As the world still remains in lockdown due to the pandemic, I will miss an annual Summer trip to my motherland. By looking through my video clips I can travel there at any time. As so many of you wonder where I come from, the clips will give you a glimpse into the place I was born and the things I get up to when I return.
The 'forbidden berries' I mention in the video are Blackcurrants. They are very popular in Europe but are still banned in parts of the USA due to posing a threat to the logging industry. I enjoy them very much in every form they are used there.
The video is also a tribute to my Dad, who very sadly passed away in January 2020. He was a wonderful father, an inventor, a gardener, a story teller, and a jokester. We will miss him greatly.

May the memory of your father be a blessing. My deepest condolences to you and your entire family for your loss.
My condolences for the passing of your father. He handed down his spirit of ingenuity and invention to you. Your gift with animals and nature is from both your parents. Stay safe, stay healthy, I look forward to more lovely videos.
Bobbi Perrin I could not have put into more appropriate words myself 😀
So very sorry that you have lost your Dad. His legacy will live on in you.
BObbi Perrin I agree with you too,every word.
Это очень интересный познавательный канал, который создал его владелец, добрый и любящий природу Дариус. Я несколько лет смотрю его и каждый раз открываю что-то новое для себя. Я думаю, что здесь предгорья Скалистых гор, где хорошо выражены все сезоны года. Здесь есть место многим животным и они не конфликтуют друг с другом. Заслуживает восхищения умение Дариуса делать красивые и нестандартные вещи. С удовольствием смотрю как он работает со своими инструментами, с какой тщательностью делает любую вещь. Дариус искренне любит и заботится о животных, да и они отвечают ему тем же. Даже гризли приходит к нему каждую весну. Смотришь этот канал и отдыхаешь душой. Желаю Дариусу удачи и успехов в его жизни.
Beautiful country. So sorry about your dad. You are an excellent son.
Dear Honeysada My Dearest Sympathy for the loss of Your Father May Your Memories bring You Peace🌻
My heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your father. Your parents are/were special people to have son like you, so caring of the environment, animals and birds. Please take care and stay safe. A special hello to your beautiful Nanny.😻🌈
Agree - Nanny is amazing and nobody knows who is peace keeper - Nanny or her owner
I'm so sorry for your loss. May his memory comfort you. You came from a land that looks like a storybook. And now you live in paradise. You are very blessed 😇😇💜🌹😻💜🌹😻
We all can see that that part of Lithuania is very beautiful, yummy food and your father made a great job raising you, bless him and I am sure he is protecting you. Love your video,
Beautiful memories.Thank you for sharing them.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your Dad. Your Dad had working hands like my Dad’s hands. What a beautiful country Lithuania! The food looks delicious. I’m going to search for those recipes online and make them at home here in Ohio.
Me too. I am going to look up the recipe and make them.
Ok tell me when I can comme and judge how u make Lithuanian food :)
Мои глубокие соболезновпния по поводу ухода из жизни Вашего папы! Ваши виды Литвы пробудил во мне одни из лучших воспоминаний в моей жизни - путешествие по Литве вместе с моим мужем в конце 70-х. Мы преодолели огромное расстояние из Алма-Аты в Вильнюс, а дальше по всем живописным местам Литвы! Нас поразило все- люди, природа невероятной красоты, трепнтное отношение людей ко всему живому и особая поэтиность восприятия людьми этой природы! В какие дома мы бы не заходили , мы видели на стенах фотографии высокого художественноого качества разных кузнечиков, озер, речушек и лугов ...! Все они были сделаны самими людьми, не профессионалами, но столько любви было в них! Это то и поразило больше всего в этой стране. А так как мы музыканты, то нам стало более понятны музыкальные образы Чурлениса! В людях поражало неторопливое проживание этой жизни, что говорится, эпическое восприятие ее течения и вместе с тем католицизм оставлял свой след во внимательности к своим чувствам и их прояалению. Чудесная, невероятно интересная страна, и еще очень вкусная! Живя много лет в Нью-йорке еще больше начинаешь ценить европейский ментолитет .
Beautiful that this is dedicated for your Dad. Your homeland is beautiful and fresh fruit like that for breakfast looks like a dream.
Condolences on the loss of your father. Best wishes to you and your mother, and your family. From a Latvian friend
I never realized how beautiful Lithuania is-thank you for sharing. And I’m so sorry your father passed.
Very sorry to hear about your Dad. He left behind a great, gentle, gifted man. Great to hear from you. Hope Nanny, Garfield,Panther and your Mom and rest of family are doing well. Be safe.
