I think it's great that you have little fluffy helpers assisting your cleaning efforts.
@Mel. They are Kevin's supervisors ! 😸
They are so cut. 🤩🐶🐱
cute

I love how Kevin loves his furry babies. Anyone who loves animals is more than ok by me!
I’ve made several of Kevin’s recipes which have become staples in my life now. I’m definitely going to try the puff pastry bacon roll-ups.
One could see the darkness coming on outside. Thank you, Kevin, for including us in your solar eclipse celebration! 🩷😊🩷

As a Dutchman I can confirm your pronunciation of Gouda is absolutely spot on, Kevin. Love your soothing videos. Cheers.
Thank you! "if you ain't Dutch, you ain't much", they say! """
I' m also Dutch. En ja, Gouda kaas is heerlijk! (Gouda cheese is delicious).
I'm 6 % German. We are basically cousins with the Dutch.❤😊
That was a very unique and special Video.....
I loved all of it....rhe cleaning is allways interesting...shopping too...your flower-arrangements and delicious recepies are a wonderful....you have the magic Touch......and even got the Universe included....
much love from Germany
Thank you. Best video. We drove to TX from NM. We had Totality where we were____words Can’t adequately describe!!! Love your channel___lived overseas awhile-- many European friends and this New Mexican appreciates the correct pronunciation of gouda
I’m so happy you have this channel it’s a little piece of calm and sanity and allows one to take a break from the stress of what’s online.
I agree!
Me too .
Definitely agree!!
YES
We had about 90% of the eclipse here. I could see it through the clouds. The last time, in 2017, I had a party for my kids and neighbors. I bought everyone funny eclipse t shirts, glasses, and had snacks. It is good memory. This time it was just my husband and I. Things change. But the sun, moon and earth are here every day. I enjoy your videos very much!
Thank you Kevin! Always a pleasure to spend time with you friend!! Take care till next time❤
Kevin, you are such a gift. This feels like Mr Rogers for adults, reminding us of how special the little things can be. Thank you for your work ❤️ It feels so healing to watch each installment and spend the day with you.
I admire your approach to housekeeping and especially tackling a deep clean of specific areas a little at a time. The house you live in is very fortunate in deed to have you as its caretaker, preserving it for generations to come. You have created a comfortable and very beautiful home. Your sense of occasion is remarkable! Loved the flowers, appetizers and cocktail for the solar eclipse. Thanks Kevin🙏❤️
How fun it was, Kevin, watching your pets help you clean house. They looked to be as attentive and invested in the project as you were. You
are so kind and sweet to your pets in letting them join you and I think we all applauded and our hearts swelled when you gave Avery a kiss on her sweet nose. I don't think you can hardly imagine how delighted we all are when we get to see your pets up close being perfectly adorable!!! It truly is such a thrill for all of us, Kevin! It wasn't possible to see the eclipse from where I am but it was so wonderful to see it get darker in New York. Sensational photos of the sky during the eclipse where you are. How caring of you to wonder what the wild animals might think of such an event. I wonder too how the animals might respond. You know, Kevin, it's always such a feeling of satisfaction for we, the viewers, when you eat something that you made and then you actually show that you enjoy the taste of it. We often feel that we made it for you, because we made it with you, and are so thrilled that you liked it.
merci de nous tenir compagnie avec toute cette gentillesse et politesse, au plaisir de vous revoir bientot.
You are “TOTALLY “ The Best!! ❤🌞🌚🍸
Adorable dog…..you can always tell a lot about the owner of a loving dog. 😎
You were definitely a busy bee this week😊 Your home is just beautiful and the grounds so peaceful. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us❤
Good afternoon I'm from Russia. I am fascinated by all the videos, I like everything: cooking, cleaning, animals, home, nature, as you tell everything!
@user. 🐻❤
Hi Russia 🇷🇺 🤍💙❤️
Hello from New York...😊
Welcome friend
Hi from Long Island!
