Something about the production quality of this video makes me feel so peaceful...like it’s all gonna be okay. Thank you, Tipper.
I agree, Rebecca, It was very peaceful, felt like home
The way she does everything takes me back to my childhood when life was a little simpler.
Everything. Everything is going to not only be okay - but better than we can imagine. Yep, some more gritty times before for just awhile longer - but know it in your heart. Everything is going to be GREAT. 😁 Thank you, Tipper.
It’s her voice
Tipper, your videos capture the simple things (and most important IMO), that most of us hurry past and take for granted. If we could all slow down and consider the true joys of this world, life would mean so much more. Thank you.
Thank you Ron-that is so kind 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia No Ma'am, so TRUE.
Ron…you are SO right!! Thanks for reminding me of that!
@RonRay No true words were said.....I usually make a comment, but, your comment is complete. 😊
I loved this video. All y'all have such a wonderful life together. One particular scene really caught my eye. Tipper, it was when you looked up at Matt when he was sampling your kraut. You looked up at him with such a look of love and adoration, it melted my heart. You two really are such a loving couple. It is so obvious and quite a wonder to behold. May the Lord continue to bless y'all. Thanks for sharing with us glimpses of your remarkable life in Appalachia.
Aww-thank you! I took a shine to him the first time I ever laid eyes on him-now over 30 years ago 😀
I noticed that to 🥰
I'm pretty sure I could fall asleep listening to the natural country sounds at the beginning and ending of this video. The rest of it was the usual great information and entertainment that always pleases me. Love your family Tipper....every one of them.
What a joy to listen to that , you really have such a soothing way of speaking and those visuals made me long to be there and after a hike enjoy that tasty looking cooking . Beam me up Scotty !
Watching you snap green beans took me back to when I was a kid, my granny Haley would send me out to the garden and pick a bucket full then she would wash them off and start snapping them (I can still smell them fresh beans)and as she did she would tell me stories about when she was a little girl. I could sit and listen to her stories all day.
I love ground cherries. How could anybody not like them?
I love the song the girls played right passed the Halfway mark. Great waltz. Of course, the scenery is always beautiful. 🙏🏼😂❣️♥️❣️🙏🏼
A mighty relaxing video, for sure. Went to the grocery store today and was feelin' mighty down in the dumps about how much the food prices have risen'. This video helps to soothe my soul.
Glad you enjoyed the video 😀
@Mild Bill well you'll be glad to hear Ron desantis has opened a port with worker's to unload all the tanker ship's pelosi's San Diego district has refused to unload
Oh how I love you allowing us to be a part the family. I love the night sounds, I close my eyes and listen to the running water and smell the mountains. Wow...thank you so much!
Soothing is the right word. These nice people are the people I would like to be around every day. I'm a city person caught up in the big race but love this family and there way of life.
Wahoo my favorite family is here!
😀 Thank you!!
Delightful, relaxing, yummy, peaceful and so enjoyable a video. Thank you for sharing with us Tipper. God bless you and the family.
Glad you enjoyed it 😀
WoW! I can almost taste it. Cabbage, water, salt, and time to capture the fermentation process for our taste buds. I love it!
😀 It is so good 😀
Good people living a good life and passing it on to the next generation.
Well done.
So much reminds me of my youth with crickets and frogs singing in the night with an occasional whippoorwill or loon calling out. It's so beautiful and calming. Happy Birthday to the girls for sure , and best to you all.
You guys should do a video with on creek sounds and video. Those videos do REALLY WELL on TH-cam. They usually run 8 - 10 hours. To do that you need to "loop it". Play the same video over and over. People love it. Thunderstorms and heavy rain popular as well.
I've been thinking about that but didn't know if it was a loop or a special long frame camera 😀 Thank you for enlightening me.
