Sunday Reflection’s…

Isn’t it funny how things change and turn on a dime… Last week was warm (HOT a couple days…) and we passed our normal final frost date… My mother in law was is bad shape in the hospital, Jo was with her, and I was all alone 🤔 Cut to this week… We will be waking Monday morning to a Late Frost 🥶- On Earth 🌍 Day to boot! It’s been almost cold the last couple of days🥶… But tolerable, arguably nice compared to last weeks heat wave. Now it’s break out the sheets and pillow cases to cover tender plants 🪴 And bring in what you can! You gotta love West TN Weather!

Break out the sheets and plastic, we got a crazy late frost heading our way tonight and into the morning that’s gonna break hearts & records! 😢

Now the good news! Kathy is doing much better! She’s out of the hospital and going through physical therapy ❤️ Many prayers 🙏🏻 answered for Kathy 🙏🏻 Thank you to the many who called or sent message with hopes and prayers for her healing ❤️‍🩹

For me, it’s moving a LOT of plants and covering a LOT more… But first, more Coffee ☕️

”If Spring came but once in a century, instead of once a year, or burst forth with the sound of an earthquake, and not in silence, what wonder and expectation there would be in all hearts to behold the miraculous change!  But now the silent succession suggests nothing but necessity.  To most men only the cessation of the miracle would be miraculous and the perpetual exercise of God’s power seems less wonderful than its withdrawal would be.”

~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Have a Great Sunday!

Sunday Reflection’s…

To say it’s been a busy week would be an understatement… Busy Sunday morning too! I just looked up and it was 1pm 😮 Where did the morning go? Taking care of our little nursery/farm is a big part! Watering has gone back to hours of work daily now… But today is a bit different. My normal partner in crime/Sunday helper 😊 (Jo), is sitting with her mom in the hospital 🏥 🙏🏻❤️ She has been for the last week and thank the Lord she has been there, on more than a few occasions! 🙏🏻 We are all praying for Kathy 🙏🏻 and if your the praying kind, she can use all she can get…

In other news, the whole world has budded out and is blooming! We had a successful Spring fest last weekend and it already feels like early Summer ❤️🌺

The whole Garden is in bloom 🌺

”In the garden’s heart, where secrets lie,
Every flower blooms, under the same sky.
In nature’s embrace, let your worries cease,
Find your peace, in its quiet release.”

~ Unknown

Have a great Sunday afternoon 🙏🏻

Prayers for Kathy’s total healing and return home 🙏🏻

Sunday Reflection’s…

What a difference a week makes! We have moved plants in and out, and back in out ad infinitum… At least it seems like that 😇 But that’s Spring in TN! This last week we saw an 80 degree high, rain 🌧️ light snow ❄️ frosty mornings and then yesterday- The perfect day for an event that we have been putting on for 26 years – Our Annual Aquatic Workshop and Spring Fest ❤️

It looks like we are past Frost now 🙏🏻 So the planting is about to begin in earnest! Tomato’s 🍅 Squash, cucumbers 🥒 beans 🫘 Flowers 🌺 flowers flowers and more!

I enjoy my hanging baskets and flowers 🌺! Each year I create a “plant wall” of sorts to give me more shade and more privacy. I’m starting on this years design today! I ❤️ It!

My day is just getting started… More coffee ☕️ then I’m off…

“To what purpose, April, do you return again?
Beauty is not enough.
You can no longer quiet me with the redness
Of little leaves opening stickily.
I know what I know.
The sun is hot on my neck as I observe
The spikes of the crocus.
The smell of the earth is good.
It is apparent that there is no death.
But what does that signify?”

~ Edna St. Vincent Millay

Enjoy your Sunday!

Don’t Mind The Frost… Today Is The 1st Day of Spring 🌼 | Vernal Equinox | Carters Nursery Pond&Patio | Jackson, TN

We’ve been patiently waiting… And now the day has arrived! It’s the 1st Day of Spring!

Have YOU ever tried to balance an egg on the Spring or Fall equinox? It was a thing when I was a kid. I’m thinking it was around 3rd. Grade or so? I went home and worked for what seemed like hours, but finally got one to balance!
PS: science?

I am excited! It was a cold 🥶 freezing night last night, but things are looking up ⬆️

It’s the 1st day of SPRING!

“The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another.  The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month.”

~ Henry Van Dyke

Have a great day! 🌼🍀❤️
