How exiting Paola, look forward to reading it. You bring peace to this older lady in the autumn of her life. 🌈🌺
Aww I’d love to buy it but I have no money at the moment as I’m still relatively young but I’ll definitely buy it if I can!
Your advice always goes to my heart
and it's even changed my life Im sure this book will be amazing as well
I wish I could buy it too but I really can't afford it at this time I'm still a teen Maybe when I can finally get job
I´ve just ordered it and look forward to reading it! ❤️
Thank you for all the love and creativity you spread! You really make the world shine brighter!
Nice
You're almost to 1 million subscribers! It makes me so happy to think about so many people coming to your corner of the internet for nothing more than beauty and peace. It's truly a special thing you've created!
Así es, porq ella es muy muy especial🙏💜
Aw! Thank you 🥰
@@TheCottageFairy Soooo very deserved . . . allll of it Paola.
Someone 'has' to have it and you are the chosen one, haha.
A million ++ subs was on your trajectory from the very start.
Be well . . . enjoy it all.
City folk have become constant voyeurs into rural living. I see it everywhere online. We're "deplorable" hillbillies, but hey we're the envy of the world now.
Paola so deserves every sub plus more. She's an amazing inspiring person who is very open and honest about difficulties in her Journey ❤️🙏
She is a fairy indeed and dreams do materialize. When I was a child I was going through some hard time and as an escape, I used to draw again and again the same picture. It was a small fairytale cottage with red shingles, a green roof, white windows and shutters and a huge stone chimney. It was among the mountains, by a lake, surrounded by a stream with plenty of fish, and with a forest in the background. There were dragonflies, butterflies, bluejays, chipmunks and flowers all over. Decades later, my husband and I were looking for a small cottage, and we searched and searched for about three years but nothing was appealing to me. Unconsciously, I was looking for the magical cottage I used to draw during my childhood. And one day, at the turn of a tiny country road, here it was, the exact same cottage I used to draw, with the red shingles and green roof and white windows and shutters and the stone chimney and the stream with fish, and the forrest and the lake. And it was for sale at a price we could afford. We planted an array of flowers. But, what was even more unbelievable, were the bluejays, the chipmunks, butterflies and dragonflies all over. So, yes, I believe in magic.
Awww 🥺
It must be so wonderful 🥰 and memorable for you
Oh my goodness. I am getting goosebumps reading this. But this is what manifestion is all about. Not that that was your goal all those years ago. I am so glad that you were blessed with your fairytale cottage and that it brings you many happy years living in it. 💕
dreams do come true♥️happy for you!
This is beautiful ❤️
This sounds so magical 😍
I have to admit this is kind of embarrassing, but as I listen to you talking about "things not working our way", and "moments that you're not so sure about", I felt this urge to confess something that happened to me when I watched one of your videos.
A little over 6 months ago I was at my lowest, feeling unbelievably frustrated with my achieviements in life. It was on a regular day after work - the source of most of my concerns that time, that i started watching one of your videos... I believe it was "the beauty of an ordinary life".
I don't quite remember the exact words you said there, but I do remember pausing the video and kneeling at the floor. I cried such painful tears... I let out my frustrations and, maybe, I was forgiving myself for not being all I was hoping to be. It's a difficult memory, and as I go by your feed now, I can see I was only able to watch half of the video - maybe that was the breaking point for me.
Now it's a full circle moment. The achievments I, then, could never reach, are even shy when it comes to what I was able to conquer along the months that came after that. Maybe I had to forgive myself, express some kindness and allow myself to find peace that... I was where I had to be.
So.. yeah. Needed to share that. What you do is important. I'll always be here :')
I love you
I love you too.❤️🌻
@@julieanna8495 you are from my dear
You're NOT alone,dear!!
