A spot of color on Magnolia Rd.

Magnolia Rd., Charleston, SC    

Magnolia Road had been closed to traffic for quite some time but is open now so I did my morning walk that way. This little convenience shop always caught my eye as it has before.

This storm in Texas is horrifying, isn't it? We had 24 inches of rain a few years ago but that was spaced out over a few days. This is unbelievable. They are going to need so much help.

Going, going, gone. The last of the sunflowers reaching to the sky at the Magnolia Road community garden.

A little further down the road on Sycamore Rd but well within my walking distance will be the location of the new West Ashley Farmer's Market. Woohoo! Good news for me.

West Ashley Farmer's Market: Not to be left out of the local farmers market boom that has spread throughout the Lowcountry, West Ashley is finally getting its own weekly bazaar starting Sept. 14. Running every Wednesday from 3:30-7:30 p.m. until the end of October, the West Ashley Farmers Market looks to expand upon the success of its downtown predecessor by bringing fresh, local goods to Ackerman Park at 55 Sycamore Avenue. 

Before & After - Colorful update

Magnolia Rd, Charleston, S.C.

Pink and purple! This is a recently revived shop on Magnolia Rd. I had noticed that it was painted and walked by to check it out. Interesting color choice, wouldn't you say? Wonder what they did with the Coca Cola sign?

In other news, I've been eating so many fresh peaches and cherries I hardly need anything else. They are so very good this year.

Note: I took off the comment restrictions. I'll see how long to it takes to get swarmed by spam comments. We shall see. I hate to have it on.