I agree with all of the comments. I love you & your family. The woods & the creek warm my heart. I've been in those hills & I can almost smell them. So fresh & rich & the sound. I love every single one of your videos dear lady. 🙏🦋❤️ Dolls Eye & Hearts a Busting & all the colored leaves. Heaven on earth. 🍁🍁🍁🌲🌲🌲🦋🦋
I enjoy it so much when you identify trees and plants that grow near your home. You've taught me some that I didn't know. I enjoyed watching you braid Corie's hair Tipper. I saw some other comments here of others who were reminded of their Moms doing their hair. My Mom used to tightly pin curl my hair every night because my hair is straight as a poker and she was always trying to give me curls like the other girls in my class. Never worked, the curls might stay for a couple hours then gradually my hair just went back to it's poker straight state. I thought you all sounded great at the music festival. Happy belated birthday Cori and Katie! 🎂🎁🎈
What a beautiful collage of sights and sounds. It was lovely, thank you.
Very interesting video covering many interesting things unique to Appalachia. I always love pickling ears of corn in a big crock. I was afraid it was becoming a dying art, but thanks to you for keeping all this going.
Love these videos. You had me at the sounds of darkness, almost tasting the kraut myself from old memories, being in the woods, the flowers, the good foods and sharing it with parent(s), great music, Matt and his trusty sharp knives, memories of braiding my daughter's hair, too, etc. and ending with the lovely night sights and sounds! Probably will have to force myself to watch one more time another day! Thank you, Pressley's.
Glad you enjoyed it 😀
Love seeing you at Black mountain !!
Happy birthday girls❣️
The trees are so beautiful here where I am this year ( Blue Ridge) and this video captures nature in southern Appalachia so well- ain’t it awesome?? Thanks for showing us your world 🍁💕
That was precious! I thought it was so sweet you and Matt enjoying the kraut together in the kitchen ❤
I enjoy your vlogs so much. The images you captured are so beautiful. You and the girls playing together what a treat. I learn so much from you Tipper. Thank you and don't stop !
Thank you for sharing a little bit of your life with us and letting us to get to know y’all. I feel like we’re friends with you, Tipper. I’m proud to be a subscriber. Thank you for letting us see the heaven on earth you live in! I pray one day I will have the blessed opportunity to meet y’all soon!
Thank you Robert 😀
Tipper: Silver Queen is my favorite corn grown here in Connecticut, however, it is only grown here (in CT) in an area near the Massachusetts border around a town called Suffield. It makes me happy to know you all like it in Appalachia too.
Your girls and my daughter are the same age! Mine turned 25 at the end of September. Happy birthday to your girls!
That's neat! Happy Birthday to your daughter too 😀
Tipper,
Your videos make me homesick for my mom and dad and my grandma who lived with us. Even though I am still here in this house they have all gone on to be with our LORD AND SAVIOR. There was always a little of something you showed here today going on around here then. Not so much now since I don't eat veggies 🤤 I do love your blog thanks for sharing a glimpse of your life with us.
Debbie
Thank you Debbie! I'm glad we remind you of good times and loved ones 😀
My dad was dutch and he couldn't stand sauerkraut from the store here - - - he said they fermented it with butter milk where he grew up, I make it with lots of heads of green cabbage and one purple cabbage so it turns out pink, I put green peppers, fennel, and fresh dill then add Kiefer that I make from my goats milk to ferment it -it takes 3 to 5 days, my favorite,. Your food looks really yummy and pretty to boot/I learn stuff watching you in your garden, I love it that you grow sugar baby melons, when I was a teen I grew all the Mellons for my family and sugar babies where my favorite, that dolls eye grows here but some times its a pretty pink color!
Love watching the way y'all live!!! My momma in law made her kraut in a stone crock and she would put a rock on top of a piece of wood over the the top of the crock and when the rock rolled off the Kraut was made. And it would be sour enough to make a pig pucker. Keep them videos coming they're my escape the world.
Glad you enjoyed this one 😀
Warm, beautiful, and informative - as always! I hope you’ll show us your lovely, timbered haven when the leaves really start turning! 😊🍁🍂
So comforting the sound in the darkness....
I love your videos Tipper. I’m a city girl but feel like I’ve lived that life before. My mom used to can and we spent many years gardening when I was young. The salad you made with your garden ingredients looked delish.
