Masters Week is Coming

Blooming azaleas are the groundhog of the Masters Golf Tournament. If they're blooming it means Masters Week is almost here.

If they are blooming, they will come.

In the South, especially around Augusta, Georgia and Aiken, South Carolina, we look to the buds to tell the golf season the way we look to the groundhog to tell the end of Winter.

It's been a mild winter and we've had a lot of rainy Spring days bringing out the best in our Dogwoods and Azaleas.


We get to enjoy this beauty all year round and we are proud that you all get to see it at it's best.

Loaves and Fishes

Presenting Bailey

Hi, my name is Bailey and I am a 4 month old mixed breed female puppy.

I am a friendly, cuddly, squishy and sometimes mischievously entertaining ball of fluff.

My people love me very much and I allow them to take care of all my needs.

Sunset on Silver Bluff

A view that never will be taken for granted.

Sunsets are beautiful.

The stars and the moon light the earth.

Meteors flash their showy colors.

The Desert Blooms

Even Sin City has green beauty. Not all is concrete and desert although this beautiful flower was blooming right next to the eight and ten lane boulevard known as The Strip in Las Vegas.

Tourism may be down and money may be tighter but the world keeps spinning, for now, and the seasons keep changing and God keeps feeding the birds, counting my hairs and dressing the flowers in greater splendor than a king.

Fire and Rain on My Green Earth

Autumnal fire meets cool rain and creates a really nice photo op. This season is transitioning right on schedule.

Oops! I Did It Again or All Things In Moderation

This unfortunate bee went head first into the fermenting scuppernong grape and was unable to retreat or either he passed out from drinking the scuppernong wine. Goes to show that even green, organics should be taken in moderation. Greed hurts everyone.
The other bee seems oblivious to the demise of his buddy and keeps searching for his own tap.

Growing Bronze Scuppernongs on Elle's Green Earth

These are the best scuppernongs I've eaten in a long time and they are mine and ripe for the picking.
One of the best things about growing fruit is the ability to go out the back door any time of day and have a snack fresh off of the vine.
Doesn't get more green or organic than that.
The benefits keep adding up for us too.
We get more fresh air and exercise and now with the experts saying the sun is our friend again maybe we'll get the Vitamin D they say we need after all.

Curiouser and Curiouser

Mushrooms are blooming and I'm not sure that's a good thing. I will be doing research to see if our yard is missing certain nutrients or has an imbalance causing the eruption of our Fungal Jungle.
