this instant connection, and I

68
00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:22,533
think about what you tell me

69
00:02:18,766 --> 00:02:24,800

70
00:02:20,666 --> 00:02:26,366
involve nature

71

How's that working for you?

>> It's awesome now because

79
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,433
you calm me down.

80

00:02:39,433 --> 00:02:44,966
one of the things is I think

83
00:02:40,966 --> 00:02:46,300
in these times,

84
00:02:43,666 --> 00:02:46,566
we need something.

85
00:02:44,966 --> 00:02:48,266
And I think flowers do that for

86
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:49,766
me.

87
00:02:46,566 --> 00:02:51,200

You're part of that puzzle

91
00:02:53,066 --> 00:02:56,133

the Native American story,

95
00:02:57,266 --> 00:03:00,733

96
00:02:58,666 --> 00:03:01,733

97
00:02:59,633 --> 00:03:03,266

98
00:03:00,733 --> 00:03:04,400
and one of the most profound

99
00:03:01,733 --> 00:03:06,400
things you ever said to me --

100
00:03:03,266 --> 00:03:08,200
Outside the back of my house

101
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,966
are trees, and I said,

102
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:12,666
"I hear the wind and the trees

103
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:15,866
at night," and you said,

104
00:03:09,966 --> 00:03:18,200
"But do you listen to them?"

105
00:03:12,666 --> 00:03:19,300
And I listen to them now

106
00:03:15,866 --> 00:03:20,700
because you told me to listen

107
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,600
to what they were saying.

108
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:23,433
>> If we just listen to nature

109
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:25,700
a little bit more,

110
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:27,233
we just kind of relax

111
00:03:23,433 --> 00:03:28,400
into our own setting.

112
00:03:25,700 --> 00:03:29,966
We are able to connect

113
00:03:27,233 --> 00:03:32,533
a little bit more with nature

114
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:33,800
and animals, and then we can

115
00:03:29,966 --> 00:03:36,033
communicate better with people.

116
00:03:32,533 --> 00:03:38,300

you're the master of that, huh?

123
00:03:44,533 --> 00:03:48,300
Oh, she thinks so too.

124
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:49,500

135

And just try to place them

136

Well, first of all,

152
00:04:21,766 --> 00:04:27,400
she represents, like, a bobcat,

153
00:04:23,766 --> 00:04:28,233
so she's always on the go, go,

154
00:04:25,566 --> 00:04:29,466
go, and she's ready for

155
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,266

charge.

157

She likes to voice her opinion.

158
00:04:31,266 --> 00:04:35,833
You have the bear tooth,

159
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:37,333
so the bear tooth represents

160
00:04:33,700 --> 00:04:38,600
a good healthy, long lifeline.

161
00:04:35,833 --> 00:04:40,066
It also represents

162
00:04:37,333 --> 00:04:41,200
that she might hibernate.

163
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:43,566
When it's her down time,

164
00:04:40,066 --> 00:04:44,700
she'll hibernate a little bit

165
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:46,333
longer to come out and emerge

166
00:04:43,566 --> 00:04:47,100
back up.

167
00:04:44,700 --> 00:04:48,066
The last one is about her

168
00:04:46,333 --> 00:04:49,766
communication.

169
00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:50,933
At times, she might be

confusing, not knowing

171
00:04:49,766 --> 00:04:53,066
what direction to go to,

172
00:04:50,933 --> 00:04:54,600
and that's why she hibernates

173
00:04:52,266 --> 00:04:55,366
a little bit, you know,

174
00:04:53,066 --> 00:04:56,033
and then she does her own thing,

175
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,866
like you said,

176
00:04:55,366 --> 00:04:58,900
that she's the princess.

177
00:04:56,033 --> 00:05:01,433
She's the smart one.

178
00:04:56,866 --> 00:05:02,533
She already knows she was,

179

and with the bear tooth,

180
00:05:01,433 --> 00:05:06,366
it also represents

181
00:05:02,533 --> 00:05:07,600

182
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,933
to communicate to her more

183
00:05:06,366 --> 00:05:09,766
and more, you know, like,

184
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,666
tell her what you're doing.

185
00:05:08,933 --> 00:05:12,433
If you're changing around

186
00:05:09,766 --> 00:05:13,766
furniture or anything,

187
00:05:10,666 --> 00:05:14,400
she needs to know.

188
00:05:12,433 --> 00:05:15,866
She wants to be up ahead,

189
00:05:13,766 --> 00:05:17,633
ahead of the game.

190
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,300
>> You have told us that, and we

191
00:05:15,866 --> 00:05:19,033
have -- and we always tell her

what we're doing.

193
00:05:18,300 --> 00:05:21,333

384
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:17,500
I like working with the standard

385
00:10:13,733 --> 00:10:19,333
carnation and many carnations.

386
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:21,833
That way, if I need to fill

387
00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:23,033
in a smaller space, I can use

388
00:10:19,333 --> 00:10:24,200
the smaller-sized flower.

389
00:10:21,833 --> 00:10:26,433
I'm using another type

390
00:10:23,033 --> 00:10:29,700
of carnation,

391
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:31,600
the Green Trick carnation,

392
00:10:26,433 --> 00:10:33,600
to fill in between the legs.