Miss Tipper I have never made kraut but I am tempted to try. I am learning so much watching your videos. Please keep them. You and your family lift my spirits.
“And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;” Isaiah 32:18
A great look into your wonderful life. It brings a smile to my face. Thank you.
So glad you enjoyed it Jackie 😀
Always a delight to see your videos.Just love the realness and great homey ways.reminds me so much of a life well lived.♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏
Thanks so much Selena 😀
This is an amazing video....makes me long to live there.. so talented also the way you filmed it.... thank you giving me a peaceful time
Good stuff. We do ours the same way. It’s funny you mention taking some to Granny to try. We have always done the same type of stuff. You are proud when you have things turn out and love to share. It’s pleasing to have other say it’s good. Terrific video and thank you for sharing. Stay well and blessings to you all! 🙂
😀 Thank you!
makes me want to visit Appalachia, ty for sharing :)
I have been wanting to learn exactly this!!!❤❤❤❤ thankyou!
I can tell it’s good, because you were shaking your hand while chewing it. I do the same way.
😀
Well that was random stuff but all very interesting. I like it. Thanks Tipper.
Enjoyed seeing all of the good homegrown and homemade food featured in this video, Tipper, except for the okra and ground cherries. I've tried both and do not care for them at all. As sweet as your Sugar Baby watermelons are, they'd have to go some to be as sweet as the music that Katie and Corie make together with their fiddle and guitar.
Love your videos. Small tidbits of this and that ... The melon on the counter, the ground cherries hiding on the garden floor, deer meat being sliced for supper. Thank you Tipper, Matt, girls. Yall are the best. Ill take my cue from that moon. Yall sleep tight now and sweet dreams. 🌹
Thank you Debbie! Hope you have a great week 😀
All that green! Envy isn’t good but hot diggity! Lovely music ladies! Great video! I haven’t heard anyone but my family call cicadas katydids but that’s what we called them.
😀 Glad you enjoyed it 😀
How peaceful. I love making at home the simple things we love to eat, but it’s wonderful to be able to have a garden and be surrounded by nature as you are. Thank you for sharing.
Tipper, I love that you used "wanginess" I've tried to tell lowlanders for years. They say "tanginess?", I'll say no tanginess and wanginess are different... I love my kraut crunchy and yours looks like it would eat right.
Your kraut looks so good! My mama fermented hers with corn and she put a slice of jalapeno pepper in the top of every jar and it was so good! Thanks for sharing and allowing us to "follow" you around today. And of course, you, Corie, and Katie sounded sweet as ever!
😀 Thank you Scott!
Wonderful video….peaceful and relaxing and beautiful 🤗🤗
Brenda
Such peace. I feel so relaxed after watching your video. Thank you Tipper.
My mom used to have that same Wesson measuring cup. She used it so much most of the measurements were worn away, but she knew the measurements so well it didn't bother her. What a blast from the past. Great video!
Charming video. As I was watching, I remembered that there were 3 ears of corns aging in my veggie bin. So I spent lunch hour making 2 jars of pickled corn. Added a red serrano pepper to each jar to spice things up (and use my deck bounty!).
My life in Appalachia is my favorite series seen them all several times, Matt is lightening up I thought I saw him almost smile. 😊
😀
A little of this and a little of that made a wanderful visit !!! THank you. God Bless. Jean
It is so relaxing to watch your videos. Thank you!
Making my mouth water watching you two eat that kraut. YUM YUM.
Chocolate Gravy!! I haven't made this in years. Time to make it again!! Thanks Tipper. Brightest blessings!
😀 I just love it!
My Mouth was actually Watering watching Matt eat the Kraute. It looks so good. I would love to have some for my Thanksgiving Dinner.
Another great video Ms. Tipper! Love the crickets to start and end the video.
Good stuff we have those Sweetgum tree's here in Ga you cut one down five grow back they are hard to split without a log splitter. Happy Birthday homemade cakes are the best. God Bless.
The sprouts are aggravating for sure!
