Tipper - any updates on your book signing schedule yet? Thank you!
@@kathryndavis2447 Yes! I planned to share the new date on Monday-but here's the info. I'll be at Alexander's Store in Blairsville GA on Saturday August 3, 2024 from 11 am to 2 pm. I hope to have another date to announce soon 😊
I have enjoyed everything you shared…I try my best to get over everything.since I can’t walk very well right now, the Music has been such a blessing. Granny and Paul, oh my how beautiful and I like how you all sing your music so you can hear every word…I hate to listen to someone that is singing and you can not understand the words…thank you Lord for this family the way they are witnessing for you…messages in the way they live their lives…bless them Lord, I ask in Jesus Name.
@@benitastevens612 We appreciate you! Thank you 😊
I’m sitting here eating cherry tomatoes that I grew myself & watching this video…46 and never had a garden before but you inspired me…😊
Well I am 49 and never planted either but I'm trying with lantana.. they are going ok😅
Isn’t it a wonderful feeling and such a joy to see how God made everything work if we do. ❤
Oh I just love that!! And yay for tomatoes 😊 thank you!
@@grammyb5216 it’s the best feeling…such pride…
M y only daughter retired from the military and can't wait to start her own garden
How beautiful that guitar playing is. Simply beautiful!
One thing for certain….. Tipper and I are two blessed ladies who have men who can cook and serve them breakfast. I love watching your show. I sure wish I was physically able to do a garden like you all. That time has passed for me….. so reliving it through those who can helps me. God bless you all as you welcome another little one. Best days of my life.
Miss mama Tipper, you are a light in this world and your channel is sheer delight. Thank you 🙏
Wow, thank you
Be blessed you have an Eastern Box Turtle-you have a precious female who looks to be 28 years old. If I remember correctly, you had been living on that hill about the same time as her; maybe she was their first? These animals are on the concerned list due to habitat loss - Inbrace this Tortise and what she represents as an Appalachian Native.
That is wonderful!
Yes! Please protect her! ❤
I love how easy going and laid back everyone in the families mood always is. And so down to earth. Such a blessing. And such a contrast to how most people are these days.
Love Matt's beautiful rendition of Jesus Loves me! I was singing that song to my 2 year old granddaughter today.
Thank you! That was Paul playing it 😊 my brother
Ok. I couldn't see his face
Tipper, your yard is just so beautiful with the vegetables and flowers, blueberry bushes and all. Just stunning!
That looks like a beautiful place to live! God has blessed you with fertile soil& a long growing season to enjoy the abundance provided by nature. Y'all are great stewards of the land and are truly blessed! Love the content! 🇨🇦
So nice of you
I'm very close to my mom just like you and she has had a stroke and can't speak. If you could remember her in your prayers it would be much appreciated. Her name is Faye.
I will pray for Faye!! I’m sorry she is having to go through this.
My family memories of decoration are some of my fondest memories. All the Dalia's and the huge get together and the best food ever.
Graves looks so pretty!
I can across your lovely channel by pure accident . To be honest ,I didn’t know what to make of it !
I am now truly addicted and absolutely love watching you and your gorgeous happy family . Thank you from the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I love, love the fact that your family lives on one road within sight of each other but far enough away you aren't smothering each other. It's so comforting and homey and old fashioned in the very best way. Is Matt making a spear for fishing? Lol now that I'd like to see! Tipper, if nothing else works for the squash bugs, get some diatomaceous earth and spread it around.
Thank you 😊
Yes Jesus loves us all!
As Always so Entertaining ❤❤❤dear Tipper ❤❤❤
What a beautiful, beautiful Garden!
Seeing the Terrapins brings back memories! When I was a child in the '70's I used to play with Terrapins when we visited my grandparents in Oklahoma (I'm from IA). Also, black raspberries are my absolute favorite! My grandma used to make black raspberry pie and black raspberry cobbler every summer. They were so good! Good luck with the darn squash bugs!
That looks like a great dinner!
Now that's how you start a video❤❤❤❤❤❤
Loved Paul's rendition of Jesus Loves Me! That was beautiful. Tell him thank you! Wonderful video...thanks for ending my day on a high note!
You are so welcome!
Your photography is a beautiful gift. Thank you for the flowers 💐
So nice of you thank you 😊
❤ Enjoyed seeing all of the blessings. And ALWAYS love hearing Paul play or ding. 👍🙏🥰
Thank you 😊
Watching today and always enjoying, seeing Matt putting fertilizer out and saying he was at the BIG garden was a surprise! Yep, that really is a very big garden. I know around your house. you have all kinds of little places tucked around with gardening going on and I missed anywhere before y’all talked about your big garden. I really don’t know how you keep up with all of that, lots of good food and canning and eating going on. Love your sharing your lives with us! ❤
This is one of my favorite videos from you guys! It gave me a calmness that I haven’t had for quite awhile now. Thank you.😊❤
So glad!
