What Do You LOVE About SoWal?

[Gidget]

I LOVE fall here...

Easy to love it! Hey, do they ever have bon fires when the weather turns cooler? Seems like that would be very neat.

Thanks for posting!

Actually, in November it's gets even better, clearer, cooler. October still has some hot muggy days. (Dec. and Jan. seems a bit cold and rainy). I far as I know, you can still have bonfires, but you have to get a permit and there are rules. I thought I heard talk that bonfires were going to be banned altogether, but could have been just a rumor.

I love that I love rainy days in SoWal as much as sunny days.

I love that at this very moment I'm on my back porch watching the dolphins swim by, fishermen are out in their boats having a leisurely day, and a new bride and groom are getting their photographs taken over there on the Eden Gardens dock.

I went to my first beach bonfire and it was awesome!!! I can see where that will be a new LOVE on my list!

So now I am experiencing December in the area. I so love it!

It brings to mind this quote about this time of year - see if you agree.

[FONT=georgia, bookman old style, palatino linotype, book antiqua, palatino, trebuchet ms, helvetica, garamond, sans-serif, arial, verdana, avante garde, century gothic, comic sans ms, times, times new roman, serif]There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you.... In spring, summer and fall people sort of have an open season on each other; only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer, quiet stretches when you can savor belonging to yourself. ~Ruth Stout

I would replace "in the country" with "on the beach" to really hit home. Here's a few pics I've taken this season starting November. I'd love to see yours.

Been a long time since I've come to this thread.

I have another thing to post on why I love it here.

The PEOPLE!

You guys are great at getting everyone involved and showing us newbies the way to do it!

Thanks!

PS Looked back on all the comments. Wonderful thread folks. Thanks so much for posting.

I love this post and I've spent so much time reading and stressing over the oil spill that it was really nice to re-read something so postive, thanks for bumping it back to the top Gidget!

I came back to destress too! I needed a happy place this evening and against better judgment I came here!