That was the sweetest video. Little clips of everything. I really love to hear Katie play the violin. Thank you. 🙂
I just had the last of our Gum trees cut down. Gum and Pines can be removed without the town of Mt Pleasant (SC) getting steamed. I was just tired of cleaning up after them.
Love the crickets an night sky. Listen to the trees talking. I’ll have to see if I can find ground cherries.😃
When you find them... plant them.
@@randalllaue4042 never seen them up here
Beautiful!
Mm. Mm. Mmm!
Putting up garden veg now and going to pickle some, thanks to this video. Thank you!
The algorithm brought me here and the content and memories it invoked kept me watching. Both sides of my family are from Appalachia. One side from the mountains of southwestern Virginia and the other form the hills of upper east Tennessee. Plenty of coal miners, moonshiners, and good cooks on both sides. Hard working, honest, and God fearing salt of the earth folks. I have so many memories from my childhood of going to visit folks up in the "hollers". Good food, good conversation, hunting, fishing, foraging, farming, etc etc. I could tell stories for days about their struggles and experiences.
Thank you for watching! I hope you drop back by often!
The sounds of that creek and a sizzling cast iron pan are music to this old Hillbilly's ears.
So peaceful
I love your ( My life in Appalachia ) videos 💗😊
😀 I'm glad!
The hearts-a-busting Katie is showing is what we used to call iron wood. The stem is very hard to cut and almost impossible to break. Try it!
My vacuum bag kraut turned out fine. It is milder in flavor but a little too salty for me so I rinse it in a sieve. Last night I fried up some Polish sausage and then added some of the kraut and let it stream for a few minutes. Man, that is some good eating! The only thing missing was cornbread. I have some I had made several days ago that I thought would be good but It has started growing mold. You can't win 'em all!
The quiet night sounds, free from civilization's noise, are your most valuable asset. The sounds of waters tumbling over moss carpeted rocks are worth more than all the gold in the world and God gave them to us for free.
Thank you Papaw-I'll check out the stem next time 😀 Your meal sounds yummy!
Love the videos that first Berry the strawberry thing don't think I ever saw that before but the other ones I have I don't think we have any right around our house but where I grew up I think we did Grandma was the Grand Cherry Queen I think she and I were the only ones that like them she used to make at least a grand cherry pie every year and I think she made jelly or jam. Couldn't figure out what you were making right at the beginning and then when you added to Cocoa why new right away. Sweet gum balls are said to be in a viral I've been trying to look around here for some haven't been able to find them oh I wish you could send me one of them saplings. Thought there used to be one in the neighborhood but sure can't find it now. Love the instructions on the fermenting especially the corn never did or really heard of that before may have to try that next year. Wonderful relaxing video love and God bless take care
Enjoyable as always. Thanks Tipper.
I loved everything about this, so informative and homey! ❤️
My ancestors immigrated to Western NC on the great wagon road from Virginia, Delaware, and points north. Like so many other Scots-Irish coming to the new world searching for land and freedom. I know the area of Rabun county Ga. and points north of Clayton Ga. too. Your area is so familiar. Lush and green! Ancestry is fascinating to me. Culture, Customs and Traditions are so important so thanks for keeping Appalachia’s alive! Hey from Atlanta
I just love videos like this one...they really tell who you folks are and you are all so genuine and a pleasure to watch!..Thank you for sharing yourselves.
It is also known as strawberry bush and my people the Cherokee called it Wahoo. It is a very good medicinal plant as well. Love to make sauerkraut and I agree with your husband and you can never have too many jars of it put away. Another great video thank you so much for taking the time to make them you are loved and very appreciated. Take care and have a blessed day. ❤️🍀
Sweet gum trees are my favorite in the fall because of their colors!! Beautiful!!
I miss those days gone by we would go into the woods to play and we would get pine cones and stuff to help start grandmother fire with in the stove and heater. And we loved to feed the chickens and go find the nest to get some eggs 🥚 grandmother saying always leave one in the nest.