393
00:10:29,700 --> 00:10:35,566
I like this because it gives

394
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:37,500
good definition,

395
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:39,466
and this is actually a dianthus

396
00:10:35,566 --> 00:10:49,400
or carnation too.

397
00:10:37,500 --> 00:10:59,366

534

some catnip spray in a bottle,

535
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,066
and when we were training her

536
00:16:12,733 --> 00:16:16,266

537

539
00:16:16,266 --> 00:16:19,533

the scratching post,

541
00:16:18,433 --> 00:16:21,933

543
00:16:20,633 --> 00:16:24,566

wheatgrass?

566
00:16:47,066 --> 00:16:51,266

567
00:16:48,533 --> 00:16:52,666
every once and a while.

568
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,933

569

right by the window

570
00:16:52,666 --> 00:16:56,966
so that she can look outside

571
00:16:53,933 --> 00:16:58,133
while she's eating the grass,

572
00:16:55,366 --> 00:16:59,466
and she just goes up whenever

573
00:16:56,966 --> 00:17:01,133
she's a little bit hungry,

574
00:16:58,133 --> 00:17:02,466
has a little bit, and then

575
00:16:59,466 --> 00:17:03,400
when she's full, she leaves.

576
00:17:01,133 --> 00:17:04,200
She's done with it, so...

577
00:17:02,466 --> 00:17:04,666
>> And do you leave the grass

578
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,233
in the house the whole time?

579
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,166
>> Yep, correct.

580
00:17:04,666 --> 00:17:07,333
>> So that...

581
00:17:05,233 --> 00:17:09,000
So she has access to it.

582
00:17:06,166 --> 00:17:09,300
>> Yes, she has the kitty grass

583
00:17:07,333 --> 00:17:10,100
all the time, every day, all

584
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,766

586
00:17:10,100 --> 00:17:12,666

587
00:17:10,766 --> 00:17:14,200
ceramic containers.

588
00:17:11,966 --> 00:17:15,533
They don't have room

589
00:17:12,666 --> 00:17:16,766
for drainage, but I put

590
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,066
rocks down in the bottom,

591
00:17:15,533 --> 00:17:18,733
so then this will just

592
00:17:16,766 --> 00:17:19,833
drop down inside there,

593
00:17:18,066 --> 00:17:21,200
and then you've got

594
00:17:18,733 --> 00:17:23,066
a decorative pot for it.

595
00:17:19,833 --> 00:17:24,100

599
00:17:25,133 --> 00:17:28,533

600
00:17:25,933 --> 00:17:29,000
pretty to have in the house.

601
00:17:27,133 --> 00:17:29,666

604

605
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,200
it with herbs because catnip

606
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,633
is an herb, right?

607
00:17:33,033 --> 00:17:37,666

609
00:17:35,633 --> 00:17:39,966
It has an artichoke too,

610
00:17:37,666 --> 00:17:40,600

with you in festive style.

625
00:18:01,033 --> 00:18:04,700
You know, I was amazed when I

626
00:18:02,333 --> 00:18:06,266
started thinking about clematis

627
00:18:03,666 --> 00:18:07,666

in the yard so much,

629
00:18:06,266 --> 00:18:11,933
and I didn't realize it was

630
00:18:07,666 --> 00:18:13,733
so durable and so easy

631
00:18:09,666 --> 00:18:17,366
to use for flower arrangements,

632
00:18:11,933 --> 00:18:18,666

633
00:18:13,733 --> 00:18:19,500
a few of each color.

634
00:18:17,366 --> 00:18:21,400
I know how big my dogs are,

635
00:18:18,666 --> 00:18:23,066
so I know how much I'm going

636
00:18:19,500 --> 00:18:24,800
to need, but in some cases,

637
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:26,866
you might not be sure exactly

638
00:18:23,066 --> 00:18:27,600
how big that dog is going to be,

639
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:29,400
so leaving yourself extra ribbon

640
00:18:26,866 --> 00:18:31,533

641
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:33,533
to play with,

642
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:34,433
and because we'll be weaving

643
00:18:31,533 --> 00:18:37,133
the clematis around the ribbon,

644
00:18:33,533 --> 00:18:39,600

our blossoms,

648
00:18:41,233 --> 00:18:48,266

forth with the different colors,

650

652
00:18:49,566 --> 00:18:55,300

656
00:18:58,100 --> 00:19:07,500

another piece of ribbon

a little bit more texture.

together at one end,

a little bit of wire that can be

676
00:19:50,733 --> 00:19:59,100
attached to the clematis stems.

677
00:19:53,833 --> 00:20:00,233
I'll go back to the other end

678
00:19:55,933 --> 00:20:02,166

679
00:19:59,100 --> 00:20:03,900

gather the ribbon,

685
00:20:09,133 --> 00:20:15,233
it's not a very strong wire.

686
00:20:11,966 --> 00:20:17,300
It's just enough to give

687
00:20:13,333 --> 00:20:18,933
the ribbon shape.

688
00:20:15,233 --> 00:20:24,133
