Good Morning!!🌞 This beautiful picture popped up as a Facebook memory this morning from many years ago. Its probably my favorite Nativity scene ever! It was timed perfectly with the season, so I thought i would pass it along… If you are going to be down around Mobile Alabama for Christmas, this lighting display is worth going to visit! Its HUGE! And so beautiful!

I hope your all ready to look at some Christmas lights this month, I know we are 😊
Have a great #Throwbackthursday!

Good morning! And welcome to December🎅🏻 The year has gone by so fast that it almost surprised me 😳 But here we are, last month of 2021 and Christmas is coming!

So much happens during December. Family dinners, Christmas parties, several family Birthdays and work really intensifies trying to finish the year… But, keeping in the spirit of the season is so important!
Christmas 🎄 is Coming!
Have a great day!

This weekend there is a very Unique Opportunity to get outside, under a Full Moon, and tour some Gorgeous, well lit Gardens! All of them include beautiful Water Features and extensive lighting and Landscaping. Some with Outdoor Kitchens, Fire pits, Patios, Pergolas and more.

When: Saturday, September 18th. from dusk (7:00) till 11pm.

This popped up as a Facebook Memory today and it’s very timely in more ways than one!

My friend and fellow guitar 🎸 picker Willi X Evans posted this on Facebook 7 years ago and it popped up as a memory this morning! Perfect timing in more ways than 1! Not only is it pickling season, it’s Moonlight Pond Tour 🌝 season as well! And Willi has played the music at more Pond Tours than any other band or musician! 💥 Come see Willi X – Live! at Carters Nursery Saturday, September 18th. For our Annual
- Moonlight Pond Tour!

Here’s the Video 👇🏻
By the way, here’s Willi’s recipe for the Pickled Peppers 🌶
So here goes –
INGREDIENTS
Makes 4 — 8 ounce jars
4 8 ounce mason or ball jars with lids and seals
Approximately15 jalapeno peppers sliced
Approximately 8 Cayenne peppers sliced
2 Cups white vinegar
1 Cup water
1 tsp pickling or Kosher salt
4 Cloves of garlic
INSTRUCTIONS
Sterlize jars and lids by placing them carefully in a pot of boiling water for at least 15 minutes
Use tongs to remove jars and lids and place on a clean towel to dry
Prepare peppers by slicing them or piercing them
Make the brine by combining the vinegar, water and salt to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes
Meanwhile place the peppers in each of the 4 jars filling them up and place one clove of garlic in each
Pour brine over peppers in each jar (should be about 1/2 cup per jar)
Secure lids tightly on each jar
Bring water to boil in sterilizing pot again and submerge the 4 jars in pot — covering jars about 1/2 way
Let boil for about 30 minutes
Carefully remove jars from water with tongs and set to cool
As jars cool, listen for the lids to snap indicating a secure seal — if jar doesn’t seal, store in refrigerator
Wait a least a week before opening properly sealed jar and refrigerate after opening”
Have a great #Throwbackthursday!
