South Carolina // 2014

by Ashley Weeks Cart

We arrived home yesterday afternoon to 16 peeping chicks (which had arrived early and were fortunately rescued from the post office on a Sunday afternoon and set up chez Cart by our dear friend Justine) and a laundry room turned jungle thanks to abundant vegetable seedling growth. After unpacking and laundry and groceries, we set to work transplanting seedlings and mulching flower beds and turning compost into the soil and, most importantly, snuggling the brand new baby chicks. It may sound cliché, but I loved getting settled in back home by physically reconnecting with the place and the life that makes it tick.

More on that and our past 10 days of adventure later. I do have this short video of our trip to South Carolina. It’s our first attempt at live video during vacation, but was a fun and different way to capture our time with James’ family. It’s good to be home, but it was nice to get away!
