And once again I'm back to the cabin on the sound! It feels wonderful to be back here
Instead of doing what I should to get settled in I've started working on a handful of projects - mainly herbals and kitchen witchery as I can't seem to ever get those things out of my system! But I'm looking forward to getting settled and getting to work!

Oh my goodness, don't be so upset the vlog wasn't "exciting" haha. I don't tune in for excitement I tune in your channel for calm and relaxation. I also tune in because you do very interesting things with simple items from the earth like rose hips. So don't fear my dear keep making your beautiful vlogs just the way they are and we will keep tuning in. I love you, you seriously have won over my heart and are part of my prayers.
I agree with Kentucky Lady. Even though I’ve been retired for years, you’re a calming moment in my day.
ANNIE S Show Has So come a long way. From that horrid music to this A Beautifull symphony of Peace and Hope. Annie makes me Happy 😍

Annabel, I’m so glad you’re back at the cabin. I loved this place. Rural, wild and free. It’s perfect for the winter.
My thoughts too. I'm partial to Virginia, for the scenic places, the fall colors and history, but glad your back at the cabin. It is gorgeous. The fireplace alone, but the window with that view! Truly blessed!
Such a good reminder for me to look for the beauty in the everyday, mundane things. I'm feeling "stuck" right now and this has inspired me to find joy in my "mess". Thank you
i feel the same way. sending you love from afar ✨
One of the things I'm amazed about, is that your dish towels always look spotless, even though you're using them for everything. I never manage to really clean up the stains I make on mine...
Get all white towels. Bleach them, sooner rather than later…it works well…towels likely to look new a long long time. 🕊💗🕊
Literally I wonder about this every video!
@@katiemoyer8679 I thought about it, but ideally I'd like to find another solution that require less chemicals...
@@BerylThanh ok.
Consider. Everything is a chemical. I think it might depend on the chemical and the waste system maybe as to its Actual toxicity. And yes I LOVE natural things. I’ve a 1/4 acre organic garden which seems to be about my max atm to cultivate now as I’m in my seventies.
The focus motor noise from the lens gives some authentic cabin noises... totally befitting.
Loving the calm.
My job is extremely high stress and I work a ridiculous amount of hours for what I do. I'm always envious of people who have the capability to stop and smell the roses. I would love to be able to sit still and just enjoy space and time. Your cabin is so idealic, I'm happy you have the time to decompress and start again.
I agree!
I won't lie; I watch your videos several times because my ADHD/Anxiety infused brain calms down. Few things do it so well. Your presence adds a peaceful quality to my days that I wouldn't so easily attain. Thank you, hugs!
She has the life we would like to have, but personally right now, I'm trying my hand at goat breeding and raising - definitely not as calming or peaceful!
Okay...
1) Look into a firewood permit. Let's you harvest wood from dead standing trees. (Might have a different name from Arizona. )
2) This winter is supposed to be a HARD one. Even for those us in the desert. You need to get more sand bags.
3) Ryobi makes a battery powered chain saw. 18 volt. Maybe offer to trim wood and clean up tree messes if you're *that* worried about firewood.
4) Find the firewood on the mainland ad bring it back. Stock it up, cover it up and keep on the higher ends of the property (but that last bit I'm betting you knew already).
Also, when in the city, stop into the thrift stores and grab blankets, sweaters and a good pair of house boots. I'm not kidding when I say they are calling for a hard winter.
When I was in my 20’s I lived in a small town in northern Wyoming .I learned to spin wool on a spinning wheel.I made strawberry jam and would natural dye sheep wool for spinning.I went on wonderful hikes with natural beauty all around me.I enjoyed the simplicity of the changing seasons.I even plucked a turkey for Thanksgiving.I am now a senior and those simple experiences stayed with me. I just got back from camping with my husband at the Pacific Ocean .I too can remember worrying about having enough wood for the winter. Living life is in the every day.Your channel is wonderful.
Don't complain about an unexciting blog! I swear, the past week has been awful for me (caring for my grandma who passed away, boyfriend was away on travel, looking after my pup alone) and your blog hit me in the comforty mundance spots I was craving. Thank you for this.
The sound of the autofocus paired with the sound of the water almost makes it sound like you were on a small boat. It was really calming.
