We woke up this morning with no real plans for our day; just wanted to share a little bit more of our rural South Carolina area with "Y'all." Here's what we captured for your enjoyment.

7:45 a.m. Pepper met us at the top of the stairs with a bit of apprehension. It was all about our newest addition.

7:48 a.m. This is the new addition that Pepper is concerned about. She's afraid that Sissy may take her place in our hearts.

7:55 a.m. We're waiting for our first Blue Bird babies to appear. Momma and Daddy were very busy building the nest a couple of weeks ago.

7:59 a.m. Augusta National was beautiful during The Masters last week. We're only 45 miles away, and our Azaleas are really pretty, too.

8:40 a.m. There's a tree buried in our neighborhood pond. The turtles get on this one limb that sticks out into the water. South Carolina's version of the "Knock Less" turtle monster.

8:45 a.m. Momma goose is setting her eggs in her nest at the pond's edge.
9:48 a.m. Weather's great and the temperature is in the 70's and 80's. I'm thinking fishing is in order soon.

10:12 a.m. I won't be using this ramp. Too long and too steep for Corky to navigate. I think that the ramp at the State Park will do a lot better.

10:20 a.m. This old barn has always been a favorite of mine. I thought that you may enjoy it, too. Such a neat structure.

10:37 a.m. Right down the road from the old barn is this old burned down home. The bricks appear to have been hand made. I bet there's a story to be told here.
10:43 a.m. These two trees are in the meadow where the burned out home sits. I like the contrast between them and the trees in the background.

11:24 a.m. We've run our errands and are headed home. Here's a view of a slash pine stand that has been properly maintained and undercut. In another couple of years these pines will be ready for harvest.

11:37 a.m. Our Bonus Pic: This picture was taken on the road that leads back in to our house. I willing to bet that the antiques at Magnolia Acres aren't as old as the sign.

That's what we want to share with you this April 12, 2010. Thanks for joining us and we invite you to visit the other entries on Chad's 12 of 12.

Lovely 12 of 12 photos. I loved the bird house, the old barn and the row of trees. I also liked the picture of the puppy, what's not to like. I think your dog is really cute too. Anyway, thanks for sharing and I look forward to next months photos.

Road Ends..in water! That's a great sign, I like that.

Love the new addition, so very cute but I don't think Pepper will be replaced anytime soon :)
