Spring has sprung…

Charleston, SC Porch with Flowers

Don’t you love those regal looking palms? They command attention, especially on a breezy day – I love the sound they make.

Spring has definitely sprung here in Charleston. Window boxes, planters, beautiful flowers everywhere. What a joy! Get out and enjoy your day if you can! 🌸

Make Room for THE ROOM – Charleston, SC – Coming Soon!

This Spring Normandy Farms Bakery begins a new venture – This wonderful old building (a bank for the past 150 years) is taking on new life. The first floor will be a casual restaurant called THE ROOM. Mike Ray (owner of Normandy Farms Bakery) and Ben Johnson will take over the space and make it all their own.

We are so fortunate to live in Charleston, SC. The food scene is over the top amazing. This will be a great addition! More info from CharlestonEater.com!

Lavender House – Rainbow Row – Charleston, SC!

Pretty as a picture. Love this lavender on a home downtown (Rainbow Row). One thing you will see in Charleston, SC are colorful homes. Not all of them, but they do fit rather nicely in the tropical climate. The shadows on this home are stunning!

What do you eat when you have a cold?

The reason I’ve been posting photos is because I’ve been under the weather. 😷🤒Nothing drastic, just a horrible cold. This week I am feeling better, but playing catch up – so I will be back to normal posting next week! But… stay tuned, I have some great photos this week!

What do you tend to eat when you have a cold? I didn’t feel energetic enough to whip up a pot of homemade chicken noodle soup, so Fred stopped on his way home from work and picked up some Egg Drop Soup from Red Orchids Bistro (in Charleston, SC). It was delicious. It lasted two days. It was perfect!

What else have I been eating? At first not much, too much time sneezing and coughing, but I did eat an orange each day which was delicious! Toast… scrambled egg, a lot of green tea, regular tea and fruit popsicles.

Wondering what YOU eat? Do you make something or order out? The ingredients in canned chicken noodle soup gives me the willies, yet it tastes the best, sadly. Unless you’re going to make your own of course!

More art, recipes and house plans next week…

The French Huguenot Church – Charleston, SC!

Charleston, SC is full of beautiful, historical churches. Each stunning in their own way!

This is the French Huguenot Church – the architecture… STUNNING! What history this church has! It was originally built around 1687, it has been destroyed several times, fire, shellfire during the War Between the States and a severe earthquake in 1886. This building was completed in 1845 – read the full history HERE!

Even the less beautiful things in life are kind of interesting…

I believe that even the uglier things in life are interesting. When I saw this I thought about something (somewhere?) I read recently. A gallery didn’t want to accept paintings from an artist if they had power lines in them. They said that it dates the painting. Hmmm. Interesting. I think we’re long away from not seeing any power lines – and personally, I like to see when artists paint them in, I think it adds a nice touch – gives the painting character!

Azaleas Blooming – January.

The azaleas began blooming in January. Normally you will see a few azalea’s blooming at an off time, but our entire street is filled with blooming azaleas, and it’s stunning! I just don’t recall it happening so early!

Enjoy the beauty while you can!
