Sunday dawned clear, cold and VERY windy. I had been planning for a week to head to Lake Mattamuskeet to see if the swan migration was in progress, but as I listened to the wind howling, I almost decided not to go. Then I remembered that I had been a northern gal WAY longer than […]

Sitting in the living room with my first cup of coffee this morning, I noticed a bluebird on the birdbath. Bluebirds are common here in North Carolina and it was not an unusual sight except that the temperature has really dipped downward in the last few days so the birdbath water was frozen solid. There […]

When purchasing a spec house, many folks change a few things to make the house more distinctively their home. Two years ago, we moved from the sticks in Maine to a spec house in North Carolina. Mr. B & I had built our last two homes in Maine and everything was customized to our likes […]

Snow – what?? We are in eastern North Carolina. The Arctic blast of cold that brought snow and icy cold temps to the Midwest and Northeast didn’t stop there. It kept coming southeast. Yesterday, Mr. B wore shorts. Actually, he is wearing them today too but I bet he doesn’t go to Lowe’s with them […]

We were welcomed aboard the Lady Swan, a catamaran-style, open-air passenger vessel, at Hammocks Beach State Park by Sam Bland, retired state park ranger, park superintendent and now […]

The Erie Canal reopened on the 17th of July and being closed to through traffic for about a month due to flooding and lock damage earlier in the month. Rumors ran rampant during the closing. Many said that the canal would not be able to open this summer. Many of the boats that could get […]

For those of you that haven’t heard, the Erie Canal has been closed for a good part of the last month due to high water caused by flooding in upstate New York. Many of the locks were damaged by the floods. Slowly, things are being repaired and reopened in places but the closures have left […]

We arrived at the Great Kills Yacht Club on Staten Island on Saturday, June 22. The last part of our ocean traveling was behind us and it had been a good day for it. The yacht club was pretty much destroyed by hurricane Sandy. Everything, boats and docks alike were washed up on land. The […]
