This is one is my favorite video, your life in the Appalachia. To drink water from creeks, to grow vegetables and get fruit off the land, is a blessing... I wish I could live this way.. To see your daughters play the guitar 🎸 and violin 🎻 is phenomenal. Matt helping with everything...You all have a beautiful family. God bless everyone. Have a Blessed and Happy 4th of July.. God bless America 🇺🇸 🙏

At Granny and PawPaw’s we had an aluminum, jewel tone tumbler by the sink to get a drink and everybody used the same one. Funny how I never remember anyone getting sick from sharing a cup. The garden looks lovely and I’m glad the poppies came up for you! Happy 4th of July!🇺🇸

My Dad loved sitting on the porch watching and listening to the rain 🌧 and I'm sure thankful for it, so the crops could grow💚

I love these “in the day of our life” videos. There are so many pretty things to see and hear! There’s that beautiful car, again! Thank you😊🇨🇦

These videos often make me wish I'd make videos of our life here in west central Illinois, which is remarkably similar, just with much more variable weather (winters below zero to summers sometimes over 100), different critters, and of course a different accent.

I used to catch grasshoppers and feed them grass to see them "spit tobacco juice". Haven't thought of that in a long time. Seeing the garden, flowers, snd insects -and the work in the kitchen- took me back to time spent at my grandparents farm. We used to pick wild blackberries and get chiggers. Do you have them? Talk about itching! I would give anything to go back in time and spend a day at the farm. You have a rich and beautiful life. I am grateful that you share it. Thank you! 💚🌿

Nice rain ! You would think having live in California my entire life I would of grown poppies which is our flower for the state lol. But I always saw them growing wild so I thought why bother. But back in the late 90's I grew flowers for my Mom and decided to plant Poppy seeds. The interesting thing abt poppies is their pods if you let them set they will explode and scatter the seeds all over. And when they explode you can hear them. I was inside a travel trailer one summer and I kept hearing what sounded like things popping and it wasnt once or twice but in successions lol I was like what is that so I went out to look around and right in front of me they began their song of setting their seeds around. I felt really stupid hahahaha. Come the following year the entire area which was large was full of California Poppies =) Thanks for sharing Take Care & Be Well

As I watch this in Appalachia myself , I'm hearing the same birds. So cool.

There was SO MUCH in this video...Matt is so capable...that tree-climb (what a great quality). Everything looks so green, beautiful, healthy. How I envy that right now, as we've had a terrible season here in TX, 100° days unending and almost no rain. The bugs and all manner of undesirables (armadillos, possum) are tearing our yard up in search of moisture. Noticed you using your biscuit cutter to prep those pickles and had a big-time A-HA moment, what a smart short-cut that is! I will be doing that now. I always learn something by your good example. THANK YOU. 🙌🏼

Thanks for yet another splendid video! Such beautiful flowers & garden. Always a delight to hear the music. Seeing Matt climbing like that reminds me of the Andy Griffith Show where Opie meets Mr. McBeevee. A good amount of poppies grew all over this spring & now have gone to seed, so I'll throw seed during the winter & see if I get a lot more poppies. 😀

Hello 👋, I Love watching you make Jelly and just Cooking and Baking. I just Love your Family. So Wholesome, Sweet and a good Christian Family.

re-watching you 'older' videos is still a pleasure Tipper, because you have such a wonderful garden & little homestead - it always brings peace to me when I spend time with you like this. I never mentioned it in the first viewing of this video about how I loved Matt's neon yellow shirt - it looks like it would glow in the dark! Not meant for hunting is it! ha ha The Lord is watching over you all & Miss Cindy.

It must be the caring and love you are pouring out to Miss Cindy is overflowing and nourishing your garden - and I would guess nourishing others around who you treasure. The peace (and love) that passes all understanding🤗

I haven't watched the entire video yet but I'm loving the bird song. 💜

And I miss my family who've passed so much it takes my breath away. My kids are grown, old folks gone, and I live alone. As my life grows smaller I spend more time remembering. To have women like you to come sit down with and hear that familiar accent, and learn about the old ways...it just heals me inside. Thank you so much.

