I have just re-watched this video. Wow, but your garden is simply spectacular! I understand why you took down a couple trees, but when that spruce fell over, I just cried.....I am rather weepy since my husband passed away. Like you, I also adore trees - we had about a quarter acre garden around our house of some 45 years, and as I love trees, and decidious shade is vital in our hot African weather, I had planted about 25 mature decidious trees. The person who bought our house in 2018, decided to take every single green thing out of the garden area!!!! He put concrete all around the house, creating a bland parking area...oh well. I would have loved to have spent a fe tranquil hours in your serene garden, Mary - always loved Ohio, and those birds just send me into Heaven! And, wow, what a privilege to see the aurora!!!
Y’all are the most hard-working people! My back hurts just from watching. 😂😂😂
Mine too!
I was looking for this comment. I feel so lazy watching this on my couch! 😂❤
Hey! Thank you for being willing to acknowledge the amazingness of God on social media. You are appreciated🙂
I know I’ve told you before, but I just can’t say it enough…everything you touch turns out beautiful.
Your property looks so peaceful. Pure tranquility!! Your gardens are always amazing.
I have dappled shade gardens in my front yard and I struggle with what to plant, and making it look nice.
You’re just a natural!! ❤
Your gardens are so beautiful enjoy them
Oh Mary, I know it was hard to cut down that tree. A few years ago I had to decide to have an old dogwood in my yard cut down. It was more than 50 years old and had been the victim of droughts, bad winter storms, and another tree falling right next to it and grazing its side. Bugs were inside the trunk and it was slowly dying before my eyes. I cried so bad the day it was cut down. My neighbor took a large piece of the trunk and had a man make a lovely wooden bowl from a section of it. I treasure that bowl! Take care.
I forgot, I love how you tell us the names of birds and point out their sounds. The cardinal is beautiful. You may be use to seeing them. There is a saying that if a cardinal visits you, it is an angel watching over you. Have you ever heard this before?
You make me chuckle, Mary-you said you’re impatient. IN A MILLION YEARS, u aren’t impatient. Omgosh you’re the picture of patience from what I can see ❤ thank you for this video. I love your property-the birds, forest, etc. so peaceful
Mary, you and your husband created a beautiful and peaceful area that can be a real joy to behold. It must just be very peaceful to just sit and relax in the evening. Thank you for taking me along as you created this beautiful haven. See you next time, and yes, God is Great.
You are the hardest worker ever! Those rocks were heavy and you were throwing them around like nothing!!😂 Your yard is so peaceful and beautiful and everything you do just makes it look better! 💜
All the hard work you and your husband did removing the trees, and redoing that whole side of your yard is A M A Z I N G!!! I'm too old for any major yard 'reno's' now, but I have done in the past and I know how laborious it is.....but so satisfying when you see the finished results!! You are right.....one job always leads into another very quickly! Everything looks so manicured and just really and truly beautiful. Now you can enjoy the view from the top of the hill to the firepit area and visa versa! Well done! Can't get over how much your son looks like his Dad! I thought it was him at first! The northern lights were spectacular! Glad you got to experience it! ~~M~~
God is so wonderful to give us glimpses of His beauty while we are here on this earth. I can only imagine what breathtaking beauty awaits us when we get to Heaven!
Can't wait to see Jesus and the home that He has prepared for us there.
Remember the fourth commandment KJV reminds us of Genesis 2:2&3. God never changes Jesus is our example. We’ve all been deceived. It was roman emperor Constantine in 321 A.D. after generations of Christian persecution who thought to change God’s times and laws. Jesus said don’t be deceived. And if you love Me KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.
Praise God that you live in the middle of Gods Beautiful Creation and you take such wonderful care of it.
I got to see the northern lights for the first time that night as well. I was brought to tears at the beauty. It was very much a God moment for me. Seeing them has been on my bucket list my whole life. I told my husband I don’t want to cross it off because I want to see it again. Absolutely amazingly beautiful! So much more than I expected and hoped. I can’t imagine how they must be further north.
I think this might be my favorite video! Everything looks so pretty. And like you I was in awe of seeing the northern lights. I never dreamed of getting to see them from my front yard in Alabama!The scripture “the heavens declare the glory of the Lord” came to mind as I watched. His creation never fails to cause awe.
Amazing ! The Lord is awesome!
I might have missed it but I'd love to see the view from the deck with the spruce down. With all the plants that you added to your beds I think it's okay to cut down one tree especially to make other trees healthier. Beautiful as always!
Yep, that's what I expected to see in the video. maybe later .
Yeah I wanted to see that too! Maybe next video, hopefully!
