What a joy to watch you surely and steadily bringing in the harvest and turning it into all manner of delicious and nourishing foods for winter. I know it takes a lot of effort, but you make it look like magic. 🌸🏡🌸 Michele
Thank you Michele, I really appreciate your kindness and friendship. It’s a surreal experience sharing content online, as you no doubt relate to and connecting with like minded friends from all over our planet, is wonderful. I love sharing what I’m doing. Kindest Regards - Elissa
Hi Elissa!! So good to see you. Michele mentioned you in a community post and I thought…oh my goodness…I have to head over an visit her channel. Forgive me for not having been here for awhile. Hope you are doing well!! Love, Mary❤
Hello Mary, it is so lovely to see you here and no apology is needed, I know how busy life is. Thank you for letting me know about Michele’s beautiful post, I wouldn’t want to have missed it as I scrolled past my own video and not realising. It is so wonderful Michele is making more content on RU-vid as she was/is fabulous on Instagram (back when I was over there more regularly, I think when it was just photos 😆) All is fairly well here, keeping warm by the fire. I hope you and your family are all doing wonderfully. Much love Elissa 💕
Everything is looking beautiful Elissa💕 Love those turnips, mine did really well this year too. Your photography is lovely and clear in this video, gorgeous!! Take care xx Cathi xx 😘
Thank you Cathi, it’s such a beautiful time of year to film. It’s interesting to know you have had a good Turnip crop too. I hope all is well on your lovely homestead and thanks for the technical feed back too, much appreciated. Love Elissa 💕
Hey Josh, that Lilly Pilly wine sounds good. I’ve never tried making that…yet. Hope your crops are going well and I’m sorry about Tom and your 2 girls. Many blessings to you Elissa 😊
Thank you David, yes that Turkey is sounding like a good idea.... Maybe Christmas in July (That is a thing here but mostly with restaurants) Otherwise before to many flies come out in the Summer????
Everything in your video looks beautiful. I’d love to taste those tarts, they look delicious! Nice job on the privacy curtain too, it looks elegant in that space. Thanks for sharing and keeping me motivated!
Thank you @alphastarcar the Lilly Pilly Tarts were as delicious as they looked. Thank you for your kind comment, it means a lot and keeps me motivated to create more content. Much appreciated -Elissa 😊
Thanks so much Sian, if you ever visit in the early winter, I’ll make some for you…. I don’t think they would travel by post too well and I don’t think Lilly Pillys grow in the tropics do they? 😊
Yes exactly and quince and crabapples too. It fascinates me how humans cleverly found ways to make them delicious, most probably out of necessity but we can reap the rewards. 💕
@@MoatCottage I often wonder how it was discovered taking certain steps made something taste good. Haven't worked with crabapples before. Do you make an apple sauce out of them?
Once again, I'm not getting notifications! I reset the "bell" - Hopefully that will fix it! It's late Spring here in North Florida, and I'm in the middle of harvesting and canning. So far, peas, squash and green beans, as well as Spring broccoli and kale. I should be harvesting tomatoes soon, and cabbages, and in July, sweet corn. I got very few berries this year. We got an Arctic blast that killed off so much in December, and the final blow was a late frost. Next year will be better! 🥰
Your Arctic Blast is probably similar to our Antarctic Blast, that icy wind 🥶 Despite your lack of berries, (you are exactly right - positivity for next year) It sounds like you have had plenty of successes too, well done! As for our RU-vid challenge, I am not sure why it is happening to you. I am pretty sure I’m doing all the requirements and checking all the right boxes this end. I hope what you’ve done works, so you don’t miss anything.
Would love to hear how you go with processing a Turkey, if you do decide to go down that road for Christmas. I’ve been thinking of adding them to our homestead. A wonderful video, yet again ❤😊
Thank you @helenabaier7823 I do love sharing my panty room with you. You didn’t miss anything, a new home is going up in the paddock next door, where I had my ducks and chickens grazing for a few years. I don’t own the property, so I was grateful for the years I had access to it. There is a housing shortage and many new houses are going up, in small country towns. 😊
Your homestead is beautiful and functional. Mom is going to cosign on a loan to get me a place when she and my sister return home from the Philippines. They are leaving this Tuesday.
G’day Danny and Lori, all is going fairly well on this part of the planet, keeping warm by the fire. I hope all is going well for you both over at ‘Whippoorwill Holler’ (ahhh I can say it so easily now 😂)