Thank you for being vulnerable with us here ❤️ Wishing you all the joy will be next to you 🫰🏻
This woman exudes feminine energy, so much so that I find myself (a masculine woman) coming back to her true self just by watching. Thank you 💕
Same i am a masculine woman who takes lessons in softening from ppl like this lovely lady
😘😙Rained at my wedding too 36 years ago 😣As we were exchangeing our vows the sun came beaming down thru the dark clouds.😆36 years later we r Still together😍
I read a few weeks ago ..Rain on your wedding day is good luck because it signifies that your marriage will last. As you know, a knot that becomes wet is extremely hard to untie - therefore, when you “tie the knot” on a rainy day, your marriage is supposedly just as hard to unravel! 🥰
Wow I didn't know that. Now I hope it rains on my wedding day too ☺️
In my culture, rain on any celebration signifies fertility, blessedness and multiplication (bounty). Thus, on a wedding day rain signifies fruitfulness and divine beauty of the union.
Good to know, It did rain when I got married , is been 10 years
It rained the whole week and a little the rehearsal night before our wedding. The morning of, the sun came out and shown in the stained glass windows of the pretty Church we had the wedding at. I immediately found out I had a medical issue the wedding night! But we are still together and it has made us stronger! Still praying for babies! Congrats on your wedding! Love your home and especially all the wildflowers and plants!!
@Lacuna_matata_92 Awww what a wonderfully sweet thing to share…such a beautiful and uplifting omen for love. 🙏🏽 thank you
I love how softly feminine you are. Like you seriously exude kindness and gentleness through your personality and the way you edit and film your videos. So lovely :)
I honestly and sincerely hope that her new husband "Luke" realizes how unbelievably fortunate he is.
A video to break away from the world, even for just a bit. Thank you so much for creating a channel where I can feel relaxed, and where I can appreciate the kindness that you give freely and wholeheartedly.
Absolutely agree!
Aww.. so so true...🥺💝
100 percent agree 💯 it's nice to escape from the busy hustle of weekly life with these calming videos that inspire and bring us back to nature. ❤ love this channel. reminds me to go outside and enjoy nature
What a lovely comment… you have a way with words 🤍
Sage you states the same words I thought. It’s truth, ‘cause I live in a big City all my lifetime & have never had the opportunity to live in a small town or rural places. It’s beautiful with humbling I admire Mrs. Paola courageous ways.🙏
24 years old, single and depressed in utter loneliness. Never had a relationship. Your videos have saved my sanity too many a time. Thank you for showing that there's hope.
With Love.
Moe, if you haven’t anyone with whom to chat about your concerns, I encourage you to do so. Sending you a friendship hug. ❤️
Single can be a blessing if you'll let it. I used to not want to be alone, but my marriage did not turn out well. Try 17 years of mental abuse. If I could do over again ... I would not marry. And at 65 have no plans to every marry again. Because I find the single life a real blessing. And will never let the words, When in doubt...Don't do it. Go by the way side. Also finding your special person does not mean happiness. Do not rely on another to make you happy, instead find happiness in yourself and things around you. Hope this helps😊💟💟
@@sitresjolie2343 thank you so much ! =)
@@sitresjolie2343 Thanks for the advise and your kindness. I'll try to think of it that way but its so hard
@Moe A you still are young at 24 ! keep searching, discover yourself, your passions, enjoy life with your loved ones
one day you'll find 🤍
In native culture hummingbirds are a symbol of joy! Sounds like you got a hummingbird blessing!
Rain on your wedding day means a happy marriage! But that’s not a consolation at the time, I know.
I love the space around your cottage. I really want that, too, at some point. But as you point out, it’s not always plain sailing.
And btw I adore your jumpsuit and you look lovely in it!
