We'd go out into the salt marsh and dig our own oysters, then dig out a hole in the ground, where we'd start our fire. When the fire burned down a bit, we'd then lay a sheet of 1/4 inch sheet metal over the fire pit, shovel those oysters on top and then cover them with water soaked burlap bags to steam. When the oysters were ready, they'd pop open and we'd load them with shovels onto newspaper-draped picnic tables and dig in!!!! I've never enjoyed raw oysters, tho many folks do, but I can eat my weight in steamed, baked or fried ones!!

Autumn is also the best, very best, time for sleeping!! I can soooo get a good night's sleep during the Autumn months!!

Oh yeah.....FALL!!!!!

Bring it.

Theo...I so miss those oyster roasts, too! In Beaufort, though.
I make "lowcountry boil" OR "frogmore stew" often! Nothing like lowcountry.....best place in da world!!

My absolute favorite time is dusk on an autumn day. I live in the mountains so there are fireflies and frogs and crickets and all kinds of night sounds. It's cool and dark is falling and you can just sit outside and soak it all in.
