Good morning! Well, it’s official… I’m a Blogger geek! At least that’s what my wife and son say 😊 This is my 3rd year doing a daily Blog & I don’t really see an end in sight.
Most Journals are private, this one is public. Published daily…
Many people write a daily journal or diary to get their thoughts recorded. I guess that’s what my Blog is in a way. It’s part life experience, part education & hopefully partly entertainment for others… In any case, it has become a passion & a daily activity that drives me to type & photograph & record things in my daily life. I’m not in any way comparing myself to one of my favorite writers, Thoreau, but I love and identify with this quote of his 👇🏻
Have a great Tuesday!

GREAT show today with Dan & Sea Bass – “The 180 Crew”! The weather is heating up! And so were the calls today!

Today we talked about everything from Trimming unwanted growth from Crepe Myrtles to helping Jackson, TN get a new dog park – #jacksontn #dogparkdash !
– LOTS of people asking & texting about the upcoming Pond Tour! I hope you will ALL come out and help us raise some much needed $$ for the animals! The Pond Tour is Saturday, June 23rd. from 9am till 4pm. THEN, there is an appreciation party (The Moonlight Luau) from 8 – 10pm at Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio! Y’all help spread the word.
- It’s getting HOT! Protect your pets AND your plants! Proper feeding and watering over the next several months is crucial to the health of your pets AND your gardens too 🙂
- The days are getting LONGER as we approach the Summer Solstice – Thursday, June 21st! (the longest day of the year)! Get outside in the evenings! You can feel the days stretching out 🙂
- One caller has a 100 year old Mulberry Tree in his yard – I gotta go check that out!
- Jackson, TN may be getting a new Dog Park out by Generals Park! Check it out online and on facebook – You can help promote it by hash-tagging posts about the project, animal photos and stories etc. #jacksontn & #dogparkdash

My grandparents were instrumental in my becoming a lifelong Gardener! So many days were spent with them planting and weeding and picking and preserving… Such great memories 🙂 My grandfather played a game with me to teach me to identify trees at a distance. I knew almost every tree by the time I was 10! My whole family has a true love for nature. Our Summers were spent in the woods & around the streams & creeks of the TN River playing and fishing. I wouldn’t trade my childhood for anything!
When I was around 10 years old my grandma Kay gave me a book of stories, quotes and journal entries of Henry David Thoreau & suggested that I read it. I took her advice & it really opened my eyes & made me think.
My Grandmother gave me this book when I was 10 years old. I still have it and I still reference the quotes and pictures all these years later. Thoreau really speaks to me…
I chose to become a professional Landscape & Water Feature Designer so I could do and be around what I love, nature! Reading his journal from all these years ago makes me smile. If he were alive today, he would be a daily blogger 🙂 I write a daily blog about ponds, streams & gardening – my passions! This is one of my favorite quotes from Thoreau. I feel the same way sometimes. I need to write it down in someway or it will just spill over and run to waste 🙂