Always and honor to see your lovely take on outdoor beauty and rituals
The creaking of the camera and the water shots are so relaxing. Seems like the visit to Virginia was exactly what your soul needed. You seem more settled and peaceful now . Love your videos ❤️
Yes…camera ASMR🙌🏼…no complaints here.
I'm taking my first self-care day in months and using a lot of it to catch up on your videos on this channel and your main one - your content calms me, inspires me, and brings myself and so many other people so much joy. Thank you so much for being you and for creating such lovely content
When you sit down for lunch and expect the same judge Judy rerun to be suggested and THEN you see that Annie posted.. its gonna be a great day!!
Your voice and your cabin’s aesthetic is sooo soothing
Glad you got back safely. I love your calm simple vlogs. Thank you for sharing. Some day you should visit Sedona, the red rocks are beautiful. Sedona is such a magical place. I think you'd love it, Hazel too! Blessed Be from Phoenix, AZ. 💖😎🌵
I bet it’s so cozy there at nighttime with the fire and candles lit!!!!! Just need a cup of tea, a good book and a cozy blanket!
I weirdly love the occasional croaking sound of the in-camera mic - it's soothing & reminds me of being in a boat on the water 💙
Bless your hearth & home wherever you place your feet shining light! Kind thoughts & paths ☀️🌿
I am glad to see you went back to the cabin. It suits you.
Love the Cabin. So mellow and I understand the wood issue. Nobody wants to be cold. Burrrr. I lived in Colorado for 15 years. It sang to me. I miss it. I'm learning much from you, thank you Annie!
i never find your vlogs boring, theyre beautful to watch. i love the aesthetic and the style of editing, it flows really well with your personality
Thank you so much for the beauty you share with the world.
I'm glad you're back, safe and sound. You have a very different energy (more peaceful) in the cabin. Sounds like Hazel is also having a good time.
I'm also glad you got to hang out in Colorado for a couple of days. I'm a native to the state and while I know there are many wonderful places in the States to visit, I will always live in Colorado. There is an inherent magic in the land here. I hope you get to come visit again!
I'm happy to see that you seem happier, calmer and more radiant.
Blessed be, always.
Thank God for closed captioning. I love listening to you talk! Your voice is so soft and sweet and quiet, but with that, I need help as my hearing is impaired. Actually, you just mentioned that your mic died and you had to get a new one and you are waiting on it. Well, the closed captioning did just the job for me, and when your new mic comes in I will be better able to understand you again. That said, don't change the way you talk, because it is so calming and relaxing, and I suffer from chronic complex migraines and so many videos I have to turn off a few minutes into. Your videos help me feel a little bit better when I have what feels like an ice pick through my brain. Also, your vlogs are not boring! They are anything but boring! By the way, you are a beautiful human being with an exquisite spirit. Remember that always, no matter where you are!
Hi, whenever I've made anything with rosehips I've always chopped them first then strained them after to remove the seeds and irritant hairs. It also means that you get every bit of goodness out of them, I absolutely love rosehip syrup 🙂
In all Honesty. I love watching your vlogs BECAUSE theyre calm and natural. I like the feel of it. 💚💚💚
It sounded like a very wonderful trip across the United States, and I'm happy you got to see Colorado and the red rocks. I moved to Colorado from Belgium almost 4 years ago, and the beauty of the mountains and the red rocks, still amazes me each day. I absolutely love fall here as the aspen trees get their beautiful golden colors and I hope you got to experience some of those views as well on your trip.
Also, I love your vlogs, they are such a joy to watch and so relaxing. Thank you for sharing with us! 😊
you could make rosehip soup with the rosehips! It's a common snack/drink in the Nordic countries and doesn't take as long to make as jam.
🤔At first the sound was distracting by the water, but then my mind said it was a boat tied up nearby so it was nice. …and now there’s a boat tied up in your cabin!😳😁 I love it! 😄 Don’t worry, your videos are always lovely and relaxing. 💕
Mundane is good. It means everything is going well and no big unwelcome surprises. I like mundane. Glad you’re back in the cabin. My kind of place.
