Red Shamrocks

Image
Image You may remember these shamrocks that I posted last year. This "red" shamrock is a houseplant and it's huge. These are the tiny flowers it produces. The flowers are about the size of a fingernail.

There was a time when...

The Homestead

I've never been to The Homestead in Virginia before. Very nice place. Sortof like a smaller version of The Greenbrier just across the border here in West Virginia. I wasn't out skiing or golfing or horseback riding... I was working all day in one room. Don't get me wrong... it was a good job and I was happy to do it. But I kept looking out the window at the gorgeous weather... sigh. When I had a little downtime I shot some pictures of the light fixture over my head.

What a weird name for a restaurant. It seems like every time a new restaurant opens in Charleston, absolutely everybody in town wants to go there so you can't even get in the parking lot. Right now, this is that place. It's jammed. Don't go there. By the way, when this place was under construction, you saw it in this post.
