Happy Thanksgiving

Happy ThanksgivingHappy Thanksgiving.  Texas Associate Broker Debbie Murray of Allie Beth Allman & Associates wishes you and yours a very special Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving, celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States, has deep historical roots dating back to the early 17th century. The first widely recognized Thanksgiving occurred in 1621, when English Pilgrims at Plymouth Colony in present-day Massachusetts shared a feast with the Wampanoag people. This three-day event was a thanksgiving celebration for the Pilgrims’ successful harvest, and it included games, feasting, and the sharing of food like turkey, corn, and fish. While the exact nature of this gathering is debated, it is often considered a symbol of cooperation between the Pilgrims and Native Americans.

However, the concept of giving thanks for a bountiful harvest existed long before this event. Native American tribes, for example, held annual ceremonies to honor the Earth’s abundance. The Pilgrims, who were Puritans seeking religious freedom, had their own traditions of prayer and feasting as a way to give thanks to God for their survival in the New World.

In the years that followed, Thanksgiving became a more localized observance, with different colonies and communities celebrating harvests at different times. It wasn’t until 1863, during the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday. Lincoln aimed to unite the divided nation and give thanks for the Union’s victories. He proclaimed the last Thursday of November as a day of “Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.”

Since then, Thanksgiving has evolved into a holiday marked by family gatherings, feasts, and expressions of gratitude. Over time, it became associated with traditions like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, football games, and the start of the holiday season. While its history is layered and complex, Thanksgiving remains a time to reflect on gratitude, community, and abundance.

The History Of The Mint Julep

The History Of The Mint JulepThe History Of The Mint Julep.  The origins of the Mint Julep did not begin at Churchill Downs.  Although it is the official drink of the Kentucky Derby (since 1939), and horse racing in general.

The Gulab was a mixture of water and rose petals in the Middle East.  It was used as bathwater by nobility and for medicinal purposes.  This spread to the Mediterranean where the rose petals were replaced with bountiful mint leaves and the concoction was known as Julab.

In the 1800’s the drink reached America.  The high British taxes on rum and brandy after the Revolution caused Americans to substitute those spirits with our own bourbon.  The stablemasters would take a shot of whiskey as an “eye opener” in the morning and bourbon became popular around stables and race tracks.  Read more about the history of the Mint Julep here:  https://www.abcfws.com/a-guide-to-mint-juleps-for-derby-day

The 2024 Kentucky Derby is this Saturday, May 4th at 6 PM.

Preserving Hydrangea Color In Dallas TX

Preserving Hydrangea Color In Dallas TXPreserving Hydrangea Color In Dallas TX.

Hydrangeas are cherished for their vibrant blooms, and in Dallas, Texas, these gorgeous flowers can bring a burst of color to gardens. However, the climate in Dallas, characterized by hot summers and relatively mild winters, can sometimes lead to color changes in hydrangeas. Here are some tips to help keep your Dallas hydrangeas looking their best.

  1. Choose the Right Variety: Select hydrangea varieties that are better suited to the Dallas climate. While all hydrangeas may change color due to environmental factors, certain varieties, such as the Endless Summer series, are more likely to maintain their color in warm climates.
  2. Proper Soil pH: Soil acidity plays a significant role in hydrangea color. To maintain blue blooms, ensure the soil pH is acidic (around 5.5). For pink blooms, slightly alkaline soil (pH above 6.0) is preferable. Regularly test the soil pH and amend as necessary using products specifically designed for altering pH levels.
  3. Mulching: Apply a thick layer of organic mulch around the base of the hydrangeas to help regulate soil temperature and moisture levels. Mulch also helps to prevent rapid fluctuations in soil pH, which can influence flower color.
  4. Watering: Hydrangeas require consistent moisture, especially during hot Dallas summers. Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth and prevent stress-induced color changes. Avoid overhead watering, as this can lead to fungal issues and disrupt flower coloration.
  5. Shade and Protection: Provide afternoon shade to hydrangeas to shield them from the intense Texas sun, especially during the hottest parts of the day. Consider planting them near taller plants or structures to provide natural shade. Additionally, during unusually hot spells, consider using shade cloth or umbrellas to protect the plants from excessive heat.
  6. Pruning: Limit pruning to remove dead or damaged wood and shape the plant. Avoid heavy pruning, especially in late summer or fall, as this can remove flower buds for the following season.

By following these tips, you can help maintain the vibrant colors of your hydrangeas in Dallas, Texas, ensuring a stunning display of blooms throughout the growing season. With proper care, your hydrangeas will thrive and continue to delight for years to come.
