- This was an extra busy week in and around Sugarwood, our 1790 home in New England's countryside, but I made sure to make time for a few simple pleasures between errands to enjoy life and a few stolen moments of fresh air, fun, and fine living.

You have worked so hard on your gardens and house and it is really paying off! Beautiful!
Found your channel a couple weeks ago. I have been catching up watching past shows while on the treadmill prior to work. Typically I can become bored on the treadmill but your episodes make the time fly by!!! I haven't been to the New England states sinces I was a very little girl (about 50 years ago) so I am enjoying the beauty of the homes and sites you have been sharing. Thank you!!! ❤
Oh so loved this video! Things are looking so accomplished and finished. I love that feeling! Going to love the archway you’re creating-I want to do that. You’re such an inspiration for making a beautiful life on the property. I love doing and being outside also. The music is so relaxing on this one also. Thank you so much for taking us through this wonderland you’re creating.❤
I agree. You said it so well for all of us!
I agree. You said it so well for all of us!
Hi Linda, I loved your intro, very-very nice. 👌 You’ve been busy. Your wall is looking amazing, you are so talented. The garden 🪴 is gorgeous, wow, what a great video, thx for inspiring us every week. Happy Memorial Day weekend! ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
You are amazing with color and textures. Beautiful ❤
Good for Ben getting the log splitter. It will save money and hard work. It looks like a fun piece of machinery. So cute that Willow takes toys outside. 💕 Everything inside and out is lovely. The wicker is so special. Can't wait to see the fabrics used and the new windows!
Thank you for this wonderful jam packed vlog! One of my simple pleasures of the week! I get a coffee, and watch. I watch again later in the week as well. 😍
Love how you bring us along for so many side trips and loving how Willow gets to come along.
A gardener I have followed online for around 7 years in the last two years has begun using cardboard layered on the soil with mulch covering it as a weed suppressor. It has worked for her (them) and she has expanded it’s use over their large property.
It wouldn’t hold up in the wind…
LOVE Garden Answer! 🥰
Thanks for including us in your thought processes and little excursions out and about. It’s good to wear a mask when sanding old paint, as they commonly contained toxic lead. Had to laugh at the sushi “Avocado Roll.” Here in Los Angeles those are known as “California Roll.”
Hi! California Rolls here have a bunch of other things, but I'm not sure what's in it. I will have to look closer.
The quality of your videos are superb. A wide variety of interesting topics.💜
🌿🌿Great video, Linda. Wonderful assortment of topics. 🌸💕🌿
So many questions to ask you. Love your videos. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
A hose link works wonderfully
Regards Emma Gush from South Africa.
Loved the drive around the neighborhood. It’s so beautiful where you live. Love from Sunny California ☀️❤️
Always so happy to spend the day with you. Your flower beds are beautiful.
I have wooden benches that need painting. Bob already stripped a little with a heat gun. Maybe tomorrow I will do it in the morning. Your garden is pretty!
We have an old electric log splitter that I love. It's not large, but does really big logs. We've only 3 acres, but being on the sea we get plenty of wind and we can't keep up with the amount of fallen trees we get in the woodland or along the shore. It's fun to use, isn't it!
Your Grandparents wicker is gorgeous!
Ocean wind and mountain wind! So hard to keep up with!
Your home & property is looking beautiful
I love splitting wood! I find it therapeutic/cathartic. 😁
My husband and I celebrated our sixty second anniversary on June third so congratulations on your anniversary pat from canada
I don’t know how you can get all of this work done. And it is all such a beautiful garden.
Everything is so beautiful! I learned from a RUclipsr that when making hummingbird food to heat one cup sugar with only one cup of the water then add the other three cups of cold water from the fridge……instantly cooled hummingbird food. I now do it this way every year. I love your channel. 🌺🌸🌹🪴🌿
That's a really good idea vs waiting!
Thank you for the lettuce tip, I didn't know that, and this afternoon, I stayed away from the crown!
I'm so happy you decided to use the strapping instead of the wallpaper for the bottom half of the wall. It really shows off the Tally-ho but gives the formality of wanescotting for the tavern.
We love how everything is just looking so magical! I hope you are enjoying (mostly) every moment at Sugarwood. You and Ben are wonderful Stewart's, and both of you are making your marks in the legacy of every property.
