For those of us who could use a peaceful scene right now…

Photo of bright green marsh grass, blue water and a hint of the coast in the distance

Some days we need peace, good thoughts, and to surround our thoughts with nature. Nature is one of the ultimate healers and the ultimate peace giver (🙏 being the other!) . Did you know that being outside is so good for you? It can calm your mind (whose doesn’t get riled up these days?) and heal your soul.

Discover the Beauty of Charleston, SC Marsh Scenes!

Did you know that South Carolina has the most salt marshes on the East coast? A good bit of those marshes are located right here in Charleston County! It’s true! I love how they change with the seasons – and on days with clouds like this it’s absolutely stunning!

What A Nice Thought…

Dark overpass on busy highway with the word PEACE painted in blue, peace, signs, driving

We were heading back from Charlotte, NC yesterday and I saw “PEACE” painted on an overpass. How timely. Is there anything we should wish for more than this? Despite the heavy traffic the sentiment jumped out at me as something that is sorely needed (my opinion)… So thank you to whoever painted it, looks like it may have been there a while, but peace is always needed.

Peace and beauty, what more could you ask for??

Monhegan… ah… am I ever going to stop posting photos? Well, I just had to, we have some friends who are there this week, next week and the following week! I can’t wait to see their photos! I bet the weather will be perfect! This photo was taken (I think) when we hiked along trail 1… past Dead Man’s Cove and back up into the woods… it is M A G I C A L !  Some are there to paint, others to show family around a wonderful place they have yet to visit, and another who is going to read, relax, swim and hike! You always feel better once you’ve visited Monhegan, it gets your priorities back in place. Really!

Catch you back here tomorrow!

Over the river and through the woods… well kinda…

Monhegan Woods...
Monhegan Woods…

When you see this image don’t you just want to plop yourself into these woods and walk around… I do! I’m not sure if this was taken in Cathedral Woods or another area on the island, but it is heaven to meander through the woods without a care in the world. The silence is something you won’t forget. Good, sweet silence. You just don’t hear silence too often…  Over the river and through the woods… but no river. When you reach the end of the trail you do hear and see the crashing surf and that is such a treat! It makes you happy… here’s proof… this is my mom, she was thrilled, just look at that smile!
