I was awoken this morning early by cracking and falling trees… I hadnt heard anything like it in decades. The last time I heard that noise Jo and I were newlyweds. It was 1994… Do you remember the Ice Storm of 94’?
I think this years ‘Unexpected’ Ice Storm is much more manageable, but, there is still quite a bit of damage. And many are without power… Ive got quite a bit of clean up to do as soon as this melts a bit.
Until then, I’ll try to find the beauty in the ice…
I hope your damage was light and your familys are warm and safe! 🙏🏻

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.”

I have received a few calls and messages asking if we are open today, we are not… We are closed today and Monday for Memorial Day. Have a great weekend! And remember, This weekend we honor the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. “All gave some. Some gave all”.
Remember
Someone’s child, left long ago,
A strange land,
Someone’s foe.
An unmarked grave, fields of green,
Resting quiet,
Just eighteen.
Winds of freedom, wash us now,
Remember him,
This I vow
~ Victor C. Kleinschmit
Have a safe and Happy holiday!
God Bless America 🇺🇸

Memorial Day honors and mourns our brave men and women who gave ALL, in service to our country. The Memorial Day holiday is always on the last Monday of May and is considered the official start of the Summer season.
We always take a long weekend during this time to rest and reflect.
Please note that Carters Nursery will be CLOSED-
Friday the 28th thru Monday the 31st. in observance of Memorial Day. We will reopen Tuesday morning June 1st. and resume our normal schedule.
Thank You 🙏🏻 Have a wonderful holiday 🇺🇸
“By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world.
The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.
On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We set today a votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are gone.
Spirit, that made those heroes dare
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

I started out this morning headed to the post office to get some stamps… You know what happened 😊
In my rush to get started, I forgot what today is & Who it honors…
So, let me say –
‘Have a Great Martin Luther King, Jr. Day’!

I literally forgot about my blog today! 😳 Forgot much of my 4th of July “to-do” list… BUT – Good News! Long Weekend coming up!
The long awaited 4th of July Weekend! Are you ready?
Im gonna keep it simple!

- Charcoal ✅
- Meat to grill ✅
- Ice ✅

PS:
I want to take a minute and say how thankful I am to be an American! No other country on the face of the earth affords us the rights and privileges that we have as Americans.
Have a Safe & Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸
