OBX Vacation

down the beachI did a post a long time ago about the Outer Banks of North Carolina more about purchasing a home or condo but here I want to tell you more about the vacation time, what we have done there and why we like the OBX (Outer Banks) time away.

Pond Toads and Dragon Flies

pond toads and eggsWith a little bit of warm weather wild life begins to start. I know we have been talking about the geese in the past couple posts but we’ll leave them alone, sitting on the eggs this week.