Oh my goodness, Tipper. Your generosity goes above and beyond. You are so sweet, humble and very grateful for the help you receive for your family. God bless you and keep you.
You are so kind! Thank you 😊
I really enjoyed the story about the black raspberries.
These are my favorite videos you do. They're so peaceful and relaxing and I LOVE the visuals always! I purposely save them to watch when I have some quiet time to myself. 😊
Glad you like them!
The garden is massive, its been gratifying watching it transform
WOW....that guitar version of "Jesus Loves Me" was absolutely fantastic!!! I had happy tears, my beloved lil toy poodle passed away in April. He was 18. I used to sing that to him all the time, and he would just listen❤ he loved it! Hearing that today brought me happy memories!!! Thank you...your channel is a blessing. May God bless you today and every day 🙏🤍 ps. Those berries were a joy to find!!!!
So glad you enjoyed it! I’m sorry you lost your little dog.
So sorry for the loss of your beloved fur baby. I know how hard it is having lost my 16 year old lab boxer mix.
@@ClaudiaThomas-c7d Thank you for the kind words. I'm sorry about your dog too!! They really are family 🌈🤍🙏🐩
Beautiful, peaceful video. Thank you.
Makes me hungry for some bacon and gravy and biscuits great video thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for watching 😊
Tipper, I love how you started this video. Quietly makin' breakfast, homemade biscuits, sawmill gravy/milk gravy/poorman's gravy (whatever name you choose) sizzling bacon, and that beautiful sound of hot coffee being poured into the cup. The rest of the video was great too! Very relaxing.
Miss Tipper, you sure are blessed. Those views through the trees, looking up to the sky is just about as close to heaven on earth as it gets. Just stunningly beautiful.
I make peppered gravy for morning breakfast…love the blueberry desert…thank you Paul for the sweet hymn.
Beautiful garden, great looking food, and beautiful people!!!❤❤❤
So nice of you thank you 😊
This was a well-done video, Tipper. Great editing. I enjoyed all the topics. When I moved to NC over 15 years ago, blackberry patches filled every vacant lot and people were always harvesting. Those lots now have neighborhoods and apartment complexes. I miss the free food.
I love picking the wild raspberries. My dad told us to watch out for copperheads. We make garlic scape pesto and freeze it. Everything looks lush and lovely. God bless.
Thank you 😊
Thankyou for the video. And to hear my Sunday School song beautifully played by Paul. ❤
A garden tour and cooking wow. Thanks Tipper
So enjoyed watching this video! So peaceful and relaxing! Love y’all’s property! God bless
y’all! 😀❤️🙏🏻
Blackberries use to be everywhere, especially close to the railroad tracks out in the country. Now it has grown so big where I use to live, you can't even find the tracks anymore😂. We have Agarita Berry bushes where I live now. They are a little tiny red berry with a pit, so jelly is about all you can make with them, but it is good. Nothing better than a Blackberry cobbler...yum yum! Beautiful video❤❤. Ok Corrie, keep walking! Maybe that will help coach Baby out!❤. Have a great week! Love listening to Paul play anytime!❤. Yes Jesus loves me!
My Granny used to make upside down blueberry, raspberry, etc fruit dessert just like that. Looks yummy!
Beautiful garden and I love the beautiful flowers you have a lovely place and family God has blessed you ❤❤
The poppies are amazing! I had only ever seen red or white ones. Wild raspberries! ❤️
This has to be one of your best video's in my opinion, was a pleasure watching it - so peaceful.
Oh thank you 😊
These types of videos make us all wish we lived in Appalachia 😊
We call the turtles tarpin...like tar pin. When I was young, we would carve our initial on the shell. Not deep...we did not harm them. Sometimes we would find the same ones again, and we knew by the initial which one of us caught it. Great memory!
❤ Loved being with Y'all.Made me feel more restful. The Cobbler was served on plates like my Granny's.😊 Praying for your Granny. and of course all of you. Soon,The New Baby will arrive! 💕🙏 Hopefully, an easy birth. Good night,Sun nearly set here.🥱🐢Was cute,for a Terrapin 😂 ❤🕊️ Lord's Blessings All.From the Foothills of the Olympics WA 🏔️☀️
I just picked about three gallon size bags of black raspberries from my son’s farm before it got too hot for me to be out. There were still so many left, but I have breathing issues so had to stop. This year they were very prolific! Plan on making jelly with them. Protect the ones you found at all costs so you can enjoy for years to come!
