"Got an acre of tall pines! Down here folks aren't afraid to talk about God on the radio or anywhere, it's quite refreshing."
Lucky you having the tall pines. Be careful of pine beetles, though. We lost 47 trees to hurricanes in 2004, and 48 trees to pine beetles. We see dead trees all around us too.
Yes, you are in the Bible belt where you are. It's a wonderful place to be. It can be frustrating, though, if you are used to doing business on Sundays. If it's a small town, most/all businesses close up shop then.
Most places open after church, after about 1 o'clock, some are closed. The pace of life is much slower down here, no one is in a hurry but we'll just slow down ourselves and enjoy it.
btw, do the pine beetles look like other beetles? How will we know if we have them.
We have lots of toads, LOL.
