    Dear Tipper, Im sorry you broke your rear, and have a dent still to this day, but let me express my thanks for making me chuckle because I have not had my mind off of my mom since she died a little over a week ago at age 92. We buried her only a little over 48 hours ago. And when you went into your fall and how you didnt break anything except you broke your rearend, I can honestly say, it was something that worked to temporarily and completely take my mind off of the internal sorrow and loss I've been feeling for days. So you just never know what your stories and your channel is doing to help people. Your story just really made me chuckle aloud. Thank you sweet lady. God bless you and yours. Take care. 🙏

    Our Dads sound a lot alike. There used to be a man named Sterling Marple who built houses in our town. He took a liking to Dad when Dad was young and he hired him to help with some of the building jobs that he did. Dad said he learned a lot from Sterling and Dad was always able to do whatever needed done at our house. I remember only once when Dad hired a job done and that was when he and Mom had an addition built on to our home around 1986. My husband knew nothing about building anything when we were married and Dad taught him a lot over the years. He's grateful now as he can do a lot of our projects himself. The older generation really took things into their own hands and took life seriously. I think we need more of that today.

    I am so glad I am not the only one who is not as steady on their feet as they used to be! Not that I want anyone else to fall, but it makes me not feel so bad about getting older knowing I am not the only one! 😊 I am only 52 but over the last few years I have fallen 3 times! Two of those times I tripped and landed on my knee and scraped it up so deep that it took about three months to heal! The other time I was in my kitchen cleaning out a cool mist humidifier and stepped on the cord that was hanging on the floor and I fell to the ground and into the refrigerator and pantry and broke my pinky finger so bad that I had to have two surgeries on it! I never thought I'd see the day I would be someone who was prone to falling! I am thankful to be able to get older, but I wish I still felt as young, energetic, and steady as I used to! LOL

I loved my beetles they rarely got stuck to where I couldn't get them out.

Seems like modern man pays other people to do things, then lose their physical fitness, then pay somebody to make them workout at a gym and get fit again. I am only as fit as I am thanks to having a lot of yard-work to do out here in the country (gyms/fitness clubs don't appeal to me). If we moved to the city I think my body'd fall apart, lol.

    If you find yourself in Petersburg when you're back east, there's this place called Blue Willow Tea Room that's essentially the ground floor of a three story antique shop. Nearly everything in the tea room has a price tag on it and then you can shop your way into the rest of the building. If getting caffeinated and then browsing through old croquet sets and armoires excites you, it's a great stop. Were I not hours away they'd probably have all of my money.

    Speaking of falls, several years ago my husband and I were painting the soffit. Actually he wouldn’t climb that high so I said heights don’t bother me so I will do it. I climbed up the extension ladder with a can of paint and brush and just at the top the ladder slid down and I fell in a huge shrub. What a bruise I had on my backside! My husband bragged I fell still holding the paint can and didn’t spill a drop 😊 Next time, he braced that ladder so this wouldn’t happen again.

    Tipper, watching you harvest your bean seeds made me think of my mama’s hands. I think someone wrote a song about their mama’s hands. So I suppose it isn’t an original thought. But my mama was an old school type of woman. I miss her terribly since she’s gone home to Jesus.
    I was reminiscing about how my mama’s hands were soft and warm when I was sick or needed comforting. They were hard to work the garden. They were nimble to pray the rosary. They wore scars from accidental burns and cuts. They were tough to teach lessons. They were shaky as she aged. They were still and cold when she left us. I’ll always remember the feel of my mama’s hands.

    Boy Howdy, your stories about falling were making me feel the OUCH!!! And I totally relate to the fear. I went to my daughter's house today to do some much needed pruning of old-growth Rhododendrons, Lilacs, and other overgrown shrubbery around the property. She and her family weren't at home while I was there. More than a few times I was very tempted to get the ladder out to lop off some of the higher branches. Decided to pass on that idea, because the places I'd have to set up the ladder were just too uneven, soft, and precarious! Not too long ago, I wouldn't have even thought twice about it. Aging definitely puts us through some changes, doesn't it? I have a hard time accepting them... Hey, I can't wait to see how the steps and walkway turn out. That is going to make things SO much easier. Yay, Matt!!! Continued prayers for Granny. Peace be with you. 💚

