Lowcountry carpet & weekend endings

Lowcountry Carpeting, Charleston, S.C.

I want a carpet that looks like this. I often like camellia blossoms rotting on the ground as much as I do blooming on the branch although they aren't bad this year either, are they?

For a lovely show of blossoms visit Tidewater Gardener: Bloom Day. 

 

If the first picture is to be my carpet how about this for my wallpaper? This pink fungus was on a tree at Magnolia Plantation Garden.

My company has gone and my little ranch house is quiet again. I took them for a last walk on Folly Beach before they left and here is my Dad looking like a proper lowcountry gentleman before he left. We enjoyed a hot bowl of she crab soup at Locklear's on the Folly Beach pier.  I had a quick escape this weekend and will get back to reality in the morning. I can't even imagine all that is waiting for me to deal with. I will report to work with my seat belt fastened!
