These beauties were grown at Floral and Hardy Farm in Lexington, SC. I love the combination of textures and colors in this bunch! <3, Liz

Go Gamecocks!
My uncle wasn’t using his football tickets last weekend for the Carolina Gamecocks game, so he passed them on to Forrest, me, and my parents! Forrest and I don’t usually make it to the games, so sitting in the fancy box with cushy seats and a constant flow of snacks was pretty a-mazing. The view …
zombies?
Well, the CDC made me laugh with that Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse guide a while back. But then I got to thinking about the line “You can also implement this plan if there is a flood, earthquake, or other emergency.” Nice gimmick, CDC folks. You got my attention. And then Hurricane Irene brushed the east …
New adventures!
I worked for the Fountain Division of W. P. Law for 11 years. The first 6 of those were summers starting in high school and on through college. After graduating in 2007 I moved into a full time position alternating as the jobs demanded between marketing, sales, construction, maintenance, and repair depending on what the …
witches
The cooler weather has me sniffling and popping cold medicine like it’s my job. Bummer. But on the other hand, it seems a lot more appropriate to talk about Halloween decorations now that it’s officially mid-September. I love Halloween. I love pumpkins and fall decorations. I convinced Forrest to take the Halloween boxes out of …
a busy day and some cookies
On today… This afternoon was supposed to be super busy and crazy. It didn’t actually turn out that way, though. I met up with Kiah at the OH! Salon for a hair cut right after work. He gave me a very cool, swingy cut. It’s a lot of layers but they’re staggered in a really …
a happier memory
Yesterday, I wrote about the tragedy of September 11th. Now for a happier memory. Four years ago today, Forrest and I took an evening stroll around the Carolina campus and the SC State House. Forrest had some kind of excuse- wanting to try taking some nighttime photos or something. To me, it was a normal …
where were you?
Ten years ago I was in the 11th grade. Ten years ago from this morning, I sat in anatomy class watching our daily morning news shows- remember Channel One? When the news ended, my (slacker) football coach of a teacher took his time turning the tv off. I’m grateful that he did, because what came …
apples
Forrest brought home these lovelies from the All Local Farmer’s Market on Wednesday evening. Aren’t they gorgeous? They’re from Windy Hill Orchard in York, SC and they are SO delicious. Beats the pants off anything you’d find in the produce aisle.
happy cooler weather/almost fall!
The weather is so much cooler than it has been. Yesterday when I hopped in my car, the thermostat said it was 62 degrees! Now, I’m sure there are more stifling days still to come, but fall is coming to South Carolina! Of course, you know college football began last weekend (Go Gamecocks!) and the …
