A license plate on the Monhegan Trucking truck.
A welcome site when you arrive to the island and need your bags taken to your location. It’s cool how the few trucks line up ready to take your bags. The Island Inn, the Monhegan House, Monhegan Trucking and others picking up mail, packages, etc.
They have it down to a science!
Back to normal posting next week – catching up after a week of being out with a cold. Back to the land of the living, woohoo!
The reason I’ve been posting photos is because I’ve been under the weather. 😷🤒Nothing drastic, just a horrible cold. This week I am feeling better, but playing catch up – so I will be back to normal posting next week! But… stay tuned, I have some great photos this week!
What do you tend to eat when you have a cold? I didn’t feel energetic enough to whip up a pot of homemade chicken noodle soup, so Fred stopped on his way home from work and picked up some Egg Drop Soup from Red Orchids Bistro (in Charleston, SC). It was delicious. It lasted two days. It was perfect!
What else have I been eating? At first not much, too much time sneezing and coughing, but I did eat an orange each day which was delicious! Toast… scrambled egg, a lot of green tea, regular tea and fruit popsicles.
Wondering what YOU eat? Do you make something or order out? The ingredients in canned chicken noodle soup gives me the willies, yet it tastes the best, sadly. Unless you’re going to make your own of course!
More art, recipes and house plans next week…
Snapped a photo of a bouquet that was for sale at the Monhegan Farmers Market back in September – seemed to be the perfect “first day of Spring” photo!
Spring has Sprung! I think this forsythia is the perfect example of just that!
EVERYTHING is blooming right now, it’s beautiful!
Quite a “different” winter for us. Warmer than normal by quite a bit. Then when temps should be warming up we were cold. Just try to guess what the weather is up to, ha ha… Happy Day – back to normal posting next week!
Charleston, SC is full of beautiful, historical churches. Each stunning in their own way!
This is the French Huguenot Church – the architecture… STUNNING! What history this church has! It was originally built around 1687, it has been destroyed several times, fire, shellfire during the War Between the States and a severe earthquake in 1886. This building was completed in 1845 – read the full history HERE!
I believe that even the uglier things in life are interesting. When I saw this I thought about something (somewhere?) I read recently. A gallery didn’t want to accept paintings from an artist if they had power lines in them. They said that it dates the painting. Hmmm. Interesting. I think we’re long away from not seeing any power lines – and personally, I like to see when artists paint them in, I think it adds a nice touch – gives the painting character!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
The azaleas began blooming in January. Normally you will see a few azalea’s blooming at an off time, but our entire street is filled with blooming azaleas, and it’s stunning! I just don’t recall it happening so early!
Enjoy the beauty while you can!
Va-VOOM! Say no more – Mother Nature is incredible!
Blessed to see the beauty!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
Love the shadows from the palms on this beautiful and stately home. I also think the peek of blue sky is pretty cool!
Keep an eye out for the little things that make you smile – the little things really are the big things!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
Something happened and we missed winter here in Charleston, SC. – crazy weather this year. But… so nice to have moderate temperatures – great for getting out for a walk! I snapped this near White Point Gardens.
Catch you back here tomorrow!
First of all… beautiful shadows, ha ha… they always catch my eye!
Fred and I were walking around downtown and we walked by this church, how interesting is this? It was established in 1682 in Kittery, Maine and moved to this site in Charleston, SC in 1699! (The congregation immigrated Charleston)!
Interested in the history of this church (it IS interesting!)?? Click HERE.
Catch you back here tomorrow!

“Sunday Paper” – a beautiful gate and, oh!, the landscaping!
It’s such fun to walk and be able to snap a photo or two (or 100) – no matter where you are, there are so many beautiful sites. I always regret not taking my phone, that’s when I see the most magical things, like a turtle the size of a quarter trying to walk across the Greenway (where people and bikes are moving rapidly) – luckily Fred saw it and helped the little guy across. Also saw a hawk dive into the ditch and come up with a critter 😳 – yes, there are some things I wish I did not see… Ugh!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
Spring. Crazy to think Spring is just around the corner! March 20 to be exact…
Forsythia is the perfect flower to welcome the new season – it’s wide expanse of small yellow blooms will put a smile on your face!
Reminder – if you live in an area that observes Daylight Saving Time, be sure to set your clocks AHEAD one hour before you go to bed. You’re right… this is the time change where we lose an hour of sleep. But, the reward is that the days will be longer! Catch you back here tomorrow!
The other day we headed downtown to walk, the weather was beautiful and we decided to cover some different territory! Along the way I snapped a few (😉) photos. This gate is magnificent isn’t it? Look at all the work that went into it. Truly a piece of art! It’s not easy to see from this photo, but the shadows are amazing, as I’m sure you can imagine!
Enjoy your Sunday!!

Mistletoe Portrait
It’s interesting the way that Mistletoe grows in trees. Usually high up and growing in a clump. Fred jumped up and pulled some out of a tree when we had stopped for lunch one day. Too sweet!
I hope this Saturday brings you smiles… in turn pass along a smile to someone you don’t know. It can make their day!

Another photo from a walk – I love this view! Every time I walk by I wish I would have taken a photo, this time I backed up and took a shot, ha ha…
Happy Sunday – Catch you back here tomorrow!
