Off my March porch

This is not my mountain porch, but my Hilton Head porch...note the Spanish moss on the trees. It is 6 am, so still dawn. Very quiet with just me and my cup of coffee. Birds calling in the distance, low tide in the marsh, no breeze today yet and very very humid. We had gorgeous weather yesterday.
when we left Blairsville, we got to Turner's Corner and all of a sudden there was sunlight! and blue skies. Except for last Saturday, it has been so overcast and gloomy in Blairsville 
that we have had to turn on the lights during the day in the house and I am considering Prozac. But all the way down, it was beautiful...and 84 in hilton head. It will not be as hot today and supposed to rain off and on most of the day so we will just make the most of it...we may be forced to go shopping if it is too rainy.


we brought Rachel Todd and Rachel Rabb. Both of them have never been to the beach except Savannah! I am not personally even sure that counts and they are in for a treat. Rachel Rabb's dad does not like sand, so they go hiking and mountain trips, no beaches. It is annoying to have sand in your butt crack, but I can't imagine not going to the beach!

There is something missing in this picture.... my early morning coffee buddy!

And just to make it perfect...when we stopped at Publix to get that great bread, the had bear claws! And not just one kind..apricot,almond...yum! goes great with my coffee and worth the consequences, I hope. 

Well, I am going to get dressed and drive to Barnes and Noble to get a book to read. and some magazines. It is hard for me to believe, but I haven't really read a book in over 5 months! Nothing has sparked my imagination, but also I have just been too busy it seems. Or maybe I have lived in blairsville too long.
