I loved the story of Doris Jean taking care of Granny. It occurred to me when Matt asked you if she was still alive and you said that she had been dead for years, that Doris Jean is still very much alive in the memories of those who knew her. Your telling the story to us will keep her alive now in our memories, and her goodness will live on. That’s why sharing the stories of our lives is so precious.

Thank you Tipper for the inspiration! I’ve cooked a peach cobbler and cornbread several times lately and I’m planting a garden for the first time in years all because I’m inspired by you. I can’t wait for your cookbook to come out. Thank you for the wholesome entertainment (that’s so rare now a days). I’ve really enjoyed listening to you read two books so far. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family. Most of all I want to thank you for renewing my faith in humanity and for you leading by example to be a good God fearing person living a simple but extremely meaningful life!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

You are so kind-thank you!

[@bylindalawrence5943]

Matt you have my sympathy when it comes to the bees. My poor husband could be the only person within 100 miles and if there was only 1 bee it would track him down.

[@rosaleacorle2854]

You and Matt are a cool fun couple. Bless you Both.

[@patmoritz5213]

Enjoyed this mornings KZbin visit. ❤

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

So glad!

[@sshaw4429]

My daddy and momma talked like this…..worked crossword puzzle, ate ice cream. My husband never speaks.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

I'm sorry. Thank you for visiting with us 😀

[@Karen-bt6lh]

I like the sound of the wind and the leaves rustling. You and Matt I mean Spud make a great team together. A loving, working, cutting up and blessed relationship. A joy to watch.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you 😀

[@debbiecryan4882]

We call our chickens the "Little Raptors" because they're so much like what we think a little dinosaur would be like. Love watching y'all. Matt is a hoot! And when you laugh with him it's so endearing.

[@susansterchi4269]

I love the sound of the wind through the leaves. Beautiful!

[@robinsnell7249]

No more K-Marts. I really miss them too. Loved hearing the wind and your wind chimes.

[@iviefryar694]

Tipper, Matt's a hoot! My husband said, "I like him, he's a real person." I'm glad ya'll are having fun!😀

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

So glad yall enjoyed this one 😀

[@dennissmallwood9082]

Coconut plank my daddy loved them.

[@sherylpruitt9785]

We miss the good ole days, too! 😢 But still, a lot of good people here & there. Lol

[@thomasmccardle725]

Tipper your glass isn’t half full, your cup runneth over 😂❤😂❤😂❤😂

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

😀 It sure does! Thank you Thomas 😀

[@vernareed2692]

Funny 😆-Matt just casually, straight face, out of the blue,"then it'll be 197degrees for four months!" Also Matt's story about his family planting on the wrong sign of the moon!! There used to be a Belks in Siloam springs Arkansas my home.

[@randy3064]

I see that Mas doing all the work

[@nitashadow2860]

You both make me smile. Just love your channel ! you give so much inspiration .hi from lutz Florida USA

[@silviaac9289]

Always an awesome day watching you both daily, funny, lovely life❣️ Do not stop sharing😔🥺

[@rachelfrees1268]

Hi. Things are popping in the garden. I swear I saw double snowballs growing along the creek bank. Am I seeing things?😂 Lantana loves the heat. An author I want to share. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings and also Gene-Stratton Porter. Books I’ve loved from childhood. Marjorie wrote about what she called Florida Crackers. 😂 Love, love Matt sharing about not planting on the moon, but the earth. Scuppernong grapes grew wild in Virginia. They were tasty as were the Paw Paws along the river bank. We share such a rich history between us even though 40 years apart. I love you two and watching the love you have for each other, and this allows me to escape from the horror of what’s going on in our beloved country.❤

[@ixchelkali]

I appreciate that you have a formula closing for your videos, because it reminds me that I want to hit the "like" button. Otherwise, I get so caught up in the conversation, I might forget. But when I hear the words "celebrate Appalachia," that's my cue to hit 👍.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

I appreciate you liking them-that really helps 😀 Thank you for watching!!

[@EMBERS-BECAME-BRIGHT-JOY]

'K' mart, brings back memories.