Annie, how do your tea towels stay so clean after you put marigold oil through it? It's the sort of thing that keeps me up at night. 😀
Good luck with your tube repair. Always a joy to watch your updates, helps settle all the things whizzing around in my head. Stay safe and well.
Your videos are SOOOOO SOOTHING! They are a balm while I recover from surgery.
Colorado here. Boulder and the mountains for over 20 years. Now a homesteader on the eastern plains. If you came through on I-70 you came within about 5 miles of me. We even have an outdoor amphitheater called Red Rocks.
As someone from Colorado, I'm so glad you were able to visit and experience the beauty and uniqueness of our state!
I usually wait until the rose hips are DARK red and soft before harvesting, usually in January- early February, so much sweeter and way easier to process! Also my favorite way to use rose hips are by boiling them (fresh or dried) in a huge pot of water until thick and strong, no sweetener needed and incredibly medicinal. My next project is making rose hip and elderberry syrup, I just harvested so many elderberries! Good luck and thank you for all you do! I really appreciate the magic you share ✨
That sounds lovely ❤ thank you for sharing.
Might be a silly question, are you combining the elderberry with the rose hip? 😊🌻
Yes! Rosehip should be harvested at least after the first frost :)
I enjoy ur vlogs no matter how u film them. Loved seeing Hazel with u as well. From the comments, ur fans including me tune in fir different reasons. Keep being you. That's what we love😊❤️☮️
Love & Blessings to you Dear Annie!
Those seeds can be a pickle. We soak rosehips, then simmer and use muslin or cheesecloth lined mesh colander. Lots of vitamin C and gorgeous color. I add this to my elderberry syrup and will probably add them to my hawthorn syrup as well.
I make rosehip jam every year. Family tradition! You just have to boil them whole until soft. Mash them and press them out through cheese cloth/strainer and then cook those juices /pulp with sugar down to jelly consistency. Colorado has wild roses all over the mountains and the plains along the roadsides I collect those ones for my jam.
The water 🏞️or the lake in your video looks so nice and calm. And the cabin looks so nice as well. I know I'm late to this video.
I love your vlogs they keep me grounded to the love of what the world has to offer instead of the materialistic world we have there is something about you where it just sets the tone to have minimal and be satisfied with who you are peace love and light my friend
Hazel 😘😘😘😘😘 I have a German Shepard named Sadie Rayne. These dogs are a ball of energy.
I'm so excited for you! You seem to have returned to your natural habitat. Hihi. And I find myself awaiting your video's again with anticipation! I wish you lots of creative inspiration with a touch of magic. ✨🧝♀️
You are such a beautiful soul. Thank you for the lovely video!
This video is making me feeling so calm and peaceful...thank you! hugs from French Canada!
I need two cords of wood for this winter too, & yes..it’s unusually difficult to locate a source for that this year here in Midwest too. We have never found this difficulty here in our 31 years of living in and around Shawnee National Forest. (Lots of pvt. Property bubbles in National Forests in Midwest as they were created well after pioneers settling the area). We have abundance of trees here. Love your channel dear sister. Your Channel is a healing balm. 😘. Thank you for your consistent authentic sharing and your wonderful herbal insights and teachings. 💗
I love your Cabin and so glad you are there fir the winter! It’s beautiful and just speaks fall and witchy and peaceful! Looking forward to seeing more videos! Love to Hazel! I also love the drawings you share with us on Pateron! ❤️❤️🧙🏻♀️🥰
Even though you thought this was mundane, it was enjoyable. Thanks for the videos.
Glad to see your back at the cabin. I know you like it there. I have been living in W.V. but am going on a road trip to my other home in the white mountains, N.H. USA. I think you would like it there We are on the verge of Vermont. Looking forward to the rivers and trees and the turning of the leaves. Enjoy your time at the cabin and i hope you get your wood soon. Many Blessings Annie and Hazel 💘
I live in Colorado 🥰 Happy you enjoyed your time here! I would love to experience rustic coastal living as an adult. I lived coastal as a child, but always in the south in cities & on Pacific Islands. Then once as an adult briefly in Silverdale Washington, however it wasn't a time in my life that I was in tune with myself & nature. I live in a small city now, but I have a lot going for me here toward living a more spiritual existence. I live walking distance of a cemetery, i have beautiful views of the Rocky Mountains when I go for walks or wherever I am driving 🌄❤ I am a 20 minute drive to nature & an hour drive into the mountains. I am learning about nature's offerings in every season, even in the cold dead of winter. It is giving me love & appreciation for where I live. But I long to live near the water again. For peacefulness & work, knowledge, growth. Thank you for sharing your life & experiences with us 🙏🏼❤
Hi! I would like to live by the sea as well, though I'm not sure where exactly.
