They live in a quiet cove so lots of critters to enjoy verses being on the open water with lots of boat traffic.

Hopefully, you will have some sunny warmer days before fall sets in but I know that fall is just around the corner for you. That is an advantage of living in the south as well as the good foods!

It's always nice to have a gardening mentor in the family, not to mention the possibility of some free passalong plants:)<br /> <br />I don't know the names of a lot of plants, either, Skeeter, but living on a farm I learned the names of many weeds very quickly.

Even though NC is the home of great BBQ, you can get good Q in Va, inspite of what Randy said. If you are ever in Williamsburg, search out Pierce's.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-75851670946192159142009-08-02T14:39:59.753-05:002009-08-02T14:39:59.753-05:00Skeeter,

Don't tell Cameron but the Barbecue Joint in Chapel Hill has some really great food and the barbecue is pretty good too. Now I do have to say that no where in Virginia have I ever had even close to decent BBQ like our NC BBQ.
