Another Workday

Hope and Union. My Office.  I come here nearly everyday. I order a cup of coffee, sit down in the quiet cool, and am more productive than I've ever been. Tutti even comes and lays in the shade outside.

The details in this place are perfect.

The Island

I've been going out to Kiawah a lot for work. It's a healthy forty five minutes out of town but I always look forward to the drive. The island is quiet and perfectly manicured and everyone knows everyone's name. Island life ain't bad.

The Workday

Sometimes my job is AWESOME. On THIS particular day, there were bright lights, loud music, colorful lips, jewels, a little bit of dancing and SO MUCH LAUGHING. Oh Sully you're good.

Beets Baby

At the farmers market on Saturday I bought three rounds of beets. I don't know what got into me, I just kept buying more—each bunch more glorious than the last.

And we're back on the porch. It's a bit warmer these days but there's still nothing like it. It feels like SUMMER.

Geoff

My awesome friend Geoff is in town. He painted two of Kiawah's golf courses and has an art show on the Island tonight. Aren't they beautiful?

The Mule Ride

The best thing about the farm are the evening 'drink'n'drives'.  We all pile onto this off-road vehicle—affectionately: the "Mule" and go tearing around the farm, visiting chickens and kittens and cousins and sipping on a cocktail all the while. We did this until dark and then sat on the porch listening to funk. This is why I love the farm.

Farm Stroll

My sweetest sweet friends Helen and Josh came with me to the farm this weekend. I've been desperately missing Arkansas and had a Garden Summer screening scheduled at the county library. 

We had a BIG TIME. We went water skiing, cliff jumping, jet skiing, shot shotguns, did cartwheels, and Josh was bit by a bull mastiff (nothing too serious but quite the event). I didn't tote my camera around much because I was so excited to just be where I was. We took THIS morning stroll and visited some kittens and picked up some chigger bites.
