Day 18 of Walkabout

Hello Everyone,

Yesterday October 3, 2006 was day 18 of the walkabout. I traveled south to Tatum, S.Carolina. It is a small farm town near Bennetsville. The country side was very pretty with a variation of crops and live stock. There were mostly cotton fields in the area I went thru. The cotton plants grow to about knee high and have pods on them. At the end of the growth cycle the pods burst open exposing the raw puffs of cotton. A very beautiful sight! In the pictures above you'll see a picture of the soil down through out North & South Carolina. It's different shades of an orange/red color like bricks. I also took a picture of my 1st Piggly Wiggly food store!! LOL They really do exist!!

I also saw a wild looking cactus in a front yard. I had to stop and take a picture of it. I haven't seen such a big cactus since I was out in Arizona back in 2001.

I'm getting ready to go to Williamsburg, VA this up coming weekend. Barbara H. & I are going to Busch Gardens.

A side note for the folks back home....I was thinking of the Topsfield Fair today. The fair is running this week. For those who I didn't drag up there with me at one time or another (lol)...it is a wonderful Fall activity. It's a true country fair with many great sights, food, animals, rides, games, and entertainment acts.

Well folks, I think I'll be going now....Take Care and enjoy life!! Love Donna
