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!

Isn’t this the most stunning spectacle of lavender you’ve ever seen? The colors so vibrant, the plant so healthy and it just keeps blooming and blooming. We have the pot in the sun and when the light hits it – whoa, it takes your breath away… and the scent! #IYKYK!

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…

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.

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?

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!

Would you like a night out on the town at a nice venue with good parking? Look no further. We just saw the MOST AMAZING show in Charleston, SC. Around April of 2025 we decided instead of buying gifts all year for each other for holidays we would buy season tickets to the Best of Broadway series. I’m so glad we did! The shows have been exceptional, and MJ the Musical was OVER. THE. TOP. good!!!

The weather is warming up in Charleston, SC – it was 80℉ today and high 70’s all week coming up. I know this has been a frigid winter for so many of you. This is just a reminder that along with the time change (unless you live in one of the few places that doesn’t participate) comes warmer weather – If you’re not seeing it yet, it’s on the way!

It’s been a cold harsh winter here in Charleston, SC 😉 – for us… BUT, absolutely nothing compared to other parts of the country – that’s for sure. A week here or there of brutally cold temps is nothing (and not even considered “brutally cold” elsewhere). Temps this week ranging from 70-80 degrees for the next ten days. SO, when is it safe to begin planting? It’s difficult to pass by wonderful nurseries and see GORGEOUS flowers and want to load up and get planting, right?

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…

If you aren’t familiar with the old Pitt Street bridge in Mount Pleasant – you might want to take a peek next time you’re in the area. It is the perfect use of an old bridge. A new bridge was built and some had the forethought to keep a portion of the old bridge so people could walk out, enjoy the stunning vistas, fish, walk their dogs, jog, visit, etc.

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…
