Thank you for your comments everyone. I was out and about all day and finally got a chance to stop by. And guess what Sandy, I’ve only seen a couple snakes, both were more afraid of me than the other way around!

I’m a native Texas, have lived all over, but the South is in my blood. I always feel more at home when making my home in the southern states.

Hildie, you described the south wonderfully. Born and grew up in Georgia, and I’ve never really wanted to live anywhere else (well, I did get a wild notion about Alaska once, but that’s another story). I like middle Georgia. A few hours north and I’m in the mountains and a few south, it’s the ocean. Love it.

Hildie-

A great description of the South. I’m a transplanted Northern. I love the wide open spaces,the leisurely pace and the short winters of the South. I never pictured myself living here, but now, I wouldn’t be anywhere else.

I’m so a southerner through and through. Even if I want to be something else my accent would give me away.

The south definitely has a look and feel all of its own.

It’s kind of ironic that Atlanta is the one place I told my ex I never wanted to live so of course that’s exactly where his job brought us. Even when we got divorced it wasn’t easy to leave because of the kids. But now I’m so glad we stayed. I do love living in the south! Thank you for your beautiful post!

What a great summary of the South, Hildie! My grands will be thrilled to hear that mac & cheese is actually a vegetable, LOL, but its so true Hmmm, maybe it should be the state vegetable

Loved the article. Since my first 11 years were in N.C. before moving to California until 8 years ago, I knew about “the South” before I moved to Georgia. I absolutely love it here….well, except for one thing. According to something I read a few years ago…on the west coast the ratio of harmless snakes to “Bad” ones is 80% harmless to 20% “bad”. On the east coast, it’s reversed.

When we moved here 8 years ago, I promised to leave them alone if they’d leave me alone and, so far, we’re doing great!
