We had a great turnout and a great time at Rice Creek’s first annual neighborhood picnic! There was a moonwalk and slide for the kids, face painting and lots of games, including a three-legged race, egg toss and cake walk.
Spring is here, and who doesn’t want to be outside enjoying this beautiful weather? This low-maintenance Maze Wall Hanging garden was featured on CB2’s catalog cover this month, and I just love it! You don’t have to add the plants, but what a fun idea! Buy your Maze Wall Art here, and check out the easy step-by-step instructions to create your vertical garden here.
Hopefully I’ll get around to making one of these myself this summer, and I’ll post pics when I do! Enjoy!

An estimated 5,000 spectators lined Coligny Beach in Hilton Head last weekend to watch the Marsh Tacky horses and their riders sprint to the finish line.
This breed, although an important thread in the tapestry of Lowcountry history, is considered critically endangered, with less than 250 purebred horses left in existence. That’s where the races come in. The Carolina Marsh Tacky Association held its first "Marsh Tacky Beach Run" in 2009 to promote awareness for this historic breed, which was virtually unknown to the public.
Marsh Tacky History
Marsh Tackys evolved from horses originally brought to the coasts of Georgia and South Carolina by Spanish settlers more than 500 years ago. Escapees (and those who were abandoned) from the Spanish herds began to assemble and roam the coastal lowlands and marshes, the strongest of these eventually forming thriving wild herds. As time went on, locals began to capture and use these horses that had become so well-adapted to their environment, and by the time of the American Revolution, Marsh Tackys were the most common horse in the region, well-suited to the swampy terrain of the South Carolina lowcountry.
American Revolutionary War hero Francis Marion, known as "The Swamp Fox," and his small band of local volunteers drove back British troops through a series of small surprise attacks where they freed American prisoners, sabotaged communication and supply lines and captured British soldiers. After each attack, Marion’s ragtag band would "vanish" into the swamps, virtually unscathed. The Marsh Tackys were the key to their ability to vanish, as they were at home in the swamps, and the larger European breeds the British rode were apt to panic in the swampy terrain. Marion is considered to be one of the fathers of American guerilla warfare. Side note: Mel Gibson’s character in the movie "The Patriot" is based on the real-life Francis Marion.
Today the majority of Marsh Tackys are owned by old southern hunting families who have had these horses in their families for generations, but that may change as more and more people learn about them and their fascinating history. A bill has been introduced in the South Carolina State Senate to name the Marsh Tacky the State Heritage Horse of South Carolina. Read more about Marsh Tackys here.