My condolences to you and your family, my father passed 3 yrs ago, I miss him terribly....Lithuania is beautiful and all those wild berries in sure were delicious. ...greetings from southern Texas !...stay safe, stay strong, keep on smiling
Thank you for posting. Your content is always so gorgeous and peaceful🌹
Homeland, people, places and food, and nature, of course! A loving father, a beloved human being, warm memories we carry on in our thoughts, in our mind eyes another bright star shines in the Lithuania skies. My heartfelt sympathy.
Какие же приятные у вас видео! И как здорово,что вам можно написать по-русски! А я все думала, какое необычное у вас произношение, не американское совсем... Светлая память вашему папе! Вы достойный его сын, очень талантливый и добрый!
Спасибо 🙏❤️
Your father was a wonderful man; he made a wonderful son. Very self reliant and a wonderful guardian to his animals and to nature. Thank you for sharing a touch of your lovely homeland. Condolences to you and your family for your loss.
Holding a beehive without gloves. What a warrior.
My deepest condolences for the loss of your father. Blessed with many happy memories. Glad you had a chance to go back and visit beautiful Lithuania. Hope your mother is doing okay. Thank for sharing.
Your homeland is beautiful. May your father rest in peace.
Lithuania is a beautiful country - condolences to you and your family for the loss of your father - he sounds a lot like my father - an inventor, a carpenter a - he could fix anything and he would make parts when he couldn’t find a replacement, clockmaker and strong family man - I know you miss him a lot - I miss my father also .You inherited your dad’s talents - your woodworking skills are amazing and you are gifted in so many ways - I know that your father was proud of you . I am sure you miss your homeland - I miss Switzerland another beautiful country - next year things should be better and you will get to go home . Until then take care , stay well - thank you for sharing your beautiful homeland with us 💕
I am so sorry for everyone missing their homeland...I miss Germany and my parents forever. I hope you can visit die Schweiz bald. I visited my friend in Genf 2007. 💔
Thank you for sharing this video with us. Lithuania looks like a beautiful country. And condolences on the loss of your dad. 🌹
Sorry to see this video of your father's passing. No matter how old they get, it's still a loss, expected or not. I spent a couple of years working in Europe. I can attest that pizza baked on a clay or stone oven over a wood flamed fire is absolutely amazing. The potato dumplings that you get in Germany with Sauerbraten or the pork with sauerkraut is to die for. Time to return to the States to your fur friend family. Well done. PS now you have me looking at the German Deli website for items I've missed.
My sincerest condolences to you and yours.
Beautiful ! I love that you respect your heritage. I would love to visit there. :-) Cheers, :-) EDIT: My heart felt condolence to you. Your Father raised a good Man! :-)
Соболезную вам и вашим близким! Прекрасный ролик показал, что ваш папа был отличным человеком! И прожил хорошую жизнь в красивом месте! Светлая Память! Земля Пухом!
Thank you for taking us along on your trip home, it looks beautiful!
Seems like another loving paradise in a different setting at heart...your father lives on with you and your family in heaven! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks so much for sharing such a personal journey...you are blessed to have had such a wonderful father who taught you so much...God bless and keep you and safe travels back home ....🙏😻😻
These transitions are always hard, but the memories and the emotions they bring to the surface - like those your video gallery provoke - are also always available to need. My own Dad and Mother both have gone along and I hope pleasant adventure is still a feature of their passing.
WHAT a lovely. virtual visit You brought me on, to Your Beloved Motherland, Lithuania! I spent my first 22 years on earth in Sweden - and grew up on Black Currant berries (as well as red and white currant berries...), while spending part of every summer at my family's summer residence (on a lake...) in the Swedish countryside... Your beautiful videos reminds me of those happy times... When things get too hectic here, I just close my eyes and think of that Special place... Yes, this year the world seems upside down (with this pandemic...) - but hopefully, You'll be going back for Your yearly summer visit next year... I'm so sorry for Your loss - my heart goes out to You, and Your family... may You find comfort and strength by leaning on each other, during this difficult time...💜 When our Love for another runs deep - so does our pain... THANK You again, for Sharing yet another lovely clip with all of us...💕 💙💛🌹💜🍎🇺🇸
My heart goes out to you and to your family for the loss of your father 💔🙏. What a gentle lovely video, such a beautiful tribute to both your father and your Homeland. Lithuania seems so warm and comforting what a beautiful country ❤️ PS also sending my love to Nanny 🐈🐾💞
So very sorry about your father. One day they are here talking, laughing, sometimes singing, then, boom. Inexplicably they are gone! How could this be? Papa is supposed to be there for you, forever. Then, he is taken before you can wink, before you can cry out, don't go Dad. Remember all the precious moments you enjoyed with him for those memories will take you far in your ability to heal. Those memories will hold you and you will heal because of them. God bless you and your family, your Dad and all whose hearts he has touched. He is in a wonderful, blessed place today waiting for you at your time.