That sounds incredible. I love sleeping outside. I did have a regret doing that as a kid though. One year my next door neighbor and I had a sleepover at her house in October. It was California so October is still warm. Well, we decided to sleep outside on her trampoline. It was amazing to see all the stars. And we slept so sound and peaceful. But we woke up covered head to toe in more mosquito bites than we could count. We looked like we had a disease. And it was so embarrassing to go to school like that,lol. We didn't do that again. Now I prefer a tent with a mesh top.

My favorite views are from your porch overlooking the garden during a rain. So peaceful. It's such a joy to see yall sit down to a meal and know your grew it yourself or Mat harvested it from a tree stand. So many city folk think it all comes from the magic of a grocery store. They have no idea what it means to do it yourself. My grandparents had a garden and chickens. Truly fresh meals when we visited them back in the 60's. I love your videography. Good job.

Tipper, this was a lovely and so relaxing video! Your yard is just full of flowers as well and vegetables and they are both beautiful this time of year, everything is so lush. That juicer looks like a keeper, it really produced a thick rich juice. Makes me a little nervous when the Deer Hunter goes up a tree like he did in this video. I can see that he is very careful, but he's my little boy and I worry about him. Thanks for sharing your peaceful moments!

In late spring, we have amelachier berries, sarvice or service berries, they are sometimes called, if you can beat the birds and coons. I ate them as a kid at my grandparents, filling up on em out by the bush in the yard. My husband had never had them, I bought some of the tree version and impatiently waited for them to mature. He loves them. It is fun to have introduced to the marvelous tasting berry. We have a mulberry in the back yard too.

I'm addicted to these videos. Tipper, could you add little more garden knowledge? Which plants can be grown next to which? How much of each patch do you expect to yield? More bug names. Your berry chiggers info was fascinating. In this video you highlighted a red spider. Do you know the naime? In NYC, our spiders are mostly black or speckled. You have such a gift of imparting knowledge without being haughty.

I grew up in the west, but since I was a child the Appalachian Mountains were calling me. I finally made a trip to find out why. I spent about 3 weeks there and I think what I found was the soul of Appalachia that has been calling me. To this very day at 73 I have a dream and am still drawn to the area. I later found out my ancestors settled in the northern tip of Appalachia so it must be in my blood. Thanks for your videos.

Another great video Tipper. Seeing you at the creek and hearing you talk about Pap keeping a glass down there on a stick for when someone got thirsty made me think about the spring that used to be down the hill from the church where I grew up. I can remember after church got out all of us youngins running down the hill and going down there to get a drink. Just like pap, someone had made sure to leave a glass down there on a forked stick beside the trough for whoever got thirsty. I guess it's probably still there today. Anyway, thanks for the memory.

Your videos bring me a sense of remembrance and peace of my own recollections in new York state Catskill mountains as a child/young adult i used to catch grasshoppers for my uncle to use for trout bait. shocking as this may seem but in all my one hundred sixty seven years on this earth I never saw mulberries much less tasted them.

I got one two years ago and wish I had it 50 years ago. They are amazing. I do have a tip. I just pull a chair up to the edge of the stove, run the clear tube out and into a large container (some people just stay there with jars ready and change them as soon as they are filled) on the chair, then when it quits dripping (have to tip the pan slightly to be sure it all comes out, I'm done and it usually takes one hour - half hour to get the juice to begin flowing and half an hour to get it all out. I wasn't sure the berries were empty of juice either so I pushed against the stuff inside, nothing came out! The magic of it all is it gets everything out! It just amazed me. Now I use it all the time, especially for beauty berries and fox grapes; FL fox grapes are teeny tiny!. Those tiny berries were always so hard to clean and pull off the vine but now I just leave the stems in the pot, also. Just amazing. The directions show how to steam meat and other stuff, but I haven't tried that - it was plenty worth the money to get all the juice from berries and grapes without any of the work. So concentrated and delicious! I'm very glad you got one! Great present from a very nice viewer! Was he going to build a tree stand? or rope it up to saw and pull over? I forget how steep the mountains are and your lack of level area to garden but when you gave a long shot of the tree, I had to hold my breath to make sure he got down without falling down the whole side of the mountain. The rain was a wonderful sight/sound.
