Why do we need a membership? Can't you just show lovely videos like this one? How can you come into the peace of things when yr frantically trying to obtain “memberships“?

So glad God placed you in my mist today, I was thinking about spending time at the library to think and write, but I much prefer the Botanical Gardens. Sometimes, we don’t realize we’re stressed while we’re in it. Time to relax after breakfast- once again, you made my morning blissful. Thank you

I really enjoyed this video, thank you for sharing the squirrels. 🐿️ There’s an amazing feeling being outside in my backyard and seeing the beauty of all the plants, flowers and trees. Love hearing the birds sing. I love watching the birds eating from the bird feeders, it’s a sweet joy. Thank you again, Jennifer❤ Psalm 46:10 Be still and know that I Am God

Absolutely ♥

The mention of end of school year burnout; made me remember many, many years ago how exhausted my children and I were from all the end of year activities, the first morning after it was sheer bliss to sleep in. Squirrels are so much fun to watch. Presently we have a couple chipmunks playing and teasing our dog.

When we moved from an acre with woods to town, we turned the courtyard into a butterfly garden with lots of host plants for the eggs and caterpillars to grown. We can read and homeschool there and watch the lizards and bumblebees. It is our intentional little bit of nature.

It was stressful when we thought we couldn't get him out! haha

The squirrels were so fun. I understand burnout, I brought my disabled brother up for a visit, and he's a lot of work. Plus, I'm trying to find him a new place to live. My 3 kids are long grown, and I'm a grandma now. I read something today that is so sobering; "You will spend the majority of your life knowing your children as adults, but for a brief moment you will get the chance to know them as kids." It's so true that long are the days and short are the years. I'm glad you're taking time to nourish yourself in your garden and smell the roses. God bless!

You just give me a calmness Jennifer.God bless you.❤

this channel is a slice of serenity. ty jennifer

My favourite thing to ‘do’ is to just ‘be’, whether that be in nature or at home all cosy 🥰 I remember a quote saying something like we are called human ‘beings’ rather than human ‘doings’, as we are supposed to take time to rest and reflect rather than function like machines! I’m so glad you’ve had a peaceful and refreshing time in God’s creation lately Jennifer 🌷 and those squirrels are hilarious! 🐿️

Thank your daughter from me for sharing the squirrel video! It was hilarious! I am glad he got out in the end. I was happy to start my day with a little suspense, a little laughter and a happy ending!

Perfect message as I sit on the deck watching the birds eat and fly on and off the deck.

Oh, Jennifer! I reliving that feeling of “ready to exhale and close the book on the school year” through you and my own adult children and grands. There is so much packed into May and the first two weeks of June. I can remember lying in bed many late spring nights with my eyes wide open! Here’s to tomorrow! Yes, tomorrow, June 14, when the book closes on academic year 23-24, and we party under the sun . . . and stay up late to soak in the moonbeams while we watch for shooting stars! Happiest Summer Solstice to you, your family and all who play together on this channel! Love, Lynne 10:31

Happy summer to you!

I have been so overwhelmed the last four months because of my husband's illness. I've been working four 12-hour days weekly, and I do the majority of all household tasks. My husband has several concerning medical conditions and I don't have any friends or family that can help. I go to bed exhausted and get up that way.

Huge belly laugh 😂 from the Squirrel Caper! Hilarious! Just what I needed 🤣

My daughter, husband and I absolutely loved the squirrel footage! 😅 The video is enchanting from start to finish! Beautifully done 💖

Thank you for your beautiful video, Jennifer! I needed the reminder to rest after a busy spring. Your kitchen garden and climbing roses look amazing! Thank you for featuring the Chic Society. It is an honor to be part of it!

That squirrel is so cute!! My husband and I have a term for when you were just simply being in the moment with nothing else to do and nowhere else to go. We call it “being a whale”. We enjoy the series, planet earth, and in one episode there are two whales, hovering in the waters of the Caribbean before heading north word to their feeding grounds. With nothing to eat in the Caribbean, and being unable to travel north, until the calf is ready for the journey, they sit there, hovering, waiting, watching, being. If I cannot spend the day being a whale, I at least try to be a whale for a half hour each day 🐋🐋🐋

I'm so glad she filmed it!