Congratulations on your wedding! My husband and I just celebrated our 45th anniversary in March and I can tell you that you cannot control everything in life and the sooner you learn to roll with the unexpected things, the better off you will be. You have the right attitude and will do well. When we were expecting our first baby way back in the 70's, women didn't get ultrasound exams. I was due at the end of July and in the middle of May, I went into labor and had premature twin girls. Needless to say that was a shock. Instead of one healthy baby, we got two sick babies and were totally unprepared on every level. So we learned very early on to roll with the unexpected because sometimes out of the unexpected comes joy. It made us stronger and taught us how to work together as a team and how to be selfless. Had things gone to our plan, I doubt we would have matured as quickly as we did nor would we have learned to work together as well as we did. Good on you for finding the positives! Hope you have a very happy life together.
Loved reading this! I truly believe we are never given more than we can handle. The human spirit and ability to adapt always amazes me. I'm 23 and it's interesting to me how many people my age yearn for yesteryear. Sometimes I find myself having nostalgia for time periods I didn't live in which is quite bizarre...then read things like not getting ultrasounds and realise I am definitely born in the right time period haha. However I think this era presents a lot of challenges to young people that our elders have no idea how to navigate, so much is brand new. BUT wisdom is eternal. The fundamental transitions and challenges humanity face are actually age old, just recycling in new forms. That's why I find Paola so refreshing, she's not a carbon copy, she's just herself in evolution and growth and willing to share it with the world. From my perception, youth culture has become increasingly obsessed with being a monolith, which is interesting given how individualist and selfish so many aspects of the West are. In your view were there parts of the 70s/80s that you think were positive which have not been held onto to?
Thank you so much for sharing your inspiring story, I feel like its so rare nowadays that two people decide to spend so many years together as a married couple. For me, that sounds like the definition of true love. Staying together and supporting each other even in hard times. Wishing you truly the best for the next years.
@@matrix2297 Thank you for your comment. You sound like a very mature, intelligent and perceptive young lady. I too, think young people are facing challenges that my generation never had to deal with and frankly, I am very grateful to have been born when I was. I don't know if I could navigate being a young person today, however, everything is relative and if you don't know anything else, then I guess you can't miss what you never experienced. Some things are better today, but I think many are not and most of it revolves around technology. We have 4 daughters who are 27, 33, 45 and 45 and I see such a difference between the first two and the youngest, despite being raised the same way by the same parents and I can't help but think it is the influence of the times we live in. The 70s and 80s were not perfect, but I feel they were much more innocent times on many levels. Everything was simpler. No Pinterest style parties and showers. No CZcams makeup videos. (something my 20 yo granddaughter watches constantly and she spends a fortune on makeup) And I didn't know anyone who used a planner and planned their life down to the last detail. TV shows were better and more family oriented and you would watch TV together as a family a lot of the time. Where I grew up, there were deep rooted traditions that were observed community wide and a moral code that most every one lived by. People weren't offended by every little thing. There was no doubt about right and wrong and if you choose wrong, there were consequences. There were more 2 parent families back then and you had to earn what you wanted in school and in life. No participation trophies. And schools were much better back then as well. I pulled my youngest two kids out of school in 2000 and homeschooled them because I didn't like what I was seeing in our public school and I feel for my kids that are having to deal with kids in public school today. If given the choice of living today or back then, I would go back in a heartbeat because I think things were just less complicated on many levels.
@@albertstraumVLOG Thank you so much!!!! We are the oddballs, even among our friends. Life hasn't been perfect or easy. We have had many, many ups and downs over the years and at times, it would have been easy to just walk away. But we didn't. We just got up each morning and did what we had to do to get through that day and somehow we have ended up here, 45 years down the road.
@@cackleberrycottage2340 Thats really admirable! Love is hard work.
I just wanted to say I think your channel is amazing! I found you a couple days ago and have binged just about every episode. I suffer from mental illness and I'm a recovering addict and watching this really brings joy to my life. Please keep these coming cuz I believe they help a lot of people. Never change for anybody! And keep up the good work 🐝🌺
so glad, you are recovering!
