Flirty guard lions on Montagu

60 Montagu St., Charleston, SC 

Beautiful home on Montagu St. built in 1801. Thanks to Zillow we still get the inside tour: Zillow

It is so hot in Charleston it is hard to get motivated to go for my walk. Luckily I saved this shot from last weekend's walk...heheh!

 Spot the guard dog on duty? 

Beautiful home. The current owners have certainly added bright color since the last google shot. 

Sunny photo on a rainy day

Holy monsoons, kids! We have had some rain. I haven't seen my yard (post drainage installation) this flooded for a long time. I am very glad I didn't need to be driving in town this evening. It was a fine night to be snug as a bug in my little nest.

I don't usually walk Montagu St. this far west and spotted this bright beauty on a recent walk. I will be using some blog filler from recent walks and jaunts for the next week or so since I am busy as a:

Busy as a beaver

Busy as a humming bird with two tails

Busy as a one-armed paperhanger with the hives

Busy as the day is long

Busy as the devil in a gale of wind

Busy as a cross-eyed boy at a three-ring circus

Busy as a hen with fifteen chickens in a barnyard

Busy as a hen with one chick

Busy as a boy killing snakes

Busy as a beehive attacked by a bear

Busy as horses in a field of clover

 

Montagu St., Charleston, SC

Thanks for the sentiment but I am simply too busy!

The last of the jasmine

Montagu St., Charleston, SC

I tried to buy some jasmine this weekend but everyone was out. Nothing to it but to walk with snippers and start my jasmine trimming service. No charge!

Traffic has been awful here after a tractor trailer overturned on the Cooper River Bridge. The bridges were closed for hours and the other options naturally got tangled up as well. It wasn't a bad day to live and work West of the Ashley. Wondering if the bridge is open or not? Thanks to Sean McCambridge you can check this site: Is the Cooper River Bridge Closed?

Two ladies who met online meet up to eat their way though Charleston. They covered a lot of bases! Well done. Read their photo laden blog here but don't read it hungry.

I was doing pretty well cutting back on sugar until I remembered someone had long ago given me a bottle of Godiva Chocolate liquor. Hello there! Sip, sip.

No jasmine but I spotted this new garden design on Ashley Avenue that will be fun to check back on.

Short week, kids! We can do it.
