Matt and I finally got the overgrown flowerbed tamed. It looks so much better! Once we had the area cleared we planted a few rows of onions to go with our fall greens and turnips.

Thanks for taking us into the yard today. Couldn’t help but laugh when y’all had the are cleaned out & you said you hated to cut your last zinnias & phlox down, and Matt said he didn’t have a problem doing it. You see I have been planting perennial wildflowers on one of my banks over the years. But somebody; my hubby, always seem to forget they’re there and weed whacks them down before they even get out of the ground good. However, this year I finally was able to keep him away from that section & I have been able to enjoy my wildflowers. Plus, hopefully they will reseed and be more plentiful next year. See y’all again next time.

Great video and I loved the story of Granny and the raccoon. Loved Matt’s story too, but not that he took home the copperhead, but how he thought it was cool he caught a poisonous snake and didn’t get bit. I’m sure he was proud of himself. Glad he didn’t do it again. Reminds me of a neighbor’s son back in WV. His name was Phillip and he would catch critters and put them in his pocket, but would forget about them. I head his mother scream many a times when she found them in his pants pockets. That boy got more talkin too than any kid I knew. He actually got a whoppin when she found the dead snake in his pocket. It was just a garden snake but she made sure he wouldn’t pick up another snake to put in his pocket again. I reckon he learned his lesson that day.

Hi Tipper and Matt, I truly enjoy your videos. I know I will be smiling by the time it ends. I'm like Matt and Katy, I love watching the shows about the abandoned houses. They give you a glimpse of the past. I loved the Granny story. I'm still praying for her and all of y'all, the doctor and nurses that will be over seeing her care. Also praying that she stays comfortable and pain free, so she can do her crocheting and canning her green beans. Matt looks more relaxed now that he is working for his woman. Lol. Y'all have a blessed rest of the day. Hugs to you both.

I loved your Granny story! 😊 Y'all sure did a good job! I'm here in Texas, and when we first moved to this place we killed 7 snakes in the first 3 months--3 copperhead, 3 rattlesnakes, and 1 coral snake. Got some barn kitties, and they cleared out all the snakes, moles, gophers, field mice, smaller armadillos, and chased out the raccoons. The only snake we've seen since then was last week---we've had a terrible drought/heat wave, and when my hubby went to check on the sheep one night, he saw a 3 1/2 foot rattlesnake crawl out of the field heading toward a water trough. He got it with a hoe and (wishful thinking) hung it on the fence . It didn't flip over, so no rain for us. Have a blessed evening!

The birdcage trellis you put over the rose bush for Miss Cindy is such a beautiful tribute to a beautiful lady. We’ll just sending you a message to tell you I just love the show and I’m making the Justin Metcalf pickles with my sister this week. I told my sister all about the show. I’ve got 5 sisters and a brother and a beautiful daughter and I’m always talking about your show. Wait til they eat these pickles, then you’ll have another half dozen or so new subscribers. 🤣😂. We’ll see what happens. Anyway take it easy this week, from the Great Lake state of Michigan.