    I feel for Katie when you were talking about her breaking her tailbone. I've broke mine twice. The first time was when I was 18, as kids do, I opened my friends car door and just plopped into the seat, and she had a little VW that the passenger seat wasn't securely connected right and the top of it came unhooked from the bottom and my tailbone hit a small metal box where it should have been connected and it cracked my tailbone. That's a kind of pain that is hard to describe, but it does take your breath away for a few minutes. And the 2nd time was when I was hit by a drunk driver in a hit and run which landed my front bumper wrapped around a tree. And you're right Tipper, those kinds of injuries don't fully heal and will follow you throughout your life with pain. I worry about her now during birth, because it could easily cause more pain. Bless her heart.

    Y’all are both hard working people for sure. I agree it best to move as much as you can, while you can, because when you get up in your 60’s it gets harder to do as much. It goes down hill after your 60’s if one does keep moving and doing. I fell a couple of years back just walking through a door, tripped and fell right into the wall. I cracked 2 ribs. Most painful thing I have ever experienced. About 10 years back I fell down my back porch steps. I damaged my left leg and still to this day I have a dent in my leg between my angle and calf. I was just thankful each time I didn’t break anything. I do have a fear going down steps and watch what I do walking through doors. I reckon that fear will never leave me.

    My livelihood was mostly made doing clerical work with electric typewriters and computers from simple up to much more sophisticated ones. I did pricing, quotations and contracts for a wood interior stair and railing company for 27 years. After a nine and a half hour day grinding away at such, I was tired and quite ready to go home at the end of most days. The brain represnts about 2% of one's body weight, but burns 20% of your calorie intake doing all the concious and sub-concious activities brains do.

It should be getting about time to start your first fire of the season. I really look forward to the videos you upload on Sundays and I enjoy listening to you and Matt just having a casual conversation about your memories and your daily life. It's so nice to see a married couple spend time together just talking. I think that is disappearing in today's hurried culture and that's part of the reason people end up divorcing. You and Matt are not just husband and wife, you're best buddies too and that makes a huge difference in a marriage. 💕

    Last night was the first night here in FL I slept under warmer covers. I'm looking at the colors over your shoulders, it's so pretty! We don't have that yet. Goodness, those squash are huge! The nasturtium blossoms are edible and have a nice flavor similar to a light black pepper. They are good as a pretty on top of a salad and taste delicious. Watching Matt talk about putting the steps in, that's a great idea. I was thinking maybe putting in some rock or concrete block behind the boards as support for when the boards rot. LOL I love how y'all toast with your popsicles. Talking about falling, my daughter has a puppy at that zoomie happy stage, and I'm so afraid of him tangling my feet. I've been teaching him to sit if he wants petting, but he's also old enough to get a pop on the nose for jumping. I'm a little older than y'all, and scared of getting stove up. My back, hips and knees are not good anymore just from my working life. Be careful. None of us are getting any younger.
    I'm looking at finding a smallish piece of land up near you, north GA maybe. I'm having some life changes happening and it's time to look at a new home land. Can't afford NC, but GA maybe. Listening to Matt talking about building, my daddy and his build partner would buy falling apart houses and fix them to sell. That was in the 60s. They used hand tools, not electrics. It was hard work. I remember taking over thermoses of water and tea to them, and going to tell them lunch was ready, and them sitting in our backyard at the end of the day having iced tea and then a beer while they had sausages on the grill, or hamburgers. We were little, I was 5 or 6. But I've always had physical outdoor jobs. I'm concerned about my future and what I can do, but I sure am going to try. I just can't stay here, and need to look a good future. I won't be building, I'll be buying a small one with enough space to garden for my food, have some chickens and my dogs and cats, and quiet except for nature around me.
    Blessed be to your family, you give me such peace. Thank you.

    I used my trustee 20 year old sawzall this summer to open a wall into an extra bedroom to expand my living space-it was not 20 minutes until I was framing it in. Glad to have this cooler weather, good time to get outdoor projects done for spring. Those stairs are going to be nice Matt!

