Weekend getaway??

Why not…

 

Head to  Miami Beach

and the height of South Beach art deco

for a visit to the legendary

Raleigh Hotel

It is said that Ester Williams swam here…

Of course. Makes sense…LOOK at that iconic pool!

I want some plain old black inner tubes for our pool

…remember those?

Great outdoor oasis…

throwback actually.

Maybe enjoy a dirty martini

it is the weekend for Heaven’s sake.

 

The Raleigh…

learn more here

Beat ya there…

I have always said….

That if I were to have a place on the ocean…It would have to be ON

the ocean

Not big or pretentious

But maybe a place where you are reminded where you are…

through site and sound...and smell

Nothing futzy….because this is my escape home.

are ya with?

Simple furnishings

Hear it? See it? Feel it?

Hmmmm. Do ya?

Sometimes {often} I am a part of something…

…That reminds me that everything else is little.

 

…And I am humbled.

Small changes…

I’ve always thought that when you have a fairly large garden

it is easiest to work on one

“room” at a time...

The reality to me is that the WHOLE picture can be overwhelming.

So we worked on a room…

A den…maybe the coat closet.

My almost 83 year old Mom…bless her buttons…all 82 and a half of them.'

pulled ginger…pink shell ginger that was 5 feet tall,

until there was nothing left.

It was raggedy and needed to go to greener pastures…

SO

we added and added and added a bit more. Then more.

I give you the….

Coat closet

Happy Gardening

Still thinking of pools….

You know how one’s mind can wander…

or

is that just mine?

Then….

SCREECH…

I find THIS guy….who makes it his hobby to photograph dogs jumping in them.

To catch balls!

Fascinating….really.

Happy Trails.

To a colorful Easter…

Or not…

Enjoy YOUR day.

Flowers are a bloomin’

...Around these parts…

You too?

Drive by photo shoot…

Have camera…will travel.

Darling little cottage down the road…couldn’t resist…

Great tree lined street (above) and Jasmine training below…

Carry on…