So Sorry about your dad. Beautiful memories though! I must say the food looks amazing!
I am saddened to hear about the loss of your beloved Dad, and it breaks my heart that you are unable to travel there this Summer. What an incredibly beautiful place. I'm so glad you shared this video. Now I can see where you get your creative ingenuity. God bless you and God rest your Dad's soul.
Deepest Sympathy for your loss...🙏💔😳 Had no idea Lithuania was so beautiful. 🌟Blessings🌟
Oh no...I’m so sorry to hear that your dad passed. I know how painful that is. Bless you and your family and may God give you peace. Your homeland is very beautiful. Thank you for sharing this. ♥️🙏
Thank you for sharing your life with us. Both of my parents are gone, it can be hard. I hope your mom is ok. Know that your grieving is not the end, Christ died to give all who believe Eternal life. But whilst we're HERE, I do SO enjoy your good taste in food, music, travel, art, and animals!
Sorry to hear of your Father's passing, may he rest in peace and your sadness be shortened by beautiful memories. Thank you for the treat of seeing your Motherland. God bless you.
Beautiful Lithuania! Lovely people. Had the pleasure to spend a few nights there on a return trip from Stockholm. We stuffed ourselves with Koldūnai and Balandėliai. Loved the Kukuliai, too. Yes, we tend to eat our way through all of our trips. Haha! I see your usual chaperone, Nanny, sat that trip out at home. I'm thinking she probably bent your ear severely when you got home! I'm very sorry to hear about your Dad. God rest him. He looks like a lovely man. It's tough to lose a parent. Stay well.
Your father must have been an amazing man...he created YOU. YOU have such a sweet soul and I feel your heart in all your videos. Your passion runs deep in everything you create and you touch the lives of so many. So see, your father lives on thru you. Beautiful country and I bet the honey is incredible!
So very sorry about your father :( He raised you well and that says it all about his character. Thanks for sharing your homeland, I was always curious. If you're missing a taste of home, it seems black currant berry seeds are sold on ebay. Finland, Canada, Moldova, Malta and China are some places that will ship to you in Wyoming.
Sad to hear your father passed away,, when my Dad passed away to, it's the saddest thing happened to me,, deepest sympathies to you and your family,, God Bless,,
Литва, как всегда, тихий и прекрасный уголок Европы. Трудно расставаться с родными и близкими сердцу людьми , но так устроена жизнь , мои сострадания и сочувствие , своего отца потеряла ещё в раннем детстве . Верю , что великолепие окружающей вас природы , чудесные домашние и дикие животные помогут перенести утрату . Удачи , и да хранит вас Бог.
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your father. He sounds like a great man. Thank you for sharing the delicious foods you enjoy, and the fresh berries and wild mushrooms. And fresh honey from your own honeybees, how wonderful! And those potato dumplings stuffed with wild mushrooms, and wild strawberries and raspberries for breakfast. You made me hungry (lol). I thought your accent sounded like either Russian or one of the Baltic states' languages. Thank you for showing us some of your beautiful country! I love the hoopoe bird and the black stork, too.
My father was also an inventor and my mother also good with the garden and nature and animals. They have been gone since 1981, and 2 weeks ago with my brother, we celebrated our Dad’s (103rd) birthday with a call. Every way they lived brings a memory that echoes today and every day. As you look around yourself you can see and feel their influence in your life. That is how you live out their legacy. They would be proud of how you live your life, and what you share with all of us. The memories and the echoes today are comfort for your missing them. I hope in 2021 you will be able to travel back to there and revisit the places and times and people you love. 💞 P.S. I bet your Dad would have loved Nanny’s ‘Trojan Mouse’.
My deepest condolences to you and your family! Lithuania is beautiful country but your ranch, your animals and Nanny is priceless! xo
I’m so sorry for the loss of your dad, but what a beautiful tribute to him. Amazing how he figured out how to invent a spin trimmer! I’m sure your creativeness is because of your parents. I loved seeing tha streets designed for people, rather than cars. The birds are also amazing! And those mushrooms...wow! Also the “forbidden” berries...I’ll bet they’re delicious! Thank you so much for posting another great video into your most spectacular life.
