“Pumpkins and Mums”
“Is it hard to find fall pumpkins in Savannah? Not at all! There are tent sales, grocery displays, and even pumpkin patches nearby. Madrac Farms in Rincon, Georgia, which is not far from the commuting town I live in, grows Orange Bulldog Pumpkins, developed by the University of Georgia to…

“Peaches in a Bowl”
“Georgia peaches are genuinely loved in this state. Peaches are everywhere- on license plates, on signs, and at roadside stands (when in season). There’s peach tea, pie, cookies, cobblers and of course the peaches as they are. They are a pretty fruit and incredibly juicy. Peaches happen to be my…

“Gator and Snake”
“We get gators in the lagoon behind our house. Trapper John came out and removed a big alligator using a pole, his bare hands, and duct tape. I watched the adventure from inside the house, through the glass patio doors. When the gator was safely bound and loaded onto the…

“Living Sand Dollar”
“I saw this living sand dollar in the touch pool at the Marine Science Center, but I’ve also seen many sand dollars at the beach. The living ones are dark and pop through the sand during low tide. We are not meant to take those, as removing them from the…

“Savannah loves music. Live music is a vibrant part of the city’s lifestyle, from the famous to the new, Savannah offers concerts, festivals and even small gatherings in homes. Churches also offer a variety of music, from traditional organ and piano hymn arrangements, to contemporary songs featuring electric instruments from…
