The Carolina sky is big and beautiful; sometimes a deep azure and no clouds. Every morning I am thankful to my Creator for His awesome Love, and how He has blessed the Southern Hemisphere with such wonder. Azaleas, full of color and many hues of pinks, reds and white blossoms in the springtime is a feast for the eyes.

In the summertime the heat is unbearably humid, and the Carolinians are grateful for indoor air conditioning

Outside my bedroom window is the towering Loquat Tree; it shades the sun from filtering heat into my room. Down below from my window, I can see the grey, stone bird bath that is in the shape of a large sea shell. Many pretty birds gather around the base. In the early morning, the Doves gather around the garden lawn. The Wren is the State bird and the Yellow Jasmine is the State flower. Cardinals and Blue Jays, Blue birds, yellow birds, and Red birds sometimes gather at the garden too. There is also the Chickadee, and the Tit Mouse which is a very small bird, resembling the Oriole.

There are many places to retreat too in South Carolina, to get away from a hectic day, but my favorite spot is through my bedroom window and I just sit and do some Carolina Dreamin'
