09/14 The Title of This Post Is “Potpourri” in My Best Alex Trebek Voice
This, my inaugural round up, was nearly spoiled by the weather. It’s been such a gorgeous day that it seems everyone decided to go play outside instead of writing blog posts.

And since a round up is judged on its quality and not is quantity, this might just be the best one the Low Country has seen yet. Personally, I’ll be happy to take the credit even though I didn’t do any of the work.
