It was pretty to hear her play that tune. I heard fiddle players play very similar tunes when I was in Ireland years ago. Something about that sound does stir something up in the heart and soul. I too teared up when hearing the music. It comes up from deep inside. This was in all ways, a beautiful video. How wonderful that you all get to call this special place your HOME. You are truly blessed. Those of us who live in surbubia have forgotten such a connection with creation.

Tipper, thanks for the video. If the whiners would take a close look at mountain streams they would realize that the streams change constantly. With the severe elevation drops in mountain country those little streams become raging torrents. The river that I grew up with in West Virginia looks entirely different after only 50 years. Nature changes its own environment. After the floods the fish, turtles, snakes, crawdads, salamanders, leeches, bugs and every other living creature is still there ! Continue to celebrate Appalachia. Thanx again.

My youngest grandchild comes from Colorado every summer and she and Nana work side by side in the kitchen and the yard and also enjoys antiquing and handcrafts.

Many people liked to sit and talk and enjoy each other's company. Some people were great storytellers. Me? I liked throwing horse shoes. When I was a kid, we played in the creek and built forts, caught lightening bugs, made bows and arrows and slingshots, made rope swings in the woods, or swung on grapevines. When we could get hold of some boards and nails (usually had to straighten out bent ones we would pick up from where someone had built something), there's no telling what we would build.... usually tree houses, that were usually more like tree platforms because we never could find much scrap wood. We always had some sort of bicycle to ride and, in the winter we rode our sleds when it snowed. Mostly, as kids, we just imagined and played whatever our imaginations led us to do.

We always called them water spiders but when I took an entomology class in college I learned that they were water striders. Nice video. My kids love to go to "grandmama's spring" as they call it. Love it!

One day your channel popped up in my feed and I feel so blessed it did. I really enjoy your channel. I myself live in a suburban city in Maryland, but would love to visit Appalachia. I might be a little scared hanging out in the woods and I’m sure you would hear me scream once in a while. ❤️🤗

Oh and, my 5th grade "boyfriend" Martin Thorne gave me a "box" turtle just like that for my 11th birthday. It was the best birthday ever. I kept him for about a week then set him free. Great memory.

I enjoyed watching you, Tipper, play in the creek with the rocks. The rocks are gorgeous. I love rocks, so can understand Katie’s passion for them. I also enjoyed listening to her play her fiddle. For entertainment, myself, I enjoy reading, drawing, listening to music, watching KZitem.

Yes, I love the water, it's magical! I used to look for clay veines in the creek, I'd dig the clay out, find a flat rock and make some kind of sculpture out of it. Very often I'd make a clown face and leave it to dry in the sun.

I loved going camping with my papa. We would set up 5 or 6 bamboo fishing poles with bait, then go elsewhere and swim. We jumped off rocks into the water. We would cook taters and onions in a cast iron over the fire. Papa would wake us up by firing a 12 gauge in the air and then laugh his butt off. Then we would check the fishing spot, collect our fish clean em and go make lunch. It was so incredible, I loved it.

I would LOVE for you to do a video or series of videos on going out in the woods or around your yard searching for wild grown plants and mushrooms you can eat. Like your dandelion greens and the blooms that you made your Jelly from. I for one don't know how to pick a good mushroom from the bad. Just love watching your wonderful shows. ❤️ Thank you so much for keeping our heritage from slipping away. ❤️

I Love your channel, it's just wholesome. When I was a kid in Australia we had a creek at the end of our street that flowed all the way down to the river, it was a magical place to explore and play in for a child. I don't have any extended family left , however my entertainment today is spending time with my kids and grandson and spending time with my friends , reading books and bush walking. Keep doing what you are doing, ❤

I feel right at home, visiting here with you all. I was born and raised in the Appalachian mountains of Virginia but I have been in England for many years now. Even though I live on a farm here, it is a far field from our mountains, both in distance and in ways. I love Katy on her fiddle. She is amazing. And Corey on her guitar. And you all together! I come from a family of fiddlers, both on my father and my mother's side. And no one ever was taught, they just learn to play by ear. My great grandparents got married in Watauga, North Carolina, where Grandma lived, and they walked to his home in SW Virginia. Can you imagine that? They stopped for the night at farms along the way and Grandpa played his fiddle in exchange for their supper and a place to lay their heads. That was in the late 1800's as Grandma was born in 1877 and Grandpa in 1869. I have a picture of them when they got old, Grandpa with his fiddle perched to play. My grandpa on my mother's side played just about everything, I reckon. Poppy was known for his fiddling though, and when he was young, he played at all the dances. It all came to a sad end when he was playing at a local dance, and he saw a fellow go over and ask my Mommaw to dance. Poppy hung up his fiddle that night and vowed he would never play again. I can't believe he didn't, or just not at a dance with other fellows around. He did have an organ in the parlor and he played that when my mother was a child. I guess Appalachian folks should be better known for their sense of family, their music and their pretty girls. That's what I was told as a child, anyway. I knew I was rubbing off on my 9 year old great granddaughter recently. We were touring one of the massive historic homes at Christmas and she said 'Lordy, lordy!!!' I was pleased and laughing at the same time! You should hear 'Mommaw' spoken with little English accents!!! Oh, my goodness!

When I was young at home with my parents and sister, our best entertainment was walking together as a family. There was a lot of walking city neighborhoods in Louisville but when we got a chance my Dad would take us to places where there were wooden trails to walk…something reminiscent of what this vlog was all about. This video brought me lots of peace and happy memories. Thanks so much for that.

Oh my goodness, when you talked about people commenting that you were endangering wildlife by playing in the creek…I belong to a rock hunting group on Facebook and we had a rash of people saying we were “destroying ecosystems” by rock hunting for a pocket full of rocks along creeks. They went as far as to say that simply walking in the woods was evil and that we were destroying the environment because of the leaves and sticks we were disturbing with our feet! Good heavens, seriously?! I reminded them that the very house they are living in, the furniture they are sitting on, the gasoline they fill their cars with, all disturbed ecosystems! That the very vegetables they were eating came from fields that were plowed…and in those fields were mice, voles, snakes, and possibly a few rare creatures whose homes were destroyed so they can eat their salad. That ended it haha! Anyways, it cracked me up because as you were moving around and stacking the rocks I was remembering those conversations…and then you said that you were confronted with the same thing. Joy sponges are everywhere! Beautiful video as always, thank you.

In Tennessee we called the box turtle a tarpin. You remind me so much of my mother when we lived in Tennessee. I used to spend hours as a young boy playing around the branch that came off the spring where we kept our milk and butter. You sure bring back some wonderful memories of Lone Mountain. Thank you.
