How does your garden grow?

We recently visited "HYAMS GARDEN AND ACCENT STORE" over by Folly Beach.

870 Folly Road, Charleston.
www.hyamsgardencenter.com
(843) 795-4570

Snapped quite a few pictures.......for my local readers.......this is surely a fun place to go check out! So many pretty things......my favorites were the huge displays of tinkling fountains! We have two at our house and I love them...they are so relaxing!

This is a big place..........we loved walking all the paths and admiring all the flowers and plants.

(above....fairy garden things)

(above, fun signs to buy!)

loved the colors of the flowers above! so tropical!

This is one of our favorite ways to spend an afternoon. Fun, interesting (we always learn something!), relaxing, so nice to look at all the pretty flowers and just take your time. Anyone else enjoy this?

We are having a heat wave here in Charleston....but strolling among the fountains somehow makes you feel much cooler!

Tonight's Micromoon--we watched it rise over the Battery tonight, it was red and orange

Skywatchers in Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones will get a view of the full moon tonight (Sept. 13) at 11:32 p.m., 10:32 p.m. and 9:32 p.m., respectively, while East Coasters will see the moon at its fullest at 12:32 a.m. on the 14th. Regardless of time zone, the moon will appear just a bit dimmer than usual (eerie!), because it will be at apogee, or its farthest distance from Earth. That means that the moon will appear about 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than when it is at its closest point to Earth, which is known as perigee. (Livescience.com)

LETS END KILLER WHALE CAPTIVITY!!

Please research the captive killer orcas that the SEAWORLD franchise holds captive. It is animal cruelty at it's worst. Those killer whales need to be FREE, NOT HELD CAPTIVE BY us humans and forced to do 'tricks' for our amusement. (and to make SEAWORLD a lot of money. ) Please go watch BLACKFISH when y'all have time okay? also read "Killer at Seaworld". You will learn so much and I doubt if you ever pay entrance fees to enter SEAWORLD or any of it's affiliate parks again.........because you will learn what the money really goes for........PROFIT. Their profit...........the poor whales gain nothing. But life captivity. Sad lonely lives in bathtub size enclosures where they cant even interact with their own pods and offspring normally. Many of them are so sick and die very painful deaths.The 'breeding' program is a joke. They are not even allowed to procreate in a natural and normal manner. The whales that were caught in the wild were taken from their pods and their mothers in a very cruel and inhumane fashion---it is heartbreaking. It's awful sad. Please research and then let me know what you think, okay? Whales are magnificent creatures, I love them. I tell everybody it's okay to love them and to want to go see them......but please go to areas where you can view them in the wild either from the beaches or cliffs or from boats. Not from cement swimming pools where they are mis-treated, gawked at, and forced to 'perform'. God created them and intended for them to exist in the seas! They really need to remain free........................
