Was anyone else watching this video thinking husband of the year award goes to John?? You two are the most hard working people! Everything looks lovely, Mary!! 💐🌼🌺💐

@Earthy-Artist 2 дня назад

By today's standards Mary & John both look as though they've been constantly at the gym, but no gym needed when doing good old fashioned hard work and it's also free, no membership fees required!

@evelynsmiley4950 2 дня назад

You two so work together so wonderfully God Bless

@oreobenavidez953 2 дня назад

I definitely agree what a hard working team my husband watches useless videos all day I literally have to pull his carcuss out to do something 😂

@grettalafata3347 2 дня назад

I'm laughing because I was totally thinking the same exact thing! Amazing! Such hard working people for sure! They don't make them like that anymore. We all hire out the work or just not do it. God Bless John and Mary! Lovely, sweet, hard working individuals.... just amazing! Everything looks sooooo beautiful! Wow.

This is how me and my husband works, almost every day!

@imaginethat2003 3 дня назад

When we were 16, I told my future husband I wanted a white picket fence. 16 years later, after finding our forever property, he and our 13 year old son built me a fence for mothers day. Our son is 45 now, and the fence needed to be replaced. I cried like a baby when my husband took it down. He said he'll build me another one, and I would love it if our son did this with him.

You two are the hardest working people I swear. Just incredible. But Mary.....solar lights in your rock garden. That would give you something to look at in the evenings.

WOW, WOW, WOW Mary, how lovely your rock wall, picket fence and flower bed turned out. Lots of work but so worth it. I know you realize how blessed you are to have a husband like John who is willing to help create your visions. Bravo John and Mary.

@suemussatto3543 3 дня назад

Gosh Mary....so much work goes into landscaping and John did such a great job. You two created a beautiful, beautiful sloping rock garden and picket fence flower garden. I ❤your videos Mary and I do indeed remember spring houses. My grandparents had a farm....some of my best memories.

@maryellenhilli2343 3 дня назад

My poor husband is the same way. I lay there at night and think of all these things to do and then he does them for me. We are lucky girls.❤

@marshapeckham1454 3 дня назад

@Earthy-Artist 2 дня назад

My husband often doesn't understand my 'vision' for future projects, projects usually stress him out. I do a lot of them on my own.

@sheila003d 2 дня назад

I was going to say John works hard but has the bobcat as a bonus tool! Giving my hubby husband of the year, he dug out grass and we laid gravel and flagstone on our own for a fire pit patio- it was a lot of physical, manual labour for 3 weeks!

@lynnecowart707 2 дня назад

Yes, we are blessed! As I sit here watching this wonderful video, my husband is in the next room remodeling our kitchen! ❤

@SheilaE1953 День назад

I’m also blessed with a hubby who brings my ideas to fruition and we’re 2 days away from celebrating our 51st wedding anniversary ❤️

@theresaburg5881 3 дня назад

I can't believe he did all of that himself-those are heavy rocks. Looks beautiful and matches the garden/stairs in the background.

@nelsongoucher476 3 дня назад

You have a wonderful husband. He sets a great testimony of how a husband takes care of his wife. The border looks wonderful! 13:22

@lynnetteb4784 3 дня назад

It’s so nice watching John work! I’m single so it’s nice to daydream about having a husband like that who takes such pride in his work. You both are such hard workers!! God bless you

@ritaromine9856 3 дня назад

You are very fortunate to have such a talented husband to do these projects. Two very talented people.

@jocelynedesrochers732 3 дня назад

Wow Mary, you stay up at night being creative and John sleeps to get energy to give life to your dreams. What beautiful work, as always. Thank you for sharing everything you do. My husband and I love watching. 🥰

@fromhumblebeginnings7798 3 дня назад

Isn't it the simple dreams realized that have the most impact!? I never told my husband the little things I wanted. He would come up with ideas and we'd decide. He always managed to make my dreams come true, one way or another. I will never forget those feelings of pure joy - that is what I saw on your face, Mary, when you had the fence up and plantings done. Those are life moments....

@lindacummings6921 3 дня назад

. With your vision, and your husbands willingness (and brawn) to help make it possible,, you have created two gorgeous additions to your landscape.

@nangel270 3 дня назад

What a lovely transformation! You won’t have to bribe - your loving husband will be happy to execute your vision for you.

@annbailey311 3 дня назад

I’ve always been impressed with your energy and vision. But Johns talents and ability are equally so. And being big and strong and handsome don’t hurt either. You two are the perfect couple in my eyes.

@angelikawalsh6006 3 дня назад

It all looks so beautiful. You are truly blessed to have a husband that helps you the way he does. Enjoy it all. And thank you for sharing. God is good. ❤

@jeanniehenrichs1897 3 дня назад

A rock”stack” wall also echoes the look of your steps in the back ground, very cohesive!!! Good choice!

@nmp6338 3 дня назад

John, you are a master mason. The transformation to that nondescript driveway is magnificent. That certainly was a lot of hard work. Your attention to detail is exemplary. Once the flowers fill in, it’s going to be a showpiece area.

@rebeccafrancis8227 3 дня назад

How blessed you are to have a man that can do all that landscaping and is willing to!!! So pretty!! Your home and grounds are just beautiful!!

@phyllisgrossetti4511 3 дня назад

@cryslynnstalents2647 3 дня назад

That’s what you call a labor of love. Your husband loves you so much. Make sure you take good care of him in all things. It turned out beautiful! ❤

@lorrem2539 3 дня назад

I bet John is really good at puzzles! He laid those rocks so perfect, finding just the right ones for each space! Makes me wish I lived on rock, haha!

