  • Sugarwood is still going through a lot of home and garden renovations and will be for a long time to come, but here is an update on the new kitchen windows, the porch renovation, tree work and garden updates. We still have a long way to go to get this old gal to where we envision her, but we are certainly on our way!
    I found our solar lantern at Tractor Supply, but when I looked online, I do not see ours in black. Here is one that is similar and it comes in a two pack.

    Glad to see Willow running and greeting the workers. He has got to love all the company. Your property is absolutely beautiful. Love seeing it from up high. It all looks so manicured, yes I know your still working on it but it still looks so neat and clean. Even your home inside always looks so clean and organized and your in the middle of construction.

    Linda you always bring a smile to my face and make my heart lighter. I love what you're doing to Sugarwood and right now in the gardens. Peonies are my favorite flower and I love seeing them in the garden and in vases in your fabulous kitchen. Thank you for sharing your home and life with me. I look forward to seeing you every Sunday. I hope Willow is back to 100%.

    Hello Linda, glad to see Willow doing better. She has been in my prayers.
    Talk about noisy
    After living here for five years, there is a house being built across the street from me. Friday I was on my last nerve. 18 wheelers with loads of mud cutting through the side of my yard bulldozers tractors dust mud. My screen porch is my sanctuary, well not anymore, it is dusty with mud. We had a hard rain so it is dusty mud right now. I know what we mean. I loved the peonies trip, I stopped this morning after mass and purchased some peonies flowers. Thank you everything is really coming along.

    Oh, there she is! Good Queen Bess.....I adore her! I am so happy Willow is doing well. Everyone who has a pet understands and wishes her well. Wow, your construction team sounds so great and I could use a good crew! You are such a hard worker, Linda, and no matter what, you just take it on! Speaking of bears, we had a mother black bear and 3 babies visit us the other day. They came to the front door and Mama Bear was as tall as our railing on our entranceway which is probably almost 4 feet. Cathy Hermanson xxoo

    Poor Willow! It’s always so frightening when our pets get sick. I’m so glad he’s on the mend. I love your idea of the bee wallpaper in the kitchen!! And I think you would love it too as it goes with the garden scenes you get to see from your kitchen windows. And, of course, your gardens are spectacular. I’m an avid gardener too so I appreciate the work and time devoted to having them look that good. Greetings from Georgia! 🥰

    I absolutely love your channel & am always anxious for your next episode. Love seeing Willow, glad she’s on the mend. I am from & live in the south, Tennessee to be exact. I love old things, my husband always said I’m an old soul caught in the present. You show how we can live in both worlds & make them beautiful & comforting. I have several pieces that once belonged to great grandmothers, grandmothers & mother. They are not valuable antiques but I love having them because when I look @ them, they help me remember those I have loved & lost. I also love collecting old things, I always wonder what the stories are behind these things. You give great advice & “how to’s”. You have such beautiful gardens. Thank you for sharing. I’m definitely a kindred spirit. ❤

    As always, you inspire us in all you do. For me in particular, you working in small segments of time getting things accomplished even if not finished, shows me how much I could get done if I would do the same. Everything is so beautiful at Sugarwood and watching its progression is relaxing and rewarding. Happy Anniversary to you and Ben! So happy to see Willow getting well. Thank you Linda for sharing your blessed life with us.

    So glad to see Willow’s tail high & flying as she runs about. Pancreatitis is normal fun. My Boxer girl had it once but as soon as she missed a meal off to the vet we went. Dolly Dog loved her butters and when she didn’t eat or bounce about I knew my girl was not right. Willow is lucky to have been watched & loved.

    Just a quick tip, I have raised bed garden boxes that sit on a gravel base. I am so busy with my garden plants and flower beds that I try to limit any weeding I can. I use a burn torch to hit the weeds in my gravel bed. The weeds die back and never set seeds. At the end of my garden season, I went in and weeded the roots out of the plants I burned. Every year, my weed issue gets less and less. This works for me.

    "Sawring..." is that a New England pronunciation? I love that our great country has regional gems. I so enjoy savoring your videos, Linda. Thank you from the Midwest!

    • @newenglandfineliving
      @newenglandfineliving  Год назад

      It sure is for some New Englanders. The New England accent is a bit different in different regions and states, but unmistakable as a New Englander.

    • @newenglandfineliving
      @newenglandfineliving  Год назад

      It's funny, I just Googled how it's pronounced in other areas and after watching several videos, in the UK and parts of the US it is pronounced with an R sound in it. Makes sense since New England has a lot of similar English sounding words.
