Limoncello anything sounds divine! And I might need to put that jellyfish light on my wishlist. My kids would totally get it for me.

Torties are such drama queens, our previous cat was a tortie and we loved her with our whole heart but she was definitely an only child! Congrats on growing stuff in your garden, that’s great! Your lipstick really suits you, thanks for sharing all of this with us!

I literally gasped when you mentioned Birds of America with Jason Ward, because I live in ATL and he used to be a guest visitor every two weeks (on our "bird" day) with the environmental summer camp I worked with! I never realized he was nationally known in the birding community--I always thought of him as super cool, bird-loving Jason!

Not related to this video but I just wanted to thank you for recommending the books, Olive Kitteridge and Olive, Again. I LOVED both of them and just now discovered that there is an HBO miniseries of the first book. Can’t wait to watch them. Thanks again Olive... always enjoy your insight and recommendations 🙏🏻❤️😀

The Pentagon? 😳 Also I use Letterboxd to organize my watchlist!

Olive Garden™️ 😂🤣😩
That jellyfish tank is a trip!

[LanaExLibris]

The lipstick looks great!! Also, if you’re interested in birds, you might enjoy “The Feather Thief”, which is a non fiction book of the true crime genre about a heist of bird feathers. It’s absolutely fascinating and I highly recommend it! 🐦

Thanks for the tip on Birds of North America. I will be checking that out for sure.

Once on a conference trip to Alexandria, my cab driver from the airport circled the Pentagon parking lot like three times because he kept getting lost. /sigh - On a brighter note, THANK YOU for introducing me to Evelyn from the Internets! She makes amazing content!

The most amazing book and movie! The story is so like my family’s life in America.

Hi O.!! This video was so up my birding/gardening tea drinking alley. I am an avid backyard/field birder, lucky to have my friend Eric be the CEO of the NJ Audubon. He does provide me and my s.o. with many opportunities to learn about and explore birds. Your garden plants will attract birds, even after they wilt at the end of the growing season. If you can bear looking at a dead tomato plant, or potted veg. plant, leave it for the wrens to frolic in. They love rustling in it, lifting dead leaves to look for bugs. They provide loads of entertainment. Great video as always. Stay rad.

I had a tortoise shell/siamese cat once... double diva! I love the jellyfish. That lipstick looks great on you. I'll definitely watch the Helen Macdonald conversation. I'm a big fan of H is for Hawk.

Thanks for the just watch app. Looks like it will be very useful

[bookwalk]

I found a recipe for Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup! Can’t wait to try it! I love all lemon chicken recipes!
Your jellyfish tank makes me think of the old lava lamps! 😆

[tinat]

Thank you so much for sharing the Birds of North American series! I saw just a snippet and warblers are my absolute favorite!!!! I got to see a lot of warblers this year for migration right before a shutdown. That series will be a great gift. I highly recommend Birder on Netflix if you haven’t seen it yet. The majority of the beginning of the documentary is where I go birding!

Aloha Olive...I just love lemons too...especially a few drops of lemon oil in a diffuser...my copy of Braiding Sweetgrass is waiting at my library...will definitely watch the YouTube author discussion. Lemongrass is so easy to grow and very fragrant...Mahalo!!

[theredheadisreading]

The limoncello la croix sounds amazing! I’m going to keep an eye out for it at my grocery store next time I go.

[sisakennick]

I really love this video series! I tried North Ave candle company from your spring video a few months ago and fell in love! I’ve since ordered several candles from them for myself and friends.
I’ll have to try out that Just Watch app. Sounds super useful. Thanks Olive! :)

I loved The Namesake ( book). I didn’t know a movie had been made of it. 👋☘️📚📖🦋
