Ready to dig

Garden tool gate, Hwy 52, SC   

I am always willing to detour to admire this gate made of garden tools at the now abandoned Carolina Nursery on Hwy 52 between Goose Creek and Monks Corner. No matter what becomes of the property I hope the gate is salvaged and reinstalled somewhere cool. 

Have a good weekend kids. I have the folks in the path of hurricane Harvey in my thoughts. 

Garden gates and secret gardens

Lamboll St., Charleston, SC  

This is why it is always interesting walking on the peninsula. There is always a garden gate to look through and a secret garden to glimpse. Never a dull moment.

Hello Friday my old friend.

Secret Gardens

Garden Gate, Charleston, S.C.

It is difficult to take a boring walk in Charleston. Even quiet off the beaten path streets offer a glimpse of secret gardens.

I am fading fast. This week comes along with evening events almost every night. This evening I hosted forty teenagers interested in surgical careers. They were a great bunch full of energy and questions. There may be nothing more fun than teaching someone eager to learn. They drilled screws into chicken feet and X Rayed them, used a laser to write their names on tongue depressors, practiced cutting flesh in a large piece of steak and wore me out :).
