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.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope you’ve spent the day doing something you love followed up with a nice dinner either out somewhere nice or tucked away at home. Thought you might enjoy this photo that I took while I was at…

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…

So many of you have experienced record snowfall in the past month or two – and more specifically this past weekend. There were varied amounts that fell throughout the area. We didn’t have a lot, but the road did look icy yesterday morning. I snapped this once it had been melting for a while. It was nice to wake up to fresh, beautiful snow. Especially knowing it won’t be there long…

It’s winter in the Lowcountry (and is actually going to feel like it this weekend with low temps dropping to the 20’s and the highs in the 30’s and 40’s). We have nothing to complain about compared to the rest of the country, that’s for sure! Walking in the sunshine feels so good, it can warm you right up, pop over to the shady side of the street and you’ll need a coat for sure!

Serena & Lily breathed life into an old space that sat vacant for quite some time. Located in downtown Charleston (on the peninsula) this is a space that is a delight to walk through. It helps so much to see their items in person. It’s difficult to judge the size, color, etc. online. If you aren’t familiar with Serena & Lily, check out their website. Design inspiration!

Charleston, South Carolina. Where history has been preserved for many of the older, grand homes on the peninsula of Charleston. I like to refer to this stunning example of architecture simply as “my house”. This is not my house, I’ve never even been in it, but I’ve admired it for the past many decades that I’ve lived in Charleston. It’s always kept up to perfection. The doors, stained. The exterior always freshly painted. Never even a smudge, just beauty everywhere you look.
