- Hey, y'all.
0:02
Eddie and I was saying yesterday or day
0:04
before yesterday that we hadn't done a tour
0:07
of the yard in a while.
0:10
So we decided now was a perfect time to do it.
0:16
- [Eddie] Well, the summer was so hot, nothing was growing.
0:19
- Oh God, it was so hot.
0:20
- [Eddie] Every time I planted something,
0:21
it would shrivel up.
0:22
- I know, and Eddie works so hard
0:25
to keep this yard just gorgeous and he does a great job.
0:30
Now we have somebody that comes in and cuts our grass
0:33
and trims and edges and all that.
0:36
But when you see the flowers, that's Eddie's green thumb
0:40
versus my black thumb.
0:42
(Paula laughing)
0:45
The only thing I found I couldn't kill, Eddie,
0:47
was mother-in-law's tongue.
0:49
And I love those, I love those plants.
0:52
But you want to come up here on the porch
0:54
and let them see the Halloween decorations?
0:57
It's not overdone this year.
1:00
It's just a little touch and I love it.
1:02
- [Eddie] Well, we just have the Mr. Skeleton
1:05
sitting on the porch.
1:07
We just finished up.
1:09
- Down there, did you show them down there?
1:11
- [Eddie] A Halloween party.
1:13
- [Paula] All it is is one pumpkin, right?
1:16
- [Eddie] Yeah.
1:20
But we just finished up
1:21
having the bag lady private Halloween dinner that you had.
1:26
- Yes, yes.
1:27
- [Eddie] So we had to dress up.
1:28
- Friday and Saturday night, we opened up the house
1:30
to 10 guests because that is so doable.
1:36
And we just had a great time.
1:39
So the yard looks maybe extra good for right now.
1:43
So where you want to take them, Eddie?
1:46
- [Eddie] Well, let's just start right here.
1:47
- [Paula] Okay.
1:48
- [Eddie] We'll walk that way.
1:49
- [Paula] Okay.
1:51
- [Eddie] So it's been an overcast day.
1:53
- It has.
1:54
- [Eddie] All day long and it feels like fall.
1:56
- I know it. - [Eddie] The air is cold.
1:58
- Yes, and yesterday we talked about filming
2:02
and the lighting was just like perfect yesterday.
2:06
You know, we had sun, but the weather here
2:11
is slap cadab perfect, y'all.
2:14
And y'all hadn't seen Max and Gus in a while.
2:18
You know, they're like the rest of us.
2:19
They're starting to get old.
2:21
(Paula laughing)
2:22
You getting old, aren't you buddy?
2:27
But you live the life.
2:30
They live a great life.
2:33
I love all these elephant ears, Eddie,
2:36
and it's hard to believe that they'll.
2:38
- [Eddie] Yeah, a couple more cold nights
2:40
and they're gonna shrivel up.
2:42
- They'll shrivel up.
2:45
But the impatiens are still doing good.
2:52
And the pansies.
2:55
Eddie just planted a few pansies
2:57
because they like the cold weather, don't they?
3:00
- [Eddie] Yes, yep.
3:02
- And the ferns, they'll be bit hard.
3:09
But they have been beautiful this summer and fall.
3:13
You boys want to go in the backyard?
3:15
Come on.
3:17
Look at all these ferns.
3:18
They are just so pretty, Eddie.
3:20
- [Eddie] Yeah, every morning a little more yellow.
3:23
- Yes. - [Eddie] Creeps in.
3:24
- [Paula] And you never fertilize them, do you?
3:27
- [Eddie] Yeah, I do. - [Paula] You do?
3:30
(gravel crunching)
3:33
- [Eddie] That is one thing that did
3:36
all right in the summer heat.
3:38
The ferns usually always hold out.
3:43
- Yeah, they do well.
3:44
I mean, so beautiful.
3:47
So, so beautiful.
3:51
Well, come on into the back garden.
3:54
Where did Lulu go?
3:55
- [Eddie] She's right here.
3:56
- She went to see the chickens I bet.
3:57
- [Eddie] She's right here.
3:59
She's coming.
4:00
- And let's see, is the plant still alive
4:03
that was my brother's?
4:05
Yeah, this one was on Bubba's porch
4:10
and it's still hanging in there, isn't it Eddie?
4:16
- [Eddie] It is.
