Well! Winter went by quickly, don’t you think? We’ve had buds on trees and shrubs for a while now. It’s so beautiful to see. I like Spring, it’s a pretty time – the scents wafting from the various plants smell divine! It can be pollen filled, but still beautiful!

Is there anything more precious to have in your possession than a good recipe? A recipe that comforts (especially these days), and is so quick and easy to pull together yet tastes like a five star restaurant. Sometimes the most simple recipes are the ones that we long for… THIS is that recipe!

The sky was actually much more vivid than this. I took this photo inside looking out, it was late so there wasn’t much light on the window. I love the darkness around the window, but with the grids and the tree. This was a quick changing sunset, absolutely spectacular!

We have a palm tree in our backyard that popped up on its own. You see them all over the Lowcountry. I love the tropical flair they bring to the yard. They start just as a tropical growth, palmy looking more like a plant. They grow quickly, provide shade and the most wonderful relaxing sounds when there is the slightest wind. #itmakestheyardanoasis

Cool chicken coop. Cool chickens. A beautiful chicken walked by and I didn’t get to my phone in time. So no photo… This was on a morning walk. I love running across the unexpected. In Charleston you can EXPECT to run across the unexpected, usually in the most unique way possible.

This is a townhouse plan. Unique, and can be absolute perfection in so many cases. The floor plans are flip flopped for each. You enter via the front door for the plan on the right, walk into a kitchen, dining and living space. For the left side, you enter via the back, and into the same rooms. Which means the living area is in the front of the plan on the left and the kitchen is in the front of the plan on the right. I really like seeing only one door. Both are two story.

Have you ever found the perfect gift for someone? Something different, unique, special and so, so nice. If you are looking for something super special to treat yourself with, or perhaps a unique gift that someone will love (and in turn give as gifts)? I have just the idea for you! This was an unexpected treat, I love it, but now…

We’ve had some challenges the past few years. COVID reared its ugly head, the weather that has been so bizarre, wild fires, mud slides, freezing and no power in many areas in the north and the south, hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, the list goes on, and on! But… all that said, there IS hope!

I don’t have a lot of “stuff” that I keep. Mentally, too much “stuff” can be exhausting to some people (me!). However I do have a few treasures that I have saved from when I was a (very young) kid. I’ve always loved paper (still do), writing, reading, art. Some things never change…

I can imagine this house plan in so many different settings. Since it has so many wonderful windows and doors, I can see this plan fitting perfectly where there is a water view or maybe woods – any view would be amazing. I love the wrap around porches and the clean lines of this Dutch inspired house plan. I think this house has amazing lines. I love the cuts in the roof.

A year ago, WHO would have thought that we would be adding “washing masks” to our weekly reportoire? This was a chilly day, I washed the masks and then needed to find a sunny spot for them to dry. Hehe… Worked like magic! Also a tip for getting the nose piece back in place…

Fabulous, right? I love the subject matter in this painting, the large (very cool!) moon, the stunning trees with a life of their own, the moonlight on the water. I want to be right there, perhaps sitting on that big rock, absorbing the silence, watching for a fish to jump.

Sunrise or sunset? I love them both equally. If you owned a home where you could see a stunning view of either, which would you prefer? Sunrise or sunset? I think I would pick sunset, because then I would never miss it! We are up early, but there is always the chance you could miss it…

Can you imagine an outbuilding (or a tiny house!) so fine? With so many people working from home (WFH) during this era of COVID-19, this could be a fabulous office, art studio, and so much more – the possibilities are endless! What a wonderful roofline and gorgeous windows. This is one special space!

Looking for a tasty treat? Something that is healthy and full of everything good in the world? LOOK NO FURTHER, you’ve found it with a Sumo orange. They’re a beautiful color, peel easily (although I slice, we eat and the orange comes right off the peel). #heaven
