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.

Beautiful land. Just gorgeous. Workin hard and livin comfortable. As intended. Amen. I like that you would show a simple cheeseburger and taters with I assume keefer water and your peck of pressley pickled peppers. Simple….no frills…that bun looked tasty. I mean…. that and a fire and some ol timey gospel on very nice guitars. Seems to me one could get used to such opulence. Stay warm gang.
So beautiful. How far is the creek from your home?
Clap clap clap
You and Matt are a lovely couple🌻
Y'all had me feeling like company watching this video. Thanks for providing me with a nice start to the day. Blessings to y'all.
This is my favorite one so far….love the sound of the water, the falling leaves but most of all the music….just beautiful.
That first hard frost is invigorating and sad at the same time. Falling leaves are magical.
Please make a video w Kushaw soup and other recipes!
It was my first year growing nasturtium this year. I tried a recipe for pickling the seeds with part of my seeds and seed saved the rest. I dehydrated some of the flowers and leaves too for tea concoctions. It was a beautiful plant.
I love Nasturtiums , not just looking at them.. I love eating them in salads or like you ..I go through the garden Rip a leaf and eat it. Love them . Mine has never looked like yours,.. yours is beautiful..
We call our cast iron frying pan a spider that fat lighter works good to start a fire I like to smell the turpentine
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.
Isn't it bliss to piddle in silence!!
are those baked potatoes at 28:08 and what temp and time did you bake them
Hi family … don't get insulted but if you have YouTube on your telly please please tune into "TUBERS WILL BE LARGE AND ABUNDANT" … If you grow sweet potatoes in a … E-Y Gardening
Just trying to help.
Be blessed … Maria
Really enjoy the videos of your family, your place in the mountains, and the music.
👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌
I was wondering if green peppers/squash would keep for more than a week…Now I know what to do…Thank you💕…also love the calming sounds of water/leaves..fall!👍
This made my heart so happy! I could feel the cold frost, smell the leaves in the forest, and the chimney smoke. Loved the singing.
I’m desperately looking for a black walnut sorghum candy recipe that my grandmother used to make. Do you have any recipes for this? Thanks so much.
Percolated coffee! 😊 All the food looks tasty! 😋 You're having a gorgeous fall, great photography of it. Thanks for the beautiful full version of that song y'all wonderfully did. 🌼
I'm down here in Blue Ridge, Ga. Just stumbled across your video. The whole video was great, but I sure enjoyed that song, singing and picking. Talented family .. the old dove sounded awesome!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this video from beginning to end. This is my favorite time of year. The food looked wonderful. I bet Nasturtium leaves would be good on a roast beef sandwich like lettuce, with tomatoes and Mayo. I want to get one of the wood splitters you and Matt showed us. How handy! And, last but not least, the song at the end touched my heart and made my toe tap. Thank you so much. ❤️
I love seeing your videos.l watch everyone..love your family..
Our trees are almost completely nekked. One day glorious colours, next day none. Our temperatures have been in the 70s. the last couple of days. Warm for our part of the world. Eastern Ontario, Seaway Valley.
I love that in your videos you show how, in these beautiful mountains that we are fortunate to live in, that each season has its own sound. When we step outside, it even has its own feel. It’s something that we can experience each day. ❤️
Beautiful ❤️
Here I was thinking you and Matt would have this video all to yourselves, then Paul and Corie show up at the end for a musical finale to the festivities! Have you been eating a lot of the cushaw the last few days?
Very enjoyable video.
great video! Love the music at the end!
Yf
Thank you Tipper! Enjoyed seeing the leaves fall and the sound of the creek! Matt knows how to build a fire! I've lived in a city a good portion of my life only lately have had to build a fire when we had snow and rolling power blackouts here in central Texas
It’s simply beautiful where you live. And all you meals you prepare for Matt, even a sandwich, are made with love.
That asia persimmon is how you got your japanese bugs.
Thanks for the shots of the mountain scenery. When you walk outside and there are no trees hiding you neighbors houses, it is like you are standing in public naked; no privacy.
A beautiful video!!
Mr. Needs a small tractor with a box blade. To fix that drive way. Plus he can use that for a lot more
How beautiful that frost was!
Love the music thank you.
I wasn’t raised in the country but have lived in the country a lot of my adult life. Your videos make me think of how I was raised. And triggers memories of things long forgotten. Thank you for the memories that I didn’t have for years. Enjoy Granny while she’s here with you.
Very nice fall video to enjoy. When you freeze the cubed squash for your soup, does it all freeze into one clump or stay in the chunks? The first fire is so good, even if it is not that cold.
We had our first fire today too.
Loved the colors, Loved the music!
You have a percolator? I haven't seen one of those in years. Thumbs Up!
Would you please share your recipe for the Cushaw soup? Please and thank you !
My Dad taught me how to "lay up a fire". It was nice to see again.
Whaaaaaat ya don't use Duke's?
🙄🤔
I know the seasons ripe for a surplus of Turkey parts…
Just to be clear…nobody is making a mess mixin' stuff into my comment re: Turkey balls…
as some viewers might have a hen house or two out younder
Turkey Balls—are Meat Balls,
but they are made with a big chub of lean ground turkey.
I mix in fixins…
a big handful of flour
a smaller handfull of cut oats (half cooked)
about a spoon of sesame oil with three times the olive
two broke eggs (shells optional)
a reasonable ammount of salt and white pepper
dust of I-tialian seasoning
an unreasonalbe ammount of chili pepper and paprika
a clove of chopped fresh garlic
a whole finger of fresh tumeric (you decide which finger)
ginger was gone but I like lots of that company
Then…
as you like: worchester, soy, umammi,
( if you dare a small amount of fish sauce)
Mix till it looks like something you't rather not eat.
If you'r faith is stronger than your stomach.
chill a bit to firm up the slurry
dollops plopped on pan clean pan
baked until shy of dry
Vesritility…
eat'em like biscuits,
mixed with eggs
torn up in vege soups,
easy peasy,
won't make ya queasy
There isn't much I can say about how much I appreciate being able to spend time with you and your beautiful surroundings. Thank you for sharing
