The morning after is real… 🤫 I was the only one up in the whole house most of the morning… I don’t know what it is, but i cant “sleep in”. I’m just drawn up and then outside in the morning 🌞 But truth be told, I am pretty worn out too… Last night we hosted our annual Moonlight Pond Tour for the 17th time. And it was such a beautiful night!
We didn’t get through talking with folks, closing up and blowing out all the Tiki Torches and candles till around 12:30 last night, which is pretty late for an old Pond Guy and Gal 😊 But then when we got inside the house, were wide awake… so we had coffee and cake… ☕️🍰 Whew, great day and what a great night! but then… The Morning After 😒 I may need a nap 🥱
Thank You! to everyone who came out to support the cause! And a BIG ’Thank You’ to the homeowners who hosted the tour! ❤️ Its an honor and a privilege to be surrounded by such Awesome and caring people 🙏🏻
Enjoy your day!
“Earth has not anything to show more fair:
Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
A sight so touching in its majesty:
This City now doth, like a garment, wear
The beauty of the morning …”

I told my wife that a minute ago and grinned 😊 Mmmm Hmmmm… ”Lets hear it, whats a burble”? Well well I said, let me lay this on ya’ real quick…
Here’s the definition of Burble : Verb ;
“To burble is to move with a rippling flow, the way water bubbles down the side of a small garden waterfall. A stream burbles as it travels along its bed, bubbling over rocks and branches. The verb burble captures both the movement of the water and the sound it makes as it moves.”
~ definition from vocabulary.com
If you just watched and listened to this :30 second video, you know what a Burble sounds like 😊 This Saturday night, during the Moonlight Pond Tour, theres gonna be ”A WHOLE LOTTA BURBLING GOING ON” 💥
There will be LIVE Music at the Nursery Saturday Night during the Pond Tour! AND – I might even perform my brand new ditty ”Whole Lotta Burbling Goin On” 💥
What: The 17th. Annual Moonlight Pond Tour
When: Saturday, September 18th. from dusk (7:00) till 11pm.

Time keeps flying by 💨 Here we are, post Labor Day and moving quickly toward Fall 🍁 But fret not! Theres a lot of cooler weather and cool things to do ahead! The 1st on the list is our annual Moonlight Pond Tour! 🌝
“We have been hosting Pond Tours for decades now, and we still Love introducing people to this wonderful backyard hobby”, says Mark Carter, Designer at Carters Nursery. “This is our annual Fall Pond Tour that always lines up with the Harvest Moon. Its an evening/nighttime Tour, which is very unique. There are only a few of these that take place across the entire country. Its a unique opportunity to get outside in a beautiful, almost magical garden setting, in the moonlight! My favorite event of the year” says Carter.
We are selling tickets for the tour Now at the Nursery Office, and will be every day until the tour starts on Saturday evening around 6:45 pm!
So we are starting the countdown today at T-minus 10… I’ll see you Saturday, September 18th for the Moonlight Pond Tour!
Have a great day!

I made a “random” Facebook post today with a picture of our dog Ranger as a puppy. He was a big hit! He’s such a handsome dog and he was the cutest puppy ever 🐶 Honestly, I didn’t even think about the fact that it’s #throwbackthursday!
So I thought I would just flip the same theme over to my blog today. What a great Throwback memory! He is now 4 years old 😊
PS: I literally forgot to publish this earlier today 🙄 Hope you had a great Throwback Thursday!

All my memories as far back as I can recall, involve a dog. “Mans best friend” didn’t get to be their calling card for no reason! I really believe that Dogs make us better people…
Yesterday we all got out to do a few things in the snow and ice. Long story short, I twisted my ankle a bit… And Scout is stove up a bit today as well. But, when she saw me in pain, she crawled over to me this morning to let me know that she loved me. Your dog wants to take care of you more than their self… What an admirable trait.
Im gonna try to be more like my dogs from now on. I think if we all did, the world would be a better place😊
