I absolutely love the sounds of nature..the leaves falling, footsteps in the fallen foliage, running water and the first kiss of frost. Thank you for letting us be a part of 'the extended family'. ♥️🙏
Me too. God surely blessed us with all of nature. My daddy taught me to appreciate so many things God made. He was such a grateful man. I’m so grateful for him.
I am only 2 minutes into this video and I love it already ..... the SIMPLE LIFE , THE GOOD LIFE , PRINCIPLES , TRUE VALUES , WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT ..... today these things are A DYING BREED ..... but they will NEVER DIE !!!
I agree with John. I love the mountains. I live in the south, so no mountains here. Gatlinburg/Smokey Mtns are my Utopia. Would live to visit your area. Enjoyed the video.
From the Asian persimmon to the Zennias you have a beautiful piece of the Appalachia.Thanks Tipper for sharing all of it with us.May God be with you and your family as we get ready for winter.🙏🏻❤🙏🏻
I love matt's kindling splitter and that homemade box stove. Instead of eating a pop cycle outside, y'all can drink hot chocolate or coffee by the stove. Great singing and picking!
You and Matt have a beautiful place. I absolutely love your videos. Thank you for sharing your everyday life. The fall colors of the trees are stunning. Thank you Tipper. Blessings to you and your family. 💕
Thank you Miss Tipper. That was enjoyably relaxing. I wish my life was that a way. I've allowed the enemy to rob me of that peace and joy all my adult life. Im now 59 years old and am saddened by all the time wasted on feeling so melancholy and fearful. Thank you again for sharing your family's life. It brings me a moment of peace to my troubled soul. God bless you and your family always.
There was so much that was special in this video. The nasturtiums, before so pristine and full of life, and then the frost (wondering if it got them). All the beautiful food, then Matt's kindling splitter, which looks really handy. As if all that (and so much more that I didn't even list) wasn't enough, you end with an amazing song. That sounded PERFECT, y'all were rockin' it. I can't help but think that song was perfect with a theme of changing seasons, the leaves, the beautiful garden, the frost, the chimney/ the fire warming your home. This video was very beautiful. THANK YOU, as always. 🙌🏼
I'm a Nebraska farm kid now 72 yrs old. The life of farmers parallels yours in many ways. I too cook with cast iron, butter and Crisco. You have a delightful channel that I've started to follow. Your family is the heart of America.
What an absolute lovely piece of nature that you are living in! I’m in a city but grew up in a small town and I’m telling you the older I get the more I long for this country life! Thanks for sharing you life, I love to watch your videos!
Thank you Tipper. The first fire of the season is always special. I'm saving for a small wood stove myself. 🍁🍂 The older your brother is the more he looks like Pap
There's nothing like the warm relaxing feeling of a wood stove or heater the heat soaks down in your bones I miss my granddaddy making a nice warm fire in our wood heater
I know I had already run my mouth but hadn’t realized the song was from the Louvin Brothers My best friend introduced me to their music and story many years ago and I love them They are one of the greatest little remembered acts in country and gospel music and it’s a shame Thanks for helping to preserve their music
Percolated coffee! 😊 All the food looks tasty! 😋 You're having a gorgeous fall, great photography of it. Thanks for the beautiful full version of that song y'all wonderfully did. 🌼
I love watching your channel. I am not a native, but have lived in Blairsville GA for the past 8 years. Learning a lot and just enjoy your life in Appalachia
Just love seeing the leaves change! Deer Hunting, marshmallow eating, fall garden, crisp mornings, woods walking, snake disappearing, rain returning, guitar playing around a campfire season is my favorite time of year! Thanks for sharing!
Aw!! I love that last dance of the leaves! Just imagine the beauty they see traveling down the creeks and valleys!! We are very lucky people!! ❤️ So many don't see it! The music was beautiful! My Grandmother sang in Wheeling WV. Her and her sister were called The West Virginia Sweethearts!
That asia persimmon is how you got your japanese bugs. Thanks for the shots of the mountain scenery. When you walk outside and there are no trees hiding you neighbors houses, it is like you are standing in public naked; no privacy.
