  • In this weeks video I'm finally starting to make the garden pretty! I build planter boxes and fill them with beautiful flowers. I also take down the trail camera I installed weeks ago to check if there's any wildlife visiting the property. Subscribe to follow along on my tiny house and country life journey!

      Thank you for your lovely comment ❤️ I love sharing my days with you and I love that you share the same likes. How is the weather at your place now? No spring at all? We have had some storms the last few days, so hopefully the weather will be better next week! 🌼

    Hi Nikky! That planter box turned out beautiful! I absolutely love flowers of any kind. Such a beautiful assortment. I see it is windy there. Those horses are loving running. SO beautiful. You are getting so much done, and it looks great. We are still in a slow spring, some days are almost hot, and then today I have my heat turned on again. I'm like you I am so ready for warm weather. I love the music you pick out, so lovely. I still cannot get over how big your land is, so amazing. If I could get out of the city I would do it in a heart beat! That bird is big! As always I enjoy your videos, so calming, and such fun seeing a young person living their best life! We are just busy working and my daughters semester will end in May, she will continue working at the college however. See you next sunday! ♥

      Thank you ♥️ it’s so amazing to watch the horses, it’s also really calming. I understand you are ready for warmer weather, the rain here has just been such a big problem. Hopefully we both get sunnier weather soon. Thank you for your nice words again, if definitely helps to motivate me! See you Sunday ♥️

    I had no idea there were wolves in the Netherlands, excuse my ignorance! Someone brought a pack of 6 wolves from Europe and released them somewhere in Scotland, I’m not sure I’d want them down here in England thank you! Lovely plants Nikki…keep the Hydrangeas trimmed, they can get huge 😅 xx

    Good Morning
    It is so nice to get a view of springtime flowers and activities. Here in Michigan we are still cold with occasional snow flurries. I enjoyed the wild flowers, sky and music in the video, nice touch. Your chickens, like mine also are curious about changes and looking in on what I'm doing in the garden. Always giving things the scratch test, lol. Hope you enjoy your week Nikky, see you next time.🌿🐓🐎🐖🐕

      Good morning! I'm so happy with the nice warm spring days here, but in the forecast I could see some freezing cold nights in the next few days, hopefully it will be over soon. I'm so ready for a warmer spring and I guess you must be too! Thank you, I love seeing the wild flowers and the beautiful skies, and I love sharing it with you even more. You are so right about the chickens, they are so curious and always around to see what you are doing. I love watching them. Thank you, I hope you have an amazing week as well, see you next week! 🌼

      Thank you so much! If I lived any closer, I would love to be your photographer, but unfortunately it's a bit to far away 😉☺️

    beautiful garden but you should put some tin or similar up against the house boards, they will rot with the soil & water, so many make this mistake & pay for it later
    hydrangeas are lovely plants & can get quite big
    thanx for sharing

    Is de vogel die je op je wild camera hebt staan niet een Buizerd of Sperwer? Er zit wat bruin in hun verenkleed Maar als de vogel helemaal grijs blauw was dan kan het een Havik zijn geweest. Alle drie zijn het roofvogels. Hoewel ze mooi zijn hoef je er inderdaad niet blij om te zijn. Onder andere kuikens en kippen staan op de menukaart van deze roofvogels.
    Heb je je mooie suede booties nog schoon gekregen ? Jij doet mij zo aan mezelf denken he ook ik zou in staat zijn om met mijn mooie kleren dat soort dingen te gaan ondernemen en pas nadien bedenken dat het misschien toch handiger was geweest om werkkleding en laarzen aan te trekken. 😅
    Nikky, dank je wel voor weer een mooie video. ❣

    Hello Nikky:
    I do not have the strongest resolution on my computer monitor as you may have, but I will guess that the bird you show in this
    video might be a Hawk. If indeed you have had issues with any bird and your chickens - then you can bet that it is a Hawk.
    They will attack and eat other birds - nature as you know, can be rather cruel.
    You may try to see if any of your Home Improvement type stores, have any stuffed - but realistic looking Owls. You
    can mount them on poles around the areas where the Hawks are tending to perch, and wait for their Lunch.
    The Owls usually deter the Hawks away......not a sure thing, but I had some on my House property, some years ago.
    Love your videos.....take care. M.

    • @nikkydegraaf
      @nikkydegraaf  Před měsícem

      Thank you, my grandmother also said it was probably a hawk. Luckily my chickens are fine now, because the dog is always around. That really helps. I will definitely look into a realistisch looking owl, if it helps that would be great. Thank you very much!

    Do your horses have anywhere dry to stand there paddock looks very muddy and wet, do they get problems with there hoofs. Love your videos keep them coming 😊

    • @nikkydegraaf
      @nikkydegraaf  Před 3 měsíci

      Yes, they do! They can stand completely dry in the shelter, but we also put in some mud control plates for them, so they have multiple dry areas. Thank you so much! ❤

    • @nikkydegraaf
      @nikkydegraaf  Před 4 dny

      I can’t remember, I will need to look it up or ask Dylan, he knows about the music. But I also really like it! ♥️
