I love how we southerners have short term memory... it's gets pretty danged cold here in VA.. but we forget that every year! Maybe the humidity in the summer knocks out a few cells!

I'm one of the rare Southerners who don't bitch about the heat in the summer. I love it. Of course, this is my first day experiencing the cold that's blanketing the South. I just spent 8 glorious days in SoCal where it was 70 degrees every day.

The smell of honeysuckle in the Spring. That and the magnolias blooming.

That's what I love about the South.

I just met a lovely older lady who is my neighbor. We discussed our cats. It's 64 degrees and just one gorgeous day. I was perusing seed packets at the grocery store (I'll buy seedlings from a local nursery though and this year, I'll heed the wild Dylan call and not use Miracle Grow).

I am happy to be home in the South again. I like the pace. I like the sound of people who talk like me. I like it here. It's home.

This weekend christie and I went looking for a new LR suite. We have a great small but upper end furniture store in town. They do not have on hand the suite we want to purchase, but as it turns out the owner has it in her house.
At her insistence, she puts a "gone to lunch" sign in the door, we pile into her car and off we go to her house.
We purchased the set and an awesome distressed leather recliner at cost ( this is even sans shipping.. I have no idea how she makes a profit) and she came by our house later to see it. The house, that is. We had previously purchased a great loveseat for our upstairs den.
During our adventure with her we learned that her daughters Girl Scout troop does monthly backpacks of single serving foods for local kids. We stopped by the grocers and picked up 48 ct of about eight different items to donate. I will be trying to see about volunteering to help them out.

This is a small part of what I love about this backwards, hillbilly, lovely little town.