Which Pacific Islands did you live in? I have a big attraction for the area but I have only visited, I don't know how everyday life would be there. Also love Mediterranean.
🏖😘
@@anastrawberry8047I have visited Oahu & Kauai, which of course are gorgeous. We lived in the Philippines & on the tiny island of Guam. Guam is great, but it is very small. nly 40 miles long & 1 to 8.5 miles across & population just under 169,000 people. The sland fever is real if you aren't used to it. It's an 8 hour flight south west from Hawaii if you are coming from the states & it is a US territory. Good luck with your search!
@@anastrawberry8047 oh! And I would love to visit the Mediterranean as well! I haven't been anywhere in Europe!! 🥺
Thank you for showing up and delivering however you are able too! There is no judgement, You are Always authentic and bringing your best under whatever circumstances may arise…you rise to the occasion and i find your videos to be authentic and enjoyable, namaste
Honestly darling girl, YOUR mundane life is MY dream fantasy! Way back in the 70s I lived in the Canyons of L.A. and your lifestyle is very reminiscent of those lovely, hippie days.
QUESTION: Is this your grandmother's cabin? Did she take over your apartment in the city or did you give that up altogether?
Yeah, I could hear you! Ty for turning the music back some!!
Hi Annabel, this place is also really beautiful, thank you for sharing it with us, I found you recently and I'm learning a lot thanks to you, I also follow you on the other channels. I love your videos, always so rich in color, light, following the cycle of the seasons, it seems to be there with you! A big hug from Italy!
It's a beautiful place, Annabel.
I've just recently made rosehip jam actually. I don't usually take the seeds out but mesh them through a sieve (or use a food mill / what we call a "Flotte Lotte" here in Germany, if you're not like me and actually thought to buy one before standing in the kitchen for an hour meshing cooked rosehip through your smallest sieve 😅). I love how they just spell autumn to me!
Good luck with your wood search and enjoy getting settled in again!
You don't need to apologize for anything. Life happens. Love Rosehip jam.
I love your videos I listen to them while i am cleaning and what not, its like motivational but calming. Lol
I've always wanted to visit Colorado, Aurora in particular. I was born there, then adopted out of Arizona. I've lived in AZ, so Aurora is at the top of my list to see where I came from :-)
Glad you made it safe to Washington. Looking forward to the next chapter with your fresh outlook for the new holiday seasons upon us all. 🍁🍃
I love being able to learn with you, the ups and downs and fixes within the process. Let's me understand the logic in the process.
I don't know if it's just me but I find you are more calm and at peace in your little cabin. It truly is a beautiful place to be, how can your heart not be lifted with sights like that waiting for you every day ❤ hope you manage to get some wood, nothing beats an evening spent in front of an open fire ❤ xxx
I am from Colorado! I am so glad you were able to enjoy our beautiful state. My girlfriend and I are natives to this state. However, we have always wanted to visit Washington and take in the beauty there. Maybe our paths will cross someday 🙂
Love, love, love 💘
I love this place. Love your vlogs.
Thank's 💚🧙♀️🌲🧝♀️🍀🌲👍
Hoping all has gone well and smoothly, that your procedure went well and that you now have some wood for the winter. It is, as always, a joy to see you and Miss Hazel, Annie. Always sending gratitude, love and all good thoughts to you and yours. 💕
Just watching you stir the pot is so satisfying. Enjoy your time in that beautiful place. ✨💜✨
You do magic so beautifully ✨ 💛🦋
After seeing a lot of posts/articles about supply chain issues and problems about finding things or being able to get stuff for holidays. My only suggestion is don't wait to get something. What is on the shelf now might not be there in a week or two. Good luck on finding your wood.
