Is there anything that says "spring has sprung" more than our beautiful azalea bushes?

Thanks for all the heartfelt emails delivered to my inbox related to the Father’s Day trip with my two sons to play golf at Pebble Beach.

The Good Book tells us it’s better to give than to receive, and this time of year there’s a lot of both going around. I’ve been giving this a good bit of thought recently. Not so much because it’s the season for giving but because of what appears to be the growth of another issue along with our burgeoning population. For more than 30 years, I’ve lived in West Ashley. We’re exploding right now, in many ways because it’s the only direction left for development.