There's something so poignant about frost on the blooms. A reminder of the impermanence of life, but not without the knowledge of the renewal that will surely come again in spring. The young don't watch the seasons as closely as those of us in our later years. We know, I guess, that we are those blooms, and one day we will not escape the frost. There's never sadness in the change of seasons. I trust in the rhythms of nature and in a source greater than myself that all will be reconciled. A million thanks Tipper for all the joy your sharing brings.
It is just so lovely! Breayhtaking really. ❤️ I think back to the late 1800s when my grand papá was born. I ponder what it must have been like in Cherokee when he was a small boy. I ponder my great-great grandmother accepting a white name given to her by the Calvary. Her long journey to Oklahoma on the Trail of Tears... And then her return to North Carolina. To go from scrub brush... And return to this lovely terrain. I can imagine her excitement and happiness. Your videos give me a longing to be there.
The leaves falling were so pretty it brought tears to my eyes. They almost look like big, fluffy snowflakes, only in technicolor. And walking through dry leaves is one of the best sounds! But the tinkling sound of a creek moving over rocks beats it. This video is a feast for the senses!
Old Jack Frost came to visit. Tipper, thank you for sharing your beautiful videos. We can't come for our annual fall visit this year, so this is as close as we'll get until spring. Your videos are a comfort to my soul. Boy howdy, Matt makes building a fire a work of art! loved watching him do that!
Love that song at the end. About the End. Or is it just the beginning? God only knows. Lovely song just the same. Loving Appalachia. It beats life in the suburbs. The culture is so down home and comforting to witness. Gods love permeates all that you do. From the gardening, cooking and music is just so relaxing to watch. It make me feel in some way that we are missing out on a beautiful life style. So getting to experience it with you all is a little slice of Heaven. Thankyou
When I was young I always thought of the leaves falling down covering the ground to protect and nourish it for the spring. Y’all make me miss home so very much!!♥️
What a fabulous life you have Tipper. I would so love to live the good life too. God, family, heritage, tradition and the mountains what more do you need ? (And don't forget a great garden too !!!!!!) ❤️
That kindling cracker looks really handy. And your land, the trees, are about at the point our leaves were about two weeks ago. This morning we got a strong wind that blew them all down, except for a few left glittering in the sun. Leaves covering the ground, the brook waters, and I feel right at home looking at your world, so much like New Hampshire, but its very own Appalachian beauty.
I wasn’t raised in the country but have lived in the country a lot of my adult life. Your videos make me think of how I was raised. And triggers memories of things long forgotten. Thank you for the memories that I didn’t have for years. Enjoy Granny while she’s here with you.
It is a good life that we live here in the mountains. I love this video meandering through life, the wonderful life in the mountains of Western North Carolina! That's a handy new tool to split the wood!
My husband & I absolutely love your videos! God is using y'all for His glory! I'm so thankful that we discovered y'all on here. We also love your daughters RU-vid channel! Oh & I eat popsicles everyday too! I've been doing that for years. Where do you buy yours? Walmart doesn't have them. I'm gonna guess Kroger?
I so enjoyed your vlog tonight. Your property, the leaves, your toasty fire and the wonderful music you played. In my family we had a player piano!!! None of us had good voices but we belted out the old Irish songs anyway. Danny Boy and When Irish Eyes are smiling but my favorite was Yes We Have No Bananas!!!! Your songs are lovely. Makes you wonder where your soul would go for sure! I still have that piano and I was looking at the rolls which came from my grandmother and went through a couple house fires but were saved. Lots of old time songs and great memories. Your daughters will have so many wonderful memories making music together with you. Happy Fall to you.
There are so many things to love about this video. The nasturtium leaves with frost are especially lovely. The singing had such beautiful harmony. I really enjoyed this.
