Have not had any for many years. What a lovely adventure on the golf cart...I never knew about the "r" months for Oyster harvest...but I have never tasted an oyster either. Cold here, it froze two nights...barely hit 58 degrees as a high yesterday, hoping for 65 today...maybe.

I have not driven a golf cart in ages! I loved driving it and I wasn't golfing! We are having okra tonight . . . in our spaghetti sauce - per GN's request. We both like it, but I wouldn't add it unless she asked. I must confess to liking a chicken gizzard from time to time, but just boiled . . . you know . . . when you cook the giblets for making gravy. I haven't had one in a long time.

I think in pine forests here, it is the law for seedlings<br />of the pines to be cut, planted at some stage of the cycle.<br /><br />My stomach turned with that eating place. Fried Gizzard and your description of the oysters,<br />no thank you. As for the "hush puppies", well here hush puppies are a brand of casual foot wear<br />and I have never had a tasting desire for shoe eating. I'll leave that delight to the "pooches".<br />It is no wonder Paul got a stomach ache.<br /><br />I love our World famous Sydney Rock oysters, but those mud oysters that you so<br />brilliantly described - they can stay in the bloody paddy field mud.<br />Funny come to recall ( or think about it) - as I love fresh oysters, I did on quite a few<br />occasions darn near throw up when I ate US oysters - maybe they were what you describe<br />here??? And it was in the Carolinas ( N and S), Georgia and Louisiana States!<br /><br />Excellent reporting of your new location, much appreciated.<br />Colin (Brisbane. Australia)<br />PS: June 1st. First day of winter and still in shorts in the day time<br />but that for me won't last too long.Huggybearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517411617275367396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-84836652497767541982015-05-31T11:46:08.437-07:002015-05-31T11:46:08.437-07:00What great photos, the woods look amazing.
