Another Pleasant Valley Sunday

First off--congratulations to my very FIRST follower (you brave soul, LOL!)---"Cottage By the Sea". Please contact me privately on how to get your little gift from my front porch to yours, okay?

To everybody else***happy happy Sunday y'all! It looks to be another gorgeous day here, in the SEVENTIES! Wow, I can hardly beleive it's "open up the windows, grab a sweater for the evenings on the beach, wear long pants instead of capris" weather again!

We will attend church services this morning and I'll enjoy cozying into a light shawl, wearing dark tights and black heels. The time has come to put away the white shoes, purses, skirts, seersucker, linen, etc. and break out the boots and the velvet!! LOL

Not sure where our daytripping adventures will whisk us off to  today, but we'll be toting our little portable grill and some lovely seasoned pork chops to cook outside! Thats why I named this post "another Pleasant Valley Sunday"---it was an old Monkees song that mentioned backyard charcoal grills didn't it?

TODAY'S PHOTO:

A scene I photographed a couple years ago, at the Cherry Grove pier. Its a nice pier--a double decker you can climb upstairs on, for an even better view.

Where is your favorite pier?

And a Wonderful Saturday It Is!

Breezy, sunny, wonderful day on the coast! Not too hot, not too cold. Hope everybody is enjoying their Saturday as well!


Todays Photo:



Some of the Holy Citys most gorgeous piazzas along the Battery!

These historic homes look like big tall double decker wedding cakes to me!

Everybody enjoy your own Saturday adventures!

Welcome to my friendly southern front porch!

Welcome to my brand new blog--featuring plenty of tidbits and photos of my Lowcountry adventures! There is so much to see and do here! So pour yourself a big frosty glass of southern SWEET TEA and come along as I visit interesting local places!

The photo above is another flaming Pawleys Island sunset, taken down @ the South end of the island. Its a wonderful place to put your lawn chair, read a good book, sip your sweet tea or an ice cold "Co-Cola", and watch the sun sink lower and lower. We have enjoyed many sunset picnics there as well.
The South end is just a magical place...the ocean waves are beautiful and the creek side is beautiful as well! We swim in the creek alot, as it is warm and shallow clear up through the Fall months, but you do have to watch out for the occasional jellyfish!
Pawleys is also a great place for bicycling, walking, and surfing. Its a much slower pace than the neon and bright lights of the Myrtle Beach area, and there are no high rise hotels or condos on the beach. May be one reason there are so many loggerhead turtle nests along the Pawleys dunes.
If you're looking for a slower change of pace, and a quieter beach experience, Pawleys is for you.
