This photo is a blast from the past, 2007 to be exact. Fred and I were on the cruise with my parents. It departed Charleston and went to George Town (Grand Cayman), Cozumel (Mexico) and Key West (Florida). I appear a bit apprehensive in this photo. This was before the ship left port. The cruise was in March, and the weather was beautiful here. We arrived in style…

“We’re Here For You, As Always” – was posted on a sign on one of the pillars in the parking garage where the COVID vaccines were being administered. I have to give Roper the highest of accolades when it comes to stepping up and getting people vaccinated (without even getting out of the car!), and doing so in a calm, extremely organized way. HIGH FIVE, Roper St. Francis Healthcare!

Wysteria, plentiful here in Charleston, SC. The aroma that drifts through the air is enticing. If you’re walking down the street it will stop you in your tracks and make you search for where the heaven scent (pun intended) is coming from! Wysteria is a vine (that you need to keep in check). Spring is when it shines in all its glory!

I was walking through our back room late in the afternoon. I saw the violets on a little table near the sun, happy as can be – I noticed the shadow of one of them against the wall. It was dark and vibrant. This photo was taken a few moments later. Much lighter, but I think it has more depth to it.

The other night we were out running an errand. The sky was phenomenal – everyone going about their lives, entwined in whatever life has brought their way. Some are busy, some carefree – some going to or coming home from work. Others are taking care of others, whether their children or parents. Life can be so busy. Whether it be their children, friends or relatives…

Molekule. *NOTE: this post has been updated to reflect my experience with it, I no longer recommend any Molekule product, even if it is sharp looking. If it truly worked it could be amazing.

Well! Winter went by quickly, don’t you think? We’ve had buds on trees and shrubs for a while now. It’s so beautiful to see. I like Spring, it’s a pretty time – the scents wafting from the various plants smell divine! It can be pollen filled, but still beautiful!

The sky was actually much more vivid than this. I took this photo inside looking out, it was late so there wasn’t much light on the window. I love the darkness around the window, but with the grids and the tree. This was a quick changing sunset, absolutely spectacular!

We have a palm tree in our backyard that popped up on its own. You see them all over the Lowcountry. I love the tropical flair they bring to the yard. They start just as a tropical growth, palmy looking more like a plant. They grow quickly, provide shade and the most wonderful relaxing sounds when there is the slightest wind. #itmakestheyardanoasis

Cool chicken coop. Cool chickens. A beautiful chicken walked by and I didn’t get to my phone in time. So no photo… This was on a morning walk. I love running across the unexpected. In Charleston you can EXPECT to run across the unexpected, usually in the most unique way possible.

This was an unexpected treat, I love it, but now…

We’ve had some challenges the past few years. COVID reared its ugly head, the weather that has been so bizarre, wild fires, mud slides, freezing and no power in many areas in the north and the south, hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, the list goes on, and on! But… all that said, there IS hope!

Sunrise or sunset? I love them both equally. If you owned a home where you could see a stunning view of either, which would you prefer? Sunrise or sunset? I think I would pick sunset, because then I would never miss it! We are up early, but there is always the chance you could miss it…

Looking for a tasty treat? Something that is healthy and full of everything good in the world? LOOK NO FURTHER, you’ve found it with a Sumo orange. They’re a beautiful color, peel easily (although I slice, we eat and the orange comes right off the peel). #heaven
