I would like Mat to record his daddy when he goes hunting with him. We could meet his dad. ❤😊
I love that idea ..
I love listening to y’all. Have a great week.
That would be AWESOME. A deer camp cookin' campfire & storytellin' session!
I love the Idea of Meeting Matt's Daddy & icing on the cake would be to hear some of His old Stories.. We had our 1st Freeze in MO.. & a few snow flurries & gone. I PRAY GRANNY IS DOING WELL.. Enjoy You & Matt tell Stories just like the Guest you've had. Glad Matt has had Success SO far Hunting. WOW if we got to get that many deer limit we wouldn't have so many homeless or Hungry people maybe.
I really enjoy your videos. So good to see more of Matt and you together. In a crazy world it is nice to see calm and normal.
Thank you 😊
Deer camp memories are one of those things you never forget. We had some good times and lots of funny experiences. Thats another of those things i fear will be lost to the younger generations.
I'm with Matt, it's hard to beat country ham and biscuits. Thank you for sharing Tipper and Matt.
Your vlogs make me so happy. Makes me forget all the bad in the world ❤
No trails, but when I drive by where my grandmother had a farm, I always slow down and look for her....We used to bring fruit and vegetables up to the road stand and sell. I loved her, I loved the farm. It was my happy place. It was purchased by a sportsmans club and is now all overgrown. I still drive slowly by and look. Just in case. Sometimes I think that if I see her, it will be my time to go...and follow her into the afterlife.
I remember my mother borrowing the neighbor's mule and plowing the garden. She also had a push plow which I remember she would plow the whole garden. She was a hard working woman. She passed away 7 1/2 years ago. I miss her.
Love those memories!! I'm sorry you lost her.
Love seeing the garden from a camera looking down on the home and raised garden…can better see the layout of home and garden. It all looks so beautiful.
Thank you!
I with Matt on the painting. I loathe painting. 😂😂
Painting makes me nervy, hate it.
Thank you for sharing hunting stories and Kat in the North.
I watched some of her videos from camp 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s. So many stories in those photos.
My husband is a third generation share holder in a hunting and fishing club in VA.
We call it ‘camp’ as well. Such a wonderful place and real part of our family history. The club is 104 years old! It was established in 1919.
That is great!! Love the longevity of it 😁
Love all the different places around the yard that you have to sit down and rest. Love the way you have arranged the planting spots.
I'm new here, but the people of Western Kentucky love yall, God bless you🙏
Welcome and thank you 😊
My great great grandmother would walk to church that's what mama said ❤I didn't meet her I wouldn't born mama said that tell you how good she loved lord ❤️ God bless yall 👍 and your family 🙏
squirrels love a good pumpkin roll and a strong cup of coffee
My Dad used to say that every room in our house would be two inches wider if you could keep a paint brush out of my Mom's hands. She was constantly wanting to change colors, textures, etc.
Here in Oklahoma we're expecting a hard freeze tonight- 10-29. It has been raining, cold rain and I'm hoping it doesn't freeze and be slick, lose electricity, etc.. I went hunting with my daddy from the time I was about 7, until he died at 74 years old, 28 years ago today. This video brought back a lot of dear memories of those times in the woods together. He taught me about the animals, how they acted,etc. He taught me how to be quiet in the woods and read signs so we could find the animals. Thanks for sharing your stories, memories you'll hold dear all of your life. Enjoyed the visit, stay safe and GOD bless
I would love it🥰I’ll trade you for Florida! 🥰😍🥵
And, love your memories you shared. My dad left me today 17 years ago today. 😢 It never gets easy, but his memories and the mountain culture he taught me will NEVER be forgotten. ❤
Tipper, so gracious of you to give a nod to a RUclipsr you enjoy. Here's one Matt might enjoy: Brownville's Food Pantry for Deer. They support the wild deer population in their area of Maine by supplying acorns, oats and apples in feeders during the winter. The deer yard on their property and the McMahon family have cameras on the feed troughs which go live on Dec. 16th this year. It's so lovely and peaceful to watch those beautiful deer come in to feed during the winter months. I was thinking y'all might enjoy the tranquil beauty of their videos.
