I love that you are always grateful and appreciate when people…strangers, friends or family, do something for you. You don’t have a entitled attitude. We all need that attitude. Thanks for reminded me, to be more thankful
I appreciate you showing the ideas that didn't work out and how you changed things to better suit your vision. It encourages others to try new projects and accept the creative process. Also, not everything needs to be new or perfectly maintained. I think most of us live in a "work in progress" kind of home!
This is the second time I have watched this, I got a chuckle out of your son getting the pillow in the floor to make his job more comfortable!!! I just love seeing and watching your family!!!❤️🌺🌸
One day you're just going to have to slow down Mary did such a good job with everything you do such a good job I'm 73 and I can't do it anymore I love your energy the energy you have just Hugo and the nature things that you do I just love love
Such a beautiful outdoor oasis to enjoy God's wonderful creations. I love how creative you are & how you re-use & re-cycle items too. Thank you for sharing with us, as it's so peaceful to watch. 💓
I hope you will be able to relax and enjoy your wonderful spaces with your loved ones. The house is a treasure and the lady is so gifted and generous. Look forward to seeing the new sign on the porch. 🐦
You always seem to create nirvana…….a little bit of heaven on earth. It’s all of the love that you and your family put into it…..I can actually feel it and it shows up in the end result. Thank you sweet girl….thank you. ❤️
Mary, your patio looks wonderful. I love it. You are an amazing lady. Always so sweet and grateful for everything. We need more people in this world like you, Thank you for sharing your ideas. ❤❤❤
That planter is brilliant! Like you said how great for a small space. A person could grow all their herbs and some vegetables in a tiny apartment. The watering method is also brilliant.
You whole space looks so beautiful and inviting........the birds singing, the water feature and the tree canopy. A little slice of heaven on earth. You are blessed. .
So lovely. Watching you arranging your deck gives me the urge but we have so many mosquitoes here in south Texas and the summer will be well up into 100 degrees till fall. I hope you will be able to enjoy your evenings around all your beautiful woods and plants. P.S. please pray for UVALDE, TEXAS! I'M 80 miles from this horrific school shooting. So much grief and sadness for families and children in this small town and Texas.
Thank you Mary for sharing your beautiful home with everyone. It always looks like heaven on earth. Look forward to seeing your videos, and hearing your pleasant voice.
*L💚VED the video, Mary❣️ What a beautiful and serene oasis you and John have created for your family.🤍 I chuckled when I saw Ephraim doing the patio set assembly on the floor with his belly protected from the hard floor with a cushy pillow...good solution, LOL❣️💚🤍🤣* *The sound of the water was so soothing; I wouldn't ever want to leave‼️ That combination table/fire pit is GENIUS...and looks GREAT by day with your lovely upcycled tray in the center with the crowning touch of the white caladium plant. JUST STUNNING❣️🤍💚 BRAVO‼️👏👏👏*
Mary, thank you for sharing your talents for making beautiful, peaceful places in your home and garden. I agree with your comment about not having to spend a lot. Sometimes just sprucing up your well-loved items is so satisfying. Enjoy your lovely deck with your family and friends!
What a lovely peaceful outdoor space. I just love all the plants and the water fountain . I would love to sit out there and rest with a cup of coffee or a glass of sweet tea. It is simply gorgeous.
I really enjoyed the video and new ideas. My interests are so similar to yours and you inspire me🌸. I'm so thankful for Christ- centered businesses that seek to honor God.
What a lovely oasis you created Mary. It looks so relaxing and calm. I love the little dollhouse you received. I’m a huge fan of dollhouses and miniatures ☺️. 💚🤍💚🤍💚🤍
Your trees look lovely. So nice you have family help, and then you are all busy. I love that rug, the outdoor furniture and covered area. That is a fantastic gardening tower. All the plants and flowers make your areas beautiful and homey. It looks relaxing and peaceful.
Love the deck!! So beautiful and relaxing...I smiled when you said raccoon had a snack. All God's creatures have to sneak a snack once in a while. Lol I fed the squirrels peanuts until one morning my fur babies saw the squirrels before I did and they knocked me down 5 steps onto concrete patio!! Broke collarbone so I had to move squirrel feeders on down further away from house...lesson learned I'm excited about the wax melts...I tend to forget I have a candle burning so I'm safer with wax melts Thank you for all you do!!
I've been watching for several years now and still find so much peace and joy in your videos. I love that there always a kitty close at hand too. God bless from Australia.
Mary you are such an amazing person. You are so gifted an talented. What a serene and peaceful space you have made for your family!! Thank you so much for your work an motivation !!
This is nature. I too, do these changes on my gardens and porch . That way I enjoy my ice tea, lemonade drink. I just love this time of the year. Very nice Mary... Enjoy ur patio.
I just love this video! All of the plants and flowers you featured here, today are so beautiful! You are such a calm and creative designer! 💚💛🌹🌷🌺🌸🌼🌻💐💛💚
Mary, even tho you used some of last years decor, it looks soo much more beautiful and cozy! Rearranging our same old items gives a space new life! Absolutely love watching your videos!!! God Bless you n yours! 🙌
Hi Mary! Your deck looks so comfy and inviting! You might want to put some small saucers or something under the pots in the tray you redid to protect the beautiful wallpaper when you water the plants! You are an inspiration to me and all who watch your channel. Thank you!
Mary, I love your videos. Seeing how you use live plants on your decks are just so beautiful, and I love the fountain idea on the deck. I’ll have to try to locate me one of those.😇 Thank you for giving us a few minutes on Wednesday Mornings while we our drink coffee and see your many projects you do.❤️😇
And yes, it’s Friday, but I’ve had several appointments I’ve had to be at, one is for my disabled son who is in Kidney Failure and will be put on a Kidney Transplant List for a kidney and will be soon put on dialysis, so could you please say a Prayer for him. I’ve been very upset and worried for him. Thank you and sorry to share such sad & personal information, but I have been very worried, scared, and upset for him. 🙏
you could use vinyl for the tarp, just overlap the pieces 2" or so and use contact cement, drop cloths also work well, to water proof them just use a good acrylic latex paint or you can use thinned artist grade acrylic and let your muse have fun
Good morning Mary :) I so enjoy watching you set up your outside spaces. I have the same pergola and bamboo water feature, and I love them! I saw your Instagram post on the dollhouse….what an amazing gift! I build dollhouses and do miniatures, and I can tell you, that took a lot of time, and obvious talent….how special!! Have a wonderful day my friend!
Hi Mary, I just wanted to say how peaceful and beautiful your porch came. I would love to spend time there feeling that breeze and hearing those birds, the plants, the water are so cozy. You really do put the finishing touches that make a space special. God bless you and your family 😊
Your deck is by far the prettiest one I've seen on TH-cam this spring. I love a mix of old and new! Wish I could come by and hang out in your lovely space!!! 😁
Hi Mary 🌱 loved the video. I'm so glad you're growing in a GreenStalk vertical garden this year 😍 I've enjoyed your channel for years so it's especially fun to see our family invention in your garden! Happy Gardening! -ashley, GreenStalk Inventor's Daughter
That is my absolute favorite shop in Berlin! We took a ride yesterday and I picked up a few herbs and plants as well. We also went to Walnut Creek Antique Mall and had lunch. It was a beautiful, sunny day and we were thankful!
Just gorgeous! And I love seeing your kitties! So much inspiration! I have no place to sit outside (in my huge yard) so as I watched I resolved to fix something up, THIS WEEKEND! Thank you, Mary. Your space is very special!
Good morning Mary! Your deck is beautiful, peaceful and so tranquil with the water and fire bowl features! The treetops in the background makes it look like you’re in a treehouse! Thank you for the inspiration! May God bless you. 💕
I have two green stalk planters. I have the regular one and the leaf planter. I have them on my back deck/porch. I love them. Such an awesome company. I love the makeover Mary. 🪴🍀🌿
I love that you are always grateful and appreciate when people…strangers, friends or family, do something for you. You don’t have a entitled attitude. We all need that attitude. Thanks for reminded me, to be more thankful
I received my melting wax. It is amazing. Thank you for the great videos, so enjoyable. 🥰🥰

