Living in low country

So many new things to see, to learn, to experience, to love, and unfortunately, to not like ...

They have over here, a different kind of grapes that are so amazing I thought I was in paradise. They are called muscadines, or some call them scuppernongs. I first saw them at the farmer's market outside my work place. I bought some and tried them and my taste buds went crazy! And this morning I decided to go to the real farmers market at the town square and got more, plus other vegetables for the week. There are different ways to eat them. Johnna from http://www.mamadukesfarm.com/2/post/2011/08/traded-eggs-for-muscadines-today.html teaches you how to eat them. When I first tried them, I ate everything except the seeds, by now I discard the skins and seeds. I had trouble uploading a photo I took so I guess you can google the grapes.

And the mocking birds, they are everywhere. You cannot really miss them with their distinct and loud voice.

What else to do on this beautiful Saturday? The beach came to my mind, so I guess if I am not too lazy I will drive down to the beach then. Maybe I will get to see the dolphins if I am lucky enough.

Bye Summer


Hello Fall! I am in a quaint tourist town right now. I like this place so far. It is full of history with magnificent old buildings. It is located near the ocean so there are miles and miles of beach to explore. The weather has been nice, mostly in the 70s, but it gets hot when the breeze takes a break, and nobody is complaining. In order to get to downtown, I have to cross one of the many bridges that connect the center point. And twice a day, the sight that greets me in doing that is awesome. I am truly blessed to be here. I pray that the World keeps watching over me.