Love the footage of the walks WITH the book of poetry. Gerard Manly Hopkins is my current daily poetry reading and I am just savoring these poems. My kids and I are reading through TS Eliot's Old Possums Book of Practical Cats in our morning time. So quirky and fun! They are still at the age where they stop and wonder at the ants on the sidewalk or the chipmunk scurrying into bushes. We recently had racoon kits up a tree in our front yard. They had been separated from their mom and were waiting for her to return. We watched it all unfold with hopes for reuniting. They did. I hope it lasts a long time, this wondering in nature.

The squirrel footage was really funny and remarkable at the same time❣️🐿️🐿️🐿️ I was not aware until now how extremely well they care for each other! And yes - nature is such a peaceful place to turn to when daily life gets too busy!🌳🪻🌳 Thank you for the kind reminder and inspiration!❤

I'm completely and utterly burned out. I've been working two jobs for over a year now with only a 30 minute lunch and no break between jobs or at the evening job, so I end up eating whatever snacks are around. Then, I get home at 9pm, squeeze in a bike ride even though I'm exhausted, walk the dog, feed the cats, tidy up, do dishes and laundry, and finally sit down to rest at 10:00 or 10:30, then stay up too late because it's finally my "me time." I can't wait for the day I can quit some of this and have some time to think and enjoy life again and can recover.

The squirrels where having a grand Ole time!!

Good morning Jennifer! Just sitting down to breakfast after seeing my little ones off to go on an outing with a God-sent adoptive grandma and grandpa who told me to stay home and rest. I have similarly been yearning for some time alone and am just doing my planning and praying so it will be both a restful and productive day alone! We also have some crazy squirrels 🐿️ … they climb up our windows to get to our window bird feeder and into it! So I know they can handle slippery surfaces 😂 Right, off for a walk now before it gets too hot! Sending love from a fellow homeschool Mama.

Such a relaxing, peaceful and beautiful video. You are so right about the peace and calm that nature brings. Also the wisdom and humor as with your squirrels. Thank you for all you do! Sending love, Barbara 💖

Thanks for sharing, love the idea of nature being restoring! The roses in your garden are lovely! I need to spend more time in nature. In one of her videos, Diane in Denmark mentioned eating outside as one of her four self-care assignments she gives on her Friday videos. So, thank you for the extra motivation. Like how you include poetry into your videos!

I'm love your videos on rest and refreshing! I've started a practice where i am in the grass barefoot. It is helping me feel more grounded and peaceful...i enjoyed the squirrels 😂. Blessings Xoxo Stacie

I’ve never really thought of home schooling as having terms / an “end of year” - I just didn’t realise it was structured like so! It’s not that common where I’m from. Lovely video x

Thanks for this inspiring and funny video 🌸🩷

I loved the squirrels summer pool party! ❤

The squirrels confirm that spring was absolutely nuts! 😉 I am exhausted from a huge volunteer project that wrapped up last week. I will join you in committing to a restful, restorative summer. 😍

I first heard “ The Peace of Wild Things” on a BEAUTIFUL and life changing channel here called “Reflections of Life.”. You can buy a framed copy of that for your home. Nature is a powerful healer ❤ 🌳 ☀️ 🌸

Can totally relate when I am thrown off my schedule, I am working on being more flexible.

I love your music selections! So funny watching the squirrels!

The playful squirrels were so cute, especially appealing to me as we don't have them down here in my country. As ever, a beautiful relaxing video!

Love it! As I watched, I was able to slow down my own breathing and bring my own chaos of mind into a slower place of calm. ❤ Thank you. Also, I loved the squirrels video. Nature is so resourceful. Sometimes, I try to help out when I need to just let them be. Loved that the squirrel was able to find the way out.

