Thanksgiving is over… Black Friday is behind us! We started putting up our Thanksgiving decorations this morning and pulling old things out to get ready for Christmas. It really hit me like a ton of bricks 🧱 Christmas is less than 1 month away!
So it begins… Christmas is coming! 🎄
Have a great Holiday weekend!

Here we are, Fall is in Peak Color in TN! Frost has become the norm over the last few days and Tonight, we set our clocks back! 😳
Heres a little copy/paste from the interweb…
“When did Daylight Saving Time begin? Daylight Saving Time started on Sunday, March 14, 2021 and will end on Sunday, Nov. 7, 2021 — a run of 238 days. It has begin the second Sunday in March and lasts until the first Sunday in November since 2007.”
A few other interesting facts…
- Many still love the practice because of longer Spring and Summer evenings!
- They say it does make driving safer
- And some say it saves a small amount of energy? Thats debatable…
- But, it also causes some people problems…
- Many loose sleep and find the change unhealthy. Physically and Mentally (depression from shorter evening hours)…
But, no matter how we feel about it, DST ends tomorrow! Be ready or, be the only one at church ⛪️ 😊🙏🏻
Enjoy this last evening of 6pm sunsets 🌅! Tomorrow it will be Dark by 5pm…. 😬
Enjoy the weekend!

#Throwbackthursday is always a look back at something special. A great job, or accomplishment, a great moment or a great memory. Today is no different 😊❤️
Looking back is Awesome! Especially with memories like this 😊 The road forward is exciting as well ❤️
Have a great Throwback Thursday!

Spring is my favorite season for many reasons. It’s also my busiest season for many of the same reasons. Coming out of Winter, everyone emerges from their hibernation and blossoms 🌺 The phone starts ringing, and I’m out designing Waterfalls and Landscapes 6 and maybe even 7 days a week… And, I love ❤️ it!
But, right about mid May every year, I look up and realize that Spring is running away… Keeping the work/life balance is tough sometimes 😊 Even on a Sunday Morning.
IF you haven’t, get out there now and grab some Spring before we transition to Summer… It’s right around the corner 🌞
“By the time one is eighty, it is said, there is no longer a tug of war in the garden with the May flowers hauling like mad against the claims of the other months. All is at last in balance and all is serene. The gardener is usually dead, of course.”

After work yesterday, we got out on the water to see how the Fall color show was progressing. I Love ❤️ Fall 🍁 I am blessed to live in such a beautiful part of the world and I know it 😊 In a few shorts weeks we will be looking at Thanksgiving 🦃 And all the reds and oranges and golden color will be gone for the year… Get out and see it now because it won’t stay around long… Time flies by 💨
“Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.“
~ Robert Frost
Breakfast 🍳 is calling me…
Have a wonderful Sunday!

I found another great stash of pictures for #throwbackthursday! This one gets 3 very cool cats who are all grown up now… In one way it makes me feel old, in another it’s great to see the men they have all become.
Little baby Jacob, my nephew Nick & his his best buddy Brandon. I ❤️ #throwbackthursday
Have a great Throwback Thursday!

My son Jacob turns 18 today. 18 years in the blink of an eye 👁 Many of you know him personally & appreciate the man he has become. I’m about to fix his favorite breakfast and spend the day with my boy… I can still call him that, even though he is 6’ 3” and weighs about 220… 😎 I’m a Very proud papa!!!
A collage of pictures of our Birthday boy through the years. From the poster boy for the outdoor classroom movement to putting on butterfly programs, hanging out with his favorite performers & to the man he is today. What a great young man he has become ❤️
Happy Birthday Jacob! I Love you son!

The New Year is Coming! Fast! In fact this is the last Friday of 2019! Pretty crazy that it has gone by so quickly… But, it’s true that “time flies”!
2019 is on the way out! What does 2020 hold for YOU???
A good friend once told me the older you get the faster the time flies. It took me a while to understand that, but now I think I do. In a simple way, the older we get, the less time we have in our future… The demand is still there, but the supply is dwindling. So time becomes more and more valuable! That makes sense in my mind.
So along those lines, 2020 is coming fast & I want to make the very best I can of every moment! 😊
Im already working on my 2020 Events Calendar for Carters Nursery (I’m very excited for next year!).
What do you want in 2020? Do you set goals? Do you make “Resolutions”?
I don’t normally do New Years “Resolutions” but I’m considering a couple this year… IF I do, I will post them for all to see 😊 It may help my accountability to any resolution I make? We will see…
Good luck! & Heres to a GREAT 2020!
– See y’all next year!
