Well, the weather outside is awful! Rain đ§Â Wind đ¨Â Muddy- NOT a good day to be in the garden! Ahhh, but all that will change soon & we need to be ready!
Nasty weather this weekend… But – Cheer up, Spring is Coming!
It wonât be long till we see the sun again!! And it wonât be long until we are out in the garden! It sometimes seems like the end of gloomy days isnât in sight, but take heart – Spring is Coming!
Have a great weekend!
PS: Happy Birthday Jacob! â¤ď¸

When weâre talking music, to me thereâs nothing more powerful than a man and his guitar đ¸Â singing  a meaningful tune. When you add the fact that the man is a true poet, magic can happen… This is my favorite version of this old tune, perfect for this Sunday Morning.
Enjoy your Sunday Morning đ

What a beautiful, cold morning! I was going to do this blog on the porch with my morning coffee, but I didnât make it đ A little too cold đĽśÂ … Yesterday was our Annual Fall Fest, and it was a Great one! Lots of familyâs came out to take part in the festivities & Eat lunch with us. Kids fell in love with the animals, all the pumpkins were carved, the piĂąata was busted by a determined group of kids đ And Adam led a great class on seasonal pond maintenance.
I made a collage out of the 200 pictures I had to choose from đ Lots of Fun yesterday!
This was the last event of the season for the Nursery, which is always bittersweet… We have had some really high notes this year at our events & as always, I canât wait till next year! â¤ď¸
Halloween, Thanksgiving & Christmas are coming fast now. I hope we can all enjoy every minute!
Have a Great Sunday!

I was up early to drink coffee and enjoy these wonderful morning temperatures đ We were up late last night seeing over the latest Moonlight Pond Tour event. What a wonderful, beautiful night! The weather was perfect & so many people came through to look at the Gardens & Ponds.
It was such a perfect night for a Pond Tour! I just Love this Waterfall! â¤ď¸
Jo and I spent the majority of the night at the nursery selling tickets and visiting with friends new and old. We saw lots of familyâs young and old alike, just enjoying being outside in the garden, under the Harvest Moon đ It made me think of this poem by Carl Sandburg-
Thanks to everyone who participated and donated to the Jackson Animal Care Center! And a very special Thank You to the wonderful Homeowners who allowed us all to stroll through their Gardens in the Moonlight đâ¤ď¸
Have a Wonderful Sunday!

I was up late last night and into the early morning hours. Playing with my new camera đ¸Â This morning all I wanted was a cup of coffee đ
I walked into the kitchen to fix some coffee, Jo said âlook by the chairâ… Sure enough, she had me fixed up and ready at my favorite spotđ
âFrom the cupboard two mugs are brought
Grounds are measured, water hot
The drips fill up the coffee ***
From the spout the bold brew streams
One sweet with sugar, rich with cream
The other black, reflection gleams
Both give rise to wisps of steam
Anticipation piqued
Each unique
At first, slow sips with careful words
Not too much, donât get burned
Pleasure comes with each sip
The words caressing from your lip
Drinks become deeper, feelings slip
My cupâs now empty, but my heart is litâ
~ Jaron
Have a great Sunday!

Everyone loves a good âRoad Songâ. A perfect song to get behind the wheel and set off to… I have always loved this old John Kilzer song! Since Johns untimely death, itâs now available on iTunes with that entire album! In my opinion, one of the best rock albums EVER!
This has always been one of my favorites off this album. John was an Awesome musician! May he Rest In Peace!
Hereâs the song –
Iâm gonna get out on the Highway today myself! Yâall have a great weekend!
PS: Take a few minutes and put together a âRoad Song Playlistâ – Then get out and take a ride around your beautiful area of the world and enjoy!đ
