It’s the holiday season… 🎶 It’s such a festive time of year isn’t it? My “Thanksgiving cactus” is in full bloom, and even though Thanksgiving has passed, Christmas (and other holidays) are on the way – we’re all working feverishly to buy gifts, find recipes, cook, shop, wrap, etc. #blessusall

This photo of my husband and I was taken by a friend and Expert-In-Residence at The Swag in Waynesville, NC – This is one of my favorite photos of us, we were climbing up to Hemphill Bald near the Cataloochee Ranch in North Carolina. Best photo ever… It’s a strong reminder of the many things we have in our lives to be thankful for. #friends #family #thegreatoutdoors

Every once in a while it’s nice to get out of your own setting – see something different, even though it may be nearby. My husband and I stopped and had a nice lunch and then thought a drive might be nice – get out and see something different. I ended up taking a lot of photos as the conditions were near perfection!

We were out running errands and popped into a few nearby shops. On the way back to the car, I had to stop to take a photo to show you… THIS is the view. (It’s not my personal view, but it’s a short walk away, which is just perfect!) I never take for granted living in such a beautiful area. The serenity, nature, calm atmosphere. Wow, each one is a gift, isn’t it?

With EL NIÑO in place, much of the country is expecting warmer temps this winter. I can say that would be true for Charleston where temps are hovering around 80 and the sun is shining beautifully. It’s a delight to be able to spend more time outdoors.

When is the madness going to stop? Wouldn’t it be nice to stay on Daylight Saving Time (DST)? The thought, for most of us, of dark coming at such an early hour gives those who work no time to be in the sunlight, even if it may be fading… Regardless, the fact is for most of us, tonight is when we change the clock BACK one hour (gaining an hour of sleep)…

Fall is in the air which has most people super happy. In Charleston, we’ve taken a break from the heat (woohoo!) and are blessed with cooler, dry temperatures. There is a crispness that has most people out and about.

Isn’t this the quintessential New England fall decor you’ve always dreamed of? Simple. Classic. The gorgeous blue of the door, coupled with the classy door knocker is enough to say WOW, but add pumpkins on the ledge above the door and this is a knockout! The American flag dresses this off nicely, as does the pretty flowers on the porch.

I took this photo several years ago – this is an exquisite example of Charleston, SC architecture. I love the lines (on the windows, columns, ceiling, detail work on trim, windows, shadows) and the shadows from the palm trees. Stunning in every way. This is one of the many grand homes of Charleston. What a treat it is to walk and snap photos.

Pumpkins/gourds – such a cool indication of fall, cool weather, cider, Halloween, and everything crisp and wonderful. I took this photo years ago on Monhegan Island (Maine) – fresh pumpkins lined the road. A quintessential fall photo! It hit me, WHY do we do this? Good answer…