Love what you decided to do with the walls. Will look stunning and authentic when painted!
You are one busy lady
Your garden is looking soooo beautiful! Also your golf game & dinner sounded like a great time.
You work so hard and your home is looking beautiful!
Thank you for taking us with you on your adventures!
Before your video starts I know that I will love it , ♥️😍😊
AGAIN, Ive said it before and ill say it again...your house and gardens are so warm and inviting. I absolutely am in awe! i loved the arboretum tour. it was lovely!
Hi Linda, the house and gardens are looking great. Wall paper for board and batten. I love both. I’m proud of you for making the change. Do what makes You happy!!❤
I work in Colonial Williamsburg…I have a feeling the house that you watched the video about may have been the Nelson-Galt House…it is one of my favorite houses in the historic town!
Yes! That’s it!
I can't believe all that you have accomplished. Your home and garden are beautiful!
So nice to see your week and all the progress being made at your Sugarwood. Enjoyed the change in your Tavern, you were so right! ❤ from Georgia!
I loved to see all the interesting and encouraging projects and adventures you have each day. My favorite channel.
Personally I love light and would never close off or reduce the size of a window. The window you are replaceinglast appears to have waves glass. Sometimes people pay extra for waves glass. I ❤ your choses and decorating . Fun to watch.!
You threw the shoes and then whoops ,another pair..........made me laugh, so natural. Can’t wait to see more.
I did cut out my cursing at it because one shoe fell out of a chair on the second toss lol
I’m very glad someone spoke up about that wallpaper. I love the other treatment by far the best for Sugarwood!
Love being outside in your gardens, they keep getting better and better. I hope you will show those wicker chairs in the garden room. Thanks for the video.
You work so hard in your gardens and house. Everything is so beautiful. I enjoy your videos so much. Sugarwood is just so awesome.
Thank you for your inspiration
You are so welcome!
Lovely Linda!! Your gardens are coming along nicely!! And it's great to fit some fun into your life!! Even the hummingbirds get their nectar:)
You are so thoughtful, I love how you explain everything. Btw, a string of clear lights on wood arch would look lovely.
I have some tiny solar ones I might try. Not sure how long they are though. I bought them last year and need to find them lol
I absolutely love your garden and home. How I wish I had your energy. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. I have noticed that you do not have anything spiritual in your home or your garden. would love to see a garden angel.
My garden angel got broke in my previous move. Time for another
I love to watch the great progress on your home and garden. They both look beautiful! Your golf evening looked like lots of fun!
This video was truely a Sunday jewel...your hard work is really paying off.....everything is beautiful.😊
Thank you!
Love the black on the wicker, love the lattice idea also. Your yard is heaven, thx for sharing. It is so lovely to watch your creativity.
I bought a solar fountain like that last summer. It was nice while it lasted. The birds did enjoy it. It stopped working after a few months. I probably will buy another one. 😊
Where did you buy it?
@@cathymorse1801 Amazon
I LOVE the fabrics you chose for the window seats!! 😊ALSO, the pillow fabrics!! Such fun to shop with you!!
I ❤ the instruction on how to harvest lettuce! I will always remember to leave the crown! 👑 😊
I'm so glad you found it helpful!
Sugarwood happier with the faux wood wallpaper removal…😂 Thank you for sharing work and play in your week with us…you seem to keep a nice balance…it helps to see that. Enjoyed !
I just want to say how much I enjoy the way you present your videos…It is like reading a book 📕…Thanks for sharing…..
I love your content … I got a little envious of your day fabric shopping. I remember when I had a project going and spending the day in the car going from shop to shop to find just the right one. Devine. Now I don’t have a licence and my world is so small. I have to watch people like you to enjoy what my life used to be. Thank you I enjoy all your work in the house or the garden. Best wishes from Sydney, Australia ☺️🇦🇺🙏🏼🍷🐨
Just loved this video. The wicker chairs looked so good. The wood splitter was a wise purchase. Glad to see you adding in leisure time along with all the work you do. The wall is going go to look amazing and can’t wait to see the new windows. 😊
Appreciate your efforts. I live in SoCal and we have nothing like this in my area. I get the feeling I'd love living there but so not use to all that seasonal snow although it is very beautiful!
Linda, another video of yours I so enjoyed! Your garden is absolutely beautiful… just like you my friend!