[@EMBERS-BECAME-BRIGHT-JOY]

They had blue light specials.

[@bluebird218bn]

I think you’re right about the wind. I don’t remember having a windier spring.

[@flr6168]

Love your videos keep up the good work 👍

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you!!

[@benitastevens612]

Loved seeing this video again. Really enjoyed it .

[@justinehyre2975]

So enjoy your conversations!! I agree about the wind!! We moved to NC from WV three years ago and this is the windiest place I have ever been. My brother has lived here almost 40 years and even he says it is the windiest he has ever seen!! And my husband's favorite snack is sliced raw potato with salt. He will eat a whole potato at a time.

[@geeterthegiver]

Watching this latest one, and it occurred to me…you could call these segments “Popsicle Ponderings” ! Love y’all!

[@cosmiccreations888]

LOL You Two " Poppy Sickles are US " TY for another Great Video !!

[@sippingtea4743]

Love love you all!

[@rondahoward5341]

We had 2 days last week was in the upper 80s and beautiful here in VA. Now we’re back to 40s at night. We got some rain but not nearly what they forecasted. So dry and windy here we had fire warnings all week. Y’all’s garden is looking great! My family will not eat squash unless it’s fried in bacon grease with onions. Just the way my nanny cooked it. As much as he loves it, he can’t have too much because of blood pressure and cholesterol. I tell him he cheats enough all week long!!

[@jackiekitchennowordsneeded587]

Taters and ramps are the best! Love them!

[@carriehutton]

I love watching your little blooper parts at the ends of the most recent videos with you and Matt. It shows how much y'all still love each other and have fun being together. So nice to see ❤😊

[@timgriffith2094]

Take Matt to Dollar Tree for glasses, that’s where I get mine.

[@diannegrimes1471]

You guys are great. You all make me laugh 😂

[@gail2297]

Outshine should give y'all a commission😊 Those popsicles looked so delicious that I bought the grape and coconut. Grape is my favorite.

[@kimcool6327]

Those grapes you like make a good jam/jelly spread.

[@robinhaupt9119]

Your flowers are so pretty Tipper! Thanks for sharing your popsicle chat Tipper and Matt.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Robin 😀

[@wandagordon6453]

Y’all are hilarious and I love these chats. I sat down with a cup of coffee and enjoyed it! So sweet of Katie to cook for y’all today. I’m sure it was delicious. Your flowers are looking beautiful. Take care and God bless y’all. 😀❤️

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you for visiting with us 😀

[@elainebuchka6533]

God Bless You on Your Book Signing Tipper!! Hope You & Matt & Katie Enjoyed Her Carrot Cake.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Elaine!!

[@linnieknight4595]

I just have to laugh at the high speed video. Oh! If only we could work that fast in real life, we'd get so much more done. Lol

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

😀

[@lissahenry6751]

Y’all crack me up!

[@MP-xf6gq]

I have to admit the sound of all this wind acted like white noise to me and really relaxed me. :-) Tell Matt we would love to meet him in person also at one of your meets and greets.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

😀 Glad you enjoyed it!

[@hopeyoung8662]

Hi Tipper I just got your cookbook gifted to me I just love it and your blog watch it every chance I get Bless you and your family 🎉

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Hope you enjoy it 😀 thank you!

[@normahenson7070]

My mother would not plant until the earth was warm ! She was a Henson cove native !

[@chadwalters8467]

congratulations on your cook book!

[@karriebelledesigns7196]

Oh, my gracious, I ran across your channel about 3 weeks ago, and have watched a couple videos each evening. You have an absolutely beautiful family, and your garden is a slice of heaven. Here in Colorado, we are not even close to planting time. They are calling for 6+ inches of snow later this week. I do have my seedlings started, but they never get anywhere close to the beautiful plants you all have. Thank you so much for posting these videos and showing us all about Appalachia and your traditions.

