    Greetings From Catawba, South Carolina

    I woke early this morning so I could enjoy the beauty of a Catawba sunrise….as reddish orange as the clay that blankets the land.  This is a beautiful location……serene and quiet.  I’m relaxing on the spacious back porch of my father’s house.  …….hummingbirds ……. and an American Goldfinch……. Morning coffee with the folks…….relaxing……..visiting……enjoying life right now.
