Now this is a beautiful place to stop and take a breath. Look around, take a walk, grab some seafood to take home and cook or stop at one of the restaurants. You definitely have options. The ability to walk to the end of this fabulous dock, talk to people fishing, etc and hang out at the end watching boat, kayakers, etc. It’s so lovely. A must see for sure.

Time flies. You may have read these words of mine before but the older I get the more I mean it. I am so thankful to have met my husband all those years ago (over 3 decades). We’ve hit milestones together and been there for each other every step of the way. Frederick, here’s to the next 3+++ decades of life with you!!

Another photo taken on James Island a few weeks ago. It’s so hard to drive by beautiful scenes without shouting STOP, ha ha… I love the reflections in the water, the dead branch which makes everything else seem so alive. Just beautiful! This isn’t far from where we live. Thankful to have the luxury of walking to beautiful spots – a lot of photos to be had!

Charleston, SC had a spell of very hot and humid weather (well, most of the country did, didn’t they?) so when we had a front blow in and block the sun, give us wonderful rain for the plants, flowers, trees, etc. and lower the temps to what we haven’t felt since April/Early May – it was the weather that dreams are made of. #iloveclouds

I like that I was drawn into this book from page one. There weren’t too many characters. Some were likable, and some (by design) were less likable.. I started this book and ordered her next two. I’m interested to see how the stories unfold. Great summer reading. So grab a book, and an iced tea and immerse yourself in fiction! Reading is so good – like meditation of sorts.

I saw this sticker on a car in Charleston, SC. What an amazing human with the most perfect message (when we all need it the most, right?)! Not only “Be Kind” but “I Hope Something Good Happens To You Today”. Be the light you want to see in the world… What a magnificent start!

Sunflowers are so interesting and so perfect for an August post. We had a young entrepreneur in our neighborhood selling sunflowers (for a great price) a while back. I snapped a photo of the sunflower as it turned to look out the front window. They have such charisma.

Well we made it to Michigan a while back, had a quick visit with my family. It’s always so good to see them. Too short no matter how long it is. I’ve been in Charleston over 36 years, wow, time flies! I love Michigan and all it has to offer. So many places to visit and check out. You can literally sit on the porch all day and never tire of the view. It’s constantly changing…

Okay. Extreme heat is insane. But extreme heat mixed with high humidity (and a crazy high dew point) is dangerous. Drink lots of water. Stay in the shade if you have to be outside, and don’t overdo it! Personally, I’m taking myself back to a cooler time in the mountains (even though I am in Charleston) if only via a photo, it will help a little.

Seriously! Look at these lively pink blooms. What show-offs they are. Every one of them dancing in the window, swaying to the butterflies and the bees that surround them and look so happy. I love the bright pink against the darkness. Stunning. They look at bit like fireworks, don’t they? Peaceful fireworks!

Y’all! Can you believe we are nearly headed into the THIRD WEEK OF JULY? How can time fly by so quickly? To be honest, I am not a lover of hot weather, so when summer passes by I get crazy happy. Well, especially once hurricane season is over, right? This shall prove to be an interesting year.

We all have our favorite things, right? Flowers make me tremendously happy. They are an amazing mood booster. I keep taking this same shot. Different flowers, different days, same setting. I just love the morning light that seems to quietly wake up this space in the early part of the day. So pretty. One of the wonderful things about hydrangeas is the fact that they can last so long and stay gorgeous with just a wee bit of help.

This book is summer reading PERFECTION! You know when you have a lot going on and you just can’t concentrate on a book? That’s where I was at. Which, for me, is a very bad place to be, ha ha. Mission accomplished- I picked up Katherine’s book, The Bodyguard and fell right into the story. Whew!

These happy pink flowers are so stunning. I look at them most of the day, they make me smile every time. Last year we had two, this year we have more, and I could happily have an entire yard full of them. The bees are very happy, which makes me happy.

Happy 4th of July…
Many of you will know this scene. Or at least remember it from long ago (photo from 2007). Port Clyde, Maine near Monhegan Boat Line. Since this time there was a fire and the General Store is no more, Monhegan Boat Line that had just built a beautiful building (had not actually seen in person) – also was lost. The boat line has rebuilt and they’re back in business. So if you’re headed to Monhegan, it’s a trusted way to go.
