Majestic. It’s the word that comes to mind when I see these spectacular live oak trees in the neighborhood. They’ve been here a while and some are so dramatic. I love the little bits of light from the sunrise in this tree. Leading you on a path to the greater beyond. This particular tree is quite large and stunning.

I think this is such an interesting house plan. It’s intriguing and unique. Gorgeous doors across the front, they pull you right into the space. I love the porch, no spindles, barely a step up, which is great. A very classy design for sure, and just wait until you see the inside! Wonderful porches front and back!

Cooking Light magazine – one of my all time favorites. I was an avid reader (from the early 90’s until they decided to merge some of their info into Eating Well magazine and sell Cooking Light as a magazine that you can buy in store only (no subscriptions). I never bought one of the special interest publications, but once the subscriptions started back, woohoo, I was too excited.

Looking for a quick and easy lunch or dinner idea? I have one for you – especially if you whip together some tzatziki first. I posted a recipe for it not long ago and trust me, it’s a keeper and works perfectly in this tasty dish! It takes it from ho-hum to WOW!

I love living in a house built in the 1930’s. The charm and character can’t be beat. We found this old swing door in the attic of the garage many years ago, we cleaned it up, painted it and hung it. Now, when we need privacy in the kitchen (Fred’s WFH office is on the other side of that door. Since he’s on conference call after conference call, I close the door if I’m going to be in the kitchen, or if the dog acts up with UPS, FedEx, Amazon, USPS, any human, animal, etc. that moves past our house). I cannot imagine having a kitchen without it…

Just look at this stunning sky – the clouds seem to go on forever! When I walk it seems like I’m always looking up, especially early in the morning or around sunset – the Golden Hour, where the light is like magic… ✨ Always look up or you’ll miss out on so much!

I know I said this before… It’s fall y’all! It makes me so happy to not be smothered in humidity (as I write this). The fall flowers are out and about – they’re gorgeous aren’t they? Tomorrow is a very big day, so today is that day’s “eve”…

It’s fall y’all! Time to bake something and fill your home with those autumn baking aromas, particularly apples and cinnamon. I have just the recipe! I’ve made this several times and wouldn’t change a thing, except for the one step I keep forgetting to do, ha ha. This recipe works when I buy a small 2 cup buttermilk. (I use 1 1/4 cup for cold cucumber soup and the remainder for this recipe)!

This is one gorgeous building. I’ve loved it since I first saw it in 1988. Stunning architecture and so much history! This is One Broad Street – it’s in the heart of the Charleston, SC peninsula. There is so much history in this area, and this building is no exception!

I love barn homes. There is a special ✨magic✨ about them. They can be as exquisite and fancy as you like or as warm and comfortable with a more relaxing vibe. This plan has a garage/pool room downstairs with a living space upstairs. The living space isn’t an afterthought, that’s for sure! So many windows – there is stunning light in every space! I could live there happily!

We are island people. We don’t live on an island, but we love them. We are in need of a getaway, it’s been a long, long, long time… It started with Mackinac Island (MI), and Harsen’s Island (MI), then morphed to Monhegan Island (ME) and Seabrook and Kiawah Islands (SC) – the pull of tranquility can be overwhelming at times. #thisisoneofthosetimes I took this photo last year on a day trip to Seabrook. We had the best time ever!

I saw this recipe, as I am always in search of a new recipe to try 👀 – something healthy as a good side dish, that could even stand on it’s own as a meal with a salad. #winwin This recipe is quick and tasty, and as I mentioned it’s full of healthy ingredients as well.

As I’ve been saying for the past year and a half (at least)… This is an older photo. We’ve been dreaming of visiting this place we love, but this year just isn’t the year. Look at the magic! This was taken from the Island Inn on Monhegan facing Manana Island. Light on the island is so different. I have seen beautiful sunsets in my life, but nothing like I’ve seen on Monhegan!

Plentiful windows, beautiful garage doors and LOVE the front door as well!

Everyone has their own opinion of their favorite season(s). My number one, hands down, favorite season is FALL – I love the autumn colors, the smell of leaves, the memories of fall are wonderful. I look forward to less humidity, as seen in this photo. Sometimes it’s just over the top…