Enjoyed this ! Love everything! The leaves were very beautiful around your home ! The food looked delicious! The flowers beautiful! The frost is even beautiful, although it kills. I love a good fire in the old wood stove, so warm and cozy! Matt can start a fire in a creek ...😉..loved the music too ! Thanks for sharing your life and the beauty where you live tipper! God bless y'all....🙏❤
Really enjoyed this video, one of the best you've done. Nothing like a wood fire, the beautiful trees, water and loved the playing and singing. God Bless.
Thank you Tipper! Enjoyed seeing the leaves fall and the sound of the creek! Matt knows how to build a fire! I've lived in a city a good portion of my life only lately have had to build a fire when we had snow and rolling power blackouts here in central Texas
I love that in your videos you show how, in these beautiful mountains that we are fortunate to live in, that each season has its own sound. When we step outside, it even has its own feel. It’s something that we can experience each day. ❤️
Thank you so much Tipper, for everything you do to bring us along, to celebrate with you. It is really beautiful there. Our leaves are just beginning to turn, here in Texas. ♥️🙏🤠 and then my heart broke with the frost. Tipper this is a wonderful video. Thank you so much for sharing “the fall of the year” with us.
The Fall colors are really taking off up there, Gotta love it. It's hard to be quiet on those cold mornings when headed to one of my deer stands and having to walk through the leaves, that I call Cornflakes 😂. That small kindling splitter is great and the food and music tops everything off 🙂
Enjoy watching yall's preparations for winter. Always enjoy watching you cooking and preparing meals. This may be my favorite song that yall sing. You really have a knack for capturing the sights and moods of the changing seasons and family life. Can't say enough good about your videos making me feel I'm there also.
Our trees are almost completely nekked. One day glorious colours, next day none. Our temperatures have been in the 70s. the last couple of days. Warm for our part of the world. Eastern Ontario, Seaway Valley.
WHAT PURE BEAUTY.!!!!!!! NEED I SAY MORE. THANK YOU TIPPER. I REALLY NEEDED TO SEE THIS TODAY. WHAT A BLESSING Y'ALL ARE. Jeri Whittaker 10/26/2022 Near Athens, Georgia
It was my first year growing nasturtium this year. I tried a recipe for pickling the seeds with part of my seeds and seed saved the rest. I dehydrated some of the flowers and leaves too for tea concoctions. It was a beautiful plant.
What a great video🥰. I loved seeing the day after the frost. This has been the longest loveliest Fall I’ve seen in awhile, The weather here in KY and TN has been just perfect!
Cheryl and I streamed this on Roku last night. I'm back this morning to give it a thumbs-up and to comment. There is something about this 25th edition that drew me to rewatch the first My Life in Appalachia video you uploaded more than two years ago, Tipper. It was a reminder of how much time has passed, how much we've learned about your family, and even got me thinking how I came to find Celebrating Appalachia. I posted an explanation of the latter in the comment section of your very first video. We had an unusually warm day, yesterday, and took advantage of it to clean the chimney and bring in more firewood. We also have been using the woodstove on cold days. Before long, we'll be lighting our last match of the season, and that fire will continue though April. Heating oil is $5.80/gallon here. Thank God for wood heat!
Sending you and your family love and best wishes from Kentucky. I love your videos and especially enjoy watching you cook in your cozy country kitchen.
Tipper, I probably enjoyed this video more so than any one of your others thus far. I guess it was because it had varied content. The outdoor scenes, Matt's demonstration of the Kindling Cracker, the family music, and of course your cannin' and cookin'. The only thing missing was seeing both the girls, Granny, and Olive.....LOL. P.S. Matt probably doesn't know this, but for many people who don't know how to start a proper fire in a wood stove, he just provided a great how to lesson.
I love this video ,summer ifs so hot and miserable here when fall finally comes in late October and November it makes me wish we had one month of summer sometimes and fall all over again
Thoroughly enjoyed this video Miss Tipper! That breakfast sure looked delicious. Love that smoke rollin out the chimney as well as the sounds of the creek and the beauty of the leaves and all of Nature in Appalachia. We bought one of those kindling splitters last year and it does work great. Thanks for sharing y’all’s little piece of heaven here on earth. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🍁🍁🍂🍂😇😇❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻
