We had a great day off for our 26th. Wedding Anniversary! The weather was perfect 👌🏻 so we just made a day of riding around, eating out & Junking! Bought a few really nice old things (Junk to most 😊)… And finished the day off at our favorite marina with the perfect sunset 🌅. All in all, a perfect day! ❤️
This is my wife Jo & I 26 years in. We still Kickin’!
Here’s to 26 More! 🍾💥 ❤️

Do y’all know what “Throwback Thursday” is? There’s no shame if you don’t 😊 It’s a fairly new social phenomenon… You post old photos from the past & hashtag it like this – #ThrowbackThursday OR #TBT – Then post it on your social media page for all the world to see 😊 I had already done today’s blog and was about to publish it this morning when my son came out to go to work with my crew. I literally got a lump in my throat thinking about how fast time flies by… So today, a short #TBT for ya.
This is a picture of Jacob from 10 years ago at one of our Butterfly House programs. He has grown up at the Nursery & Loves it ❤️
This one is from 12 or so years back. Jacob and his Grandad at a Pond Club Event 😊
Lot of great memories and Throwback Thursday pics of that little boy from yesterday.
Cut to 2019… Now he is 17 years old & 6’ 3”! Time flies by folks….
Now Jacob is learning the ropes of working in the field with the crew. And Loving it! 🌞
This is my offering on #ThrowbackThursday ! A look back & a glimpse of what’s to come❤️
Have a GREAT Day!

He said “It is finished”, we didn’t understand that It had just begun. Be thankful for His sacrifice on this, Good Friday.

All this warm weather this last week followed by this rain last night and today is going to make all these emerging plants and trees just explode with growth. I LOVE Spring 😊 Enjoy a rainy Sunday with family and friends.
Sometimes a rainy day is a sweet thing 😊
Have a great day!

I slept in this morning… Didn’t get up till 6! And it felt great! 😊 Yesterday was a FUN day of talking, visiting and cooking for everyone at our annual Spring Fest…. But it wore me out 😉 After we got it all cleaned up and settled in for the evening, I went to sleep in my chair around 8pm.! I asked Jo why she didn’t wake me up to go to bed, she said I was sleeping so good she hated to bother me 😊 PS: It WAS some good sleep! I want to say “Thank you” to everyone who came out yesterday to visit, say hi 👋, pet the animals, eat lunch and helped to make this annual event a success! Happy Spring to ALL!
Kids having fun 😊 That’s what it’s all about! Thanks to everyone who helped us ring in Spring!
Have a great Sunday Morning 🌞

Nothing fancy today! Just a collage of photos from days gone by with family and friends. YES, I’ve been sappy about going into a New Year… Excited, reflective, full of memories & dreams of the future 😊
#throwbackthursday!
This started as a single “#throwbackthursday photo… It turned into a bit of fun, at least for me 😊
Happy New Year!

What a perfect wintry morning! It’s freezing cold, sleet and freezing rain have been coming down, and I just turned 50 years old! 😳
Everyone has been asking me “How does it feel to turn 50”? So I’ve been reflecting & pondering on the question… 🤔
This has always been my philosophy. Growing older is a privilege & if your lucky, you’ll age gracefully … But you don’t have to fully “grow up”! 😊
50 feels pretty good really! I’ve been blessed with a great family & wonderful friends & I love ❤️ my Job! Plus, it’s almost Christmas 🎄
Christmas is coming fast this year!
Christmas is coming fast this year! But, we are all ready for a wonderful Christmas with family & friends 🎅🏻
Thank you All for the outpouring of love the last couple days! It made hitting the “Half Century Mark” a pleasure 😍
“There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.”
~ Sophia Loren.
Peace, Love & Merry Christmas!
