A Busy Few Days after Getting Home

September 15, 2025 On Sunday (September 7), we had a pretty sunset, but no fireflies. On Monday (September 7), I didn’t do much; I mostly napped part of the afternoon away. I did get some pictures of butterflies. I walked out to the orchard with soap spray for aphids while Bruce mowed. I sprayed the […]

Glass Floats by Loretta Eby Hot Glass Artist Purchased from Jekyll Island Welcome Center

September 13, 2025 When we stopped at the Jekyll Island Welcome Center, they were selling Loretta Eby’s glass floats for 20% off since she was closing her studio. She decided to retire. We wound up buying three of her glass floats. Here is the card that is included with them. Here are the three glass […]

How Does Your Garden Look after Two Weeks?

September 12, 2025 On Sunday (September 7), after we got back from breakfast, Bruce and I headed to the garden to see how everything looked. Oh, the tomato plants were eaten. Tomato Hornworms and Armyworms were munching away. Some of the other plants didn’t do very well. Some plants grew well. The basil was spectacular. […]

Eating Breakfast at Superhero Chefs

September 12, 2025 On Sunday morning (September 7), we decided to treat ourselves to breakfast out. In looking at Google maps for breakfast places, I asked Bruce if he wanted to try something different. He said he’d be willing to try something different. We went to Superhero Chefs in Tuscumbia, AL. The inside has a […]

Driving Back to Sweet Home Alabama

September 12, 2025 On Saturday (September 6), we finished loading up the truck, clipped Nox into her seat harness, said goodbye to my father-in-law, and headed out. We stopped at the Jekyll Island Welcome Center to see if they still had a good selection of glass floats. They had a wonderful selection of glittering glass […]

Some Random Pictures from Jekyll Island

September 12, 2025 There are a lot of deer on Jekyll Island. While sometimes seen during the daylight hours, the deer are mostly seen after dark. On the side of my father-in-law’s house, Bruce and I discovered a beautiful shimmering spider web. A lovely Golden Silk Orb-weaver had set up shop.

More Salt Marsh Pictures

September 11, 2025 This was taken from the M. E. Thompson Memorial Bridge as we headed into Brunswick. Jekyll Island is on the right of Jekyll Creek. I managed to take some pictures of the salt marshes from the Sidney Lanier Bridge as Bruce was driving over it. Once over the Sidney Lanier Bridge, I […]

A Short Walk Through the Live Oaks on Jekyll Island

September 11, 2025 I had hoped to buy a sea glass ball from the shops in the Historic District on Jekyll Island. The shops didn’t have any sea glass balls that I wanted. The walk underneath the live oaks was worth going to the Historic District.

Beach Scenes From Jekyll Island

September 11, 2025 I love walking along the beach at Jekyll Island. There were Gulf Fritillary butterflies on flowers growing on the dunes. (The Donald Fagen song “On the Dunes” just started playing in my head.) The pelicans flew in formation on their way home for the evening. As we walked down the beach, we […]

Helping Out Bruce’s Dad

September 11, 2025 Bruce and I cleaned my father-in-law’s garden shed while we were staying with him on Jekyll Island, GA. We had cleaned it out when we visited in the area in our RV. My FIL requested that we pressure-wash his driveway. Bruce and I took turns pressure-washing the driveway. I made squares, then […]
