Snow man and beast…
Ah! The Charleston, SC snow that fell earlier this week was amazing. This weekend I’m sharing a few shots. There are so many (ok, too many) – it’s rare, so I had to document, ha ha… Fred and Charlie out and about – Charlie loved the snow – tried to eat a good deal of it. He was wild!
I have to say…
Snow Days – Charleston, SC
This may look like a regular snow day to most of you well-seasoned-in-snowy-weather peeps. But here in tropical, sunny Charleston, SC this was a rarity. A very welcomed one! I’ve never seen so many people outside enjoying themselves. You have to admit, it’s really cool as a kid, but as an adult, it’s JUST as much fun. We had about 5″ of wonderful snow – some areas around here received almost 8! As I write this…
goals & gratitude
This post may look familiar to some of you who are on my mailing list. This is the one time I hope no one opened their email, ha ha. I write my posts ahead of time and schedule them to publish (appear online). Well, since this was scheduled for 01/02/18 – I had forgotten to change the year from 2017 to 2018 (this happened in December) – so it published it immediately. I heard *ding* and saw my email.
Ruh. Roh. So please forgive me, won’t be the last time this year I bet 🙄 – Happy Day to you – barbara
Ahhh, it’s that time of year – to set goals – might as well get in on the fun, and join the masses that have goals to eat healthier, exercise more, learn to cook or maybe a new language, read more books the list goes on and on…
Some of my favorites:
👍Learn to say “No” sometimes – it’s OK. You can’t be everywhere at the same time and it’s hard when you’re stretched thin with work, home, life to try to fit in one more thing. Sometimes it’s barely possible. It’s OK to say no (thank you for teaching me this, Mom!).
Happy New Year – Today begins year 8!
While at the computer with Charlie in the chair (with his feet dug into my back), I began this blog. I’ve been at it, and have had a daily post appear since 1/1/2011. Continue reading “Happy New Year – Today begins year 8!”

Twinkle – Twinkle!
My dad sent me this photo that he took years ago (2013), I love it – so pretty with the lights in the tree. Fresh snow and that fabulous blue sky.
December Sky – Michigan Sunrise
I’m all about a dramatic sky. And… this is dramatic. What a gorgeous sunrise this was! This is a throwback photo – from the archives. One New Year’s resolution for me might be to clean up the way-too-many-photos that I cannot seem to delete.
I hope you will be enjoying a stunning sunrise (or sunset) soon!

Christmas Cactus – always a good gift!
I have a Christmas Cactus that I’ve had for so many years now. It faithfully blooms every Thanksgiving – I love this plant. If you know someone who doesn’t have one, that’s always a nice little gift. They don’t take much work. I water mine once a week. Transplant it when it’s bulging out of the pot. I wipe the leaves down on occasion – they can get dusty. Maybe a few times a year.
This photo was from when it first started to bloom, which is always exciting to see! This plant will reward you with numerous beautiful blooms every single year!
Merry Christmas Eve, eve…

Charleston Sky and the Round Holiday Inn
This shot was taken in Charleston, SC heading towards the Ashley River Bridge to downtown Charleston (about a mile away). On the left is the round Holiday Inn – a landmark for many. I thought the sky was so interesting and the light at this time of morning was pretty cool too.
Whatever ventures you have in store today (Christmas shopping? Groceries for a big get together, Christmas parties, office parties, etc.) – Be safe out there!

No mountains in Charleston…
A quick snap of my phone the other day. The sun, some dark clouds, and blue sky. Quite the mix. It was as if nature didn’t know if it should be summer/winter – dry or rain! I love that dark cloud line that looks like low mountains on the horizon – no mountains here, just a swath of dark clouds!
I love weather and appreciate whatever it is outside (well, I may whine if it’s hot and humid – hee).
Enjoy your Saturday!

Watching Intently
Charlie watching intently out of the back window while perched in a chair. Not a muscle moves. Not even one of the many hairs on his body. He’s watching for any movement, squirrels and birds mostly.
Dogs love to be at the same level we are. He will hop up in a chair and sit back like you or I would. It’s crazy to see and makes me laugh every single time. I think it started when he was a puppy. The only way he would stay calm is to get in my desk chair (with me in it), he would sit up, back against the chair- paws in front and digging into my back. Once he got situated he would fall asleep, which also meant if I wanted a moment of piece I wouldn’t move a muscle. It’s how this blog was born. On 1/1/11 I decided I may as well do something productive, so why not figure out how to create a blog, the writing part was easy, the figuring out took a bit.
It’s been a great adventure. I can’t believe next month begins year EIGHT of a daily blog, which, I have to be honest, at times I have considered stopping just because of the enormous amount of time I spend on it. Even though my posts are rather fluffy and most don’t have a lot of research to be done (house plans and artists are different, those do take time), they still take a lot of time.
I hope you are enjoying this blog. I have received so many wonderful emails throughout the years – it’s what keeps me going. As a friend mentioned… it’s time to monetize – But how? Sounds like I have some research to do! Better get busy!
Thank you for taking the time to read this blog!
Oh! The light!
We have many old, large, live oak trees where we live – each one is so breathtaking. Their canopy is very large and this time of year when the light hits it’s just stunning!
Some trees have more Spanish moss than others. That’s a pretty sight, especially with the sun filtering through, very dramatic. These trees are like sculptures – stately. This time of year the light seems warmer and lights up the trees differently. Remember, it’s the little things in life!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
Where is this??
Where is this? Do you know? It’s a familiar landmark to many, an indication that you have arrived, but where? 😉
According to Wikipedia.org this was created for the 1964 New York World’s Fair and was used as a Ferris wheel! I’ll add the link after I get a correct answer, hee hee…
Happy First Day of December, can you believe it?

Beautiful Charleston Architecture – Horton Hayes Gallery
Charleston architecture is beautiful, specifically the older buildings that have such rich patina, texture and such wonderful history!
This is the Horton Hayes Gallery on State Street in Charleston, SC. I have always loved the dark paint on the windows. This is one classy gallery, check it out if you’re in town, if not, check them out online!
