Marveling and gaping at Savannah’s mid-winter Camellias …








My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. My steaming Ham Bone Pinto Soup from leftover holiday ham.




2. The ability to Breathe. To Simply Breathe.

I believe that breathing is the greatest and continual joy of being alive.
3. My preference for blurry pictures of myself as I get older.

4. This incredible warm spell we’re having here in Savannah.

We slept with open windows last night! In January.

5. The joy of the forest.

May your weekend be a lush forest of that which you consider good.

So Robert and I live in beautiful Historic District Savannah …

… about 20 minutes from Tybee Island …

… and the Atlantic Ocean.

Living near the coast is terrific.
But it does get on my nerves a teeny tiny bit that “Coastal” is incorporated into SO many businesses, organizations, etc. here.
My dermatologist is Coastal Dermatology.

My dentist is Coastal Dentistry.

My chiropractor is Coastal Chiropractic

Even my daughter Amy owns a local health care company called COASTAL Care Partners, for goodness sake!

And she has a dog named (of course) Coastal.

Who may or may not be gay.



So yesterday, Robert and I sashayed over to the Telfair Museums here in Historic District Savannah. (Yes, it’s plural—there are three separate buildings and locations.) One of the joys of living downtown is its walkability. (Is that a word, or did I just make it up?)
I wanted to see one of the newer and smaller exhibits at the Jepson Center.


I have always considered birds to be the personification of elegance and upper echelon beauty.
I was enthralled.









… from a January Savannah camellia and me.

So a while back, I did a short series of T-shirt Tuesdays with cool wildlife T-shirts I saw at the Savannah Wildlife Refuge gift shop.
Recently we went back, and I snapped a few more photos. (With a few folks staring at me for pulling the T-shirts off the racks and positioning them for my photo op.)
Today … the Heroic Heron.



Some of Robert’s photos of herons …



May we not be afraid to get our feet wet today.


HAPPY WET-FOOTED TUESDAY!



My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. SO enjoying last night’s Savannah Telfair Museum Christmas Tree lighting and Design District Holiday Walk.








2. Our wonderful (and often taken-for-granted) EYESIGHT.
3. HR’s nickname … Squirrel.

4. Washington Square at dusk. We live just off Washington Square in downtown Savannah. (Savannah has 22 extant squares, and ours is the northeast most one near the river.)

It’s one of my favorite places to read or rest.

5. Underrated beauty in fall’s scraggly bushes.


May you find lotsa beauty this weekend.
