If you have never been to Nashville, or taken in a great Opry show, now is one of the best times ever. Diamond Rio is coming to the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee. In case you do not know, there have not been very many groups inducted into the Opry cast in the last decade or so. Diamond Rio first came to the Opry in October of 1991 and in 1998 were awarded induction into the honorable Opry house. Their group was the first in fourteen years to receive such a place of celebrity and fame at the Opry. Nothing but the best is allowed in this famous city hall, so when you come for an Opry show, you will experience the spirit of Nashville, TN and some of the best talent on the globe!

Diamond Rio’s six man band has air light vocal harmonies and intricate instrumentation that has helped define the standards of ‘young country music’ in their debut album in 1991. Once called the Tennessee River Boys, Diamond Rio performed at the former Opryland theme park.

In 2004, Diamond Rio received the Minnie Pearl Humanitarian Award for its work on behalf of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, for which the band members serve as National Ambassadors, as well as the American Lung Association, and others.

If you are on the look for a night to remember, while enjoying top-country music, then come on down to the Opry. Friday Night August 12, 2011 at 7:00 is when the show will begin!

It gets hot during Middle TN summers!  Lose your Nashville TN home’s high maintenance lawn and instead go with an earth friendly water conserving garden.  Imagine being lawn free this summer……See how some homeowners are ditching their grass for low water landscapes and still maintaining “green” beautiful curb appeal.

Lose the Lawn: Inspiring Gardens

by Sunset

Front-yard meadow

Two great ideas from this garden;

Grassy screen: grass screens the sitting area from the street and “Character” plants.

Easy-care front yard

Flagstone paths curve through a low-water front yard. A low berm of soil on either side of the walk adds interest, and weed cloth topped with permeable pea gravel allows excess water to soak into the earth rather than run off into the street.

Click here for more lessons from this front yard.

Low Water Curb Appeal

Add mostly low-water plants that give the yard all-season appeal.

Lush Garden, Light Touch

Instead of expanding their 1,250-square-foot home Gabe Gelbart and landscape designer Paul Rhoadzhagen decided to keep the house compact and let the garden shine, providing plenty of outdoor living nooks, colorful plantings that require little water, and lessons on incorporating environmentally sound materials and practices into the landscape.

Lawn Free Tapestry