Thank you so so much ❤️
Welcome to our magical family friend😊💟🌷🌸🌷🌸🌷and wishing you many happy moments ahead.
welcome🌸🌸 You will love all the videos they are so relaxing and peaceful🌺🌺
Susan you can watch this channel also which may help you BKSHIVANI
25 Years old is pretty young. You have your whole life ahead of you! God bless!
It rained on my wedding day. My husbands grandmother told us ‘ it’s lucky to rain on your wedding day. Think of the saying , tying the knot, a wet knot can never be untied’
June 7th I will have been married 59 years. I hope your life is blessed also. If you need advice, I'm here. Remember, husbands are weird creatures! lol
Congratulations on 59 years of marriage coming up☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡ My Precious neighbors were married for almost 74 years♡♡♡ WOW!!! Can you imagine? GOD BLESS Y'ALL ♡♡♡
@@gemmaavary4996 Bless you too Sweetheart.
Wow that is so beautiful
Our dear from other side coming to visit us in a form of birds or butterflies 🕊️🦋
One of the local hummingbirds came by and stared at me a few days ago, to remind me to fill the feeder, they always do this and I love it. Naturally, I obey! Embarrassingly, I thought they were called “honeybirds” until after I got married! I had never heard one in person, I only had seen photos of them feeding on “honey” nectar. Since moving to my creekside location, I enjoy seeing lots of them, and have several hummingbird art pieces around. I still often call them honeybirds by mistake, I’m 62 now but it stuck in my mind for my first 25 years.
This channel is a little corner of happiness and peace on the Internet.
🥰 don't you just love the sound of saying my husband
Why we always looking for something to reach, if we are RICH inside, because we have all this beauty of the world! 💚 💚 💚
Así es Lina!! 🙏💜
Making ice cream brought back wonderful memories. My dad would make ice cream for us when we went on a picnic. That very same hand turn ice cream maker. Us kids would all take turns turning the ice cream. Such a lovely memory for me. This was in the 50's as I'm 71 years old 😊 I love your channel.
Married is the beautiful thing you have in the life
You are truly a Earth Angel 😇 ❤️
I just gave birth to a baby girl 17 days ago and listening to your calm voice let’s her fall asleep so peacefully 💕
Congratulations on the birth of your baby Girl☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡
@@gemmaavary4996 thank you so much. I’ve never been in love as much as I am now
Congrats😘
Hummingbirds have a very special place in my heart too. They brought me into wildlife photography and created even more special moments and awareness into my life. 🥰
I believe the heavens and nature were delighted and happy to join your special wedding day hence the wild life, humming bird and the unexpected yet 'accurate timings' of the rain -not spoiling your plans -but showing their excitement to your beautiful day. You're a true fairy to them all ...🧚♀️
You always remind me to be great ful for the most simple things in life and release all the clutter in my head
It rained on my wedding too - and we are still happily married almost 35 years later. Maybe it is good luck xx
Congratulations on almost 35 years of marriage ♡♡♡ GOD BLESS Y'ALL ♡♡♡ Have The Most Amazing Beautiful Blessed Peaceful night ♡♡♡
Today I went to a funeral for my friends baby. It was a hard day. I’m crying watching you make ice cream. I feel a strange peace watching you. Im able to mourn a loss and appreciate the beauty of life in a single moment. Thank you for the peaceful videos and sharing such beauty with the world.
*Sun, rainbow, humming bird..*
*Why would they not bless a fairy like you? They came all the way to make your day magical.* 💙🌿🌸
Dandelion fluff is floating all over my yard. I wait to mow the backyard until all the flowers turn into puffballs so the bees have a chance to collect all they can. Now the chairs in the grass are seat high in abundant green and puffy fluff. Love the color of the lilac ice cream. Lilac grows all over town here in Montana. You open the door in the morning and the scent is heavenly. Love all the varieties of flowers you have in Washington. Praying for you and for us that there will be no fires this summer💕Cathy
Congratulations! Nice to watch in the morning and relax to your soothing voice.