[@joyceedwards9652]

I wish I had taken pictures of my parents gardens!! They were amazing!! We have a freeze warning tonight in Mansfield

[@sandsquid1]

P. S. Tipper, That was the cutest smile you gave when y’all were holding up your popsicle sticks! And when Matt looks at the camera it’s like he’s looking right through me! 😅

[@garybrunet6346]

I enjoy these popsicle chats, so much. Casual conversation and simple things are all you need to lift your spirits! Thank you Tipper and Matt!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

So glad you enjoy them Gary!

[@shirleywoods7240]

I no longer like hot weather either here in Kentucky. This is our first year to use Grow bags. I enjoy watching y’all so much!

[@EMBERS-BECAME-BRIGHT-JOY]

🤣 'NO IT AIN'T NICE, I CANT SEE!!" 🤣 same here! I remember a coworker at the snack machine telling me exactly what Matt just said. I had agreed to the same thing, different eye doctors 😵‍💫😵

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

😀

[@StephenSmith-h6l]

That lantana is an invasive flower. So if you wanna fill in a good size space it will work.

[@tntreasurehunters6187]

What brand of popsicles do you eat? You should get a sponsorship for them. They always look so good. My husband and I found your channel and we love it. We have been binge watching. Another idea is to save your popsicle sticks to label your plants.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

So glad you enjoy our videos! Thank you for watching! The brand is Outshine 😀

[@maryjemisonMaryjay1936]

Matt is so Talkative 😂 Not True ❤❤I feel y’all are like Family ❤❤

[@KarenInTx]

Hmm..Katie is cooking. If you find Corie polishing jewelry in the basement you will know we are in the twilight zone lol. I had to buy us some outshine popsicles. So good. And yes Kmart sadly went the way of Montgomery Ward (Monkey Wards), Sears, and so many others. The day of online stores have taken over. The times they are achangin'. God bless yall. Have a great week!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Hope you have a good week too!!

[@lindamaraman-wm6ml]

I binge watch your KZbin channel and watching you eat popsicles played heck with my popsicle stash ‘cause when y’all ate a popsicle, so did I. 😂 I had to stop buying them when I finished a box in a couple of days. Coconut are my favorites, too!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

😀 Thank you Linda!

[@KayeTaylorE]

I saw something on Facebook about muscadines being ripe and I thought, not in early spring. Then I remembered it's almost September but watching your videos I was thinking it's early spring like in this video.

[@maryjemisonMaryjay1936]

Matt has a dry since of Humor 😂

[@cosmiccreations888]

Poppy Sickles Pow Wow's

[@cheryllamb8831]

All the pots outside the greenhouse look so pretty. You found some lovely flowers. The garden beds are looking great also. My peach tree survived & just the other day I noticed it has small peaches growing! Speaking of peach, my favorite outshine is the peach, it almost tastes like a real fresh one😊. Listening to the two of you bantering is like being w/family and I love the chuckle you invoke. Blessings 🕊

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Cheryl! Yay for little peaches 😀

[@carolynholloman6911]

Love watching You and Matt, good conversation and Matt's funny comments!! Watching your videos are so relaxing and enjoyable!! Thank You for sharing!!

[@lindaaddis417]

I love that coconut bar you talking about

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

😀 Pap loved it too

[@donnakirk7455]

Hilarious vid! Thanks!

[@kateburk2168]

Am happy to see all your flowers. Might not be able to eat most of them but they are food for the soul! On the third day of Creation, He separated the water and made land. Trees, grass and other plants... our original diet. He is such an artist! He made every possible color of flowers. Didn't need to. Can't eat color, but it brings joy to the heart. Same for sunsets and a multitude of other things. He is truly a God of Love!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Kate!! I love the beauty 😀

[@donnabresnahan1835]

I love when you break out the popsicles!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

😀 I'm so glad

[@lindahays8444]

Love sitting and listening to you and Matt. Ok the end hilarious. Y'all are to cute.

[@TheLisaGreenlee]

Looks like Matt ought to put a couple steps up that hill for y'all. You both caught some speed coming down that slope.🤣 Y'all are terrace farming like Columbians down in the Andes Mountains. I love your garden! And Matt is very funny and Tipper., your faces when Matt's being a wise-cracker...lots of laughs. Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah.....It's Katie!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Lisa 😀

[@TheLisaGreenlee]

@@CelebratingAppalachia I’ve been talking with my mom about what tomatoes we are going to plant. We are thinking about planting some mortgage lifters, beefsteak, and some Cherokee purple. My mom said there’s a small tomato that’s sweet like candy but she couldn’t remember the name. Do you have any ideas what that might be?