@karenorlando8330 3 дня назад

Oh Mary! I absolutely love the awesome transformation you and John did to your driveway area! The rocks look beautiful and tie in so nicely with the steps that he did previously. I just love watching the 2 of you working together!❤ I’m glad your dream became reality with your picket fence…it adds even more beauty to your property. You are so blessed to have your sister, who’s so talented in flower gardening, living so close and being so generous and helpful.❤ you are showing your kids what “true family” is all about! God bless all of you!

@bethaquino5217 2 дня назад

So fortunate to have John!! Wonderful job he did. My husband passed in December and not having him here to help in the yard is emotional! I had the idea and he put it in place… like your husband! God bless you both!

@shareenstone6673 3 дня назад

Whst an awesome project. Love how the new area looked with the step area on the hill. Everybody needs a John for projects like these. He is a treasure and you two do such great things on your property. The picket fence area is wonderful.

I have several of Marlene's plants growing like crazy in my garden! I haven't ordered anything for about a yr because i may move closer to my daughter who lives in the next state east of me. However you can bet i will be " shopping at Marlene's" once i move! I was so impressed how fast she shipped my items. I had them in my hands in less than 2 weeks! That is impressive considering how long many sellers take on etsy. Please give my best to Marlene 🧤🧤🧤🧤

@DonnaF1556 3 дня назад

I was unaware Mary that Marlene sold her flowers on Etsy. Does she youtube too? What is the address. Donna

@jgg7377 2 дня назад

Me too, I would love to order some plants, I think everything turned out so pretty and could see some creeping phlox and plumbago growing over the rocks.

@deirdregahansuttle5698 3 дня назад

Lucky to have a stronge hubby to help. I am like you and make all the plans n my hubby would help. Unfortunately he has Leukemia n is unable to help now. So I'll just enjoy your projects now.. IRELAND

@cherylmiller7208 3 дня назад

Mary you are extremely blessed to have a wonderful husband like John. Does he ever complain? You two are amazing! The driveway and the picket fence is beautiful! Will you always have to water only with watering cans or can a hose reach as that would be a lot of work in the heat of the summer! Gorgeous though and would be worth it. Have a blessed day. Tell John he always does an excellent job! 👏🙏❤️🤍💙🇺🇲

@terrigodfrey8260 3 дня назад

Great gardeners have endless imaginations and strong backs! Your projects remind me of my husband and I over 50 years, planting, reimagining, changing and beautifying our own 2 acres. A labor of joy.

@staciawoods9577 3 дня назад

Love this and seeing you both work together. Brings back such wonderful memories when my husband and I were younger and did projects together to help beautify our home! I can see why you are each other’s forever partner. ❤

@diannehiggs 3 дня назад

What a gorgeous addition to your already beautiful garden. And to use the abundance of rocks, which so many people see as a negative part of their landscape, in such a beautiful way is inspiring. The cost of buying rocks would be exorbitant!!!! Can't wait to see the spring house as I know you and John will make it happen.

@AnnoftheNorthernPlains 3 дня назад

I love the variety of projects you share with us! I am always inspired to try something new - you have me obsessed now with furniture transfers! - and I appreciate how you speak with such respect for your husband and gratitude for his help and input when you want to work on something. That attitude is often missing these days when women are chatting and I always notice when a wife builds up her husband so thank you for that as well as sharing all your wonderful ideas and creativity.

@laurieg2436 3 дня назад

I always dreamed of a white picket fence as well. ♥️

@beverlylones9552 3 дня назад

It looks amazing!❤️❤️❤️🌱🪴🌿☘️🍀

So beautiful! My husband and I also landscape with rocks a neighbor lets us harvest from his rock creek. We live in extreme So. IL and I come from many generations of farmers in this area. We have the Shawnee Nat. Forest on two sides of us and bottom land on the other two sides. Your home always reminds me of ours…so I have pulled much inspiration from you! I only wish I had a master gardener sister like you do😊

What a fantastic idea Mary. I have something similar in my garden but every time I plant between the rocks they die. So recently somebody suggested to plant succulents so I am collecting some to put them out hope they finally I have something does not die on me. Absolutely love your white picket fence. 🎉🎉🎉 Everything is STUNNING. ❤ Thank you for the inspiration. Love to have the white picket fence too. See if I can wing it.😊

@beverlyholmes9136 3 дня назад

As I watch you install your white picket fence I keep saying to the screen " raise this sections up higher out of the soil!". The wood will rot faster touching the soil, than if lifted an inch or so higher. Plants will cover the space from view anyway. Ask me how I know ☹️. Good luck from another "rock and picket fence lover!" 😁

@pattymartin1496 День назад

I grew up in Ohio, and watching your videos makes me homesick. Our South Carolina clay soil is such a challenge to work with it makes me envious watching you. Even the grass there seems to be a richer green. Thanks for the vicarious experience you share with us!

Hi Mary, we did a rock garden on our front hill. I wish that we had put in those little tiny stones first, because we do have grasses growing up between the rocks. You will absolutely love it as the plants fill in and I’m so excited about your picket fence project. The Lord has really blessed you with people being generous and sharing their unwanted things with you for you to turn into some beautiful. What a lovely view for you while you’re washing dishes and working in your kitchen I’m so happy that you have so many materials on your property and that John is willing Helper to your inspirations, thank you for bringing Beauty into our lives and inspiring us to do the same thing❤❤❤
