I took an evening walk and guess who was in the tree having a big time. The squirrel. They’re everywhere and I know some people aren’t big on them because they can be destructive but to watch them, they always seem so happy. Jumping around, and from tree to tree it almost appears they can fly at times. See the tree branch the squirrel is on? Note the crunchy vegetation…

There is a gaping hole in my visit to Costco. My favorite section, the books, was dwindled down to nothing. I don’t believe the reasons were good enough to annihilate a section that had fans across the country. Every time I was looking at books there were many other people doing the same thing. My typical Costco run consisted of me running around picking up everything on my list and then heading to the book section to see if there was something appealing to pick up. What a treat – it would make my day. But…

Good Friday, a day of reflection… I looked through my recent photos for one that fit the bill and this dogwood with the live oak and Spanish moss in the background was perfect! The photo was taken a few days ago with the sun starting to lower giving off the pretty, warm light.

The azaleas are blooming in Charleston, SC and it’s quite a show. I LOVE this time of year – I mean the pink is exploding all up and down our street and it’s gorgeous. So thankful for the beauty. Soon the ligustrums will be in bloom and when they bloom the aroma is out of this world!

You know about these luscious little oranges. There are different varieties, some with thicker skins, some with seeds, some without, some slightly larger. Some contain more potassium, others contain more Vitamin C. They are an absolute treat. I have both the smaller clementines with the sweeter fruit, (smaller size and easy peel and bonus, no seeds!) as well as a bag of mandarin oranges similar to clementines, but a little larger, a little less sweet. Both are fabulous and make a great dessert when you’re being on your best behavior…

The first day of Spring is Friday! So I’m going to start the pretty flower photos a bit early. We live in the southeast region (Zone 9a with plants and flowers), so our flowers are going crazy with blooms and when ours are done, areas north of us are just blooming. This time of year is so beautiful, I love it!

Would you like a night out on the town at a nice venue with good parking? Look no further. We just saw the MOST AMAZING show in Charleston, SC. Around April of 2025 we decided instead of buying gifts all year for each other for holidays we would buy season tickets to the Best of Broadway series. I’m so glad we did! The shows have been exceptional, and MJ the Musical was OVER. THE. TOP. good!!!

Are you looking to go on an adventure – maybe an adventurous hike without leaving your house? Well, have I got the book for you. Also, the movie is on Netflix and it was good. The book was better and I highly suggest reading the book before seeing the movie it will make more sense. Another great, uplifting book with characters that have challenged themselves for different reasons, while causing laughter along the way.