4:17
Last year I thought the winter was gonna get it,
4:20
but it's still good.
4:21
- I though it was too, but it seems like
4:22
there was another one over here that.
4:24
- [Eddie] Yeah.
4:25
- The cold may have gotten it.
4:28
But I love looking at that because it was my brother's.
4:32
(gravel crunching)
4:36
And I love these ferns right here, Eddie.
4:38
I don't know exactly what kind they are,
4:41
but we've planted these quite a few years back
4:44
and they remind me of the wild ferns that you see
4:48
like if you're in a woody area.
4:50
- [Eddie] In the woods, yeah.
4:53
- I love those.
4:56
And gosh, that palm tree has grown so.
5:01
The trunk is big on it.
5:04
(gravel crunching)
5:09
And of course little Pumpkin,
5:12
my little kitty cat's headstone.
5:18
It's been covered up almost by pine straw now.
5:26
Our beloved Pumpkin.
5:31
And this is a shell, a clam shell.
5:36
And that's what we put Friday and Saturday night.
5:39
We did low country balls and we put them in that clam shell
5:43
and it was so beautiful.
5:44
I don't think we got a picture of it, did we, Eddie?
5:46
- [Eddie] Yeah, yeah. - We did?
5:49
Good.
5:51
What you doing, Gus?
5:54
You all right buddy?
5:55
He's like his mama, he's got hip problems.
5:59
Don't we buddy?
6:00
And I love tractor seat plants,
6:05
but they don't like the bright sun, do they?
6:07
- [Eddie] The hot sun, bright, yeah.
6:09
They like indirect. - [Paula] They don't like it.
6:13
And all the mums.
6:17
The mums are so pretty for a while,
6:20
but you can't plant those in the ground, Eddie,
6:23
would they not do?
6:24
- [Eddie] Down here, no, they don't.
6:26
They kind of shrivel up the heat.
6:28
- [Paula] Why, does it get too hot?
6:30
- [Eddie] I think it's too hot, yeah.
6:33
- [Paula] Oh my goodness, you pretty boy.
6:37
You pretty boy.
6:41
Did I just see something flying by?
6:45
- [Eddie] The tide is so low right now.
6:46
- I know it is.
6:47
- [Eddie] This morning it was up in the yard.
6:49
- [Paula] With the full moon, the moon just pulls,
6:54
pulls that water up here.
6:57
- [Eddie] You see where Lulu is?
6:59
I mean, the water was that far up.
7:01
- Yeah, yeah.
7:05
Lulu loves to eat her some grass.
7:10
- [Eddie] But that is it.
7:13
- Well, let's go around to the little fish pond.
7:22
Now these roses.
7:23
- [Boater] Paula!
7:24
- Hey, hey.
7:27
How are ya?
7:29
(both chuckling)
7:32
Somebody hollered, Paula.
7:38
Michael and I come out here sometimes
7:40
and we just get to visit with the people
7:43
coming back and forth in the creek.
7:47
Why doesn't that white rose?
7:50
It doesn't.
7:51
Oh, I knew I saw a white bird, there it goes.
7:55
And we should see some dolphins.
8:02
This time of day they.
8:03
- [Eddie] It's kind of low.
8:06
- [Boater] Hey Paula!
8:07
- [Paula] Hey, hey.
8:09
How are y'all?
8:12
(both laughing)
8:13
They look.
8:16
That looks like a wonderful cruise.
8:22
(Paula chuckling)
8:24
- [Boater] Big fan of your cooking.
8:25
- Thank you so much, I'm a big fan of my eaters.
8:30
(Paula laughing)
8:33
Y'all, one time we enclosed this room right here.
8:37
It was an outside porch right there
8:40
where the double window is.
8:45
- [Eddie] Where the chimney is, yeah.
8:46
- And we had a hot tub.
8:49
I never got in it.
8:51
Never got in that hot tub, but about twice.
8:54
And one time I got in naked and I said, we had slats.
8:59
I said, nobody can see me.
9:01
And the next thing I knew,
9:02
Carrie said, some of our friends came by
9:04
and saw you out there naked.
9:06
I said, no, they didn't.
9:08
She said, oh yeah.
9:09
(Paula laughing)
9:10
So that ended my hot tub thing.
9:18
And look at our pine cone.
9:25
- [Eddie] Gingers.
9:26
- [Paula] Yes.
