Sister Johnson checks out the eggplants

Most everyone here in the South has a garden.  So wherever we go, Sister Johnson always checks out what's growing.  This always gives her something to talk about with whomever we're visiting.  This is a raised garden bed at the home of some members in Columbus, MS.

I think we could live down here, if:

1.  All the grandkids were close
2.  We could have 20 acres and a nice home in the country with:
     a.  a cow pasture
     b.  a pecan orchard
     c.  a catfish pond
     d.  a riding lawnmower
     e.  a chicken coop
     f.  a deer, hog, and turkey blind
3.  It didn't get any hotter or more humid than we've seen so far.  Only a couple days
     that it's been oppressive, but I understand that July and August are the months that
     it gets nearly unbearable.

So for the time being, we're content just to visit here.