Oh, be still my heart! I got a glimpse of Good Queen Bess! I adore her so much and the fabrics you are doing on the benches will be so perfect! I also love blue and violet flowers. That is what I am planting this year. I am not crazy about purple in a house, but I love God's beautiful purple. We lost so many plants in December and January. Gardens can be tricky.....beautiful and a pain, too.
Linda, I so enjoy your videos and you are such a busy bee with perfect taste in your garden and your home. Send some of your energy my way, please, and kiss Willow for me. Also, thank you for taking us on your trips here and there. It gives me ideas for traveling and viewing beautiful New England!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣"Off With Their Heads". You are amazing. The Board and Batten wall is going to look fantastic. Only the best for such an old deserving home.
Ohhh how I love watching your videos on Sunday mornings with my coffee, Thank you so much Linda for bringing me so much inspiration 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
If you come to midcoast Maine, I'd love to take you to the Botanical Gardens and then to a cozy restaurant on the water here by my house on Southport Island! PS - I had one of those fountain plates and ended up not using it because when it was sunny it would spit the water out over the side of the birdbath and it would be dry in no time, and they tell you not to run it when there's no water... I loved the idea, but not the babysitting of it!
This is my favorite channel, I get so excited when I see a new video.
Loved the variety in this video! So many pretty things to look at!
Me & my partner have our home & antique shop in cape neddick Maine on the market , retiring & moving to Williamsburg va
Good luck with your move! Very exciting!
Your gardens are very pretty and your home is beautiful! Xo
Oh my gorgeous... I feel like my soul should be there in the New England area. My ancestors were there from what I understand. My family are "Saylor ". I had actually noticed a book in your library with that name.
Linda, would you kindly edit a nice long video starring Willow? My miniature is crushing on her bad. Whenever Papi hears your voice he comes running hopeful to get a glimpse of Willow. Maybe a video of Willow enjoying your homes, the grounds, walks, playtime, etc. It would be much appreciated. ❤
Linda, I love your home, gardens, woods and surrounding quaint places… all that you do is amazing! Sugarwood is Enchanting! Thank for the beautiful videos you posts.… ❤ 🪴 🌿 🌸
You have ever more diverse projects you are working on, simultaneously.🤗 It's wonderful to see all of the work you've already accomplished, and other projects coming to fruition.🌞 The home and, grounds are looking gorgeous. I find you so inspirational, Linda... As busy as you are, I'm glad you give yourself some downtime, with your husband, and/or on excursions, that have you out and about. I think your week must have more than 168 hours in it.🪴💐💚👏
Great video Linda, your garden is looking lovely, I’m looking forward to seeing your peonies in full bloom. The video you made a while ago of the glorious peonies you displayed in your home, I loved, I watch that video a lot because they looked phenomenal. I think the board & batten will look so good when painted & more in keeping. 😊
I also loved the Schumacher video of the house in Williamsburg. It was a fantastic video. I had no idea that some of those houses were actually lived in full time.
I’m glad that I’m not the only one whom loves to make hummingbird nectar. My next is a birdbath. Love the wicker chairs. I could see you enjoying a cup of tea in those amazing wicker chairs. Thanks for the inspiration.
What an excellent show! Took away a lot of great inspirations ❤❤❤ Thank you
I loved you comment about baby birds. I have a large bush has died in the very front of my home which has died. But it will be ugly until fall. I have a nest of roadrunners. And the babies are too sweet to disturb!
I love your videos I get so much peace and relaxation , I can’t wait till your post more, you got me working on my new garden thank you❤️
We have that same splitter for almost one year now.
It is amazing!! We also had downed trees. The log splitter made quick work of all of it.
I completely recommend this splitter to anyone in the market for one. We have not had one problem with it.
Love your home and gardens. Would love to sit and admire our gardens and soak in the beauty of your flowers. How.lucky are you two to have Ben's grandparents wicker chairs. Perfect choice of colors for your gardens. It must be pure joy to wake up each morning at Sugarwood! So enchanting!❤
I have a wicker chair almost identical to yours, but smaller, newer and not a rocker. Perfect for my very small bedroom. My little bit of research shows me this style has been made at least since the early 1930s. Mine also needs refurbishing. Thank you for showing me how! Your rockers look beautiful!
