  • Along with celebrating and preserving Appalachian heritage and culture I'm always hoping to shine a light on the good life that I live in the Appalachian Mountains of Western North Carolina. I hope you enjoy this peek into my life.
    Song: If Today Was the Day written by The Louvin Brothers. Performed by Corie, Tipper, and Paul.

    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'. ♥️🙏

    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. 🙌🏼

    • @CelebratingAppalachia

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.
