Peaceful Smiles






(This could go on and on.)
You get the idea. A smile is definitely a declaration of peace and joy.

1. More Savannah fall sidewalk beauty to process.



2. Speaking of beauty, a beautiful little turtle I filmed (10 seconds, watch it!) at the education center at Sapelo Island this week. We really hit it off.

Let’s call her Autumn!
3. Unique walkways.

4. Today. Simply having TODAY. What a reason to rejoice!

5. Spanish moss and Robert.

May you have So Much to love this weekend!

a bloom of beauty and a prickly hope.” —Doug Jenkins

Each day, I continue to be amazed at the incredible, diverse joy of Plant Life.








This post could go on and on, but I’ll end with perhaps The Joy of My Life, the southern Longleaf Pine …




Here’s to Plants!

It’s okay to be different.



1. Having a bed. To lay my head on every night. What a blessing. And to share with my Robert.


The little black bedside lamp was a birthday gift to me from my parents when I was in junior high.

2. Memories—the beautiful as well as the not-so-pretty. They are all a part of our legacy of life.
3. The unique scent of pine.

4. Low country boil for lunch this week.

5. The many faces of pruning.


See them?

Morning walk around Lake Mayer here in Savannah.

May you catch glimpses of beauty this weekend.
I hope you’re having a good Last Day of Summer 2022.
