I’m always on the lookout for a new recipe to try. Many of my recipes I adore, but every once in a while I need to switch it up a little. I’m always thinking “What if I find a BETTER recipe?” I love MY RECIPE for Deviled Eggs. Nothing elaborate, they’re just plain perfection. But I was boiling eggs for a salad, then thought, hmmm, curious to try a different recipe just to see – so…

Spring has sprung, most definitely, here in Charleston, SC. The azaleas are beginning to wilt, the leaves are falling like crazy – the “squiggles” are coming, and then…

What an impressive painting, right? There are several plein air artists who I know that came to mind when I saw this painting. Some of the other paintings were WOW as well – absolutely mind blowing. What a gift to be able to visit a museum and see such beautiful work. What a great day it was… Can you guess the artist?

Apologies, some of you (subscribers) may have seen this post inadvertently pop up on Tuesday. Grrr, it wasn’t supposed to so please erase it from your mind and pretend it’s new! 🆕😬
Of course there are many ways to scroll (on your computer/tablet/device) less and think more, but this is a fun one. You don’t realize how “in the zone” you get while doing a jigsaw puzzle. You go from thinking about everything to thinking only about what you’re focused on and let me tell you, your brain needs that relief!

Beautiful reflection in the ditch holding water from the major storm we had the other day. The wind was wild as was the amount of rain. A nearby roof was ripped off and sent sailing quite a distance. Large windows of a business were blown in. How bizarre. The aftermath looked like a hurricane. For most of us it just took some raking and bagging of leaves (in this area leaves fall this time of year like autumn). We were fortunate.

Sometimes you just want fresh air, free of allergens. Aaaachoo, eyes itching, nose running – allergy meds taken. It feels as if the pollen is getting worse (as I listen to my husband now sneezing). I thought I had a good air purifier, I actually bought two. But selection needs to go beyond their marketing… (details below) – Can you suggest an air purifier that works for you?

I’m thinking many of you will guess this artist pretty quickly. Isn’t this a spectacular painting? The shadows, the fabulous greens against the building and the fence with beautiful light? I removed the artist’s signature – if you know who painted this, comment on this post, send me a message or comment on social media!

Ask anyone who has visited Abide-A-While in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina how their plant selection is and you’ll hear wonderful stories. How many of us keep going back for more?

How sharp is this? Clocking in at under 1,000 square feet – this plan is fabulous. If you aren’t in need of large square footage this plan maximizes space brilliantly. It’s such a good looking plan whether done in shingles (as shown on their website, wow!) or in wood siding. Absolutely gorgeous, the inside is just as spectacular!

Charleston, South Carolina is alive in a frenzy of vibrant colors right now. The azaleas are beginning to bloom prolifically adding to the color from the camellias, tulip trees where the blossoms have just recently made a transition into bright green leaves and a host of other blooming things. Early spring is my favorite part, temps can still be cool (but can also be warm). Like most of the country, some days we experience both.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Right? A glimpse back into the older days. It looks like they’re having a grand time. Can you guess the artist? No matter who these people are it looks like they’re having a nice time, doesn’t it? More details about this painting below, read on!

Spring is definitely in the air here in Charleston, South Carolina. Our winters are lovely and aren’t freezing cold for the most part. Some days are spring like, (as I write this for example), then it’ll turn chilly for a few days. Spring in our area is like fall elsewhere. Our leaves drop like crazy! On the plus side, the cardinals are back! Along with a few other (unidentified) birds that are gorgeous!

Wouldn’t this be a wonderful plan to build in the mountains of North Carolina? In an idyllic nature setting overlooking mountains and woods – I think this would be stunning. I would have it blend into the landscape so as to not take away from the natural beauty of the setting. This plan is larger than it looks, so there is a lot of room for living!

I saw this on Instagram (@PBS) yesterday and it piqued my interest. The short answer to WHY do we have leap year is because the seasons wouldn’t match up with the calendar over time. So to keep the season accurate…

After spending a considerable amount of time and money on a recipe that wasn’t great – actually neither of us even liked it despite loving all the ingredients.. we opted for something healthy, tasty but without a lot of ingredients (or work!) This is an old favorite. We have always eaten it as a meatless meal (we like to have several every week), but there wasn’t a lot of pasta so we opted for a…
