June 6th. – A Very Important Day! 🇺🇸 For Multiple Reasons… | Jackson, TN

Today is a special day! In more ways than 1… Today, every American should remember the D-Day Invasion of WWII, June 6, 1944. That was the day that Allied forces invaded northern France by means of beach landings in Normandy. My grandfathers unit was there (Omaha Beach) and I have always felt a sense of pride and gratitude knowing what all those great men did for us 🇺🇸

Grandad was a Tank Destroyer in WWII. Today was a big day for the men that landed on the beaches at Normandy. Big day for all of us as well! God Bless America

The other thing that makes this a very special day is that today is my moms birthday! A very special day indeed! 🎂 

Happy Birthday mom! 🎈

You can’t send mom a Facebook Birthday message, because she’s not on Facebook 😊 BUT, she does read my BLOG … So feel free to drop a HB comment here if you’d like to. I’ll make sure she gets it

Thanks mom for all you do! You are a linchpin! You hold it all together and make it all work. I don’t know what I would do without you

Happy Birthday Mom! 🎁  I Love You! ❤️ 

“Thoughtful lady, that works so hard,
Always been there, my dear lifeguard.
Places others before herself,
Proud of pictures on her shelf.

When in pain, maintains her smile,
Multi-tasking, she’s versatile.
With all of this; time she finds,
Her love for us, constantly reminds.

On her birthday, just want to say,
I don’t know how, I will repay?
Eternally grateful, I hope she will see,
The greatest mother, she will always be.”

~ Martin Dejnicki

Monday Morning Moment of Zen | Carters Nursery Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN

Good morning 🌞 We all need a little something to get us up and moving on a Monday morning. How about a natural Waterfall that has been over a million years in the making. Very few people will get to see this Waterfall, mainly because of access… You have to go to the Mountains and then hike for miles and hours down to it… Then, you gotta hike back UP… That’s the tough part.

Hemlock Falls

The pure power of this falls is amazing! By the time you get to it, you are hot and sweaty… The wind from the falling water is AMAZING! It’s cool and refreshing and full of energy all at the same time… Very easy to sit down and get lost in time… Very Zen.

Enjoy your day! And even better, enjoy your week!

Here’s to a Monday Morning Moment of Zen 🙏🏻

Sunday Reflection’s…

I was thinking/reflecting this morning while I sipped my coffee about the passage of time and the seasons. As winter slowly moves into spring, it feels like warmer weather will never arrive. Then boom 💥 it’s June again… Time is so funny! I guess the old wisdom holds true, time is fleeting… The only real time is Now!

Don’t blink… And don’t procrastinate! Time waits for no man! Get out and enjoy NOW! Carpe Diem’!

“This is June, the month of grass and leaves . . . already the aspens are trembling again, and a new summer is offered me.  I feel a little fluttered in my thoughts, as if I might be too late.  Each season is but an infinitesimal point.  It no sooner comes than it is gone.  It has no duration.  It simply gives a tone and hue to my thought.  Each annual phenomena is reminiscence and prompting.  Our thoughts and sentiments answer to the revolution of the seasons, as two cog-wheels fit into each other.  We are conversant with only one point of contact at a time, from which we receive a prompting and impulse and instantly pass to a new season or point of contact.  A year is made up of a certain series and number of sensations and thoughts which have their language in nature.  Now I am ice, now I am sorrel.  Each experience reduces itself to a mood of the mind.”
– Henry David Thoreau, Journal, June 6, 1857


Enjoy the day!

Sunday Reflection’s…

Well it’s official, the Summertime season is upon us! Yes, it’s Memorial Day Weekend 🇺🇸 This is the weekend that we kick it off for Summer – boating, grilling, pools, etc. This is a very Important Day/Weekend for our country as well…

Thank you! To all the men and women who gave all so we could have and enjoy our freedom! Tell your kids and grandkids what this day stands for! 🇺🇸 God Bless America 💥

Memorial Day honors and mourns our brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country! Its our duty to remember that all this happiness and freedom that we enjoy comes from the blood and sacrifice of soldiers who fought and died for all our freedoms! And its our duty to teach this to our children and grandchildren… Freedom isn’t Free! 

“By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
   Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood
   And fired the shot heard round the world.

The foe long since in silence slept;
   Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
   Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.

On this green bank, by this soft stream,
   We set today a votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem,
   When, like our sires, our sons are gone.

Spirit, that made those heroes dare
   To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
   The shaft we raise to them and thee”

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

God Bless America 🇺🇸

Sunday Reflection’s…

West Tn. weather is crazy, but still very seasonably predictable… The blackberries are in bloom once again & boom 💥 here comes a cold front that drops the temps overnight. Cool and crisp this morning and it feels SO GOOD 😊 I love me some ‘Blackberry Winter’…

Enjoy this day and this lovely little cold snap… knowing that soon, Summer Heat will be upon us! And, it will be time to pick blackberries once again 😊

“I see blackberry winter’s here
that very special time of year
when thorny vine’s small pure white bloom
announces colder weather’s doom.

It’s cold enough to wear long sleeves
to ward off spring’s last chilly breeze
yet warm enough up in the day
to show that cold won’t long hold sway.

The flower of this lowly berry
reminds that summer won’t long tarry.
This mini-season won’t last long
so don a coat and tag along.

We’ll both enjoy this evening’s nip
hands in each other’s loving grip
and gaze into each other’s eyes
as stars replace the clear blue skies.

As whippoorwill gives serenade
from ‘cross the pond in brushy glade
beneath a blanket we’ll start to plan
vacation on the ocean’s sand.

But in the back of cozy mind
all thoughts of winter left behind
tiny voices, soft and sweet
reminds that next comes summer heat.”

~ Stan Holiday

I’m off for an adventure… Y’all have fun 🤩
