We have a palm tree in our backyard that popped up on its own. You see them all over the Lowcountry. I love the tropical flair they bring to the yard. They start just as a tropical growth, palmy looking more like a plant. They grow quickly, provide shade and the most wonderful relaxing sounds when there is the slightest wind. #itmakestheyardanoasis

Charlie has a fascination with this palm. The palm, the monkey grass (liriope), the creepy crawlies that live within (sounds like the title of a book, “The Creepy Crawlies That Live Within”). He chases them, mostly the “lizzies”, the small green lizards with the bright red throat bubble that pops up now and then. They’re everywhere! He is such a Jack Russell…
