It has been a while since we had anyone come to stay in our home. Last week, our friends that live in Ohio had been on vacation in Florida and came to visit us on their way home. We are a good layover point, and they planned to be here for a couple of nights. …
Having Fun in Delaware
Last month was a bit of a whirlwind, with a long drive up to Delaware in the midst of Autumn Jubilee to visit the Ocean Waves Quilt Guild. I got to meet in person my wonderful two moderators of our Friends of From My Carolina Home Facebook group. Normally, I do not go this far …
Sunday Chat and Fall Color

Autumn Jubilee in the Garden
Autumn means the garden is winding down, and there is work to be done for a nice display next year as well as keeping the tender plants from harm over the winter. Some annuals can be safely over-wintered in a sheltered area, like our Carolina room. A few of the flowers were still blooming with …