Absolutely beautiful property! What a "spruce up". Just so peaceful and relaxing. You are such a hard worker Mary!
We got to see the Northern Lights as well. I cried. So beautiful- God’s work.
Thanks for your video and sharing. The renewed space looks wonderful.
Mary and John you guys never cease to amaze me. Such a beautiful place, so peaceful.You deserve to relax ,have fun with your families. God Bless, Rebekah I never get tired of God's creations.
I can appreciated how much hard work went into this project. Very inspiring! Loved how you showed how the plan progressed and changed.
Girl, all I can say is you have a lot of energy. That is back breaking work. Looking great!
The birds singing God's praise. Love the sound.
Awesome pictures of the northern lights! The yard makeover is amazing! Such a beautiful yard!
Opening the landscape up really increased its appeal!! You have a beautiful place!
You have such a strong back and strong work ethic , coupled with amazing creativity. I love your place!
Really opens up the space with the two trees gone. Looks beautiful. ❤😊
Wow. You are so strong Mary! And so incredibly talented! I have totes of projects that I can’t quite get to because of health issues - but I’m not ready to give up! My inspiration comes from you. So glad you got to see the northern lights! The first time we see them we are most certainly in awe of the world our Heavenly Father created. Visiting your area and staying in one of your cottages is on my bucket list!
Mine too!!
You won’t regret it! It was on my bucket list too! Finally went last October!! It was heavenly!!
Hiya Mary!!! I am a big fan. Thank you for all the inspiration, calmness, and love that you give to your channel. I am certain that I don't speak just for myself. You are a blessing!!! I live in Northern Canada, I mean, "The Artic Circle"!! Iqaluit, Nunavut, to be exact. I have the absolute privilege and belessing to see the Northern Lights frequently. They are truly a wonder and the way they dance, spectacular!!!! Again, thank you, well, for you!!!! ❤
It's so hard for me to sometimes sit through videos of people working in the yard or cleaning when there's so much to be done around my house,but your videos are addicting,they are so inspiring and contagious..I feel you are a kindred soul..❤
Wow, very beautiful, does your back hurt the end of the day??😅
I feel the same way you do about trees…I hate to fell a tree, but you made the right decision to remove this one…what a difference…let there be light! The neighboring trees will love it! A delightful panorama awaits! I know you gave it a lot of thought before making the decision to go with it and again it was a good choice! Everything is going to be amazing when it all comes to fruition! Knee pads Mary knee pads…save those knees for your later years girlfriend! ☺️ You’re blessed beyond measure! ❤
I believe taking it down is the correct long-term choice.... My father had a spruce about that distance from his house and it got well over 100 feet tall.,... and became too big to deal with.
YES I agree about the knee pads , and Please John wear eye protection when using a chainsaw , all of that debris flying around it only takes a second to put a pair of safety glasses on. Your eyes should always be protected . Motherly advice😊
Que pena talar los árboles, hay que ser más consciente con la naturaleza, 😔
Yes SAVE the KNEES
@@vilmaterra4107habeces hay que cortarlos para darle mas oportunidad que crezcan otros. ella lo explicó en el video.
Hi Mary, I know I have said it before, but I will say it again, you have got to be the hardest working lady I know of! And if I had your energy, wow, I would be so happy!!! Thank you for this video Mary, it inspired me to get busy in my own yard! God Bless!
I thoroughly enjoyed watching you work outdoors this spring 2024! I used to work that diligently, and now at age 72, I pace myself. Thank you for the idea of straw atop grass seed…will be using that! Your property looks luscious and so beautifully tended! I love it!
I know exactly how you feel about cutting down good trees, but sometimes it is just for the best. We have several evergreens planted too close together, so we cut one down and gave it to my neighbor to use for her Christmas tree. Now the others are growing much better.
Im in awe of all you can do when you transform your land. Thank you for sharing your beautiful outdoors with us. I love all your videos!
Well that’s a first. Gardening in a pencil skirt. Fashion amongst the flora!
I don't usually comment but I love this. It's so inviting and just to sit and listen to the birds. Love it
Loved hearing all the birds in the background while you worked. Very calming! Looks great too!
You folks have your own little Pardice .
Your home and yard are Beautiful. Mary your like a little bee buzzing around doing a project. It must be so satisfying. Enjoy the Summer
Once again enjoyed your video.
😊
Great changes, even Nature needs space to breath and grow 😍
Such a calming, relaxing video. I love to see how you place different plants and greenery around your space.
Absolutely Love your Rock Wall Mary! Your visions of change are always lovely, natural and add to the beauty of your property. 🌿🪴🌸
How wonderful you and family got to see the Northern Lights! What a treat! I enjoyed this video so much! Partly because Ohio is so different from southern California! Delightful to watch you improving your yards! Thank you! Enjoy!