I was thinking the same thing. Love watching that channel and seeing all the deer, especially the large bucks.
Thats is a neat channel to watch I made a replica of his bird feeder that he shows up there and put in the back yard
It's at the end like the last five minutes!
Matt has become quite chatty since he retired lol We enjoy his quick wit too Thanks for sharing him with us
God bless
The coyote problem is interesting. I have had deer keep their fawns just outside of our fence. I think they take advantage of our dogs’ protection and our presence.
Smart deer you have there. You’re helping balance the two populations and saving many a mama deer the grief of losing a baby.
When I lived in N. Idaho there was a bounty on coyotes. I don’t remember how much it was or if it still is in effect.
blessings you are helping take the edge off this crazy beautiful sometimes scary world
Oh my! Country ham, grits, eggs, biscuits and red eye gravy might be the best meal I’ve ever eaten! I used to love hog killin day. Mama would cook up a big pot of liver and lites stew and cornbread! Growing up on a farm and living off the sweat of your brow is the BEST life. I am so grateful that I got to grow up like that.
I got tickled at Matt's skunk story! 😄 I love hearing stories of the old days. My parents and grandparents used to talk about the same things. God bless you all.
Matt: well I’m ready to go in because I know what’s in there on the kitchen counter.
Tipper: yea I made Matt some country ham and biscuits. Me: now that’s a Miss Cindy special.
Well we get to meet Matt’s Dad? Would love to see more of granny and hear her beautiful voice singing.
I hope so 😊 thank you
We have finally had a cool front come through Texas! It was 84 degrees today and has dropped down to 46 at 11:25pm. Thank you Lord! We need cooling off.
Thanks Tipper and Matt.
Your mentioning the days when people walked made me recall my childhood days when my mother , sister and I would walk to town . Sometimes it was just to go "window shopping " for nothing in particular . The sidewalks would be full of people because those were the days before shopping centers and all the stores were '" downtown ". My favorites were the two "ten cent stores " and two hardware stores . There was also Sears and Roebuck and Montgomery Ward. This was in the early to mid 50's and down town started to fade away as shopping centers became more common . Walking to town faded with it except in my memory .
Love those memories 😊
the autumn colours love it; hi from Ireland
Hello Ireland... greetings from North Texas 😀
Hello from Ohio! 😊
Hi Ireland, from the mountains of North Idaho 👋🏻
Thank you!
Greetings from North Texas! We are having your cooler weather here in Richardson Texas. Many blessings to the family!
That is great 😊 Thank you for watching!
Great video! I watch a lot of British archeology. When they have a great deal of manual labor to do, especially where walking is concerned, they use the pharse, "It's Shank's Pony all the way." Seems like a phrase our ancestors brought with them to Appalachia.
My father used "shanks mare" a lot! Brings back memories. ❤❤❤
Your videos are so calming. I really enjoy them. Brings back so many memories of growing up in the Ozark Moutains.
I'm so glad! Thank you!
Great job on the steps, Matt!
Good morning, Tipper, hope y’all are doing well, cold weather’s coming, I think it’s time to gather up the last of the gardens goodness and pull out your long johns and stoke up the wood stove, cause according to the weather man it’s going to be 26 degrees in your neck of the woods tomorrow morning. Here were I am about 32. Those marigolds are really pretty, they really brighten up your day, you could bring some of your last flowers inside to enjoy, that’s what I would do. 🌼🌸 I’ve bought pretty leaves inside, but they dry up pretty fast. 🍂
Y’all take care , stay warm. Tell Granny I think of her everyday and pray she’s feeling better. ❤️🙏 May God’s Goodness continue to Bless you . 🙏❤️🙏
Thank you!! Hope you've had a good day 😁
I just plain love y'all - 💕
😀 Thank you
You’re so right Tipper, we have all these conveniences yet people are stressed and angry. We had our first mass shooting last week here in Maine. Just heartbreaking. Congratulations to Matt on his deer harvest. As always, thanks for another great video.
