I agree! My thoughts as well. What a soothing compilation.

Cories pitch / key on “time to wonder” is so much nicer than when it’s higher - this sounds so much more in her natural vocal range and is on point. So nice, so harmonic. Edit to add that I love Katies voice in this one, so warm / colourful / rich

Oh, how beautiful. I've so enjoyed taking time out of my day/week to watch your videos this past year. I've said it in other comments, but I've been trying to save so I can stop renting and just get a cheap house somewhere else, and your gardening videos and slow pace of life are really inspirational in that quest-the simple life! How bittersweet to see Miss Cindy in the background on Granny's birthday, makes me think of what a year you've all had, and thank you for sharing what you did.

Katie and Corie harmonize beautifully. Y’all all play your instruments together beautifully also. At the end of this year y’all are gonna have 2 little rascals in your video. What a wonderful thing to look forward to. So excited for y’all. Hugs from the south east coast of Florida 😎🦩🌞🦩😎

I just have to participate in their viewing! Everyone has ooo'd and awe'd over how beautiful it all is! The scenery is OBVIOUSLY gorgeous, because it IS the most beautiful part of our country, but the editing...wow! It was absolutely wonderful!! How does one describe how amazing a bowl of beans can look?! Impossible! You have to see it for yourself! And your rows of beans? Glorious!! Well, I"m going to try not to talk about it anymore! ha!