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

@@TheLisaGreenlee There's a tiny red one that's called Matt's Cherry it is super sweet and there are red sungolds that are small and sweet 😀 I'm sure there's others. Hopefully someone will chime in with more suggestions!

[@TheLisaGreenlee]

@@CelebratingAppalachia thanks so much! I can't wait for summer tomatoes. Nothing beats a tomato sandwich on white bread with salt, pepper & mayo! Y'all ever make tomato pudding? Here's my recipe. Warm Tomato Pudding 3 medium vine-ripe tomatoes A loaf of day-old bread, torn or cut into large cubes 1 1/2 cup tomato sauce 1 cup heavy cream 1 egg 1 teaspoon Worcestershire 1 teaspoon Tabasco (optional) 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon pepper 1 tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon ginger 1-2 tablespoons butter Carefully place the tomatoes in a pan of boiling water for 25-30 seconds. Remove and submerge them in a bowl of ice water, then peel off the skin and give the tomatoes a rough chop. In a large bowl, add the tomato sauce, heavy cream, egg, Worcestershire, Tabasco, lemon juice, salt, pepper, sugar, and ginger. Add the torn day-old bread followed by the chopped tomatoes. Mix well and transfer them into a buttered baking dish, then bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes until set and golden brown on top. It's delish! Sometimes I've added some shredded provolone cheese too.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

@@TheLisaGreenlee I've never made it-sounds wonderful! 😀 Did you share your scalloped oyster recipe with me?

[@peelmeone]

I gotta say that the best content is the small talk and banter you and Matt engage in after your official "sign-off".

[@cathylee6385]

I love your Oh - kree tshirt 😊

[@Needlewich]

Love, Love your and Matt’s popsicle time!!! I have to agree with Matt about hot weather… don’t like it!!! Much prefer cooler colder weather. Y’all are such good hard workers! Hope you get a good bounty from all your hard work!! God bless and love to all!! 💕🤗🙏🏻

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you so much 😀

I just wanted to let you know that as a new subscriber to your channel i have drawn immense pleasure listening to your stories and all the knowledge of Appalachia! I really enjoy you and your husbands stories and conversations after a hard day on the homestead! You both have raised two beautiful twin girls that are very smart and share their knowledge of Appalachia just like you and i subscribe to both of them. In closing i just wanted to say Congratulations on your new cookbook! I look forward to buying it! God Bless You And Your Family And Loved Ones!

It has been very windy out our way in NE Missouri. The fire risk is at high. I’m preparing my garden beds whenever I can get out there.

[@alex31p]

Every now and then on a cool damp spring evening I do put a fire in the parlor heater, and it is a wonderful treat.

Thank you Lori 😀

[@thomasmccardle725]

I love all y’all do, especially these pop cycle chats!

[@gracelandone]

I often listen to your Sunday chats while cooking or doing dishes. Sometimes without looking at the video. So enjoyable. It reminds me of visiting my Uncle Richard and Aunt Eula. She in her hairnet and housecoat, often with the smell of a venison roast being boiled to within an inch of its life (not the way to eat it, as you well know). They’ve been gone since the mid 70’s, but I still remember their ribbing each other, referring to past events and remembering those who had passed. I was always fascinated to hear them carry on, even as a young kid. Thanks for including us in the Pressley Popsicle hour. (If y’all had a son and my daughter married him her name would be Presley Pressley)

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

😀 Love those memories!

[@matthewmaclellan_]

You two are so funny, lots of laughs and smiling.

[@KyDove8]

Thanks for sharing your life. Good people have a similar life no matter what state we live in. We had a frost this early morning, Monday/24. And my 7 tomato plants are covered, a king sheet over my main flower/strawberry bed. They look good. 46 tonight. 😊❤