Looks like the bees are getting their last hurrah too. Yall have done a wonderful job there. I enjoy watching all of it.
Thanks Tipper and Matt for the visit. It is so nice to sit a spell with you both. Your family reminds me of good old fashioned family times. God bless you and your family and praying for Granny.
I just wanted to say hello now from your friend in nursing home while I was able to now. Will come back to finish your video in the wee hours. Ya'll look very relaxed. Always so nice to see you both Tipper and Matt!
Bless you Buz! I am still praying for you and Sandra!! We appreciate you so much!
@CelebratingAppalachia Thank you so much for everything Tipper!
@@buzsalmon Bless you Buz!!
First hard frost last night. Got down to 29 here in Maryville. I covered up the habanero and ghost pepper that have just started producing in the last month. The rest of the peppers I picked what was left, and stripped all the leaves and tender stems off for the composter. The garden is finally about done for this year. Looking forward to celebrating the harvest for the rest of the year !!!!!! My thoughts are with you all and Granny. Can’t wait to see the new addition to your family !!!!!
I guess someone near by is target practicing? I like how y'all don't even flinch at the sound!!
Thank you Pressley family……
Thank you Matt and Tipper for sharing you day with us stay safe . Have a blessed week
Always love the Sunday night chats. 😊
Thanks for another great video. As always praying for continued blessings on this wonderful family ❤
I am loving the drone shots!! It's turned cold in Dallas, TX. Mid-30's this morning!
Living on the Gulf Coast USA 🇺🇸 I’am ready for some cool weather and I know rain 🌧 is a Beautiful Blessing from God so ready for rain 🌧 Mobile Alabama has been known for it ‘s rain 🌧 weather but none in Forever 😢our weather pattern has been different ❤❤unfortunately
Our deer limit in Missouri is two. After hearing the NC and GA limits, I do believe we have received the short end of the stick 😁. I had no idea that the limits varied so much from state to state.
I grew up in SC. There are more deer than you could shake a stick at. They die of starvation or diseases if they aren't culled.
❤ love watching you all. My little Frenchie now loves strawberry Out Shine popsicle’s.
Hey guy's, that drone shot was pretty cool. Y'all are top notch in my book. Have a good week and God bless.
Thank you 😊
One of my favorites, Tipper. Loved hearing you and Matt talk about old times. I'm really enjoying the drone shots, too. Especially with the gorgeous leaf color they're picking up. We've got a freeze watch for Tuesday night in North Ga, and I'm not looking forward to the sudden plunge into cold.temps.
Continuing to keep Granny and the rest of you in my prayers.
First freeze today in West Texas. Like it or not, here it comes.
"Putin' it to sleep", your garden, so poetic, makes one anxious to see it wake up again. Always a pleasure to hear your stories of the olden days, runs the same in my country. Be well.
Enjoy your Appalachian stories.
What an interesting conversation . Enjoyed the chat Til next time Take care God Bless
Enjoy all your videos, & the girls too. Here in Ohio its been a beautiful Fall, now it seems like the cold winds of Winter the few days. I love Fall, just not the real bone chilling cold.
Here in northern Kentucky on our 165 acres, there are so many deer. I have killed 2 or 3 over the years from our porch. I have hunted with my husband for 15 years now. I am the butcher in the family myself. Wish you all the luck with more deer.
Your soil looked so rich. You have done a great job! Love the drone shot.
I'm in east middle TN and we are getting cold weather and rain tomorrow (Monday). Can't wait! We also need the rain so bad.
Thank you so much for my Sunday evening entertainment~
To make you feel better about the cold, it was a chilly 11 degrees this morning in North Idaho. Our plants all fell over. I looked at your weather and you guys are still doing good.
Ooshie that is cold 😊
That is chilly. It was 23 here in my neck of the woods. We’re in for a warming trend though back into the 40’s and 50’s during the day for a spell.