That wasn't raining Paola it was a tears of joy from the heavens for both of you
Hummingbirds and rainbows seem like very auspicious blessings. Congratulations on your next chapter of life.
These flower fields are so gorgeous at your place 😯💚 And your paintings 😍
abonniert, lieben Gruß aus der Oberpfalz
@@RitaMI Liebe Grüße aus Bayern! 🤗
Rain means abundance 💗🙌🏻 the sun after a rain is absolutly beautiful 😍
This town is so quiet, don't fight, don't rush to do your own thing slowly.
That ice cream maker brings back such wonderful memories of childhood in the summer
I love the message “let go and embrace”
🙏💜Y a mi!! 🤗
It poured on our wedding day...but I still had a smile on my face with the changes. Pinning up my dress and wearing my Mother's white coat to get to the church. I also bought 'go go' ( the 60's) white boots in case of snow and then wore them for rain!. Married 38 wonderful years and certainly saw the good luck. 😘 Blessoings to you & Luke in your new married life 💐❤
Congratulations on 38 Wonderful years of marriage ♡♡♡ GOD BLESS Y'ALL ♡♡♡
It rained all day the day my husband and I got married but the sun came out as we got to the church. I’ve heard that rain on your wedding day is good luck. We will be married 50 years in July!
Romanians believe the same as your relatives: the rain at a wedding time means lots of blessings! So, I'm so happy for you!
There a word All things work for the good. So when a challenge you face go through it something good comming from your challenge your way. Great video.
Dear Paola
I’m so thrilled that you’re making lilac icecream. I’ve seen recipes for lilac jelly and I could imagine you making that and loving it as well. Lavender makes a beautiful icecream as well and lavender infused honey is divine.
I love that your hummingbird blessed your wedding to Luke with its presence, and you had a rainbow. With all three of our babies, a rainbow 🌈 appeared every time we were bringing them home.
Joy and blessings to you and Luke. I’m looking forward to when your book is published. 💗
Poured on our wedding too! 😄 I was so upset and people kept telling me you will be rich, that’s what rain means, rain brings wealth! 😘
My mom used to say that when hummingbird comes, they want to tell you that your loved ones are happy.
I would like to have your ice cream recipe!
Sending love!
Hoping that you will read this.
I suffered with throut pain for many years. Found that staying away from all dairy took care of the issue.
Lots of love from Denmark. ❤🇩🇰🕊
Si Helen, tienes toda la razón, los lácteos crean moco, y no dejan curar bien, saludos desde españa, un gran consejo🙏💜
Did you get tonsil stones...I get them and it leads to throat pain. They seem to form more often when I drink/eat dairy products. I switched to just drinking water and I don't get them as much now.
@@joshpatrick8809 yes, I had Them removed when I was 16....if only I had known...
Hope you & Luke have a great future together in your new home. 🙂
I love the fact that you take off your shoes before entering your house, if only people knew how much dirt they can bring in their home by having their shoes on as they enter their house. I love your house and your town. It’s heavenly beautiful❤❤❤
Hummingbirds are considered joy in Mayan culture I believe, so much joy to you and your husband.
Your watercolor reminded me of St. Melangell, a 7th century Irish saint who is the patron of small animals, especially rabbits. Icons of her often feature a rabbit in her arms.
That's amazing how the sun broke through the rain clouds, a hummingbird and rainbow all graced your wedding! It was magical just like your creative imagery of fairies, bunnies, and flowers. Your woodland fields of flowers and secret garden of your home just adds to the magic. Enjoy! jenny
Your wedding sounds so much like Anne of Green Gables! She had rain too, but then the sun came out at just the right time. I believe there may have been a rainbow involved as well. 😊🌈
Rain during your wedding day means good luck in both Scotland and Norway too. 💖
Congratulations on your wedding and life of marriage may the Lord bless you both with a home & heart filled with His peace, laughter & an abundance of love
Best wishes and many blessings from the tropical island Asia!🌏🏝️
The happiest day you will never forget.