Oh what a lovely space you created. You are such a hard worker Mary. Thank you for sharing your creation, and thank you so much for taking us along. See you soon. 😊❤😊❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Mary, thank you for sharing your creative inspiration. It inspires me to create and repurpose items in my home. Thank you for sharing the northern light photos! Our God is the great artist & creator! Blessings.
I love viburnum too! I have one I planted in front of my bedroom window so I can smell it when the window is open in the spring. My grandma always had one along the walkway to her back door and I loved smelling that, it brings me back!
I too, am very impatient when I want to get something done and will struggle at times doing it myself. My husband always says, " Why didn't you wait for me?" 😂
Wow, you know the name of so many plants. I didn't know you could see the Northern Lights as far as Ohio. Thank you for the allowing me to see the beauty of the Northern Lights
Mary, Your backyard space is just such a wonderful place. So glad you were able to see the Northern lights. Love and blessings 💚💛💚
Oh my what a beautiful place you have. Your hard work is so very evident. God's creation shows up in every blade of grass, and it is spectacular. Thank-you for sharing
What a wonderful serene backyard. You are such a hard worker, just amazing work ethics.!
God’s gorgeous creation!! Makes me cry!! Thank You Jesus!! Your home creation is also stunning!! You both did such a lovely job on your place!!
gosh, how beautiful, yes our Lord gives us splendor
My back would be screaming after moving all those rocks and the digging. It looks beautiful!
I couldn't watch those perfectly healthy trees get cut down, it was just heart breaking!
Everything turned out amazing. I just can't believe the hard work . But when you have a vision it just keeps going. I would love to have a back yard with the pond. Have a wonderful summer. Joyce
Beautiful! We could see NL in Northern California. Thank you for always giving Glory to God. Appreciate your videos.
Both of you worked so hard in your yard. I'm looking forward to see the new grassway. The birds sound so neat. Loved this video.
Wow!!! What an AMAZING JOB!!! Everything looks sooooo BEAUTIFUL!!! ❤️🌿🌸🌿🌼🌿
Mary, I too don't like seeing trees taken down; however, what you've created is absolutely outstanding in design and creativity! I've said this about you before and I need to say it again: You're the hardest working person on TH-cam, full stop! I so appreciate your sharing your vision with us. I'm humbled by your dedication to making your home a very special place. ❤
So peaceful & relaxing sounds of nature.
I thought at the beginning of the video when you were talking about the birds. “The glory of God” we are so blessed if we just take the time to look. Then you talked about the northern lights and mentioned the glory of God. We truly are blessed.❤
Mary, I’m watching this in England, at 06.30 am, with my iPad in one hand and a cup of tea in the other, feeling utterly slothful in comparison to your hardworking self! For a petite lady you certainly pack a punch. Your home is so beautiful, and it’s particularly fascinating to see and hear birds that aren’t native in the UK. This has been one of my favourite videos, and I thank you for letting us share the benefits of all your effort and artistic imagination.
I'm picturing Mary perched on the top of a tree filming... LOL
I grew up and lived half of my life in Labrador and seeing the northern lights was a regular occurrence. There is a song, The Northern Lights of Labrador. I have been living in Surrey, British Columbia for 25 years in a city, so we don't see much. As children we were told not to whistle at them or they will come down and take you away. Of course we all whistled and they did seem to come down and closer but they didn't take us away.LOL.
Mary, I am against cutting down trees too but your whole outdoor space looks so much better. The fact that you planted things good for the area that attacks butterflies is a positive. When you moved the rocks, I was saying out loud, look at her go! I miss those days. I couldn't wait for others either. If I thought I could do it, I did. I once cut down a huge tree whose roots were close to my house. I only used a small dollar tree pruning saw and it got the job done. It is regrowing now but we now live down the road. Where we are now is a small garden full of river rock. After 10 years here it is taken over by wild morning glory and bishops weeds. I hope I feel better soon to tackle it. Your creativity and endurance are impressive.❤
Hallo 🙂
So ein wunderschönes Grundstück 🥰Man sieht das viel Liebe reingesteckt wird. Man fühlt sich beim zuschauen sofort wohl.
I know we are not supposed to be jealous but I can't even begin to imagine living in a beautiful patch of paradise like you and John, have worked so hard to make it so cozy and peaceful. I live in the suburbs and have to drive to the park to see large amounts of grass and trees. I work in my garden when it's below 90°, I live outside of New Orleans. We may have great food but we have lousy weather!! 😢 Great job and thanks for your wonderful creativity to inspire us with!! 😊😅
I can hardly wait to see the grass path!!!
