Who can’t resist the ubiquitous orange? Sure, they may be available everywhere all year long, but you know it’s true season is NOW! They are 100% tastier than they are other times of the year (although they’re still good then they are no comparison). And who can’t use a Vitamin C boost right now, right?

Heaven, right? Absolutely! We do not take for granted the ability to get the freshest seafood on the planet.. Crosby’s is a short distance from the house – it’s where we go to buy fresh seafood. Everyone there is so nice and helpful. But one of the biggest bonuses when we go to buy fresh shrimp is…

Like many of us, we’ve curtailed our dining out – which isn’t fun, especially since we just started back (2-3 restaurant visits) before numbers started ramping up again. Fred had a great idea, Crosby’s Seafood. We wanted to head that way to pick up some fresh shrimp to cook at home, so we went while the food truck was open. WOW! So fresh, they’re actively working on the dock and serving your seafood – it just doesn’t get fresher!

Well, we are having a warm winter for the most part. A few cold days (and a few wildly windy days that brought our neighbors trash into our yard, shingles from someones house in our backyard and about 471 lawn bags full of leaves in the pool skimmer. We didn’t lose power, so we’re thankful for that, but whew! This photo was clearly taken on a calm day…

I snapped this photo while on a morning walk yesterday. So serene, calming and beautiful. I didn’t have a post scheduled for today, so I spent my morning figuring the trajectory of this blog for 2022. Featuring artists, recipes and house plans are the main subjects…

Tis the season for lights and garland, wreaths and Christmas trees both live and faux. I love walking the neighborhood and seeing the wonderful decorations. So many lights – lots of work, no doubt, but wow, a part of me wishes we always had lights up. Happy and hopeful!

This photo was taken years ago. It’s one of my all time favorites. Rest assured this is my screensaver on my computer each and every year (as well as other devices). I love the blues in the sky, the magical Christmas tree made of lights that my dad created. I love absolutely everything about this!

I love a creative soul. I have no idea who carved this in the fresh concrete, but I do appreciate their magic. I saw this when we were out walking one morning – had to snap a photo. It makes me smile each time I walk past it.

Tis the Season…
Is there anything more wonderful than decorations during the holidays? I love seeing businesses decorated festively during Christmas (and any season/holiday) – We were recently at ESD, there were so many beautiful decorations everywhere, what a treat for the eyes! This is just a small snippet of decorations at Elizabeth Stuart Design (the aforementioned ESD) in Mt. Pleasant, SC.

The skies were so clear this day. The sun was brilliant and the trees seemed even taller for some reason. It’s so peaceful to take in nature, even if it’s just on a walk in the city. Take a deep breath, get out of the harried lifestyle. Time to reflect and be thankful.

This is our favorite room in the house. It always has been. I’ve written about it before – the perfect place to feel like you’re outdoors, yet cozily indoors. It’s where I love to spend time reading, or talking on the phone, or, or, or…

This has to be one of the coolest spots in town. We’ve seen wedding receptions here at night with the lights so beautiful and it’s absolutely amazing. Just look at the view – every window at the end and both sides show a dramatic and stunning view…