My Mum always said "mariage pluvieux, mariage heureux", (yes, I'm French), meaning: rainy wedding, happy marriage ! 💖💗💝
Looks to me like it couldn't have been more perfect 🐞🦋🐦🌧🌦☀️🌈
Wishing you lots of happiness 😍
I think we’re expecting some rain here next Saturday. Thankfully, my wedding is indoors, and we also have sayings about rain on a wedding day being lucky. 😊
Love your art.
You were blessed in so many ways on your wedding day. The rain, the rainbow, sunrays, little animals and hummingbird all are considered lucky omens. So it seems that your Wedding was affirmed by all nature and your families. Congrats again. Love to see you creating so many beautiful lovely things..you are so blest.
I had an Italian family visit our home specifically to see our hummingbirds. We had about 40 that year and they would sit on your finger to feed. Europe and no other continents in the world have hummingbirds only the Americas. They took hundreds of photos.
They do say rain on your wedding day is good luck! When my daughter got married it was like a monsoon rain. I couldn’t believe it. It didn’t bother my daughter at all and it was a lovely wedding!🙏🏻😘
Hello 🤩 beautiful Paola. Enjoy married life, it's beautiful x
I’m going to get married early may next year and the wedding venue organizer reassured us that a wet knot is stronger than a dry one! Your wedding sounded so magical and like the perfect beginning to a marriage full of life’s varieties. Congratulations! 🌷
We had a light rain on my wedding day ☺️ I was married in December and was grateful that my guests were not snowed out from being able to make the drive.
Paola, my wedding day we had heavy rain, as I left for the church all of a sudden the sun came out and after the ceremony we walked out of the church and the sunshine was still there for us. After the reception, the heavens opened up, people had traveled and actually couldn’t make the drive home, and had to get hotel rooms, it was that awful… well to make a long story short the rain did bring us LUCK , my husband and I just celebrated our 50th Anniversary ❤️
You are glowing, you seem so happy, “Enjoy The Now” time goes so by quickly, I feel like it was just yesterday I was that 20 year old glowing bride.. ❤️🌸❤️🌸❤️
Congrats on your recent wedding. I wish you all the best for a beautiful life together.
I can’t imagine being surrounded by so much natural beauty. I’m just in awe. 💕
Photos of your family are gorgeous.
Hello from a twin mother. You bring me such joy and such hope when I listen to you talking and watching all your creativity. What a beautiful soul you have. My one daughter is so much like you. Thank you so much for allowing me to share a small part of your unique journey in life. 🤗💐🌹🏵
I was so saddened to hear the sad news about Mr Darcy. My thoughts and love are with you.
When I went to Vancouver to study there for a couple of months, I fell deeply in love with humming birds. They are very precious and they woke my passion for birds up. Your anecdote is beautiful.
Lots of love,
Christelle
I loved that you shared a few images and I understand the desire for privacy and intimacy - would love to see more images of the wedding if you choose to share in the future! Congratulations! I was 25 when I married, and it rained on our wedding day. Our 20th anniversary is in October! =) 3 beautiful children later and 20 years of ups and downs - but let's say the rain blessed us! =)
The little birds were a sign of the Divine that everything will be okay, Thank You for sharing with us I love watching everything that you do from cooking to gardening. And all the creative things in between.
You look very happy and at peace and I wish you all the best..
🕊P💝L🙏B
I find it very impressive you’ve stuck to your word of not doing ads in your videos, especially with the sheer volume of followers that you have you could be making a lot of money but you aren’t sacrificing what your videos mean to you for money (probably why your channel has exploded!)
Congratulations to you and your husband. May the Lord bless your union with your heart's desires. You looked absolutely beautiful.🌼🌺🌸. Thank you for a Sunday Treat..enjoyed the calming and soothing video as always..
Good to see you so fulfilled!