Nice you've amended your garden beds to such a lovely state. We have clay here in the Willamette Valley, not red. I loved the Little House on the Prairie books as a young girl. Read them all several times. I even bought a complete set for myself as an adult. The very first book starts off with pa shot a deer.
Enjoy your warm weather. We got 11 inches of snow here in Colorado springs, Colorado last night.
The unusual warm weather has just left us in Massachusetts and the more seasonable cool weather is now upon us. I'll miss yours and Matt's popsicle talks. But I love the way your cleaned up garden looks now. Hugs Tipper.
I love your popsicle talks❤ Maybe you could still do them during rge winter while you sit inside in front of a fire 😊 I have to admit...I've been eating a lot of popsicles lately because you make them look so delicious 😋
My father’s mother was born Lucy Virginia Flowers in lower North Carolina.
My Dad plowed with a horse-drawn plow, too.
Hey Tipper and Matt liked the story about the skunk 🦨 lol
She’s the jewel in a bowl of diamonds
Thanks for the heads up on The Memories Videos … I’ve subscribed to them too now thanks to y’all…. 😊
Wonderful 😊
Matt I agree that painting is not so fun! It’s the prep I especially dislike. Or when you step in the paint by accident! I painted every room when we moved into this old house except the kitchen. I keep saying I’ll get to it but honestly I am not excited about it! You sure live in a beautiful place. On the news we heard you were getting frost so maybe your next video we’ll hear about it. Take care.
I always enjoy dropping by to see what you and Matt are doing around y’all’s homestead. My mom always had us plow the garden several times during the cold weather. Like Matt said as long as the grounds not frozen it can be tilled. It really does seem to kill out any bug larvas that’s hiding. When my husband plowed up mine garden several times during cold weather my garden had the best produce to harvest. The years he only tilled it once it just seemed I was fighting all kinds of bugs, voles and moles. So I’m a firm believer in tilling up as much as you can during cold weather.
Your story about your girls not liking having to pick the rocks out of the garden reminds me of when my 2 girls were small. We lived on a farm and I had a 3/4 acre kitchen garden. The first year we put it out I was working and the only time I could get in the garden to do real work was on the weekends. My 2 girls were 6 and 7 years old and would rather take a beating than to picking out rock. For some reason my husband and I had to go down to the Saturday flea market. While there I ran across a man selling Indian arrow heads and an idea hit me. I asked him how much he wanted and he told me a quarter each and asked me how many I wanted. I told him that the price was too high for the amount I would need. When I told him why I needed so many he got a big laugh out of my plan and told me to scoop up a hand full for a dollar. The next weekend, as usual my girls grumbled about going to the garden so I just left them in the house. About 5 minutes later I can running through the door yelling, "Lookie what I found!" and they ran to see. There in my hand with a little dirt was a big Indian arrow head. Their eyes got as big a saucers! I told them to just stay inside and watch cartoons and I was going back to see if I could find some buried Indian treasure. "Treasure" they asked. I told them, "Sure, where there's Indian arrow heads there's always a chance of finding Indian treasure." That's all it took. They about run me over trying to get to the garden to find the 'Treasure' before I could. I scattered those Indian arrows all over the garden under rocks. By the end of the day you couldn't find a rock for love nor money and each girl had several arrow heads in their pockets but sadly no treasure.
😀 Love that!
Miss Hicks 97 😮what an Angel 👼
Loved video❤❤❤
Love the Drone shots.
Hello Tipper and Matt..Everytime. I watch your videos I m just home sick.. My parents both have dementia. They are up in age now ..Im so glad i got your two cookbooksso i can continue to cook the eay my and grandmother used to cook. Congratulations Matt on your two deer. Thats some good eating. I have a feeling Matt knows exactly how to cook it. God bless. Be safe.🇺🇸🌹❤️
Dementia is no fun , my father is nearly 93 but thinks he is 200 and his alzheimer's dementia really started after a stroke , Christmas day 2020 , no lasting paralysis fortunately . He is in a care home now , for his safety as well as care . They call dementia the long goodbye .
