some garden seeds were mislabeled from the seed company I read. Perhaps your mistakes weren't your mistakes.
I lost my dad the 24th. Your journey was timed very much like mine. The hospice came for us at the same time as Miss Cindy's hospice. Matt I'm so sorry for your loss. It sounds like Miss Cindy was a wonderful lady.
It’s funny that you mentioned about a snow. I was just thinking yesterday that it’s been so cool up to now and that we’re almost in July, that I wondered if we’ll be due for some much colder weather this coming up winter. We haven’t been too cold for the last couple of years over here across the TN/NC border (Maryville).
Sending love and prayers to all of you i will have you in my thoughts i know the grief of losing a momma. its a grief like know other losing a parent or child i lost my momma in 1998 after a long illness of COPD plus strokes and dementia and then in 1999 lost my father-in-law to brain cancer he was diagnosed in may had surgery never recovered completely went through horrible radiation to the head . The only ones he would let help him about the rest room and baths was his 5 sons and his beloved wife of 47 yrs that was a horrible thing to see the way it took him down so quickly but he passed with the whole family around his bedside singing hymns. the last few days was really rough on him and of course us but at the end he died with a little grin on his lips he saw his angel come for him he hadnt spoke all day till that moment he said she was beautiful and glowing and was taking him home. It was something to witness for all of us.
Changing the topic to something lighter no disrespect at all towards your loss. Tipper I'm with you i want a lot of big snow this winter maybe we will get it because of the el-nino setting up early they are saying it will help us get some fingers crossed. Your all's garden is beautiful getting back in the swing of working the garden then canning and freezing your bounty will help you pass your time and start to get back to some kind of normal. Even doing the videos and blog will help and the wonderful cooking. Time is passing quickly.
Hope You All Have A Blessed Week 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💙☃️❄️
Your family is a blessing. May God comfort all of your family through this. God bless you and good gardening.
Your garden is beautiful! So lush and green! Matt and Tipper, I’m very sorry for your loss of Mrs Cindy. I remember losing my Mom and my Dad, my sister and my husband. My mom passed in 1998, my sister 15 years and my husband and Dad within four years. We were married 39 years and his memory lives on in the lives of our three sons. I have the peace of knowing I’ll see them again. I know your pain bc I’ve lived it myself. I’m sure working in the garden helps keep your minds busy. Prayers and hugs
I'm so sorry for your loss. God's peace be with you.
Hugs to y'all! I'm new to your channel and I love watching you. May God bless your family and give you peace.
You know how when you yawn it makes someone else yawn. Well, this videos "eating popicles part" had that effect on me just now. I went and got one. My husband saw what I got and so he went and got one. This brand really should sponsor your channel. Lol. And the grape is so good. So is the watermelon..
You’re getting all our rain! We’re having severe drought in central Missouri. It’s so frustrating! Every week, they have chances of rain in the forecast, but the closer it gets, it just evaporates. 😖 The grass is all dead, farmers are hauling in hay for cows..
So sorry about Miss Cindy's passing & ur dear friend also.
Matt, Tipper, Katie and Corie I am so very sorry to hear about Ms Cindy. Happy for her though. She's walking on streets of gold with Jesus now. I have been praying for her every day and I will pray for God's comfort on y'all.
Well the Northern Parula is checking in on y'alls popsicle eating. Never see him, but I hear him just fine 🙂
When you mentioned squirrels digging things, one year a squirrel planted a Gladiola in our yard. Real pretty. We felt sorry for whoever the rightful owners were.
(Edit: Parulas where I live nest in Spanish moss. I don't know what they use for nesting in the mountains, but I'm sure they love being near your creek)
Ms. Tipper, I appreciate you and Matt more than you know. I'll certainly stick around a lot longer than that little Parula Warbler, he'll need to fly south about 3 or 4 months from now.
I do have probably an embarrassing large Playlist of any of your videos I didn't have the time to watch when I got the notification. So I'll probably dive into that this coming week. Especially if I'm depressed for any reason, you all are great at uplifting others.