    Y'all talking about aches and pains and how hard it is to fall or otherwise hurt ourselves at this stage of life (I'm 53 too) helps me understand that a lot of my health problems are just age and not from the autoimmune disease I have. Helps me not feel sorry for myself lol. Really, it does help to know the difference. Thank you.

    Squash leaves & elephant plant leaves also collect water. It's always a blessing to see the squash leaves turn up & hold water when it rains!!!

    My husband and I grew nasturtiums for the first time this summer, and we truly enjoyed the blooms and greenery. We didn’t eat them, but we were just really thankful to you’ns to learn about them. I don’t reckon we’ll ever live another summer season without them, now. ❣️🇺🇸❤️‍🔥

    Here on the south east coast of Florida we are happy when we get up and it’s in the 70s! We had such a hot summer this year and still getting storms that are cranking up out in the ocean. I can’t wait for November 30 so our hurricane season will be over with for the year. Had a doctors appointment today and my husband and I both got our flu shots for the flu season. Your winter squash did really good. Yeah it looks like y’all are about ready to put everything to bed for the winter. I hope y’all have a wonderful week. Hugs from the southeast coast of Florida. Keeping granny in our prayers.😎🦩🌞🦩😎

    It's so nice to sit here, late at night and listen to y'alls conversation. I have been so busy and Lordy mercy everything else going on in the world is just plain nuts right now. I appreciate the cadence of your videos, your conversations and your every day life. It brings me back home. These simple things; the stories laced with the birds chirping in the background, pausing for thoughtful silence, katydids buzzing in the background and even the light filtering through those beautiful green trees makes my heart happy. Thank you for it all.

    Well the cold 🥶 air hit here yesterday morning. Was 36, then this morning was 34 & the high here in Scaly was 48. I loved hearing that blue Jay, screaming in the background & that woodpecker. Proud of Matt for eating such a healthy breakfast. Tipper, you’re right about falling, not easy as you get older. I’ve said to many people, we don’t fall like we use to as kids. Take care y’all, enjoy the cooler air. I didn’t make it to the Brasstown Fall Festival, maybe next year. God bless & keep you, see ya next time. 😊❤😊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

    I was toting a sheet of plywood up a ladder. Gust of wind came and caught that plywood and when that happens it’s like a sail. Instead of letting go I held on and it took me to the ground. It bruised me up good but luckily no broke bones. I’m very cautious on ladders now. Falls hurt more than they use too.

    Matt, you made me cry when you brought up a sawzall. Sweet memories of my husband of 45 years! I got him one once and he loved it! Lucky the guy at the store knew what he meant! I didn't know what I was looking for!

    I fell off a ladder in my late 30s onto the hood of a car. The car had a ridge down the middle of the hood. I landed on that ridge with my tailbone and cracked it. I was two years getting to the point where that tailbone didn't hurt anymore if it got bumped. Whew!

    I never had a favorite time of year until I moved to south eastern Kentucky! It is in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains and it is stunning! We had a frost last night so I harvested a ton of stuff today, but I did not even get to! But it’s out in the greenhouse under cover so I will be doing that I’ll probably tomorrow! I was not able to let my beans dry on the bone because of the cabbage worm that was eating them up and I just couldn’t keep up caring For them. I’ve been not feeling well for quite some time, and I certainly hope and pray that it’s not Lyme disease! Please pray for me! Thank you so much!

    Hello Matt and Tipper, the best time to till your garden area is on one of the coldest day to kill bugs and the eggs that lay dormant. If you have a mini tiller you could also till the raised bed to expose the little creatures to the extreme cold to rid them as well. You will still have a few the next garden season but they will be the ones that didn't get the grounds turned. We had our first cool day Sunday it was nice . God bless

    It was cold this morning ( 36 degrees) , and the older I get the more I feel it . Different weather pattern this year , the cold air is slamming into us instead of easing in over time . Comfrey is good for the bones . Stubbed my toe on a ottoman this passed week , almost cried . First thing I did was rub Comfrey ointment on it , relieves most of the pain . Tell Matt there are times when I want to go outside an holler , but can't because of too many neighbors . 🐓🐓🐓