Here in the northern Catskills it was overcast as well . But the chickens made a run for the coop. By the time they got there the sky was already becoming brighter again. Confused chickens are a hoot. Thank you so much for all the sunshine you bring into our lives .
It is nice to see locals watching Kevin...I live down in the Hudson Valley.
I wish I could’ve seen that - the chickens running and confused, etc. They’re such entertainment anyway. I was in Utah where not much happened at all, but the northern Catskills sounds like a place I’d love to see. (Eclipse or no eclipse) 😊
We were in the path of the recent eclipse, experiencing 98.3% totality. The eclipse was a big deal for me so I decided to go out onto my deck, lie down on my back, don my glasses and watch. It moved me. I was reminded that the last time I watched with my dad. I thought how vast the universe. How much better this would have been with a pillow. How the heck was I going to get back up? At the moment of deepest emotion a bird pooped on me.
I laughed out loud!!
I love watching your videos. They encourage me to keep my house as well as you keep yours. Thank you.
I love everything about your videos. But my favorite thing is when you include us viewers by setting a place at your table across from you at the end of your videos. Your peaceful elegant lifestyle is something I didn't know I needed.🌹
Loved it when you kissed your dog! Love the cats too. As always beautiful music, beautiful food, beautiful time with you Kevin. Thank you for making every visit special.
My husband and I enjoyed today’s video very much, Kevin. Loved seeing Avery & the kitties especially your orange tabby having fun helping you clean - adorable! You have inspired us, now my husband dabbles at fresh flower arranging. He created a beautiful arrangement for our guests last weekend. I wish I could send you a photo! In any case many thanks for all the enjoyable time you allow us to spend with you. More dog/cat appearances please and we’d love to hear you play the piano again too. ☺🌹
Oh yes, more Kevin at the piano please. It's always so beautiful when he and his friends play. My favorite part is the music, aside from the delicious food and lovely decor of course.
Yes. Please do. We want to see your fur babies. You play piano beautifully. Question…Were you a piano teacher, or history teacher? You know your stuff! I love the way you talk about your house and the things you use to clean your beautiful house. I would be exhausted just looking at the house to clean lol. You make it look so easy. Lol. Love it!!
Just think you are worth 10 people who used to maintain this spectacular home. We always knew you were very special!❤ ⚘️💐
I always enjoy your videos. I feel welcomed into your home and feel you have elevated my life. I live in Texas and was truly surprised that the birds were quiet as the eclipse hit it’s zenith. The clouds were also glorious around the solar eclipse.
I'm in the Texas hill country and we had overcast sky, so didn't see anything. It just got dark and then light again. So sorry to miss it.
@@ednawilliams3608 That's about all we had of the solar eclipse in Florida too.
Today's episode was one of my favorites ❤ You are such a comfort and a great teacher. Thank you 💚🌈✌️💐☕️
It’s cute how both cats tried to attack your cleaning cloths 🤣
Kevin, you inspire me to want to deep-clean my house and replace the bills/papers now on my dining room table with a crisp linen tablecloth and fresh spring flowers! Thank you for that.
Goldie is a big help😊…and Avery is such a support and encouragement….😁❤ and the lovely tabby..😁 - you really have such a wonderful ability to place just enough and not too much on your charcuterie boards…I usually overdo it. 😅
I love watching your videos. So calm and serene ,they help me to escape for a moment the craziness of the world. Your pets are lovely, and thank you for bringing us to the shops to see the wonderful produce and flowers. Take care Kevin and thank you again.
Watching you clean gives me motivation to clean my house. The bacon appetizer looked delicious! Always enjoy watching you. It’s so relaxing and always puts me in a good mood. Thank you for all the work you put into your videos.
Your puff pastry appetizer looked so easy and quite delicious. Seeing you pour all that Vodka and then take a swig made me think how fun it would be to see you tipsy. I think I've got a pretty good idea as to what you'd be like anyway. All that bottled up humour would come pouring out, and you'd have us all in fits of laughter, no doubt.
The flowers at the shop were just gorgeous! Thank you for such serene afternoon.
