Have you ever woken someone up upon which they blurt out the strangest and funniest things?
Well it has happened to me on many occasions, however this one took the cake. When waking Mike for bedtime, he blurted out loud “I can sit in the window, I’m just as good as a reindeer!”. 😂 🦌
WHAT in the world was he dreaming about, Clarice watching Rudolf and his buck friends playing reindeer games? 😂
I don’t know and nor does he, but it was hysterical and worthy of documenting.
Brandi says from the kitchen, “Oh look the large alligator is across the lagoon on the bank”. 10-11 feet.
Birds from the yard. These are Killdeer, pretty much here year round nesting and eating along the lagoon bank. #birdwatching
“I am not born to sit still and do nothing. If I lose the game, it shall not be from not striving for it.” Jane Austen ✏️
Entirely relatable for this girl! That Jane Austen . . . she was one wise girl! ⭐️
Before and after not quite 4 years. Things certainly grow a lot here in Low Country…like year round!
“Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings” – Jane Austen
Jane Austen’s philosophy in this quote has great merit in todays society. We’re all busy in this noisy world, but busy with what? I’m reflecting on the busyness in my life and evaluating what is worthy of my time, and whether or not what I’m doing is making a difference in mine or someone else’s life. Wasted time on an abundance of frivolous busyness dampens the soul and deteriorates the quality of life and moral fiber of mankind. When I look at our society and the excessive destruction of morality occurring, I see too much gluttony in all areas of living, which is destroying our families.
How about you, how does your busyness look? Do you spend time on things that influence and change you and others in a manner that allows positive growth and thus effecting the moral fiber of your family and our society, or do you let each day blindly slip by, hoping the next day will be more fulfilling?

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!
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.
