Charleston Fountains

Fountain, Legare St., Charleston, SC 

Recent entries have turned into a series on fountains. Not planned! Some have been water features, others floral and this one on Legare St. is a mixture. What a beautiful yard.

My yard is not on such a grand scale but I am in the midst of improvements! I had gentlemen here today busily working on creating a little flagstone patio for me. Nothing I like more than watching a hustle and bustle of activity while my property is being improved. I can't wait. Neither can the bear.

Beautiful gardens

Legare St., Charleston, S.C.

This is another beautiful garden in Legare St. Look at the roses around the doorway of the little building. Gorgeous. I need a gardner!

This has been an odd week. I am in a gluttony of tv watching after finally getting my hands on the True Detective series. I go for a quick walk around the neighborhood, grab dinner, dim the lights and settle in. I've been very busy at work but basically getting nothing else done around here at all. Oh well. It can't last much longer! There is so little I care about watching it is a treat.

Before & After - Garden Style

Legare St., Charleston, S.C.

I could never resist taking a picture over the fence of this wild garden on Legare St. but the last time I walked by I stood scratching my head in bewilderment. It's all gone. Wiped out. Wow.

I am guessing the house is for sale and needed to be characterless for potential purchasers. Thanks for the smiles through the years. Hope things are well with the mystery gardener.

Charleston Gate

Legare St. Gate, Charleston, S.C.

This is one of the most beautiful gates in Charleston. I am not liking the early dark. Hmmmph. This is cutting into my walking time. I am having to stock up on pictures for you on the weekend.

Goodness it was oddly quiet at work on this post election day. By the looks on faces a lot of people were biting their tongue so hard they were in pain. It's time for me to watch my recorded Colbert Report and see what the comedians made of the election.

I have a box of 1,000 holiday cards to get signed for the military. We will be setting out tables at Roper Hospital, Bon Secours St. Francis and Mount Pleasant Hospital tomorrow between 11 - 2 to get them signed for the holidays. I'll be in the lobby at St. Francis - West Ashley. Stop by if you want to bring a card of your own or write a message on one of ours. Let's show these ladies and gentlemen how much they are appreciated. We will get them shipped to the Red Cross for holiday delivery.

Someone with a green thumb is having fun decorating. I can't help peaking through the fence to see what is new each time I walk by.
