Ok, the azaleas are now fading after a SPECTACULAR show! They’ve been so stunning up and down this street – covered in azaleas everywhere. An explosion of bright pink, some light pink, a couple salmon color and white – Wow! I’ll miss their bright happiness for sure! But…

Can you believe Easter weekend is already upon us? Well, it’s here and many of us are busy cooking/baking up some treats for tomorrow. Time to spend with family and friends, or at home – reflecting – which isn’t a bad way to spend a day, right?

We see the most interesting things while out walking… I snapped this photo while walking around downtown Charleston, SC. I thought, hmmm, this could come in handy one day – then I started thinking about today. Good Friday. It’s pretty perfect, right? Love the palm shadow!

Asparagus is out of the world right now – we’ve been eating it all year long, but right now.. #PERFECTION Time to make another veggie pasta. You can mix the veggies up daily and it’s always so different. I’ve been making our asparagus pasta recipe for a few years now and after having some leftover mushrooms (all but two mushrooms in a package) it was time to change things up – plus I added another veg that took this over the top. This was delicious and QUICK!

Isn’t this a fabulous painting? I can’t praise the Detroit Institute of Arts enough, to be able to visit and view painting (and more) that truly takes you back in time is a gift. This one is no exception. By chance, do you know who the artist is? *Signature has been erased so it’s not too easy to guess* – let me know if you know! #IYKYK

Welcome to spring in Charleston, South Carolina! Not unlike many locations across the country plants, shrubs and trees are blooming early. Although this seems a bit typical for us I suppose. Some years…

Prim Haus is known for their fabulous house plans and this is no exception. While I do love a traditional plan I also love a modern plan. I would love to have this plan in the mountains (or by the water), can you imagine? The amount of detail is over the top.

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?

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!