Please tell Paul how much I appreciated him playing Jesus Loves Me. That is my happy song I sing when I just unexpectedly feel grateful for something. And thank you for including it in this specially pretty video.
What a delightful video, Matt and Tipper! A little something of everything, from food to flowers. Enjoyed Paul's rendition of Jesus Loves Me. The only thing that could have made it better would have been for y'all to sing a little. Had all of you especially in my prayers today. ♥️ God bless you, and thanks for sharing.
The ruffly purple Poppies and Pink crepe-paper looking flowers are simply exquisite! My goodness, what a gorgeous garden.
My kind of video. Love the just day to day activities. So relaxing for me. It really is entertaining, as it relieves me of troubles of my own and changes my outlook on life.
Thank you again for sharing! Really enjoyed this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Holy cow, black raspberries! We have them up here in New Hampshire, but I haven't seen any in years. That's so cool you have them, and I hope some come up in my yard; it's already filled with wild surprises. Don't you just love when you discover little God gifts?
Black raspberries are my favorite fruit.
Well I'm just sitting here wishing my place looked like y'alls... Lol. Wow... Its just gorgeous you two👍🏻😊 The sounds of thewind.. The birds... Picking.. The water even...... All of it... So fun... And peaceful. I love homemade pimento cheese!! ❤ I love all this video. Thx for sharing😊
Thank you so much 🤗
@@CelebratingAppalachia i love your channel♥️
Tipper your Gardens and home stead is … RIGHT FINE ! As we say here in southern Indiana. My favorite is the garden with the arches(cattle panel) lovely as can be . We’ve had a ton of lightning bugs of the evening in the fields hundred of thousands it is so pretty .Tipper your video and filming is getting really good ?Cori ? I love when I can hear your brother play ..
Thank you! It was all me this time 😊
Hey Tipper, I like these videos with a little bit of everything. From making biscuits to Paul's playing and everything in between. God bless y'all.
Ya all have out so much work into everything and it’s gorgeous!!!!
What a very, very enjoyable video!❤ Thank you for this.
I’ve never seen anything except orange poppies. All the different colors are beautiful!
The garden is so pretty💕🌷
Tipper, I'm so happy you found those wild Raspberries! We used to walk the dirt road we lived on as kids and pick n eat all we could find. Mama would walk with us to get them to so she could make a cobbler like you did. They're so good! I have them all a long the side my long dirt driveway up the ridge and my Grandson walks down to get my mail and always stops and eats them. I taught all my kid's n grandkids about things like this! There's also alot of wild blue berries up on the side of the bank and into the woods! They're little but not are they Good along with the blackberries n wild strawberries! Y'alls Corn shore is looking pretty! You'll have a good sweet Corn Crop this year and I'm tickled to death for ya'll. Pops old Corn Field! I remember the story behind it that you told us about! Paul sure can pick a guitar! Of course we all grew up on that song, "Jesus Loves Me!" I used to sing it to my kids, nieces and nephews and taught them all to sing it. Even my younger brothers and sister's with me being the oldest out of the lot of us. I have one older brother but I was next and felt like I was older than him most of the time. I know I was smarter because I did everthing for them all. Mama depended on me to do things which I never really played very much except with the younger ones to keep them outta Mama n Daddy's hair and outta trouble, All the while I was washing out diapers or breaking beans or something! There was always things to do with our big family! Your flowers are so beautiful. My Daughter the out a mixture of Wildflowers n Poppy Seeds early in the Spring and the rain washed alot of them down to the corner of the yard and they've made a Beautiful big patch of flowers down there! God knew where they would do best and made that Flower Garden on the corner with the big rocks mixed in. It's beautiful with all the different colors and shapes of blooms! How's the baby doing! I'd love to see y'alls precious little man. I know he rules the house and all ya'll.. Lol. It ain't long til the other one will be here. Ain't long at all... I know you and Matt are just tickled over them soon to be 2 little baby boys! I know ya'll are! Oh, your Pesto looked so good! I've never thought about doing it that way! I'm gonna hush talking Sweetheart! Much Love and Prayers to you all... God Bless. 🙏🙏❤❤🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you! And thank you for sharing about your life 😊
When I was a lad of 5 or 6, my Aunt Thelma Bradley, who lived up the road from us, had a large raspberry patch in her yard. I remember visiting her one time In the spring and "gorging" on the delicious black goodies. I got sick and my Mom introduced me to Castor Oil. To this day when I hear about raspberries I think of Castor Oil.

What a memory Skip 😊 hope you have a great weekend!!
