Carter's Water Garden


Waterfall Wednesday | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, Tennessee

The Pond is Beautiful! The water is SO clear & the plants look so nice 😊 It’s #WaterfallWednesday folks! The Waterfall in this picture isn’t in the forefront as you see… I wanted the Waterfall to be in the background  so this beautiful Lotus could shine 🌞 You also see a colorful Koi swimming in the pond back there too… All integral parts that make a “Water Garden” the sum total!

A beautiful Water Garden is achieved by having all the integral parts working together. Stone, gravel,
Aquatic plants, fish, a waterfall, etc. | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, Tennessee

I hope everyone is having a Great “Waterfall Wednesday”!

 

PS: I hope this will work as your Hump Day Koi Fix too 😎

Social Networking Tuesday | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, Tn

I just LOVE Networking online! Here’s a great example, our friends at Asia Garden Chinese & Japanese Restaurant https://www.asiagardenjackson.com/ came out to our nursery and enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the gardens, AND took some Awesome photos of some of their Top Shelf Creations 😊 How cool!

What a great way to spread the love of 2 of my favorite things – Waterfalls & Food 😊

 

Have a great night!

Monday Morning Moment Of Zen | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, Tennessee

I recently added some Color Changing Underwater Lights to a couple of my Water Features at the Nursery. This is a Color Changing Fountain Light in this Stacked Slate Urn Fountain. I don’t know about you, but I LOVE it ❤️!

I LOVE these new Color Changing Lights! They are LED’s and pretty much maintenance free 😊

Sitting outside at night with the sound of the Waterfalls and these lights slowly changing colors, will almost hypnotize you. So relaxing and Zen like 😊

 

I hope this brought a little Zen into your day😊

Sunday Reflections…

What a beautiful morning! The river is smooth as glass and it feels so good outside 😊 Sunday morning with my family, on the river, at the marina for breakfast is always a Great Day! ❤️

The dogs know what Sunday morning means… BACON 🥓💥

 

This is the final leg of Jo & I’s 26th Anniversary celebration 😊 We had to include Jacob and the pups to really celebrate! What better way than a day on the river 😊

“That beautiful season the Summer!
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light;
and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.”
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Have a great Sunday!

Horrible, But Nostalgic Memories…What? | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, Tennessee

Is there something that you can think of that the smell or taste of it would make you sick? I have to confess, I do! When I was a kid, health was a big deal in my family! Eating right, wearing comfortable shoes, getting the proper sleep, brushing your teeth & being “regular” in the bathroom were all stressed! If you weren’t up to snuff on any of these daily rituals, there was a cure waiting for ya’ with my Grandad! He would say, “I got just the thang to sweeten you up and make you feel good”! His remedy – Sal Hepatica!

In a way I guess this stuff made me stronger? At least it made me act stronger 😂 If you said you felt bad in front of my Grandad, he would make you take a dose of this stuff 🤢 So if he ever asked, “How ya’ feeling boy?” My response was always – “I’m feeling great, Grandad!”

Now I don’t know if any of you remember this stuff, but if you do, you will remember it well! It’s a phizzy, bubbly, salty Laxative that you drink… #1 you gotta Choke it down! It tastes HORRIBLE! #2 you better be near a toilet! Cause as soon as you drink it, “This is Happening” takes on a whole new meaning!!! 😵

I hated this stuff so bad, I always faked incredible health around grandad even if I felt like crap 😂 💩 He would strait up make you drink some Sal Hepatica! They finally stopped making it, which was a Great day in our family!

Tomorrow is my  26th wedding anniversary! This bottle was one of my presents from my wife! My “Sal Hepatica Stories” inspired my wife to buy me this old bottle for my collection 😊 You don’t know how much that makes me smile! She’s too cool! 😎

IF, any of you have a Sal Hepatica story of your own, please share it here on my blog or on my Facebook page. I’d love to hear it!

Thanks for reading to the end of this random story… Have a great day!

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

I’ve posted this video before, but I know many haven’t seen it & I really want this message to get out there. Talk about relaxing & a feeling of Zen! Many don’t even know that you can develop something like this at your home.

Zen is much easier to find here…

Imagine how you would use this space! Imagine the impact on your daily life… 💥

Have a Great Monday!
