More Lovely Things

 

Anthurium from Frank

This beautiful anthurium plant was given to me by Frank on Valentine's Day.  It is another "lovely thing" to add to my list.  The interesting instruction that came with the plant is to water it weekly by placing 4 to 6 ice cubes on the soil.  What a clever way to water plants!

And another item:  Grass-fed rib-eye steak from The Fresh Market.  We broiled it last night for dinner along with brussel sprouts and sweet potato - a truly lovely meal, both in appearance and in eating!  Sorry I didn't photograph it.

Now we have only three more days of our month of vacation.  And it's enough.  We will enjoy winding up our stay here with a second dinner at Frank's Restaurant and a visit to the lovely consignment shop just across the causeway on Hwy 17.  But mostly we'll continue our routine.  I arise at 7:00 and write a blog post, read an iBook   in the sun on the porch with my green tea, honey, and apple cider vinegar.   Go to the Inn's lobby for yogurt, bananas, and blueberry muffins.  Return to our condo with breakfast and switch to coffee, back onto the porch.  Frank arises about 10:00, I move with yoga practice, and sometimes a walk on the beach.  And so our days begin.
