Many evenings in the Spring and early Summer we never really make it in the house… We end up eating dinner out on the patio, feeding the fish and sitting on the swing and just enjoying the Waterfalls 🌊
It’s the midpoint of the week! It’s all downhill from here! Enjoy this #Waterfallwednesday!

Last nights blowing cool front that came in from the North felt like such a blessing! It went from high humidity and HOT to breezy and cool in a moment! Wow! It literally felt like a gift from heaven 🙏🏻 After that we took a walk around the property and admired the Gardens ❤️ Then we sat on the swing, drank coffee and listened to the dryflies, frogs & crickets 🎶
This morning is so nice as well! Coffee and the promise of a little cooler weather… I will take it!
Enjoy this day that the lord has made 🙏🏻
“The steady buzzzzzzz of the Katydid chorus,
the bass solo of the croaking Frog,
the steady woof-woof-woof a barking Dog –
a summer night’s serenade.”

Well Im headed to the house for the evening, but the light was just right so I sat down for a minute to share a moment of Waterfall Wednesday Zen.
This special little space is right behind the Koi Shack. The Water Garden/Pond is approximately 150 square feet in area and a nice Waterfall and Stream flow into the Pond. Your welcome to drop in and see it for yourself during business hours at the Nursery… Feel free to feed the fish, they are ALWAYS hungry 😊

I thought this was a timely shot of a nice Waterfall. This pictures was taken right after dark on a nice evening… Our evenings are about to get a bit longer thanks to Daylight Savings! And its Crappie season at the TN River! This beautiful Pondless Waterfall is at my favorite place to fish for Crappie – Birdsong Resort right outside Camden, TN.
Its Waterfall Wednesday! This weekend we set our clocks ⏰ forward to have more daylight in the evening… I’m ready!
Have a Great #Waterfallwednesday! I’ll see you out on the river 🎣

Yes, the headlines are true… We are closed until Tuesday in observance of Labor Day. Did you know that the Labor Day holiday goes all the way back to the 1800’s?! Pretty cool 😎 I don’t know about you, but my crew has earned a long weekend! Their hard work, along with many others out there, is what makes our country great!
Thanks to my all my people for their hard work and dedication! ❤️
And God Bless the American Worker! 💪🏼 🇺🇸
“Peter J. McGuire, a carpenter and labor union leader, was the person who came up with the idea for Labor Day. He thought American workers should be honored with their own day. He proposed his idea to New York’s Central Labor Union early in 1882, and they thought the holiday was a good idea, too.”

Happy Labor Day! God Bless America! 🇺🇸💥

There’s nothing like the first evening in late Winter or Early Spring when you hear the peepers waking up. Their sound fills the air and you know Spring is almost here. Once “Spring has Sprung” that nighttime sound only gets deeper and more intense… Especially when you have a Pond in your Landscape. I literally fell asleep last night sitting by my Pond 😴
So I made a short video recording of the “Sound of the Season” in my yard. Take a listen 🎧
I sure do enjoy the “Nightlife” 😊
Have a good day and even better night!

Yesterday was so nice. I was outside most of the day, watched the sunset and then made this short little video of my Pond and Waterfall.
Spring is finally here 😊 And I love it! I hope this little clip somehow conveys the feeling of Zen that I get sitting out by my Pond.
Have a Great week!

If you follow my Blog or my Facebook page you know I LOVE Sunrises and Sunsets. I try to get good angles and take pretty pictures of them & then post em’ 😊 I thought about how many I have sat and waited for over the years last night while Jo & I sat on the bank of the river waiting on the perfect picture…
This was last nights sunset. There was a nice breeze blowing and the ‘Feeling’ was in the air 😊
Here’s a few Sunrises and Sunsets from my archives. Many of them hold special memories and significance for me.
Go out tonight & enjoy the Sunset 😊