Mary,
You and John have beautiful home. Thank you for inspiring me to continue to create❤
Love all these ideas! I love that you take pride in each area of your property. I know social media makes you feel like you have to explain why you do things, but you do not have to!!! You both work so hard and it shows in your beautiful home...
How beautiful! It is very hard to take out trees, but wow what a difference! We're about to take out a bunch of overgrown trees in our yard & I can't wait to replant the area. You have given me lots of ideas!
Once again you have inspired me to get to work! Love the way cutting down those trees opened up the space! Can’t wait to see a video when the grass is filled in. Beautiful and inspiring as always!
These gardening/outdoor videos are some of my favorites. I was able to see the Northern Lights in WV too. Amazing!
That's a lot of hard work but it's so worth it in the end. It's very pretty and functional!
Really enjoyed seeing this! You are such a hard worker. I wish I had just a dab of your energy. You inspire this old Nana!
I’d love to have a property with all those beautiful rocks. Great for landscaping! 👍🏻
I really enjoyed this video. Especially the sounds of the birds! Your home is lovely. The outside area is so inviting. Your hard work is evident.
Your yard Mary is absolutely gorgeous !!! We lived in Wisconsin and our yard was beautiful too but then we moved to Idaho and it’s totally different here for sure but still fun ! Love watching Mary !! God bless !!
So beautiful Mary! I just love the transformation you & John achieved! You have a beautiful outdoor space! ❤
Love the changes and the birds, kitty, and aurora borealis! I saw the Northern lights once in Michigan and it was an awe inspiring experiance🤗🙏🤗.
Wonderful video, that was hard work but you will love the outcome of all of it. The Northern lights were absolutely beautiful here in MI. I'm a bird watcher myself.
I think your rock wall turned out great! Was John impressed? You never cease to amaze me with the projects you do.
Wow Mary. Looks great! So glad the northern lights were visible. We had cloudy weather here in southern Maryland. My southern relatives shared nice photos. ❤
I love watching your videos and I am not sure that I have ever left a comment before. I find your videos relaxing and informative. BUT, I also live vicariously through you!! I have had 2 back surgeries so many of the outdoor activities I used to do I cant anymore. My husband does help with our yard but I used to get so much pleasure out of the physical effort involved. I loved watching you move the rocks because that is what I use to do. I live in CA but have always dreamed of living "in he woods" as you do. Your home looks like such a haven, inside and out. Your family is truly blessed with all the hard work you put into your home.
Awesome and beautiful as usual, Mary! That was lots and lots of hard work, but so worth it. I’m always amazed at all your talents.
I wish I had your energy! The both of you work so hard. 😅 Your home and property is so beautiful ❤️
Hello Mary!!! Such a beautiful outside space!!! I love the rock wall you created!!! I hate to have trees cut down but sometimes we have to. It really opened up your space!!! It turned out beautifully!!! Take care and God bless 😊❤
I love how you throw those rocks around like they’re weightless without even a grunt lol I’d be making lots of noise if that were me!
Wisteria would have been nice on the swing set with hanging flower baskets until the Wisteria got going ❤! You could always add to it for a pathway with other climbing plants. Maybe leading to a secret garden. With natural stone pavers level with the ground ❤! It's so beautiful the way you have it look natural as well as intentional !!!
I wish I had your work ethic then maybe my yard could be as beautiful as yours, but then again probably not. Your vision of what will be the end result is amazing. Beautiful job once again.
I love your changes! I love trees too but sometimes you need to make tough decisions. You have wonderful vision and it was so enjoyable to come along with you on your project!
Your backyard is absolutely gorgeous.. I would never get tired of enjoying it. You did a fantastic job!
I love the sounds of singing birds
Your backyard landscaping looks amazing! I know it was SO MUCH work-but I wished I could have been back there helping you all while smelling the lilac!!
The tree was beautiful but I do think the view is much better. You have a beautiful outdoor space !
Lots of hard work. The grass path will look great, like it should have been there.
I love your landscaping,its my favorite part of your videos
Gorgeous! Pure inspiration to take the tree down for such a pretty view to the pond. Love too the idea to connect the lawns - the green space will be so pretty! Thanks for taking us along with you - such beautiful property!
Gorgeous! Such great vision and timeless. LOVE LOVE
You made a beautiful garden area. Your yard is so serene. Love it.
At the beginning I didn't visualise the transformation, but nearly to the end I've seen it. When the grass is going to grow is going to be beautiful, all the changes you made. Thank you.
You do what you like, after all it’s your property. Looks great! 😊 We also saw the northern lights here in eastern Tennessee, it was amazing.
