Here we are, the last day of 2019. The crossroads of a new year! A new decade! New Years Eve is always a strange and special day. You look back and you look ahead.
Hindsight is 2020… So is next year 😎
The future is what we make of it… You always hear that & in my experience, it rings true! Lets do this! Lets make 2020 the best year yet! Here’s to the future!

Well this is the last Monday morning of the year. I have been debating what to post for the Moment of Zen. After much thought, I decided to post a “Top 3” of 2019. This isn’t scientific, just 3 nice, short videos of peaceful, Zen inspiring Waterfalls for ya’.
I hope this brings a little Zen into your day!
Who wouldn’t enjoy a ‘Moment of Zen’ here by this pond 😊
PS: Happy New Year!

Rainy night followed by a rainy morning. I’ve been sipping coffee since early, thinking about the holidays and all the family we got to see and all the stuff we did. We are having one more late holiday get together with some out of town family and then it’s all about New Years!
Only a few days left in this decade! What will I do with them…
Today is the last Sunday of the year! Last Sunday of the decade to be exact! It’s been a good year! Fast but good. I have started a list of goals for 2020. #1 in the list, spend more quality time with family and friends. The more I think about it, that’s a goal worth striving for.
Have a great Sunday with family and friends!
New Years is Coming!

White Christmas? I think not! In fact Christmas was a beautiful Spring day! 😎 70’ish degrees. Perfect for a cookout! All the doors and windows open kind of day.
It has been so warm. The last week has felt like an early Spring…
There’s one thing for certain when it comes to Winter weather in the south! If you don’t like the weather, just wait a minute, things are about to change!😊
Tennessee USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map. Spring is Coming!
I’m not one to waste nice weather! I’ve been planning for next years Displays & Gardens! I can’t wait!!! I’ve been planning some great events too! The events will be complete and listed on the website and here on the blog by the 1st week in January. ❤️ 2020 is going to be Awesome!
2019 is about to leave the building! 2020 is Coming! Are you ready?
No matter the weather, I hope you’ve had a wonderful Holiday Season! The new year approaches… 2020 is going to be YUGE!💥

The New Year is Coming! Fast! In fact this is the last Friday of 2019! Pretty crazy that it has gone by so quickly… But, it’s true that “time flies”!
2019 is on the way out! What does 2020 hold for YOU???
A good friend once told me the older you get the faster the time flies. It took me a while to understand that, but now I think I do. In a simple way, the older we get, the less time we have in our future… The demand is still there, but the supply is dwindling. So time becomes more and more valuable! That makes sense in my mind.
So along those lines, 2020 is coming fast & I want to make the very best I can of every moment! 😊
Im already working on my 2020 Events Calendar for Carters Nursery (I’m very excited for next year!).
What do you want in 2020? Do you set goals? Do you make “Resolutions”?
I don’t normally do New Years “Resolutions” but I’m considering a couple this year… IF I do, I will post them for all to see 😊 It may help my accountability to any resolution I make? We will see…
Good luck! & Heres to a GREAT 2020!
– See y’all next year!

Christmas has now come and gone… All that’s left is to clean up the mess 😊 We always seem to make some good memories every season and I wouldn’t want to miss it for the world! Here an old #throwbackthursday picture from many moons ago. My lil sister and I in front of the tree.
Here’s a Throwback pic of my sister & I from Christmas’ past…
Santa was the main man for us back then… How about you?
Now it’s on to 2020! This is my offering for #throwbackthursday
Happy New Year! 🎊

Christmas Eve is here… It feels like it will never arrive, then Boom 💥 In reality it seems to fly by faster each year. Our family always gathers today for a big get together and meal. Then we watch a Christmas movie. Then we always get to pick a present to open tonight, saving the others till Tomorrow morning. Then before bed we read The Night Before Christmas, aka: A Visit From St. Nicholas. There is a lot of comfort in these family traditions ❤️ and this is always one of my favorite days of the year. I hope you all have a happy day and get to enjoy some family traditions of your own.
Don’t forget to leave milk and cookies for Santa tonight 🎅🏻 Merry Christmas!
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Peace, Love & Merry Christmas! 🎄❤️

Good Morning! Christmas spirit is in the air! We are only 2 days from the Big Day! I couldn’t think of a better way to relax and get into the spirit than listening to good Christmas music in front of a roaring fire 🔥
Enjoy the fire 🔥 and enjoy the music 🎶 Merry Christmas 🎄 🎅🏻

Good morning and Merry Christmas to all! We are in the final countdown to the big day…
The time is flying by! 3,2,1 Boom 💥
This world is wild as an old wives’ tale,
And strange the plain things are,
The earth is enough and the air is enough
For our wonder and our war;
But our rest is as far as the fire-drake swings
And our peace is put in impossible things
Where clashed and thundered unthinkable wings
Round an incredible star.
To an open house in the evening
Home shall men come,
To an older place than Eden
And a taller town than Rome.
To the end of the way of the wandering star,
To the things that cannot be and that are,
To the place where God was homeless
And all men are at home.
~ G.K. Chesterton “The House of Christmas”.
Merry Christmas 🎄 🎅🏻
