I'm trying...

to get some pictures of our big job to post on here. It has finally (fingers crossed) stopped raining. So now I came go walk around in the mud and take some pictures!!! 

BTW, I did get my other blog started. Go visit, comment, send me a message... whatever. Any suggestions are great. Let your friends know, too. 

Hopefully, tomorrow I will have a good post with lots of pictures. If not, I'll make something up.

Till then...

Spring Showers?...I wish

Wow! What the heck? Is it ever going to stop raining around here? It has rained for.....well, I don't even know. We've been out of town, we come back and all it does is rain! It could be worse, it could be about 20 degrees colder.....

We had a wonderful time on our vacation to Germany. We all stayed with Scott's sister's family. Kayla and I had never been to Europe, so it was really an experience for us. The first few days of the trip were spent in New York City. I love that place!!! We went to see The Lion King. Wow! If you've seen it, you know what I mean, and if you haven't seen it...well, you really need to. It was wonderful. I don't know what was better, the show itself or the sets and costumes. What creative minds came up with that show. 

I don't have time right now to post pictures, but you can see some here and here.

Not much nursery news right now. We have some jobs going, but this rain is really slowing things down. As soon as I can, I will get out and take some pictures. We will also start working on Spring stock soon. So I'll keep you guys informed on that. 

Also, leave me a comment and let me know where you are reading from. I've noticed quite a few hits from countries other than the US. Let me know how you found us and if there is anything special I can talk about. For the rest of you, let me know where you are from, too. If you are local, I'm going to put some coupons or special deals on here soon....hope to hear from you all very soon.

I am also going to be starting a new blog in the next day or two. Many of our friends and clients are small business owners, as we are. I want to talk a little about that and the importance of shopping local. It's something I feel very strongly about. Being in Europe really made me start thinking about it more. 

Until next time...

Christmas Morning

Merry Christmas everyone! As I sit here in the small window of calm of this morning, I am so thankful for all of the friends we have made over this past year. Thank you to everyone who has: become a new client, come back again as an old client, bought plants and herbs, stopped by to "just say hi", told others about us, visited the reindeer, read this blog...thanks to everyone. We look forward to what the new year brings, and hope you do, too.

We will officially be closed until January 6, 2009. We have a crew out working but the nursery will be closed. The family will be visiting relatives in Germany, so check back often as I will try to post pictures as the internet allows. If you need to get in contact with us you can send an email via the link to our website.

The Project Continues

I've told you that we are doing the hardscapes and landscaping for the Knoxville Symphony League Showhouse. This is such an exciting project for us. The house is truly a showpiece, and we are so honored to be involved. I wanted to show you some pictures of the progress. So here we go...

These are just a few pictures. I took these yesterday with my new Christmas present! Thank you Santa Scott!! It was SOOOOOOO cold yesterday, so I didn't get a whole lot of pictures, but I wanted to get at least some on here as soon as I could. The front is almost finished, and we are starting on the back. If you haven't been out to visit this neighborhood, you really need to get out there. Many of the lots are already sold, and lots of beautiful houses are going up. (If anyone out there is feeling like sharing, I would really love to have that Parade of Homes house. Just saying...you never know.) 

I hope everyone is having an incredible holiday season. We look forward to seeing all of our friends after the new year. We will be closed December 25th through the 6th. We are going to visit relatives in Germany, so I will post some pictures from that trip as well. I'm really excited to get some great ideas for hardscaping since the Europeans have such beautiful stonework. 

Merry Christmas!!! 

"Where I Come From"

That's what our trees were singing as they pulled in. Here are a few pictures of the home of the trees...

And we thought it was cold here!! Oh no no no. This picture was taken the day before Thanksgiving. That's cold. You can see in the background their hay bales and pumpkins. I'll stop complaining about the cold now. Yeah, probably not.

I'll leave you with a few more pictures of the snow. 

We still have some nice trees for those of you who are waiting until the last minute. Tell us you read the blog and we will give you 20% off your purchase.

I haven't forgotten...

We are still here! Just a little cRaZy right now. We want to thank everyone who has visited this season so far, whether online or in person. We are really staying busy. I want to get some pictures of this past weekend on the blog soon. Maybe I will get a chance tonight.

Stay dry and warm everyone!!! 

Trees, trees, trees. It's all I see.

Just a quick post 'cause we are buuuuuusy!!!!

Here's what's going on...

This was our largest tree. This big boy went FAST. 

The day the trees came in.

Well, that's all I have time for right now. Hope to see everyone this weekend for the reindeer!!!
