Happy Winter Solstice and a Merry Christmas Posted by Rob N TN on December 22, 2024, 7:50 pm Back in Tennessee just in time for Christmas. Hope everyone has been good this year I apologize being late in sending out cards and surprises and I'm afraid not before Christmas, but I will (they will never make it in time). There was a death in my family and I was able to make the services today. Saw some nice tropical landscapes in Alabama and Florida and some sweet Christmas photo cards. Thank you so much. I love them. Just wanted to check in and AJ has some nice videos up, over @ you tube TN Tropics as does Kevin @Palmguy24 Merry Christmas

Re: Happy Winter Solstice and a Merry Christmas Posted by Ken on December 23, 2024, 3:25 am, in reply to "Happy Winter Solstice and a Merry Christmas" Merry Christmas to you and yours Rob! This is the time of year I think about my 36 year stint in TN.

Re: Happy Winter Solstice and a Merry Christmas Posted by Fred SC on December 23, 2024, 6:05 am, in reply to "Happy Winter Solstice and a Merry Christmas" Rob, espero que tenges el mejor navidad posible y durante el ano nuevo tienes mucho prosperidad y felicidad. Christo vives! Sorry about the death in the family, always. Glad you had a good Florida’s trip. Did you buy any plants, lol. I know the weather was nice my stepdaughter is in West Palm with temps in the 80s. They had to drive plane twice snd plow runway before leaving Minneapolis.

Re: Happy Winter Solstice and a Merry Christmas Posted by Rob N TN on December 23, 2024, 10:05 am, in reply to "Re: Happy Winter Solstice and a Merry Christmas" Fred, I can only wish the same for you, Dorothy and the kids and the best of health, peace and prosperity in your life. Dios vive debemos estar preparados. My grandfathers youngest first-cousin, died suddenly of cancer. He was 95 and his wife had passed many years ago. He was such a joy to talk to. He took great pride in being a member of Tennessee's Century Farm Owners. He belonged to the 100 year family ownership program. His survivors were only nieces and a nephew and they always gave him purpose. A christian life well lived. Thanks friend. The weather was amazing and about 80* everyday. They had some cooler weather prior and I'm sure they will see it again. Early January may not let anyone escape the weather on the way but until then its 50s/60s here and lows in 40s/50s. I'll take it. Glad to hear your stepdaughter made it to West Palm and left that snow behind. They had been missing out on the snow up there in what seems, several years. Lots of snow coming for the northern tier soon. I brought back a couple of camellias and a nice 3g windmill and before I left saw where I could get some 5g palmettos for cheap but I had to leave earlier than planned. Rob in Bristol, if you see this, hopefully next time. Sorry. The larger Sabal Palmettos were so pricey. What was once a $50 deal are now selling for $400 minimum. Inflation has hit the palm trade. Its time to plan on spring just the same, No more quarterly NWS forecast graphics, they are never correct. Ill be going on my own forecasts. Looking for crocus and snow drops, birds and butterflies, the peepers and budding branches. Gracias Fred.

Re: Happy Winter Solstice and a Merry Christmas Posted by Rob N TN on December 23, 2024, 10:21 am, in reply to "Re: Happy Winter Solstice and a Merry Christmas" Hi Ken, have been thinking of you lately. Hoping you might drop in and say hello. Well Florida never disappoints and it felt great being down there for a visit. I hope your son and family are doing well and you above all. While its true, the little New England boy spent many of his best years in Tennessee, I'm glad there is more to enjoy further south. Since covid, practically all the little towns and counties have grown. Cookeville is getting quite large and a new HD will open soon, hahahaha I know, but thats a big thing for us. hahaha. Just need a Costco. hahaha. Ken hope your staying busy in the gardens and enjoying the good life. MERRY CHRISTMAS KEN and to all your family.
