    I look forward to new episodes of Ruth's beautiful home and gardens. I ordered Ruth's Hungry for Home book and it is not only a delightful complication of delicious recipes but also lovely photos of the farm through the seasons. I collect cookbooks and this book is one of my favorites. Thanks, Ruth for sharing your home with all of us.

    Another absolutely wonderful video of Ruth McKeaney & her lovely home and gardens! Love meeting Eileen. What an amazing talent she is gifted with!
    I have Ruth's lovely book and have followed her for a while now. I am still amazed at her stunning property and, of course, her cooking & baking creations!!
    You are inspirational and down to earth...that's what is so awesome about watching her videos!
    PS: Ruth how do you stay so slim with so many buttery & sweet treats you create? I am sure we all would love to know your secret to looking so amazing😘🙏!!
    Thank you Ruth and Homeworthy🥰

    Ruth herself has such a lovely voice. She sounds just like Meg Ryan, which is so nostalgic for me as I grew up watching her movies (especially Anastasia!). Everything about Ruth is so warm, welcoming, and friendly, and she has infused those qualities into her entire home.

    The farm is a labor of love and it shows. I'm excited to see what you do for daughter #2 wedding. I have put your cookbook om my birthday list. Eileen has the ability to see a garden as an artistic painting where plants are her paints. I also appreciate how much work goes into your property.

  • @santinabrothers
    @santinabrothers Před 5 dny +1

    You know what! God is Amazing. I ordered your book about a week ago and I've been binge reading it everyday. Today, I stopped at the page where you have your shortbread recipe. I didn't read the recipe. I closed the book and decided to watch CZcams. Lo and behold, Homeworthy is featuring you today and your shortbread cookies...WOW!!!! When I got your book, I also made your chocolate chip cookies and they are the best cookies I've tasted. I have some frozen in the oven, ready to bake when the sweet tooth hits.
    I love your book, so comforting and soothing. Thank you and God Bless!💞

    What is it about this woman that I love - is she the new Joanna Gaines?? Either way, I want her to be my best friend!! Her home and life style (including everything she wears) is my ultimate dream. Her property is, to me, the absolute best on Homeworthy….and I’ve watched A LOT of their tours. Only two others have come close (a property in England built from a gorgeous renovated stone barn and also a pillow designer’s Southern waterfront property with a gypsy vardos guest house) but nothing has topped Ruth or her stunning, stunning home, which speaks to my soul! I want to move in and never leave. The gathering barn and the gardens are what capture my heart the most but also the woodwork in the house makes me swoon too. I adore the slopped floors, the front door security system, the back staircase, the original windows, the exposed brick and that sexy beast of a kitchen island. I close my eyes and imagine Ruth’s voice in my head and let her (subconsciously) guide me as I try to invoke that utilitarian comfort in the things I choose to bring into my home in an attempt to replicate the feeling I see in her house. I’m thinking maybe if I become her stalker (no, not really), then perhaps some of her classic casualness will rub off on me. LOL
    Anyhoos, I’m a fan! Where do I sign up?

I know you said 350'.. but did you say how long to bake it? Of course , the gardens are breath taking. Starting with so many large established trees is my dream! Everything takes so long to mature in a new garden.

    • @gregpendrey6711
      @gregpendrey6711 Před 6 dny +6

      Hi Suzanne. Slip some shims vertically behind the window box to fur it out from your siding a half inch for air circulation. A liner with a drain through the front an inch from the bottom will prevent the box from rotting for a long time. Hope this helps. Ruth is becoming a presence that has been missing don't you think? Oh, micro drip on a timer is really helpful for folks in sun that need to water twice a day!

    Ma’am, that’s sedum.
    It’s so weird to me that this woman is being positioned as the next Martha Stewart when she doesn’t seem to know what she’s doing at all.
    It’s like asking someone with a full-time house cleaner how she keeps her home spotless. There’s no technique to learn here. The technique is pay a garden designer.
