Or else the color of the soil south of here in GA and AL and MS. yuck.
Heh! We have a red clay road here, it's been declared a scenic highway by the state...everyone always talks about how pretty it is.
Now you talk to someone from GA, AL or MS and they hate the red clay...

I like the red, but only for certain themes. I think it would look spectacular with some leaf litter and maybe a little red flint gravel sprinkled on top.
