Look at these luscious morsels. Full of tart cherries (just like cherry pie). I was really wanting something cherry but didn’t want to make a pie (therefore eat a pie), so we made cherry turnovers.

I took an evening walk and guess who was in the tree having a big time. The squirrel. They’re everywhere and I know some people aren’t big on them because they can be destructive but to watch them, they always seem so happy. Jumping around, and from tree to tree it almost appears they can fly at times. See the tree branch the squirrel is on? Note the crunchy vegetation…

There is a gaping hole in my visit to Costco. My favorite section, the books, was dwindled down to nothing. I don’t believe the reasons were good enough to annihilate a section that had fans across the country. Every time I was looking at books there were many other people doing the same thing. My typical Costco run consisted of me running around picking up everything on my list and then heading to the book section to see if there was something appealing to pick up. What a treat – it would make my day. But…

Are you looking for a book that will grab you from the moment you pick it up? Where the suspense has you sitting on the edge of your seat wondering what could possibly be happening next? Well, this is the book for you! This is book 2 in the series, Book 1, The Last Thing He Told Me was equally as gripping. LOVED this! I just finished this book this morning, book review hot off the press…

I had a specific meal in mind but no recipe… A steak taco sounded so good to me, so I put together some flavors that compliment each other nicely and WOW, was it ever delicious! It was quick to make (I used stir fry beef). Here’s the recipe…

Good Friday, a day of reflection… I looked through my recent photos for one that fit the bill and this dogwood with the live oak and Spanish moss in the background was perfect! The photo was taken a few days ago with the sun starting to lower giving off the pretty, warm light.

What a stunning house plan this is! If you’re in the market for a house plan closing it at around 4,000 square feet, this could be for you. Traditional in style and full of light – I can’t wait for you to see the back of this house. It’s what caught my eye for sure. I would live on those porches all year long! The detail is exquisite (images via link below)…

You would never know this was a weekday, midday – cloudy, out running errands, we stopped by a local garden center and whoa!I just snapped a quick photo – I’m telling you stunning flowers and plants everywhere you look! This is one of the favorite locations that people head to when it’s time to start planting flowers. Plants & flowers make us all happy, don’t they? Where was I when I took this photo?

The azaleas are blooming in Charleston, SC and it’s quite a show. I LOVE this time of year – I mean the pink is exploding all up and down our street and it’s gorgeous. So thankful for the beauty. Soon the ligustrums will be in bloom and when they bloom the aroma is out of this world!

I didn’t have time to run to the store the other day and needed to make something for dinner. If it means not going out into traffic to shop at a busy time of day, believe me, I WILL find something in this house to make for dinner! This was SO GOOD, we had it two days in a row! It was quick, oh so delicious and it stuck with us. Asparagus is so good right now!

You know about these luscious little oranges. There are different varieties, some with thicker skins, some with seeds, some without, some slightly larger. Some contain more potassium, others contain more Vitamin C. They are an absolute treat. I have both the smaller clementines with the sweeter fruit, (smaller size and easy peel and bonus, no seeds!) as well as a bag of mandarin oranges similar to clementines, but a little larger, a little less sweet. Both are fabulous and make a great dessert when you’re being on your best behavior…

The first day of Spring is Friday! So I’m going to start the pretty flower photos a bit early. We live in the southeast region (Zone 9a with plants and flowers), so our flowers are going crazy with blooms and when ours are done, areas north of us are just blooming. This time of year is so beautiful, I love it!