Glad to see you made it and are well. Such a beautiful place to live, a wonderful place to let your creativity flow. Life is never mundane , it's all in how we look at it. Wishing you well on your feeding tube fix. Take care.
I love the cabin…so glad your back there 😊🇬🇧
I can't think of a better place to be than by the water entering into the dark season. That cabin speaks cozy so well and I'm sure it's a family treasure. Hope you get your seasoned wood before the cold weather hits... Glad you're back at the cabin safely!!
Also, I hope you share your rose hip recipe, I really want to work with rose more for its' qualities. I have some rose petals I am drying and wish to turn into rose petal powder for latte's and moon milk. Any recipes with rose petal powder?
And s delightful, if damp, welcome back to Wa, dear one.
Hazel appears happy to be a cabin doggo again.
I love these mundane blogs. Don't stop then! Glad you arrived safely and will get your feeding tube fixed soon. That's so important!
Right there with ya! 😅
AM: it’s so crazy to see your cabin and the beach. I grew up on an island in the bottom part of the Puget Sound near Shelton WA.
Reminds me of so much seeing you on the rocky beach.
For processing the rose hips, have you considered using a food mill? Very efficient when trying to make jams out of tough skinned or small seeded produce.
The look around you is a peaceful quiet energy!
Welcome home! It is apparently where you need to be...in the here and now!?
You need a molcajete, though it's probably not easy to travel with. Stone is heavy.
Or use the board to protect the table and use a meat tenderizer
The creaking sound just sounds like an old swing…adds sort of a creepy Halloween vibe. 😆
I love the sound as well!!
I feel like I’m living vicariously through your adventures!❤️
The sound is of a creaking in the background with what you say is a broken microphone but I like it- it seems to me to sound like a creaking old boat out at sea! I feel it's atmospheric. Doesn't bother me! I have ear nerve damage and I'm sensitive to pitches! This pitch seems2soothe me anyway so from my point of view I like it! Lots luv💖💖🙏🏿🧚♀️🧚♂️ your vids are ALWAYS so special!!
Loved listening to you as always! Hazel and my shepherd are so alike I just love it- Willa chews her bone when I am talking and Hazel did that reminding me of just how much I adore it- like she’s happy you are just doing your thing! ♥️ I hope you find the 2 cords of wood soon-maybe you already have! 😉 I look forward to your next vlog- thank you Annie ! 🙏🍁🐕🥀
I'm so so happy to see you and Hazel back at the cabin. 💚
I just love your pot. Of all the things I probably should have been focused on, I obsessed over that. 🙂
I love the cabin. 🥰 I hope it's mild this winter.
These "simple" videos are the best, imo.
I'm excited for you, Annie! I hope you have a wonderful relaxing time with Hazel. I'm sure the wood and microphone will show up soon, and I can't wait to learn how to make that syrup!!! 😁💜
Life may be mundane but there are beautiful moments, your blog once a week is for me a beautiful moment. Getting wood is always a good feeling. When I burned wood I got a truck load of logs ( about 10 cords) to cut up and split .👍🌹❤️🎩
Hi love your videos so informative...you collected rose hips...when you make the jam chop rose hips roughly bring to boil...then simmer for a while .cool then strain through a double jelly bag .twice..that will remove hairs .then add back to the pan with sugar etc ....I make rose hip syrup this way and definatley no hairs ...blessings 😘🍒
I thought the background noises were quite soothing along with your content as always! Thanks for some beautiful pictures of your re-homing
So beautiful there
I am happy to hear your trip helped you settle better. It's been a difficult couple of years, I am struggling with depression and anxiety, I too have some rare health issues, and that can make world events be so much more scary. Washington is my home, I am not on the ocean like you, but it's not far. If you are still looking for firewood, try newspaper ads, Craig's list, Facebook marketplace, you may be able to find some through there. You can try asking at shops too, they might know a place that sells it as well.
The mundane calmness is the thing that makes me feel the most alive right now.
It's easier to crush the rosehips if you freeze them first as they go softer. I used some to make rosehip oil with sweet almond oil. Petra (Tony's wife).
Hey , wondered how long it would be before you moved. So long as you have your happiness in the zone . Hope you now have all your wood for winter and your new microphone. 👍👍🥂