@ TheDailyConnoisseur -------- Jennifer I've wondered about how you're able to handle all the stresses of your actual life. Just thinking about it makes me feel overwhelmed. I hope you appreciate "yourself," and are somehow able to step away (from yourself) to truly realize the amazing person you actually are. Because if you're not able to do that, I think it would be very unfortunate for you. Anyhow, I hope that I spoke in written form through this comment well enough to be correctly understood...and I certainly hope not misunderstood🙄. You Are Appreciated, Jennifer. And please(!) continue to take good care of yourself.

We also have a family of squirrels in our front yard. We have to check under our cars every time we want to leave. I love this video. My son got married last weekend and I get this the need for deep rest.

Beautiful. Pause, rest, sip, eat, pause… bringing forth joy and laughter and tranquility. Recipes from Heavenly dad to a weary soul. Enjoy. ☺️

Love the video! And especially the Great Squirrel Adventure! Thank you for sharing that! Love how many roses you get. We have deer so can't enjoy roses at all--they get eaten 😒

It is your video that allowed me to enter in “the peace of wild things” this morning! What you shared of the hectic schedule you recently experienced is a reality for me this month of June! So your video gave me a welcomed break of beauty and peace today with the beautiful images of the forest and the creek! Thank you! Oh! And the squirrels helping each other was so fun to watch, especially since you told us they were able to get out of their unfortunate situation! Have a nice day! ❤🙏🌼

Such a beautiful video. I've been wanting to read Wendell Berry, so maybe The Peace of Wild Things is the place to start. Also, what a lovely amphibian there at the water's edge. I've never seen an animal like that before.

Your videos are so therapeutic 💖🙂

Thank you Jennifer! That was delightful’b those silly squirrels made my day!!😂

Good Morning! Squirrel shenanigans...the struggle is real, haha!!! SUCH cute footage!!! Once again, we share something, Jennifer....I'm sooo introverted and the BIGGEST creature of habit!! I go bananas when my routine(s) get sidetracked! It's incredibly draining, isn't it?? Also, I know this is odd, but doen't it hurt to sit on the rocks in your garden, hahah??! I hope you are safe and well! See you tomorrow! With love, Kellie

Hello Jennifer, Thank you for this timely video. We choose to homeschool independently so we aren’t over-scheduled by programs yet this past couple weeks have just been big family busy with inviting an out-of-town family to our home, an out-of-town wedding for a niece and getting ready for our July 4th reunion picnic we host for 65 then a Martha Stewart style tag sale here. Phew, it’s been oh so busy and tonight I had to bow out of an event to rest. Time in nature is the best way to recoup. I love that God created a garden for man to live in and then a woman to be his companion: His way is supreme. Julie 🌷

Thank you so much, Jennifer. I needed this. I love Wendell Berry’s works. Also try Annie Dillard’s Pilgrim at Tinker Creek for a beautiful dive into nature and the cycles of life.

I'm glad you're getting much needed rest and a return to your reliable routines. The squirrel footage was so cute! We get a couple of squirrels who regularly come to our backyard, and I love watching them. The poem I posted on Instagram yesterday mentions one ( @Word Awakening). Also, a lovely morning practice of mine (besides sitting outside with my coffee and journal) is to watch one of the devotionals from the former Dean of Canterbury Cathedral on his KZread channel: @Garden Congregation. They take place in the various, gorgeous gardens of the Cathedral, with birdsong, flowers, streams, trees, and sometimes even cats and pigs! Here's to a relaxing summer!

Have you ever considered to publish a cooking book with all that delicious recipes?❤

Why is it so hard to sit still , be quiet in nature even when exhausted? I am praying on this question. The squirrel caper made me smile/ especially listening to your family’s excitement! ❤

Beautiful, peace-filled video. I'm going to look up the Wendell Berry book. Have you ever read Pilgrim at Tinker Creek by Annie Dillard? It's a very interesting nature-style book. I'm almost done with my copy and it has caused me to be more present in nature -- or where ever I am.

I am sure people who have suffered actual burnout, from a toxic workplace, who are physically unable to go about their daily life because of the psychological damage, will appreciate your very casual usage of the word "burnout" when speaking of the many social commitments you have imposed on yourself.

so glad this is not another article of dress. love your channel but....