The chairs came out great!
I love The House on the Side of the Road!!
Your channel is lovely. This will be my new go to!! Tip for the hummingbird nectar - you don’t have to boil water, just get your tap water really hot and add to your sugar, and stir til clear. I make a gallon at a time and store the extra in the fridge.🌻🌻🌻
I fix my old wicker with a piece of rubber-coated clothesline that I cut to fit, or to wrap around ...then I wrap it in craft raffia that comes in bundles twisted tightly like wicker. I super glue it, paint it...looks great. Another idea would buy a thrifted cheap wicker style basket, cut piece you need and super glue it to fix hole area. You could paint it before gluing it.
Thank you for sharing your lovely home. That’s so kind of you to think of the bird family near the window, I would do the same!
I learn so much from your videos and always enjoy entering your world. Happy Memorial Day
I loved the video Linda. So happy the windows are being delivered this week 👍🏻😊🪟
Thank you!
Linda, I enjoyed spending this week with you. I find your posts very relaxing, perhaps because u r doing all the work.
Your home and gardens are beautiful and inspiring.
The gardens have changed so much, in the best way. You know how to create beautiful homes. The birdbaths that are tulip shaped make the best water fountains. I do not use the pedestal. The bowl has a flat bottom and can easily be placed on a wall or table. ❤
i cant wait to see your garden in bloom ! just beautiful
Your gardens are amazing. I found while starting to plan flower beds, and vegetable gardens, that my whole property is nothing but two inches of soil, on top of rocks the size of my head! No top soil and no hope of EVER having anything planted in the ground. I am beyond devastated. Everything has to go in raised beds and pots. I can not even have a simple hydrangea, or spring bulbs. So next spring I’m going to turn the front yard into a stone courtyard with hug pots for my bushes, and the back into raised beds and gravel. Than as soon as I can I’m going to move.
Love the arch. It looks wonderful. Linda you are amazing.
Lily of the Valley - What a delight. I have never seen. (from California)
Hi Linda! My husband and I just finished watching your latest video. The mention of the log splitter adventure caught his attention! We bought the same splitter and Ed- (my husband)- absolutely LOVES it! We got a load of large logs and within two weeks, he's breezed through almost all of it- by himself! Ed suggested that I message you and suggest to Ben that he purchase the accompanying " log catcher" table. It bolts on to the splitter, it's pre- drilled and and comes with all of the bolts needed. The table pays for itself after the first use and his back will certainly thank him! The cost $69.95. Thank you for your wonderful videos and hugs to sweet Willow! ❤️
Thank you so much I will mention that to him for sure! We were also told there was another splitter head that cuts into fourths. That would be nice too for the larger logs.
Omg your garden and everything is looking so good,cute fountain .Good idea for the hose 👍
What a full week of work mixed with fun. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for showing the Acton and the arboretum. I so miss New England springtime and the architecture of the old towns. Happily, I’m headed to Yarmouth, ME in a few days so I can get my fix of lovely little towns, great seafood and a walk in the woods of Maine and restore my balance.
Loved the ana😂logy of crown heads 9n lettuce that's a way I can remember it! Sugarwood is lookijg wonderful.
Linda, don't plant yo u r wisteria close to your home . Very invasive. Love your videos. God bless. From the bootheel of Missouri
I picked a bouquet of lily of the valley, yesterday at our cabin. My favorite flower!! And, I have a Redbud in my yard (eastern) and I found out you can make jelly from the blossoms. I made some and it is delicious!
Beautiful gardens! I have a little solar fountain like that...3 years and it's still working.
Love the fabric choice for you benches...and the wicker chairs, I'm obsessed with them!!! Love the history of 3 generations having had those.
I do love watching your videos makes me homesick for New England but also gives me ideas for
here in the south and my garden . Thank you. Good to see your garden after your fire, everything is looking so refreshed. Your big ideas and views of Surgarwood are coming to light. Thank you for always taking us along. Love hearing why you are doing something. It does help. Have a good Memorial Day and i look forward to the next visit to Surgarwood. Be well and safe.
Thanks for all the rides
I so appreciate it so much
New England is tge best
Such a fun video. Your garden are looking wonderful.❤
Good morning beautiful lady & happy puppy dog! Thank you & best💐🐕