It's a awful disease. My mom had a stroke and from that time on she was never the same. It looks like my mom but acts like a completely different person.. We were the best of friends and now I'm doing good to hold a conversation.. It's so sad. My dad can get around but he has lost his mind.. They are both in a care facility for their safety..Please pray for both of them..❤🙏
Enjoyed the video. Love your talks ❤❤
Always such a pleasure to hear you two.
Love the conversation and beautiful weather. Thanks for sharing.prayers and blessings to y’all
Hey Matt & Tipper, I wanted to say it looks like you got a pair of good shoes finally- I‘be been forgetting to ask that. They look comfortable.You two are such hard workers! I really enjoy you two working together .Thanks for taking time out of your busy life to share with us. The Nasturtiums are beautiful! My favorites too - they are so versatile. Much ❤ & prayers especially for Granny. Think of her all the time. ❤ from Colorado.
Awesome stuff friends; God bless your family!
I always look forward to your videos on Sunday!
Yay! Thank you!
Another 80 degree and sunny day for tomorrow in our portion of NC. Then Tuesday it should be only 49 and rain, brrrrr! I prefer a gradual temperature change. Loved the drone view of your property. Hope y’all have a wonderful week. Take care and God bless! 😀❤️
Enjoyed the visit 🎃👍
We got a lot of cleanup to do in the garden too. We been doing a little at a time. We are dreading the cold. It's suppose to start Tuesday in the 40s and 20s at night. It's that time of year,but boy I dread it. Love to hear yalls stories. Oh I bet that country ham biscuit is good. So glad Miss Rachel is doing good. Yall have a blessed night.
Praying for you both 🙏🏼. I know you have a lot on your plates ❤
Another enjoyable visit with y’all. Love hearing all your stories. Take care, stay warm, supposed to be 23 here in Scaly Mountain, Wednesday I think. 😊❤😊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Awwwh, look at that little “lettuce” 🤗 Its like, Tipper and Matt, “Pick Me!“ 🥬💚🥰
I’m glad to hear Miss Rachel is doing well. She is not the only one who can put her hands flat on the floor. None of my kids or grandkids can. My twenty plus years of yoga has kept me limber in my seventies.
Love that!!
I love hearing your stories. My Grandma had 16 children but Grandad worked in the mines, kept a huge allotment, pigs, chickens and did a bit of poaching to feed the family. He was a real hardworking family man and they knew hard times. (UK)
A good channel to watch about deer is Jimmy and Chris Houston on Twin Eagle Ranch……Jimmy has 3 channels, one about fishing and another devotional channel but this one is about deer conservation along with hunting.
Deer camp sounds like fun. Enjoy the warm weather, I got snow 😊
One of them birds in a hawk. A redtail hawk I think. I call them a squealing hawk. When you hear one and want to see it, you can't look where you heard it. You have to look all over the sky. It seems they can project their voice. Maybe they can get their prey looking in the wrong direction before they swoop down on it.
Mule and black tail deer here in southern Oregon..and you can tag one!
I harvested all of the stuff from the garden that was ready today. Parsnips, radishes, 2 eggplant, Swiss chard. I can't believe that I still have that much in northern Indiana, and it is late October. Supposed to get to lower 20's for the next few days so everything will be done. I am going to try and protect some of my lettuce and my daikon radishes to see if I can save them.
Love hanging out with y'all 💒🙏💕😇
Our weather down in Alabama is a little warmer than yalls but we will be up in yalls neck of the woods after thanksgiving. Im with Matt the rear tine tiller is a wonderful tool and i"ll also say the chain saw . It makes my Sunday after church to sit and watch yall. Still praying for Granny.
Thank you Frank! Hope you have a great week!
Summer came back to eastern NC. I walked only about a quarter mile to a deer stand yesterday afternoon and was sweating when I got there.
Matt's wishing the heat would leave for hunting too 😊
My sponge painting took 5 days and three colors.
❤❤❤❤
I love going sled riding. , great video 👍
