them so dirty quickly. Sometimes I'm looking for words in English and it so obvious 😂 I hope I'm getting better at it. Thank you, I love to hear that you think it's beautiful! It means a lot. Wow, thats so funny with the cat, I love that! Cats are such funny animals. 90 degrees is very hot, I understand you are tired now. The heat sometimes does that, when its so hot. See you next week! ❤️

    I love how joyful pasture animals are on their first move to fresh grass in the spring. Great idea to put the mosquito netting and the couch there. The animals will get probably get used to it quickly.

      Oh, it's amazing! I love watching the nearby farmers putting the cows and sheep in the field in springtime as well, it's so beautiful to see! ❤️

    Hi Nikki, what we do in the southern part of US to help keep the flies and mosquitoes out is to have a screen door. That way on cool days we can open our doors and keep the mosquitoes and flies out. Maybe next year you can put one of those on your door. Looks great. Hugs from Texas! Glad I found you!

    • @nikkydegraaf

    Just doing some catching up now that I found your channel. The mosquito netting is very bohemian. I love it. Maybe next year you might want to add a cover to your veranda. That way you can enjoy a rainy sun rise instead of watching it from your window. Well, you’ll figure it out. Life is a journey, not a destination.

    • @nikkydegraaf

      Thank you! Yes, that's a great idea, I will probably do something like that next year. Thank you for your kind words, it means a lot!

    I really enjoy your “tiny house” videos. I’m surprised there are so many trees on your property. I know that the Netherlands was reclaimed from the sea so I thought that most of the trees were planted. Yours don’t appear that way because they are not planted in a row. ☺️ keep the videos coming.

    • @nikkydegraaf
      @nikkydegraaf  5 месяцев назад

      Thank you! Ah, yes, I love all the trees. Most of the trees on the property are quick growing trees, that have been growing for some years now. They appear as young trees all around the property and in some places we just let them grow. It keeps it very natural and turns it into a small forest. Thank you so much for your comment, my next video will go live tomorrow, it's one I'm very proud of, I hope you will check it out ❤️
