Honestly, the perennial garden is the ultimate garden. It takes more time to get established, but once it does... it's a blessing for years to come.

The cougar might have been coincidence, but it might also have been watching & learning your routine. You might want to mix it up for awhile or not go alone. Hope this doesn’t frighten you. Just want you to be safe. Have been watching your videos for years and love them. I also started canning in my twenties and have never stopped. So satisfying! Be well. ❤

I love that others have given the spiritual meaning of cougar! My husbands totem is cougar and I love cougars in all ways! On the practical side, you need to be aware at all times in the wild, and may need to carry protection. Usually you won’t need it for anything other than noise to scare them away, but consider actual protection in case more than noise is needed! Better safe than food for cubs. Seriously!

With mountain lions, it’s best to walk backwards make sure you have two big rocks and banging them together to scare them off. This is literally happened to me!
And never run!

Thank you for the tips, Isabel! Keep an eye out for that cougar, they are cunning and could watch you for days…Just be careful and aware of these bigger predators..bears too! Stay safe❤️🙏🏽

What a gift to see a cougar in the wild. That being said, they are extremely smart, best to take precautions when out and about.

[jenniferpatricia]

Oh my God, you were so close to the mountain lion...
Also here in India, my Grandma definitely believes that freshly milled flour is the best and higher in nutrition. So we usually go to the local mill and get our grains milled fresh. I have noticed that it definitely tastes better. The smell, the texture, the taste, everything feels more luxurious for sure. <3

Mountain lions stalk and learn behavior. That was a very lucky encounter

[yvettewhite]

I do a cold shower and it is a feeling I can’t explain . Lifts up my mood . Makes me productive.
I grow a garden and it is wonderful feeling. I love canning . Grew up helping my parents .

Hello sweet Isabel, that one commenter might be right about that cougar sizing you up. I'm an 85 year old dude now and have caned for many decades, so enjoyable. Your recipes are wonderful. Nice big old bathtub you got there. Thanks much Isabel I keep on doing what you're doing and looking pretty❤❤❤

We need an Isabel and Hannah adventure!

[krystlepedro]

Gosh, what a treat! Thank you!!

I live near a cougar too. I walk with bear bells if I’m not singing:) and I keep a high-pitch alarm at the ready in case one is following or I start feeling one is near to warn off. I do have bears here too. In the event of a pursuit or attack, I also carry coyote spray and a knife. Don’t ever want to have to use them but it’s a last-resort defence so I can get away.

Stay safe! And thanks again for such wonderful content xo

That was a good sized Cougar. Maybe carry some bear spray. It would only irritate it's eyes for 30 to 40 minutes with no permanent damage...plenty of time to put good enough distance between you two. You'd also need to watch vids about how to use it correctly. Also good for the much more dangerous two-legged mammals.

[gretchenkoontz]

Scary! I would have been terrified! Glad you’re okay.

[laceymcgraw]

I feel like we need a proper tiny house tour now that you have remodeled <3

[larrybraden]

If you come up on a cougar never run. If it appears to be stalking you do not turn away from it. Wouldn't be a bad idea to carry bear spray with you. Just pay attention to your surroundings and keep your wits about you and you should be fine. Much love.

[deborahpaulin]

I imagine that mountain lion knows you and your stewardship of his and your land. I'm imagining he'd never harm you but yeah, wild animal... take care and all that. ❤😊

[nellytamayo]

That’s always my greatest fear living where your at I’m terrified of wild animals!
I realize most of them will just go away but still! Stay save Isabel

[INSTANT-RACINES]

Hi Isabel,
If I can give you some advice for bouquets in general, it's best to remove at least two-thirds of the green leaves to keep the flowers fresh for as long as possible. The leaves pump out all the water, preventing the petals from hydrating.
That's what I've noticed,
Thanks you for the video🪲

[sway]

Very beautiful animals but yes keep aware of your surroundings so you don’t walk right up on them. You don’t want them to feel they need to defend themselves. And yes running isn’t always the best scenario it can trigger that prey instinct in them. Just be careful and you should be ok. Stay safe. Thanks for the video. Always enjoy when you share a new chapter with us. Thank you, you always bring a smile to my face.😁
