What's outside your door?

One of the amazing things about the internet is the worldwide aspect.  My stats show people from all over the world viewing my posts- and I love that!  I'm communicating with people in Europe, Australia, and Asia!

I though it would be fun to talk about what it's like to live where I am, and have other bloggers share their locations as well.
This post is inspired by Elise Fallson's blog, a new blogger living in France, who was kind enough to give me another award!  Check out her blog and add her to your list.  I especially enjoyed here post on driving in Paris:)

Thanks for the award Elise!  (Since I just recently received this, I'm not going to follow the rules to pass it on and post facts on myself, especially since I'm running out of interesting things to say!)

Anyway, back to my idea on describing where I live:

I live in a small city in South Carolina, USA.  There's not a whole lot of things going on here, but it's only an hour from the beach, and other bigger cities that are fun to visit, like Charleston or Columbia.  I love the spring because there are explosions of flowers everywhere, like azaleas, wisteria, dogwood trees, and many other kinds I don't even know the names of.

The climate is fantasic too.  Mostly sunny and warm, but not unbearably hot like Miami.

That's an azalea from our bush out front.

We are also only a few hours from the Appalachian mountain range, which is beautiful to visit.  The people are sweet and well mannered, not ruined by big city mentality yet.  They still say, ma'am and sir, and hold the door open for you.  They like vinegar based barbeque pork (fabulous, by the way- with a little bit of heat), fried okra, grits, and seafood.

So what's your location like?  Feel free to leave long comments here or to post on it on your own blog.  I'll be sure and make a visit!
