On one of our venture’s downtown walking I happened upon this quote. This bench is at Colonial Lake in Charleston, SC – which underwent quite the facelift!
This quote is so true – the one’s you love are a gift far greater than anything money could possibly buy – cherish them!
I took this photo several years ago. I just love the blue in the boat, the light reflections in the water and those fabulous shadows.
Makes me smile… Happy Saturday!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
Charleston, SC Porch with Flowers
Don’t you love those regal looking palms? They command attention, especially on a breezy day – I love the sound they make.
Spring has definitely sprung here in Charleston. Window boxes, planters, beautiful flowers everywhere. What a joy! Get out and enjoy your day if you can! 🌸
Catch you back here tomorrow!
We only have one Earth – it should be treated with respect…

This Spring Normandy Farms Bakery begins a new venture – This wonderful old building (a bank for the past 150 years) is taking on new life. The first floor will be a casual restaurant called THE ROOM. Mike Ray (owner of Normandy Farms Bakery) and Ben Johnson will take over the space and make it all their own.
We are so fortunate to live in Charleston, SC. The food scene is over the top amazing. This will be a great addition! More info from CharlestonEater.com!

Pretty as a picture. Love this lavender on a home downtown (Rainbow Row). One thing you will see in Charleston, SC are colorful homes. Not all of them, but they do fit rather nicely in the tropical climate. The shadows on this home are stunning!
CATCH YOU BACK HERE TOMORROW!
Morning Walk – I think these look so Easterly! So I thought I would fit them into this week of photos.
Hope you’ve all had a nice Easter weekend/Spring Break/Time Off/Time Working…
Happy Monday!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
I took this photo years ago – Fresh flowers hanging on the gate at a church downtown really shows you how special this day is! Easter!
If you happen to be in Charleston, SC on Easter and the weather is nice, get out and take some photos, there is magic here in Charleston!
Life. Changing. Yes, what I’m about to tell you is just that. PLEASE tell me that you don’t already know about this. How can I be XY years old and never have heard of this? Head in the sand? Who knows, but for some reason I Googled it when I had a cold (what else is there to do? ha) – I watched a few orange-cutting videos. The method I tried didn’t seem like it would be good, so I thought that would be a quick one to cross of the list. Wrong! Here’s the (apparently Top Secret) method: Cut off each end, then slice (not super thin, but not thick). When you do so, you can pick up the slice and it will open (as you see on the bottom) making it INCREDIBLY easy to eat and NOTHING is left over. Not a spec!
Some of my oranges had thicker rind, so I just made a small slice and that worked fine.
Brilliant. You didn’t already know this did you? Please… just say No! 😉
If you do already know this, pass it along to another poor soul who may not! Ha ha.
I love this beautiful boat that sits in the Monhegan harbor. Especially with this beautiful golden light.
Fortunate Island – could the name be any more perfect? To me, this boat looks peaceful, tranquil, elegant, responsible and strong.
When visiting Monhegan Island, the wharf is the happiest place and saddest place – how can it be both? It’s the happiest site you’ll see once you arrive. It means a week of peace and quiet, beautiful scenery, good friends, good food and a chance to unplug.
When waiting for the boat that heads back to the main land, which also means you are headed H-O-M-E, the wharf can be the saddest place. Because you won’t see the island, and your friends, until at least the following year, if you’re lucky!
But… I have my photos, and a lot of them! Perusing old Monhegan photos is a necessity for me!
One of our favorite cottage views (well, from the road anyway). This cottage is on Monhegan, Maine – looking towards Manana Island (pronounced like banana with an “M”) – Stunning!
Happy Friday everyone!
Another Charleston, SC photo with the vantage point from the street looking up at some rather impressive, old, historic homes. Oh, the stories they could tell – wouldn’t that be something?
Happy Sunday!
CATCH YOU BACK HERE TOMORROW!
Window boxes in Charleston, SC are stunning right now. Each is so different, with a wide array of plants and flowers being used. It takes great imagination to come up with some of these designs!
Just beautiful! Happy Saturday!
CATCH YOU BACK HERE TOMORROW!
Hiking Monhegan Island, Maine. Is there anything better? The island is small so we can cover a good amount of territory and then stop for lunch, head back out then come back in time to get ready for dinner or meet up with friends.
The peace and quiet in these woods is immeasurable. We are not used to such quiet. When we’re out hiking I will stop… “JUST LISTEN to the silence!” – I love it. Fresh air, silence, peace. It’s like no place on Earth.
Blessed to be able to visit!
Like Fred says… “this is my happy place”, me too Fred! Me. Too!
