The Mimosa tree is such a beautiful tree, especially this time of year with blooms that are so stunning. The leaves of a Mimosa tree are fern-like and delicate looking. Overall, the tree is beautiful. Or so I thought…
…that is until I searched for information for this post. Turns out, pretty isn’t always good… Check out this article from Southern Living magazine!
I still think it’s a pretty tree, as long as it’s not in my yard 😉 – Catch you back here tomorrow!
Just look at this water! It looks so clear – and so chilly – as in teeth chattering, at least for someone who has lived in the heat of the South for the past 29 years. I grew up living on this river (in Michigan) – it was heavenly. We would jump in down the street and the current would bring us down the river (about 5mph if I remember correctly) where we would climb out, then walk back and do it all over again. Over and over and over… Continue reading “Time…”
I was whipping up a batch of Cowboy Caviar (If you haven’t tried it, ohmy! Give it a whirl, it’s good by itself, as a dip or added to other recipes – delicious!!) and had a large bunch of cilantro I didn’t want to go to waste. I had read what to do to be able to store it so that I could use it in more than one recipe. Continue reading “How To Store Fresh Cilantro!”
We feel fortunate to be able to witness such a sweet site right outside of our windows. A mama cardinal has nested in our bushes and she is vigilant in her duties. Such dedication. Amidst all that is going on in the world, this is a site that brings hope. Continue reading “Mama Cardinal – Nesting…”
I think all the blooming, scented plants in Charleston, SC are making a super comeback after the not-typical-for-us winter of ice and snow. It was a crazy (but fun) week, but many plants really took a beating. We were fortunate to only lose one gardenia!
Last year we planted a lot of liriope (aka Monkey Grass), hydrangeas, and Continue reading “Blooming Hydrangeas!”
Botany Bay – located in Edisto, SC is one of the most beautiful, unspoiled beaches that I’ve ever seen. From the moment you enter the Botany Bay Plantation Wildlife Management area you will be stunned by the beauty. Continue reading “Beach Sculpture by Mother Nature – Botany Bay (Edisto, SC)”
These wild palms pop up all on their own. They’re quite amazing – they grow quickly and provide wonderful shade not to mention the palm fronds are just beautiful – I love taking photos of them, especially with light shining from behind – look how it lights up the palm. Continue reading “Backyard Palms”
Today is Memorial Day, and many of us are outside enjoying our backyards – I wish I could pass along the scent of everything blooming right now. The lagustrums (against the back fence and bordering our yard), the Confederate Jasmine (to the left of the buoys) – Ohmygosh! Continue reading “Our Sanctuary!”
Yesterday I wrote about visiting places right near you… well this is another shot of Brittlebank Park, located very close to us. I was surprised by just how nice it is! The gorgeous dock extends into the Ashley River. The covered area is a dream, off to the right is a floating dock. That funny building you see on the horizon – that’s the “round Holiday Inn” a landmark for many. Continue reading “Pier at Brittlebank Park – Charleston, SC”