It is truly a gift of love to be able to work with bees with bare arms. The bees seem to know you are a friend. Your mom is a wonderful bee keeper. She taught you well.🐱🐻only brown bear smileys! Peaches is black long hair manx/ calico, but n no Calicos either. No worries! We are one of a kind happy friends. Have a nice weekend
you were blessed to have him so long. Beautiful country you are from.
I feel you, my mom also died in januari... May they rest in peace
It’s beautiful! I’ve been waiting for a new upload! I hope your mum is doing well.
My condolences for loosing your father 🙏. I think I have watched all your videos, and clearly your father as well as your mother lives in you. You have a beautiful place, I'm often in awe of your talents and wish I just had half of your knowledge, your peace, your talent to live in union with nature. This is not something that just comes to everyone. You have a unique gift. Bless your parents for doing the right thing and pass it on to you ❤️
My deepest condolences to you. May the dearest and best of him live on in you! Lithuania is gorgeous.
Wonderful looking dad!, I’m sure a Gorgeous mom, and a Most handsome lovely son!...Outstandingly beautiful Lithuania!
I am married to a “part Lithuanian”. A very stoic, great work ethic and superb provider for myself and our two sons. Just like your father, I am sure.
My condolences on the loss of your dad. He must have been a great dad. Thank you for sharing this video of your homeland and for sharing your life with us. 🙏❤️
Oh I'm so sorry to hear about your dad and it's never easy to loose someone both near and dear! Lithuania is a very beautiful country dear Honeysada and the food dishes looks delicious and I do love those berries too that you ate! Life can be hard and I have lost my apartment in a great house fire but life has to go on even if it's hard and not so fun! My deepest condolences to you and despite it all I wish you love and happiness! Hugs from Susanne in Sweden.
I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss. I'm thankful you were willing to share such meaningful clips and stories with us. It's tough being away from your homeland. I hope all is well.
I am sorry to hear about your loss; your family's loss; your dad's friends' loss. You made a beautiful tribute and memory. Shalom.
A beautiful upload! I am really sorry about the loss (of your father). My Dad passed away almost 4 months ago this year, too. Your videos always make me happy!
.. Спасибо за то, что поделились этой сокровенной историей о своем доме и особенно о своих родителях ... Да благословит Бог ваших отца и мать Thank You for sharing this intimate story about your home and especially about your parents .. God Bless Your Father & Mother
May he rest in peace. Such beautiful memories.
So happy to see you!!!👍🏼🙋🏼♀️
My condolences... May the motherland be with you!
It was so fun to see your Dad inventing things! I would have loved watching him create new items. Your home looks beautiful... scenery, wildlife, food. Lovely!
My father died many years ago...and I honor him by doing the things I most admired about him. He was a happy, friendly, humble man. Loves kindness, hard working. 💞
Sorry for your loss. Heartfelt condolences. Thanks to a glimpse to beautiful Lithuania.
Dear Honeysada, Even on your worst day you bring peace and comfort to your viewers. Not a lot of people can do that. May peace and comfort envelop you and your loved ones!
My condolence on the loss of your father, light and love to you and your family
I'm so sorry to hear of your father's passing. May he Rest In Peace. Although, you are unable to visit Lithuania this summer, I'm sure that Nanny and the gang are glad you're staying with them. Love to all the animals.
Very sorry for your loss. Deep condolences. Your father taught you very well. Beautiful place and lifelong memories. God Bless You and your Family!
your videos show the best the world has too offer, beauty, love and nature. My condolences for your dad, he raised a very admirable man.
So very sorry about the loss of your dad, my deepest condolence, I think he was very proud of you, and all you accomplished in your life.
Daddy always got our Starnes family christmas dinner together. He went in the hospital 2 days before christmas of '97 an passed away Jan 4,98. We were waiting on him to get out of the hospital to have our dinner. We haven't had another. There are only cousin's left an my mother who is 93. Some of my first cousins have passed too. This is the saddest time of year for me. I think I cry all the way through these holidays. I miss my Dad so much
I'm sorry for your loss. My father was gone when I was 14. Now I'm 61 and feel as it happened yesterday. I miss him so much! He didn't see my pilot's career, my marriage, his grandson... but I follow his steps trying to be as fair and honest as he was. That's probably a kind of incentive for me to go ahead, to look forward, to be happy. PS.: What a nice and beautiful country is Lithuania!