Thank you for this wonderful “patchwork”real life video. Simple sweet things keeps us rooted to what matters most.❤
Best video ever ❤❤❤❤❤
You found those raspberries years ago just prior to finding love, now you find them again as an indicator of the new seasons ahead as a grandmother 💙💙
😊
Thoroughly enjoyed this video! The foods looked good, all those garlic scapes! I´d call that a pesto that you made. NIce treat to hear Paul beautifully playing Jesus Loves Me 😊
Tipper Raspberries are my most favorite berries of all. I remember being a little girl and when we would go to Michigan to visit my cousins and Aunts and Uncles and Grandparents well my Aunt Laura had a big raspberry bush as soon as I got outta the car that’s the first place I ran to!
Love that!
Loved! Everything from Decoration day, dinner, dessert and Jesus Love Me... 🎶💖😊🪷
Love Katie’s poppy’s
I never wanted the video to end! Beautiful video friend.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I grew up eating what we called sawmill gravy. Made with mostly , cornmeal and a small amount of flour, milk and sausage or bacon grease. I also have eaten gravy made with flour, and chocolate gravy.
In East Texas we had what were called Mayberries or Dewberries. Dark blue and ultra prolific. Amazing for Cobblers and pies
Your videos are so interesting and fun to watch!
We always called them terrapins too! From SE Kentucky
Another lovely video. Inspired me to plant some poppies this fall
we pay respect to our parents every year.weve made that trip 20 yrs now and still hurts as bad as 1st one.😢love your garden.❤
Bless you! I know you miss them so!!
Yes Jesus loves me💕 Thank you Paul.
Katie's flowers are gorgeous. 😊
Thank you 😊
Nothing better than black raspberry jam!
😊
My mouth was watering for one of those ham sandwiches. Thank you for showing me a terrapin, prior to today I had it in my head that they were some kind of bird. Don’t laugh, I’ve lived in the city most of my life except for some time on grandma and grandpa’s farm in north Texas and I don’t remember ever seeing any turtles around there.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video 😊
What a great video ! We call them box turtles !
Tipper here is a little trick I learned from my mother for picking berries so you can use both hands. Use a belt around your waist, hook it through the bale of the bucket or an old pair of nylons tied through the bale of the bucket and hung around your neck. Frees up both hands to pick berries with. Mom would fix us kids up and off we would go to the berry patch. Works like a charm.
Great tip 😊
Ooh, 😊 showing the How-to on making cream gravy is a big bonus. Needed this and Thank You! (Love the blue mug.)
Love watching you all,look forward everyday to your videos ! Hope you soon get to meet your new little one❤
Thank you 😊
A simple yet delicious dinner! We Love to see your family gather.❤ Your terrapin 🐢 is pronounced "Tarpin" here in eastern KY.
🎶 Paul, its SO good to hear you playing that beautiful guitar. Been awhile! Man alive, you are one talented fella.
Also, spray the peppermint oil, in water....on the peas to keep the deer out
Paul is so gifted with music.
We just discovered black raspberries here this year! This is so funny. I had not ever seen them before.
😊
Pesto is also really good with spaghetti. Just cook your spaghetti and drain it and stir in a big dollop of pesto to cover the pasta.
I love pesto !!!! I’ve made it with basil, just a hint of Parmesan cheese, pink Himalayan sea salt, pine nuts and avocado oil. Oh and fresh garlic cloves. You can use any but really bit it tissues the best with pine nuts. They are expensive but it would be worth it to try at least once just so you can taste the difference. I LOVE pesto sauce as a spread on taste or for sandwiches and of course, in pasta 🍝
Hello Tipper. I have another suggestion for your garlic blooms. I just saw Becky on Acre Homestead blend them with a little oil and then using a small ice cream scoop she scooped them out onto a baking sheet. She froze them like that. When they were frozen she put them into freezer bags and kept them in her freezer. When she needs garlic in a recipe she just uses one of the garlic “pucks.” As it gets hot it disolves and is basically a substitute for garlic. I thought of you when I saw this. She has a lot of good tips. Take care. ❤️
Great tip!
I watched this as I fixed dinner..made toasted turkey sandwiches..picked.basil,dill and Swiss chard to put on them..fresh bell peppers,cucumber and wild blackberries..no rain in Va 😮
Sounds yummy!
I loved seeing the bees at work on your beautiful flowers. Thanks
Loved the video thank you for sharing as always.
You are so welcome!
Oh Tipper, what a beautiful, peaceful and calming video. I thank you so much for bringing us all joy, and peaceful hearts. May blessings be with you and your beautiful family always 😘❤
I put pesto in everything including eggs. I have to try your idea! Those turtles are so beautiful and cute!
