Before and after not quite 4 years. Things certainly grow a lot here in Low Country…like year round!

South Carolina and Convention of States
While DeSantis is rightfully getting a lot of constitutional conservative recognition, South Carolina’s governor Henry McMaster’s mission is on the right course too, not to lose a country. Please support your state and our country before you don’t recognize it!
Crepe Myrtle Forest – Bonsai
About a year and half ago I took the seed pods from our front landscape fuchsia crepe myrtle and stuck them in a brown bag. The following early spring (which is the end of February in Bluffton SC) I put a few of the million seeds I had in little seed pots. Well, last year they grew and I got about Ian 80% success rate and now have about a dozen of them about 10 inches tall. Some made it back into the landscaping and a half dozen made it into this new creation of a Crepe Myrtle Bonsai Forest. During the seedling process I got a lot of moss collected in the containers and that I used in this display as grass. Next year the forest will be ready for a shaping, but it looks great today. It came out pretty good as my 5th bonsai, with today adding 2 others to my collection, all from seed or saplings.

Alabama Plays in Savannah Georgia 2021 – Melody Mix
Melody video mix of Alabama songs – Tennessee River, The Closer You Get, Dixieland Delight, and If You’re Gonna Play in Texas. Alabama is the band that I worn out a few cassette tapes in my teenage years, and yes I do still have their first 5 LP’s and more, and one duplicate still with the plastic wrap on it. And yes, all the LP’s have the original southern, confederate, rebel flags on them (insert eye roll). This concert had special meaning to us because while I have seen them numerous times in the 80’s, however Brandi has never seen them. We actually had tickets for the last 5 years and for some reason or another it got cancelled or postponed. The tickets we used to finally see them this time in 2021 in our favorite city of Savannah had a purchase date of 2018! Well worth the wait, enjoy our experience.
Christmas in Dixie – Alabama – Savannah, Georgia – 2021
We waited 5 years to see Alabama between their various cancellations and postponements. We hoped that seeing them now in December we could be treated to this special song, live. What a memorable treat to catch!
From across the arena another audience member captured “Angels Among Us”
First it was the 6 Foot Police
Then it was the mask police.
Now it is the vaccine police.
I thought everyone was for defunding the police?

See Something, Say Something
This is what I saw today.
4 of them standing a good distance apart, all looking ready to go into surgery. Not one of them talking to one another. Heads buried deep into $600 phones getting last minute updates of their vigorous day ahead.
They weren’t doctors, it was our nations kids being indoctrinated waiting for a school bus.
Is there any wonder why our country is the way it is?
This is sad.
