Not a bad view to have on a morning walk! I love the wild palms and the gorgeous live oak trees. Each has a personality all their own. The palms add to the tropical feeling of Charleston (and boy, does it ever feel tropical right now, like being in a sauna at times). But it is beautiful!

Live Oak Trees in Charleston, SC – they are so stunning to see. Streets lined with them as their branches reach across the road to come together as one. The Spanish moss swaying in the wind. The Resurrection fern that is brown and crunchy and then comes to life like the most beautiful green fern when we’ve had rain…

Do you live in an area with mosquitoes? I think a good many of us do and their population seems to be getting worse. If you want to avoid pesticides, mosquito spraying, chemicals, this is something to try – everything I read about it sounds like it really helps a lot. It may not be perfect, but after 30 years of trying pretty much everything – nothing is. The best part, it’s not harmful to you, your animals or birds, bees, etc. #happydance

Several of the different walking routes we take pass by marsh – beautiful, elegant, back-in-time views where time slows down, the birds fly freely and life is peaceful. It’s a joy to watch. Since we were out walking (for fitness) I couldn’t dilly dally too long, so a quick snap is all I could get. Enjoy!

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…

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!

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!

Fresh, tasty and exploding with flavor. This salad was the perfect combination of silky lettuce leaves (they’re gorgeous and so delicious), the crunch of the peanuts and crispy shallots that adorn the top – ooooh! Truly a delight for the senses. We just recently started going to this restaurant (we like the Mt. Pleasant location for the seating, but takeout is available closer to us). Where is this wonderful restaurant? The food is as tasty as it is beautiful!

Crazy temps this time of year. Nice. Warm. Warm & humid. Cool. Nippy. Windy & nippy all in the span of a week or two. How crazy. We cannot complain (I’m not, I love colder weather!) with a high in the low 50’s and a low in the low 30’s – will. not. complain. Just look at this photo. The bluest of skies, the starkness of the bare tree. Our azaleas are budding and that’s no lie! Temps will be near and at 70 in the coming week…

What a fabulous show! & JULIET is in Charleston through the weekend. If you love high energy performances, where you sit down and 2.5 hours FLY by before you realize it’s over, well then… THIS is the show for you! Part of the Best of Broadway series, this was out of this world fabulous. It was hilarious, and the music was spot on. Each performer knocked it out of the park. Most so young, with this level of talent, it was jaw dropping.

It’s nice to be out walking when the temps rose to the 70’s and the sun was shining so brightly. After a short time ago worrying about pipes freezing, listening to the drip, drip, drip of the faucet and wearing layers the past few days have been a nice change…