9:27
And they're about gone too.
9:31
But look how beautiful.
9:37
Can you see those down in there, Eddie?
9:39
- [Eddie] Yes.
9:42
I didn't cut any this year.
9:44
- And y'all, there's a lanolin in them
9:47
that feels so good on your skin.
9:54
Oh, my sweet friend that sent these to me in the mail.
9:58
- [Eddie] Mrs. Childress.
9:59
- Yes, she sent them in the mail to us
10:02
and Eddie planted them and they have thrived.
10:07
Seems like they bloomed early though this year.
10:16
The triplets love climbing this tree right here.
10:19
- [Eddie] Yeah, that tree gets lower and lower.
10:22
- I know it.
10:22
- [Eddie] To the ground. - I know it.
10:23
- [Eddie] Every year.
10:24
- I know it, but it's one
10:25
of my favorite trees here in the yard.
10:31
(water splashing)
10:34
And Eddie swears there's fish.
10:36
I know I bought some fish.
10:38
- [Eddie] There they are right there.
10:39
- [Paula] Where?
10:40
- [Eddie] They're swimming around.
10:41
(water splashing)
10:42
- [Paula] Well, Eddie, I don't see.
10:44
Oh, oh, oh, I see a white one and a gold one.
10:48
- [Eddie] The koi.
10:49
The koi have gotten very big.
10:50
- Yeah, oh, there's another gold one.
10:53
(water splashing)
10:55
You know, it's funny.
10:56
(water splashing)
11:02
I keep pulling these lily pads down here
11:05
and they keep disappearing on me.
11:07
(water splashing)
11:12
I just think they're so pretty floating around down there.
11:16
That koi's getting big, the white one.
11:19
(water splashing)
11:23
So you have to be careful.
11:25
(water splashing)
11:28
When you have fish down here because we have a lot of birds
11:33
and a lot of raccoons.
11:34
But we have been really fortunate they hadn't found it
11:38
back here because it's kind of a secret like.
11:43
You all right, my buddy?
11:46
Is your hips hurting you.
11:49
(water splashing)
11:54
All right, I just love this part of the yard.
11:58
(water splashing)
12:02
When Bubba got married,
12:05
we had his wedding here when he married Dawn,
12:08
just got married and we filled this up with ice
12:12
and had it full of all oyster.
12:16
It was beautiful.
12:17
(water splashing)
12:24
Y'all want to go see what the chickens are doing?
12:28
Let's go see what the chickens are doing.
12:30
(gate squeaking)
12:36
Y'all come on.
12:38
(Paula clucking)
12:44
- [Eddie] They're getting ready for bed.
12:46
- Oh yeah, they're getting ready to settle in for the night.
12:52
You want to walk back here?
12:55
Let's walk back here by the pool.
12:59
And Michael's garages, they're so pretty.
13:07
Oh, look, look over here, the color right here.
13:11
This is like one of my favorite colors.
13:16
Now the pool area, you can tell that summer's over.
13:24
But it's still pretty to me out here.
13:30
(Eddie whistling) - [Eddie] Come here, Max.
13:32
- Max.
13:33
Max can sometimes find a little place to get out.
13:42
Max?
13:44
Look how pretty everything is.
13:47
Even though summer is over.
13:51
(water splashing)
13:54
It's still beautiful to me.
13:57
(water splashing)
13:59
And all these magnolia trees, Eddie,
14:01
we planted when we built the house
14:06
and the person that helped me in the yard,
14:10
he came and just butchered them.
14:15
So they'd be like a oak tree or something like that.
14:19
And I said, no, no, no, no, no.
14:24
So they're finally starting to come out.
14:26
I love them when they come to the ground
14:30
because that's a lot of my Christmas decorations.
14:35
I'll cut the magnolia leaves.
14:38
- [Eddie] That's where he works his way out
14:40
over in this back corner.
14:41
- I know, there's a place over there in that corner
14:44
and the last guy that worked here in the yard, I said,
14:48
please go out there and find that hole that he's getting out
14:53
because he will wind up down the road.
14:59
Where Gus and Lulu,
15:02
they know who takes care of them and feeds them
15:05
and they ain't straying.
15:09
Well, I hope y'all enjoyed the little tour.
15:14
And how about if we do it again like Christmas
15:18
when we got the Christmas decorations up?