Your lovely pets enjoy watching you clean the house!!!!😊
Happy Friday, Kevin. My elderly mother loves watching your floral arrangements. She gets her flowers from the local farmer's market in Laos.
We had a wonderful 100 percent epic location of the eclipse in Ohio. Complete pitch black darkness. I held antique heritage silver dollars that belong to my late ancestors, and wore a locket of my late husband’s hair, silver fox. It was beautiful minutes…. Everyone cheered. Some firework’s were set off. Being along, I had a simple meal of shrimp cocktail, cheese and crackers, with champagne. It was a memorable moment in time, which I wrote in my journal. Love your eloquent and gracious videos.💕
Thank you again, Kevin for another beautiful relaxing video. You are one of my favourites on TH-cam. Nicholai Chris and Scooter xx
Can't have an eclipse until Kevin cleans the whole house!!! 😂😂😂
I love the way the animals want to help clean😊😊😂😂
Granular sugar also works perfectly to preserve flower arrangements. We observed the eclipse at 99% in Mi. Our grandkids and their parents got the total view by spending the night in Ohio. Such events are major ones for my family. I watch most all of your entries, Kevin with great appreciation and have saved many of the recipes. Yay!
Love this episode, especially seeing Goldie sleeping on that beautiful chair! I think that wax flowers are Australian like the eucalyptus and should last a long time. We have a similar wax flower in our garden in Melbourne, Australia. Hope it was clear enough to see the eclipse. Thanks for your inspiration.
Очень понравилось видео, с разными моментами, полюбоваться интерьером, милым животным, где все, оживает, непременно хочется видеть такие видео
I love how genuine and honest you are. So refreshing.
The tulip bouquet is simply beautiful! I need "this much" vodka. You made me think of Julia Childs sampling the wine while cooking. Those bacon puff pastry pinwheels look delicious. The Cosmo is perfect to celebrate the eclipse. (or anything) Always fun to see Avery and the cats assisting you with household cleaning tasks. Your house looks so clean and comfortable, while also having a beautiful and aesthetic atmosphere. I watched for something to happen here where I am in Wisconsin during the eclipse, but all I noticed was a cardinal fly past my window. That was all as it was overcast. I'm going to take it as a good sign. Thank you for the great video. Take care and have a wonderful weekend. See you next time.♥️🐕🐈⬛🐈🐦🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🥓🧀🧹 🍸🍸🌷
Kevin, as always, sharing your day is a joy!
Lovely yellow roses. 😊
Thank you, Kevin, for video the flower varieties from your local floral shop -- quite a collection -- I particular have the appreciation for those Canterbury bells ; an eye feast for the new Spring. Thank you!
Dear Kevin! I love your videos and recipes! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and wonderful ideas! Blessings to you both!
Thank goodness you have calmed me with your video after reading about awful things from Iran ….thank you for your warmth and good natured ness ❤🇬🇧xx
I am amazed at all the work you do on the house. If you published a cleaning routine…day, week, month, year. I would try it and let you know when I got out of the hospital! LOL
Hello Kevin. I love all your videos. I look forward to seeing what you are up to. You are so welcoming to us all. I feel like you are judt talking to me. I love the information you give us on your most beautiful home. I have learned so much from you. You're a very well cleaner and make it look so satisfying after you're done. You could have been a florist. You do beautiful arrangements. Plus, i am going to make the bacon pinwheels. If i could be a guest of yours, it would be a pleasure. You should have a contest to come visit you and sit down for tea. It would be great. Hello to Mr. Fox. Enjoy the rest of your day.
Your friend
Martha ❤
Loving the Yellow Roses ❤
Yellow roses are my favorite.
Always enjoy your videos. I have an old house (85 years old, not 200 like yours) so I truly appreciate your cleaning tips. I am going to have to clean my old chandelier soon, ugh. But you make cleaning look fun. Thank you.
