Kudzu, peaches, and southern hospitality


KUDZU VINE:
[kood-zoo] 
noun

A fast growing Chinese and Japanese 
climbing vine, Puerarialobata,  of the legume family, now widespread in the southern U.S., having tuberous, starchy roots and stems: 
used for fiber, as food and forage, 
and to prevent soil erosion.



peach

 [peech] 
noun

the subacid, juicy, drupaceous fruit of a tree, Prunus persica, of the rose family.






SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY
[suhth-ern] [hos-pi-tal-i-tee]

 Is a phrase used in American English to 
describe the stereotype (albeit a positive one) that residents of the 
Southern United States are 
particularly warm and welcoming to visitors to their homes,
 or to the South in general.












Enough said.

  1. 99.99% of the time I see Olivia as a human being who is smarter than just about any other human being I know. Then I see pictures like this and it reminds me that she is still a cool little girl who experiences an innocent life through cool little girl glasses.

    Good gracious do I admire her :)