Lively. Only garden lovers understand the hard work it takes to make things match and be comfortable.
Your and your husband look like a great match. I don’t comment much but enjoy watching your energy and creativity.

🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 68 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 ❤ 🎀 ❤ 🎀
You are always working non stop. I cant imagine you even sit for any length of time to enjoy any of this.
I hope you will be able to relax and enjoy your wonderful spaces with your loved ones. The house is a treasure and the lady is so gifted and generous. Look forward to seeing the new sign on the porch. 🐦

What a lovely oasis you've made for you and your family! The furniture and plants certainly make it an outside "room." Well done, Mary!
Love how you use your plants. Love the variety of size pots, plants, etc. Looks like someone made a dollhouse replica of your home! Beautiful work!
Twinkle is so precious! Always happy to have some head rubs! 😇💜
GARDEN OF EDEN!!!!!!! I'M EXHAUSTED WATCHING YOU. LOVE IT!!!

Your idea of using PVC pipe for your water plants is brilliant. What a great back deck setting to hang out in. It’s very inviting.

Hi Mary! Your deck looks so comfy and inviting! You might want to put some small saucers or something under the pots in the tray you redid to protect the beautiful wallpaper when you water the plants! You are an inspiration to me and all who watch your channel. Thank you!
I was just going to write that tip about plant saucers! HaHa
Love watching your videos. Makes me smile to see a kitty in the pictures.

I am with you for plant buying! I too am trying to buy more perennials to build up my gardens.
Absolutely beautiful. Just love it. Everything!
Hi how are you doing?
Mary it looks so calming and relaxing, i love hearing the water and the birds also. My kind of place.

Absolutely love your porch/deck and decorations 💕
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Boy…Ephraim has gotten so tall! I, too, chuckled when he was putting the furniture together 😂
I use mulch in my planters. That helps it to hold moisture and keeps the dirt from splashing out when it rains
Your home and property always seems so peaceful and serene
I want to jump through my computer screen and sit on your deck for awhile!!! Anxious to do something similar in our backyard this summer.
Hello 👋how are you doing?
you could use vinyl for the tarp, just overlap the pieces 2" or so and use contact cement, drop cloths also work well, to water proof them just use a good acrylic latex paint or you can use thinned artist grade acrylic and let your muse have fun
Thank you! You dropped off my YT feed and I’ve really missed them. I love the simple, classic designs and spaces you share with us.
The mini cottage your friend made is SO....cute !
The beautiful back deck where you can hear the voice of birds looks very comfortable! Miniature house is also good. Thanks for the great video

So happy to see you using an electric leaf blower. Gas blowers are so bad for the environment. Always love your videos.
Everything looks so beautiful! You have a lovely place. I could sit out there all day!!!
Your deck is by far the prettiest one I've seen on TH-cam this spring. I love a mix of old and new! Wish I could come by and hang out in your lovely space!!! 😁
