winter at the mountain cottage *preparing for christmas*
Переглядів 97,177
День тому✨ Welcome to the Cottage Christmas Special! ✨
Winter in the rocky mountains is difficult to say the least, but I've chopped plenty of firewood and the cottage is cozy. Spend the day with me as we have our first snow storm, decorate the cottage for christmas, chop down our own christmas tree, bake a flaky and delicious treat, and lastly cozy up by the fire for a reading of Robert Frost.
The holiday season can be difficult, and these videos are so we can feel a little less alone. Thanks for being here.
Yours truly,
Lyss

Beautiful! :) Thank you for your channel and all your videos, It's something of a guiding light for me and others to be able to make a change in life and stop dreaming but start living the dream. I found other channels through yours as well that have been incredibly informative. 🙏

@@outdoorsbeyondnature1980Such nice decor, surroundings and looks like a cozy true quality of life style. I'm not sold on vegetarian or such cold times of year in winters but to each their own. If it makes them happy and they're not doing negative to others but bringing some good to others that's making me smile. Thanks for the fruit decorating & other visuals. Also the enjoyable life enlightenment of many types you share 😂 🙂

My woman is suffering from an obscure neurological disease since 1,5 years. 18 months of hell. I tend for her, caring for her at home. No holidays, no christmas, no tree, no baking because it isn't possible. Seeing your beatiful video lets me smile but also cry tears of longing. Longing for my woman to heal again, almost unbearable pain to not be able to help her. I pray for all the people that are out there alone in the cold. Thank you for sharing this wonderful time, Lyss😊 Sincere in vulnerability, Norman from Germany

You are helping her by being there for her. Consider attending a church this holiday season to reach out. So many would love to help, I'm sure. Also, try to find something each day to be grateful for. Encourage your lady to do the same. A positive attitude can go a long way. God bless you both.

You did a great job and I'll definitely be watching for more videos during this holiday season. I think everyone needs a little place to go sometimes to make themselves feel better and believe in the goodness in each other again. Especially given the depressing times that we all live in currently. Thanks for spreading some holiday cheer and Happy Holidays to you ! Peace !

Beautiful video. It put a smile on my face and happiest in my heart. Haven’t been smiling for several days. My BFF has stage four breast cancer. Went through Chemo like a champ. Got back from Jamaica, went to the doctor because of some unexplained symptoms she was experiencing. Took her to her MRI and back to her doctor to get the results. Her cancer has spread to her brain and there are too many tumors to count. She will start radiation therapy on Tuesday. I don’t want to lose her. Your video took my mind off of her diagnosis for a few minutes and for that I thank you. ♥️♥️

Your stove pipes are installed wrong. Touching the tile on the wall will transfer red hot temps to whatever is behind the tile. There are many videos on how to correct this. Insulation in the 1800's was usually saw dust or cotton, so extra care with wall temps is needed. Love the house and how you are making it a home.
@user-ff8vo1se8v 5 місяців тому
I can't believe I didn't catch that! OMG who put the stovepipe against the wall? We need to see a fast follow up or explanation on this FIRE RISK! Are you the first one to see that??? ALYSSA ALERT! 😮😮😮😮
@christopherstimpson6540 5 місяців тому
@@user-ff8vo1se8v Just noticed they did not even use an elbow piece at the curve and just stuck a piece of straight pipe there. That will fall out if bumped and is not sealed. I can only imagine it gets worse in the attic where double wall or triple wall pipe is required. I can't see the ceiling but a metal box is required there that keeps the stove pipe from touching wood and insulation.
@REGRETLYSS1 5 місяців тому
Hi friends! Yes my stove is a little wonky, you'll be happy to know It does not touch the tiles although it does look like it in the video. It is double insulated and I do have it inspected by my chimney sweep every year. It's safe, but it is a little wonky he tells me. I would love to upgrade to a slightly bigger stove and better piping one day. Thank you so much for your love and concern though. :)

O.K. I can sleep easily tonight. I lived in the ghost town of Lawrence, a mile and a half outside of Victor, Colorado, with my young daughter. We had no utilities and used wood to heat and cook. I was kinda paranoid about fire and I guess I still am! That wood heat is the BEST heat ever ♥️🍻
