    Plantation Life

    09/17/2013 · by Tricia

    Ducks and a peacock in a field
    Hello! Hope you’re all doing well.
     
    I figured it was time to hobble together a post since it’s been how long since I’ve been here…a month? Yep, sad, but true. Anyway, I thought I’d show you a few photos I took while visiting a plantation in South Carolina earlier this summer.
    A peacock on a fence.
    There were a variety of things to do, but we pretty much just walked around taking in the sites, which basically consisted of the house, gardens and animals. If you minus out the fact that it felt like 842 degrees outside and that I found the way they cared for the majority of the animals disturbing, it was enjoyable.
     
    Here’s a glimpse of the house.
    A house surrounded by trees draped in Spanish moss.
    There were paths that meandered through the gardens. Here and there, you’d find something interesting like this red bridge…

    or this little gazebo. The minute my daughter laid eyes on this, she had to run over and check it out. I love the copper roof. One thing I absolutely L.O.V.E about the south is all the moss that hangs from the trees. It looks so pretty when it’s blowing in the breeze. Don’t you think?
     
    No matter where I visit, the animals are always bound to be my favorite part.
    A colorful rooster
    Well, that’s all for now. I guess I’m a woman of few words today.
     
    Later gator.

      Yes, the moss and beautiful marshy flowers are some of my favorite things about the south. The heat I can do without though. 🙂 Every time I'm there, I find a new place to explore…there just isn't history in Nebraska like there is in the south.

      *thank you so much for your thoughtful comment on my last post. It's been a hard year but sweet words like yours really bring me some peace.

      guess what – my two daughters love "the princess and the frog" and when my older one saw your pictures she immediately thought about tiana and prince naveen 😉

    Well, I figured that it was high time that I put u Well, I figured that it was high time that I put up a post! I don’t know what the issue is, but posting on IG kind of stresses me out. Anyway, nothing too exciting to report over here. I’m currently caulking  the woodwork In our basement so that we can paint it all like our upstairs. I’m pretty excited about that! I love change. 😊
    Sharing flowers in autumn when I’m actually alre Sharing flowers in autumn when I’m actually already thinking about Christmas! 😊 I grew a variety of flowers this year, but never ended up taking much for photos, for whatever reason. There’s always next year, right?! Hope you all have a happy weekend!

If you’re wondering what flowers are in this bouquet, I did a blog post and listed them there. 💗
    My peonies are long gone, but I figured I’d shar My peonies are long gone, but I figured I’d share a photo of them anyway. Better late than never is my thinking. If I had a list of favorite flowers, peonies would probably be right at the top...followed closely by lilacs and hydrangeas. 😊 Do you have a favorite?
    Wishing you all a beautiful and blessed Easter! 💜
    Thinking of heading into the kitchen to make some Thinking of heading into the kitchen to make some pizza crust dough since I have some fresh mozzarella and basil that I want to use up. As a side note, the other day, I had a basil plant sitting on the counter and my husband asked me what this plant was that smelled like cat pee. Well, that scent was something I had never noticed before, but, of course, now it’s all I can smell when I’m near it!🍃Sooo, what are you having for dinner? 😬

    When you’ve purged so much that you have to use When you’ve purged so much that you have to use a chair as a side table.😊 I’ve gotten rid of so much stuff, including furniture, over the past few years that I’m trying to really focus on finding things I love, rather than just getting something I like, in order to fill a space. It’s a way of thinking that fits with my minimalist sensibilities as well.  Since I gravitate towards old things more than new, it sometimes feels as if it’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack to discover that something that seems just right!
    Hello and happy Monday! Today felt like it called Hello and happy Monday! Today felt like it called for flowers. I don’t like to rush time along, but the minute the holidays are over my brain is pretty much ready for spring! Who’s with me? 😀
