Dutch Pimp, I'm glad this thread was revived, and I hope it gets more attention. It's nice just to sit back on a porch and visit awhile; seeing as how this board doesn't really have a porch, hopefully folks will find this thread to be such a gathering place.

I used to live in North Mississippi, out in the country a bit, and it was pretty darn nice. I hope to one day have a nice piece of land, so I can retreat to the peace and quiet (cicadas, crickets, and tree frogs aside). I've traveled through the mountains of Tennesee over to North Carolina a few times, and there is some really nice country up in those mountains.

I've attached a photo taken from not far from home, back around the start of the New Year. I've made it my background for now - it's pretty relaxing to me. I've also taken a picture of 1 of my dogs, rolling around on her back by the pool - pretty much sums up my Summer - hanging by the pool and basking in the sun as much as possible (of course, having plenty of spf 50 on).

I hope the rest of your Summer is good, and that you have some cool breezes come your way, my friend!
