Its a mild, beautiful, overcast morning. A perfect morning to get out and enjoy the air, check on plants, listen to the birds and the Waterfalls. I’m drinking my coffee this morning from the Hemingway House cup we got down in Key West earlier this year 😊 Like Earnest, I love cats 🐈 too…
Our cat isn’t a ”polydactyl type”, but shes a heck of a mouser 🐁 And she LOVES mint! Not just catmint, most any mint will do 😊
Balance is so important in life. All the hard work we have been doing to keep the Nursery up and to prepare for the upcoming Pond Tour is balanced by the beauty of the Landscape that I enjoy every time I stop to admire a flower or feed a Koi 🐠 Or even to watch my cat working through every one of my plants to see which ones she likes the best 🌺
Have a blessed Sunday 🙏🏻

We’ve been straitening up around the Ponds getting ready for the coming pond tour on June 25th. I always tell my clients that when I install their Water Feature, they actually get 2 features! The Daytime Water Feature, & the Nighttime one… Me, I LOVE the nightlife!
I can sit by my Nighttime Pond and feed my Koi and listen to the Waterfalls and frogs 🐸 till I fall to sleep 😴 Its so relaxing and hypnotic…
The frogs are in full force right now! It literally sounds like the TN River in my yard 🐸
Enjoy Waterfall Wednesday! And enjoy your Waterfalls! And if you want to find out more about a Waterfall of your own, come by Carters Nursery Pond & Patio, we will show you the ropes! There is also an Awesome Pond Tour coming up on Saturday, June 25th that will introduce you to the wonderful world of Waterfalls 😊

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 🇺🇸
The other thing that makes this a very special day is that today is my moms birthday! A very special day indeed! 🎂
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 here 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.”

What a beautiful morning! I have been looking through pictures of this last week and really reflecting on all the good things that happened. There is and will always be bad things that happen in life, but I try to focus and reflect on the good ones… Business is good, our gardens are flourishing, and one of my oldest friends just got married to the girl of his dreams ❤️ I was his best man to boot 😊 Darn good week!
I LOVE outdoor weddings! And this one stole the show ❤️ Perfect weather, music, food, friends and family… Thats what its all about!
Congratulations Matt & Esther Brown!❤️
“Understand, I’ll slip quietly
Away from the noisy crowd
When I see the pale
Stars rising, blooming over the oaks.
I’ll pursue solitary pathways
Through the pale twilit meadows,
With only this one dream:
You come too.”
~ Rainer Maria Rilke

Remember
Someone’s child, left long ago,
A strange land,
Someone’s foe.
An unmarked grave, fields of green,
Resting quiet,
Just eighteen.
Winds of freedom, wash us now,
Remember him,
This I vow

God Bless America! 🇺🇸