The day you described, according to Old Wives Tales, was just perfect: rain, sunshine, rainbow : PERFECT for your married life full of blessings!
Your voice is calm, charming ..you are such an inspiration. Love to wath all your video .keep doing
It maybe the nature's special arrangement forming temporary clouds and showering to purify the place before the wedding. Magical weather and variety of emotions reinforced the memory of the day eternal for you.
The floral ice cream with lilac syrop must be magically delicious!
I can't wait to see your book to become available.
Thank you as always for the joyful and peaceful videos and arts.
Please take care.
The perfumed scent of the lilacs is my favorite childhood memory. Magical 😍
Hope you enjoy your married life forever!
Start living at 30. Get back after losing everything. Love this positivity on this channel. 🕊️💗💗💗💗💗
I have started having cranberry hibiscus tea each day here in Bujumbura, Burundi. I just had a UTI, and found that this plant was in my side yard and could have really helped me to heal without medication! It has such a lovely taste and color. Thank you for the inspiration to look at plants differently!
Hi Joy how are you doing today
Those Lilacs are gorgeous. I LOVE Lilacs. One of my favorite flowers and absolutely my favorite scent.
That is a sign - the clouds parting and the sun coming out - the heavens blessed your union 💖 It would've been wonderful whatever had happened, but these events were so sweet.
Oh, the color of the ice cream is just lovely! So happy for you with your enchanted wedding day. I, too, love to watch the floating bits through the dreamy air. Thanks for sharing.
I love Lilac so much. My parents used to have 2 massive lilac trees in our old house garden. Everytime I find a Lilac tree, the smell brings back so much memories.
I think the rain and the rainbow and the hummingbird are special little signs from the universe and I love that you were able to embrace the unexpected
So beautiful, thank you for sharing your precious memories ❤️❤️
Wonderful your take on the wedding and being so rooted in the natural world. Best wishes as you both move forward!
Hello Hannah how are you doing today
My (new) husband and I just got back from our honeymoon in Utah, and there were beautiful mountain flowers similar to the ones you show here! It was magical indeed. Funnily enough, we had a 1/2 inside, 1/2 outside reception after our inside ceremony. Naturally, even though the forecast predicted NO RAIN, it rained! And rained…and rained even harder. Our music moved inside so we could continue to dance, so it worked out well in the end. But I was definitely starting to panic during the music break, as some of our guests began to leave and I’d hardly heard a few songs! You looked beautiful, so happy, and I wish you two the best! 💞
Congratulations on your marriage.
Magic is always happening, we find a way. Thank you for sharing your heart.
All I can say is how lovely to be out doors and see all of God’s most magnificent beauty and to see you in the middle of all those flowers and painting your precious paintings! Thank you Paola 💕
Amen and Amen ♡♡♡
You brought natural happiness with you during this time we needed! Thank you for sharing Simple pleasures!
Oh your family is beautiful. And how lovely for a hummingbird to drop in. They are gorgeous birds
Not only you are beautiful but the people the community here too this is wonderful
Paola, you are such a lovely soul. You remind me a bit of a modern day Beatrix Potter. I just ordered the package you referenced and look forward to seeing it in person. Congratulations again to you and Luke…wishing you much love and joy always.
Your icecream looked wonderful! That is so exciting that you are writing/illustrating your own book!! I can hardly wait to read it. 💖
Wow, actual wild tulips!! What a lucky woman you are!! And the lilac shrubs! Glorious!
Paola, I really have to eat before watching your videos because you are always making delicious, sweet treats. (My Achilles heel! 😒)
I have only seen one hummingbird in my life, and it was so fast that once it left, I realized that it was a hummingbird! I have put out a hummingbird feeder, but there has been no action. I did hang a new bird feeder in the front yard and FINALLY today I saw six cardinals at the same time!! Wow! One cardinal was on the trunk of my car! The best part of my day so far! 😊