So sorry to hear your father passed away and you missed your trip to your homeland this summer. Thank you for showing us your home and beautiful places and your parents hobbies. The food looks amazing, those deserts, potatoes and mushrooms, the pizza, yum!!!!
I can't even begin to express how grateful I am for your generosity. It is beyond heartwarming that you're willing to share glimpses of your personal life with us. I am so sorry that your Dad passed away. May you continue to find comfort in all the beautiful memories you have of him and thank you, thank you for letting us strangers feel like we're part of your family. May God continue to bless your shiny, precious soul.
I am so sorry for your loss. From what we all can see, your Parents did an amazing awesome job of raising you. How one treats Animals and other people is a true reflection of character . You are a nice person . Your Father would be extremely proud of you . Lithuania 🇱🇹 is beautiful and I can't wait to visit there. Now that I am vaccinated I can't wait to travel again 🙏🌏☮❤
Sorry for the loss of your Father. Thank you for sharing.
What a beautiful country also full of wild lives, wonderful nature and great scenery and of course fantastic food. I can see how you get to be so practical and handy. Condolences for the loss of your father. It's a great photo of him.
I just found you through Nanny. What an incredible blessing to have a father like yours. You have learned the best things in life, love of family, animals, nature, country (2), humor and real food. My father was born in Czechoslovakia , but I never visited the area. Big mistake on my part. Note to self: skip Disney and go to your source instead. My sympathies to you and yours. But you have so much to embrace as you ponder your own mountains and life. There is a special place in heaven for animal lovers. My heart breaks with joy as I see your relationship with Nanny and the others. You live in paradise. Thank you for allowing us in. I know you will keep your father alive in your soul. Be well.
Darius, a finer legacy, no Father has ever left than his Son! He must have been the most wonderful Father! Lithuania, is wonderful even without Nanny, imagine how much better it could be?❤️❤️❤️
Sorry for your loss Darius, The angels in heaven will appreciate having a smart handy man like your father, to help fix stuff and keep everything in order 😇
Just wanna say that I LOVE your channel. All the animals make me so happy. Happy to see someone appreciating them!
Always a joy to watch your beautiful videos full of wonderful sights, flavors, and deep respect for the land. Lithuania looks like an amazing place. Your dad must have been very proud of you. Condolences on your loss. Your memories will always keep him alive in your heart. Take care.
Then we have been neighbors over the Baltic Sea at sometime, Darius. I give you my condolences from a rainy Sweden and also thank you for your always beautiful cinematic videos. We have also different names, contents and varieties on this "Potato Dumplings" here from all regions in Sweden. My origin is from Norrbotten/NorthBothnia in Sweden and therefor i love Pitepalt. [Potatoes, Wheatflour, Barleymeal, Salt and a filling of Belly pork. Served with Lingon Berries and melt Butter] Yummy food for a hardworking logger! I can't really see how Black Currant can be dangerous for forests!!! We are a forest country in Sweden and Currants don't spread there. I have only wild Raspberries where i live in middle part of Sweden now and doing no harm. In my countryside orchard I have 18 Black Currant bushes since probably some hundred years ago and also a lot of Red and White and also Gooseberries. I can't see any seeds spread by birds anywhere in forest! [The farm begun to pay tax to the King and Church 1423, but is probably older from before Viking age on old sea bottom now 27 m over Baltic sea level.]
Mi más sentido pésame por tu padre. El Señor lo reciba en la gloria. 🙏😔
Dear honeysada I' m so sorry for the loss of your dad. The precious memories show where your deep love for nature comes from. They are so beautiful & the fresh dishes so delicious. May you & your family find peace your dad will always be at your side & comfort you. Send you lots of love Franziska

BEAUTIFUL ! You have sweet memories from your papa.. What a beautiful place.... "WoW" I enjoyed the video... Where ever you go... May you and your family be "ALWAYS BLESSED "
An absolute Chad your dad was. May he forever live in heaven with Christ by his side.
So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. He has left a beautiful legacy within you, and you shine from within with everything he and your Mom have instilled in you. A very hard loss to bear, but Nanny will be with you, to comfort you and help you through ! 💖✌️🇨🇦🥰
Greetings from Australia again. Lithuania looks very beautiful. I love how you can bicycle right to the beach. All the wonderful food right at your fingertips. I'm sorry for the loss of your dad. It's very hard, I know, I lost my mum last year at 87. Hope to see some more beautiful scenery soon from you, either in Lithuania or Wyoming. Susan
Привет из России! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