I really enjoyed your celebration of the solar eclipse in this positive spirit. And: whenever I feel not so perfectly motivated about cleaning, I think of you and feel much better. Thank you for sharing your activities with your viewers, it is a pleasure.
Hi Kevin.You always do so great in everything you do.Thank you for taking us along to the Flower shop with you.And the Music you Play is great.Thank you for all that good Cooking,and Showing how to make things so great.And giving all information about all kinds of stuff.Love you Kevin,mr.fox,Binky,Goldie, Avery, Lizeth.You all are so Wonderful and Beautiful.❤ Raquel.
Bacon and puff pastry, a heavenly combo. Oregon NW Coast usually sees the eclipse. I didn't watch it this time, though. My kitty, Clover, loves to watch your videos as well. I think she responds to your calmness and voice tone. She looks for your cats and Avery as well. Thanks for including us in your party.
Hello Kevin, I live in Northern New Jersey and not in the line of totality for the eclipse. It was ominous looking outside but not totally dark. Having just experienced a 4.8 earthquake on Friday, I was not too disappointed. Mother Nature is nothing to laugh at for sure. Drinks and charcuterie on the patio sounds heavenly. I enjoy watching you so much. Thank you.
Kevin, thank you for your wonderful videos; this one was extra special to me. I live in the Catskills of New York, and your locale reminds me of the incredible beauty of nature that I have the joy of experiencing. I spent the eclipse with my brother, his wife, daughter and friends in Essex Junction, Vermont, and witnessed totality of the moon shutting out the sun. It became dark as night, but we had a little party also, with Moon pies, Sun Chips, light-up balloons, Eclipse Gum, and special tee shirts. My brother had a catastrophic stroke two years ago which left him unable to walk, talk, or care for himself. He was overjoyed that his big sister was there to celebrate this very special event, and his smiles and laughter were priceless. Warmest regards to you and your loved ones.
Я очарована атмосферой вашего старого дома и провела прекрасное время с вами вашими помошниками ! 😃❤
I never tire of “touring” your lovely home, Kevin!
I was in Chardon, Ohio when the sun and moon crossed paths. Yes it was total--got to see the firey ring with a thrilling 10-sec diamond at 6:00. Awesome! We were gathering to celebrate the eclipse and to participate in a fundraiser for my 10-yo grandson who has leukemia. It was a wonderfully uplifting event: song, channeling, healing, chair massage, forest bathing, and late day drumming around a fire. Happy to share with you 😊
My florist neighbor revealed that the best way to keep tulips up straight is to throw a few copper pennies in the vase of water. Just an FYI, as it really does work.
Hello Kevin. Love your garden setting outside and the lovely little table in the window. Everything in your home is enchanting. Exciting eclipse.
Hi Kevin, nice to see you. I, too, am doing some major house cleaning today. I made a tea to take a break and found you cleaning. 😀 I enjoyed the cute interactions with your pets. Love tulips; your arrangement is lovely. I must try the bacon puff pinwheels; they look delicious.
Where I am, in Hamilton Ontario, we were in the direct line of total solar eclipse - just. I rushed home from work and set myself up to participate in that extraordinary event. Total darkness in the middle of the day. It was amazing. Everything, including all the humans who had gathered in my neighbourhood, got very quiet. The temperature dropped significantly. I heard a loud rumble, much like thunder. Apparently that booming sound was due to the sudden drop in temperature. And then it was all over; the sun returned, the temperature rose and life went on.
Later tonight my daughter and I are going to a Shen Yun performance. We are both so excited. Although this is my gift to my daughter for her birthday, it's a gift to me, too.
Thank you for sharing your day with us, Kevin. Look forward to our next visit.
🙂
@nancythomas2193 we saw the totallity from the bank of the river in Dunnville! It DID get dark, cold and quiet didn't it?!
How was the Shen Yu performance?
I always cry with the Cody Francis song, in a good way, something about it touches my soul. We were at 83% and it was still very cool, i stood in our parking lot for almost two hours lol! Invited everyone i saw to view the sun with my eclipse glasses. Spreading the wonder of the event!. (We had 98% in 2017! That was amazing! Can't imagine full totality!) As always, love seeing the fur babies actively participating! 🥰
I love seeing Avery and Goldie joining you always when you are working. I am sure you must be enjoying their company.