I’ve just found your channel today, and I love your videos! They remind me of when I was a little girl living in West Texas. Makes me miss shelling peas, making pies, or canning veggies with my Mimi. She’s still with us. I’ve just moved away and now only get to do things like this when I go home for the holidays.
Thank you for making this channel. It brings back peaceful memories from childhood 🥰
Thank you! So glad I bring good memories to mind for you 😀
What a lovely video! Thank you!
Chocolate gravy! I've heard of it but have never had it or seen it made! Looks delicious!❤️
I am finally going to send this. I hope! Tipper, I am an old man now 76 yrs . I hope I do not say anything out of the way. You remind me of my mother when I was a young boy. She was Irish. Murphy was the blood line. She was born and raised in Vaucluse, South Carolina. Every thing you do and say including the accent, is really a reminder or her. I love your family. You do a great thing on here with your cooking and everything about family. Hell, I know you wont like that, I never knew what good cornbread was till I saw you make it. THANK YOU. T Corie n Katie Tom Hutto said hey!
Tom-I'm glad I remind you of your mother and good memories!! Corie and Katie say hello 😀 So glad you enjoy what we do!
Dusty was in your area today but he's back home now. He brought back a souvenir. A speeding ticket! 75 in a 60 between Marble and Andrews.
Oh no! Poor Dusty. That is never a fun thing to get 😀
I love hearing the crickets chirping
Enjoyed this one Ms. Tipper! Love the variety you shared in this one from start to finish, especially THE CREEK as always, THE MUSIC and THE SOUNDS OF THE NIGHT AT THE END it was all great! Celebrating Appalachia is one of my favorite channels on TH-cam hands down!! GOD BLESS YALL. 👍🏻😇🙏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻😇👍🏻☀️☀️
So glad you enjoyed it 😀
Watching your video just now was the most relaxation Ive had all week. Keep up the great work.
Wow-thank you Michael. Hope this week is better for you 😀
Oh my gosh. I never thought to take and put a bag of water on my stuff to keep it under.
Your ground cherries look like what we call Cape Gooseberries. They look and sound the same. Love eating them straight from the garden. I remember as a child sneaking over to a neighbours and gorging myself on them . yes. Once you plant you will always have them.
Beautiful video! I think whenever I recommend this channel to people, I will suggest starting with this video as a sampler. Loved it!!!
😀 Thank you!!
Tipper it is a little after 3:35 a.m. Monday and I just have to say how very much I enjoy every second of your life which you choose to share! I feel like ive been here all of my life and in some ways i have.
God bless each of you! From your friend
Buz-thank you so much. I hope you have a really good week 😀
Wish I started out there. There is a peace and a feeling of continuance.🌺♥️🌸🌺♥️
I remember picking peas with my Mom. So many heartfelt memories! Thank you for helping me remember those good times with my Mom? I wish we could create cabbage slaw like you just dd! Mine never turns out! I love your recipes!
All of the things you've shown us that I absolutely love! Hearts-a-bustin'... keep on! 🍀
Watched this right after the two year old accidentally knocked over and smashed three jars of jam all over the kitchen floor...your life is so soothing compared to mine, LOL! ;)
😀 Hey I've been there before-glad the video helped. Hope you have a good week!!
Wow Tipper! What can I say. Such a wonderful video. Very peaceful. It would be nice if everyone of us can slow down and see the beauty of this wonderful place we live in. ❤
I just absolutely love this Tipper! You are so fortunate to have the family life you do. God Bless ♥️🙏🏼♥️
Thank you Kat 😀
Fermenting is just so easy! Water, plain salt, a clean jar or crock and a couple weeks time! It is great for the health, making vitamins, etc. great for the guts and immune system. We keep ours in the fridge, kraut, dill pickles, fermented veg like squash, peppers, onions, carrots all great tasting like home made pickles! I have large pickle jars (3 qt) saved from store bought pickles years ago. They fit great in the fridge without taking a huge amount of room. When I begin to get them empty, I transfer to quart jars and start out next batch fermenting so I never run out.
OK, now I am relaxed enough to get some sleep. Needed that for my little bout of insomnia.