Wish i was more like that…God bless every single one of you!
I can feel your joy and happiness of the garden, being a gardener myself. I can also feel your pain through your stories about Miss Cindy. We're praying for healing hearts…Psalm 34:18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
The memorial service sounds meaningful and Miss Cindy sounded content with that. No doubt it brought peace to her mind and a calmness to her heart. Much love to you all. ❤❤❤
“And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also he says: “Write, for these words are faithful and true.”
~Revelation 21:3-4
❤❤❤❤❤ -much love ~Mary & fam in NJ
Showing that red dirt reminds me of my late brother's garden it was red dirt but he could grow the best garden of anybody around from watermelons, cantaloupe, corn, beans, pepper,tomatoes anything he wanted to I don't know how enjoy the video
I lost my parents many years ago. My mom's been gone for almost 15 years now and my dad has been gone for 10 years. There are many times that I think of my parents and miss them. You are right, Tipper, grieving is forever, but we have the memories forever.
Another hard loss for us was when my nephew died in a car crash a couple of years ago at the age of 25 – my sister's only child.
I'm praying for God's comfort for all of you.
I didn't know how much I really needed to hear someone talk about the experience of watching a loved one die. I lost my sister 2 years ago. I went home to help out my mom who was her caregiver and she quickly declined while I was there. I was able to show her how much I loved her. I fed her her last meal. It felt strange because she was my big sister, but I just wanted her to feel how much I loved her. We couldn't have a funeral or memorial because it was during the pandemic. I don't talk about my grief because I think it can't compare to my parents' grief. Listening to you really helped. I cried a bit and it was a relief. Sending your family love and light.
Everything is looking great corie you guys are really doing great at the gardening have a great weekend .tell you dad I m praying for him ..
I'm sorry to hear you have a loss. I love to hear how things are going over there on that continent. Thank you!
Well…
This is a fine cover photo of you two.
😊😊
I’m so very sorry for your loss..your family is so very precious..we could all learn a whole lot from y’all😌
❤
I just watched Pap and Paul sing. What a Blessing that you came from such an awesome family. You your husband, your girls and Granny are such a joy to watch. My Dad passed at age 42, I was 20. I always wonder how great it would have been for my daughter and grand kids to have known him. As a believer, I know he, my Mom, my Brother, and Grandma are resting in Peace, with no sadness, no pain, no hunger and no thirst. At leat thats what I pray for in my daiky prayers. I also ask our Lord and Savior and Almighty God to Grant them Memory Eternal and for forgiveness of sins. We are Russian Orthodox and all of ou famiky have been brought up in the Orthdox Church, since my GG and Papa came from Russia in 1913. I feel very Blessed to have worshipped with so many elderly people, it really humbles you. Prayers for you, your husband, the girls and your family. May God Grant Miss Cindy Eternal Memory and forgive her sins. Rest in peace Miss Cindy. fyi I am born and raised in Michigan. 🙏💜🙏
Somehow i lost my subscription to your channel. I am so sorry for your loss. The cycle of life is sure difficult at times.
So happy to see your posts once again.
God bless all here.
I'm glad she had you guys! I worked in a nursing home private duty n saw many people with no one n some of the aides would sit n hold their hands as they passed.
Feverfew needs it's own bed. Mine has taken over I find it everywhere. The leaves are wonderful for migraines
I saw the video of you didn’t cook green tomatoes. I cube my green tomatoes, yellow squash, okra, etc. and deep fry. I only use the other veggies if I only have a few. They don’t hold the grease. Matt could deep fry him green tomatoes all summer. Just know I am praying. I run your YouTube videos all day. ❤❤
I have been in Northern Europe for weeks without streaming access. Tonight is the first opportunity I have had to catch up with you. Daily I have been praying for you. I am so sorry for your loss. May our good God continue to comfort you! Praise God that we have an eternal hope through the saving blood of Jesus! ❤️
The garden is SO beautiful!