Cheers! That cocktail looks refreshing! Those bacon appetizers look really delicious. I enjoyed watching your kitty and dog helping you clean. I also watched the eclipse from Redding CT. Not in the totality zone but still quite amazing to see! Have a great weekend!
Kevin love your videos! I've made many of your recipes. So enjoy you taking us on trips to the shops. Of course your furry family members are especially enjoyable.
Kevin you make my day. 🌷
Thank you for your beautiful videos.
I enjoy them all. And I love your dog and the cats.Have two Dogs at my home.
Greetings from the middle of Germany.🙋♀️🌷
Merci de partager ce moment historique 🌖avec nous. C'était fantastique voir l'éclipse! 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Ah! un commentaire en français, c'est très rare sur ce site !! De quel endroit avez vous observé l'éclipse solaire ?? Ici à Sherbrooke le ciel était totalement dégagé et l'éclipse totale, quel spectacle !! Vous êtes un ou une fan de Kevin ?
Ici à Sorel-Tracy l'éclipse était parciel, un vrai spectacle naturel !💫
@@user-yb5jc8ny8v Sorel-Tracy, je connais. Mon frère, maintenant décédé, vivait là.
Brother Kevin, I want to thank you for your videos, you bring joy to my soul, everytime I watch you. ❤❤❤amazing cook and you provide beautiful atmosphere with your music and garden, flower arrangements. You takes me back to the old gold times. My husband and I send greetings from Australia
Such a fun video. Thanks again! Plus, I love your pets' antics!
So enjoyed the eclipse with you…❤️❤️❤️…. And I love that you share your pets with us… they are so lovely… and you are a lovely man… I so enjoy your gracious company…
Absolutely love the piano music! ❤
Kevin, how fortunate you are to live in such a beautiful historic home. You take care of it so well. Loved to watch you clean, cook, and make cocktails. I live in WI where we had about 70% of the total eclipse. Unfortunately I was in the ER while it happened so missed the whole thing! Bummer! Thanks again for sharing your life with us. You are a remarkable person.
You are such a wonderful fur baby daddy. We can see the love you have for them and the love they have for you. I too watched the eclipse. It was breathtaking. I watched it the full 4 hours. Thank goodness here in Ohio it wasn’t cloudy. I couldn’t believe how dark and cold it got. I kept my dogs inside. They were fussing they wanted out with me. But the strange part is when it got dark they were totally silent. You give me inspiration to clean my home. I need to get it ready for the warm weather and sunny days. Thank you for another great video. I look so forward to them. ❤
I love your videos. You provide a time of elegance, beauty, manners and peace for your viewers. Thank you!❤
❤un placer acompañarte Kevin ,visitar tu casa y tu jardín y verte con tus hermosos animalitos.❤
I feel so pitiful with the realization that I never clean my walls with a microfiber mop! Now I'm going to! Thanks Kevin, you're awesome 👌
So special to join you in this solar eclipse celebration. So tickled to see your little helpers with the cleaning. The tulip bouquet is one of my favorite arrangements of yours. Simple❤
Enjoyed this video.
Have a wonderful,and blessed weekend Kevin!
Mr Wilde also did not have Goldie , Binky and Avery to assist.Always a pleasure seeing you and your precious pets.❤❤❤ ❤❤ ❤
Day 6 of asking lovely Kevin to please show us his night time routine which includes his skincare as his skin is literally glowing and we love a self care king.
