Celebrating Appalachia
Welcome! Glad you stopped by and hope you stop by often as I celebrate my Appalachian Heritage.
My name is Tipper Pressley. I was born and raised in the mountains of Western North Carolina. I’ve always had a great love and appreciation for my rich Appalachian culture and heritage. In March of 2008 I started the Blind Pig & the Acorn blog in an effort to preserve and celebrate Appalachia.
This channel will continue my endeavor of celebrating the rich culture and heritage of the Appalachian Mountains.

NO VIDEO TONIGHT & NO LIVE TOMORROW NIGHT (MONDAY)
I had a wonderful time at VBS last week. The only bad part was a kid shared a bug with me 😁 Hopefully I'll be back up and running soon.
Here's a video we did this time last year that you might enjoy: https://youtu.be/sB0ul5Oz7GY We did film a Sunday night video so be on the lookout for it in a couple of days.
Hope you have a great week! We appreciate you.

**Edited to say: I didn't realize Paul had put up a song for Mother's Day ☺️ You can see it here: The Hand that Rocks the Cradle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v207c... It's a great song!
Sharing a photo of Granny holding me many years ago here in Wilson Holler and wishing all the mothers biological or by love's adoption a very happy Mother's Day! Your families, friends, and the world are better off for having you!

Happy Resurrection Day
Legend of the Dogwood
At the time of the crucifixion, the dogwood had reached the size of the mighty oak tree. So strong and firm was the wood that it was chosen as the timber for Jesus’ cross.
To be used for such a cruel purpose greatly distressed the dogwood. While nailed upon it, Jesus sensed this, and in his compassion said. “Because of your pity for my suffering, never again shall the dogwood tree grow large enough to be used for a cross. Henceforth, it shall be slender, bent, and twisted, and its blossoms shall be in the form of a cross–two long and two short petals.
“In the center of the outer edge of each petal will be the print of nails. In the center of the flower, stained with blood, will be a crown of thorns so that all who see it will remember.”
(Taken from an old postcard that was in Miss Cindy’s Grandmother’s collection.)
Here’s some of my favorite songs for Easter.
Thirty Pieces of Silver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DONif...
Walking My Lord Up Calvary’s Hill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hrq0V...
Gone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPrgp...
The Tomb is Empty Now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JT6GV...
Palms of Victory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnbjO...
Wishing each of you a blessed Easter. He is risen!

Sorry no live this morning. YouTube is having some technical issues. I even tried another computer and tried going live on the Blind Pig & the Acorn channel too. Nothing worked. I'm sorry I was looking forward to visiting with you all this morning!
We made it fine through the storm. We are so sorry for those who didn't and are praying for them all. So much damage, loss, and destruction. Also please remember to pray for one another-we are praying for each of you. Please continue to remember Janice, Chubs, Brenda, and Cathy. Also remember Baby Silas, and our friend Wendi who will have surgery this Wednesday. Long time subscriber MamaStyles is also in the hospital please remember her.
We hope you have a wonderful week!! We love you all!! I'll see you next Monday for a live visit. Surely they will have it fixed by then : )
