The Spring Vibe Continues in Charleston, SC

It’s hard to believe our winter is almost over. It definitely looks, sounds and feels like it. The camellia’s are blooming, the birds are chirping and the temps are warming (70’s/80’s). Most days have been nice, breezy – not much humidity, but every once in a while it sneaks in and reminds you of what’s to come…

The beauty in this tiny town is beyond comprehension. You can just feel the history. It has that feeling of days gone by, kind of like Mayberry, but quieter, more refined and certainly very special!

Oak trees and pavers… who knows what to do?

Well, jeez, it looks like maybe I should get busy and scrape and paint this fence before the cold weather appears! Hey, a good job for a nice sunny day!… Years ago when we had a pool installed we had pavers put down. Lots and lots of them (which is why my neighbors always see me out sweeping. All those leaves drive me crazy, sweep, sweep, sweep… and YEP, we have a blower. It seems as if one is constantly going and I don’t want to add to it. Plus, I like to sweep… We had also planted a big live oak tree several years prior to that… as you may have guessed the roots from the tree are now lifting some of the pavers. What to do? Who knows if it’s ok to dig up the pavers (cannot imagine doing this) and cutting the root, then putting the pavers back down? I’m no expert and just wondered if (hopefully) someone out there might be?

I always have liked this view into our backyard… years ago we painted the wooden (natural) fence a dark green, same with the garage and they quietly blended into the landscape. No longer does the fence or garage stand out, yippee! The weather is great in Charleston this time of year. For that I am so thankful! Whew, we lived through another summer, woohoo!