Kevin may desire some things to remain private❤😊
@@gloriarangott8803 Well then Kevin can keep it private can't he, but nothing wrong with asking. She's right, he has the most beautiful skin, it's only natural to be curious how he takes care of it ❤
Beautiful music, cleaning, watching your videos are so comfortable and bringing me a peace and joy, appreciation 🙏❤️
Good afternoon Kevin, Mr. Fox and Fur babies, My son and his boyfriend went to Upstate New York to view the Eclipse this past weekend and he said it was beautiful, he and his boyfriend wore the glasses 😎 , unfortunately I didn't get the privilege of viewing the Eclipse being that I live in South Eastern Connecticut but I did see a Livestream of it. Very beautiful Flower arrangements that you did and the appetizers 🥟🥟and cocktails 🍸🍸 looked absolutely scrumptious 😋. Thank you Kevin and Mr. Fox for all that you do and have a Great Weekend 😊❤❤
This would have been a grand time to celebrate the eclipse....thank you for sharing a wonderful snack and Cosmo drink.
Nothing is better then one of your videos . I enjoy them so much .
Beautiful flowers as always. Thank you Kevin. Another soothing video I adore.
This whole video was enjoyable. I especially enjoyed the pets, today.
Thank you , Kevin .
I enjoy , always , with you
Thank you very much for the video, the piano music harmonizes with the charm of the house and all the little wonders and beautiful flowers, greetings from Spain.
Nice video, Kevin. I live in Bristol New Brunswick, and experienced eclipse totality, on Monday. 🎉 My husband, and I, celebrated with a bottle of champagne and nibbles, on our deck. Spectacular! Love your beautiful flowers, and all of your special four legged fur babies.
Cheers, from New Brunswick, Canada 🇨🇦
Glad that Inspector Avery approved your stair cleaning efforts😂
The stairway carpet is absolutely beautiful!
I’m happy that Avery, Goldie and Binky are allowed on it. 😺🐺😺
You are such a thorough cleaner. You inspire me!
Kevin I really enjoyed this video so much. Everything about it was loveky. I feel at peace with the deep cleaning and the furrry helpers. And the Cosmos were perfect. At my home in East Texas the clouds parted just at the perfect time for us to have the total eclipse. It was a though a shroud feel over the yard. The birds became silent as you noted and my garden lights twinkled on. It was magical. Thank you so much for this spectacular sharing of your home and life.
How adorable , love your beautiful home. Such a perfect harmony with your lovely fur friends!
I love it when you take us on your road trips. I get to see the beautiful scenery that other wise I wouldn’t. The beautiful flowers! Have a wonderful weekend. ❤
Hi Kevin, from Ottawa, Canada (Our nation's capital). We only had a partial eclipse here. I would like to say that Avery and your cats love you so much, it's so nice to see. Also, I've learnt more about cooking from you than any other person ever and I'm so grateful for this. Thank you and best wishes aways to you and Mr. Fox. 💞
WOW, did y'all see Kevin Lee pouring that vodka like it was water?
Can't fool me, they deleted footage of Kevin Lee and another passed out on the garden greenery.
Love seeing Avery, Binky, and Goldie.
Love your four-legged “helpers”. In addition to always enjoying your videos, I find myself inspired to do just a little bit more in my 1907 Victorian. 😊. The bacon pinwheels look absolutely delicious!
Maybe watching you can get me inspired to do the same. My house is not as old as yours, it's only 186 yrs old, with a fairly substantial update in 1881. I wish they had left it alone as I'd prefer it pure, but still it's rather a pleasant abode.
We drove up to the Lake Piseco area, It was cool seeing people getting ready in their yards and little parking areas and even in the bed of their pickup truck as we drove north. We just pulled over at about 2:40 and watched through our glasses. It was the coolest thing I think I've ever seen. It got SOOOOOO dark up there. It was so worth kind of throwing the days plans away and jumping on the moment. Thanks for your special Eclipse celebration!
Good evening from Spain. A pleasure.
Oh, I have dreamed of going to Spain my whole life (& I’m pretty old 😄). My ancestors are from Barcelona/ Catalonia. Maybe someday I’ll get there. 🤞🙏🏻
Kevin your house is always SPARKLING ✨ I enjoy watching you cleaning it and learn from you from where to start and when to finish. Thank you for sharing this video ❤❤❤
