We woke up this am to rain-top photo. We drove 40 miles to the other side of the Croatan national forest and are now camped at Cedar Point.
This afternoon the sun came back out and it was 70. Very humid after the rain. John walking on the boardwalk over the salt marsh to photograph the sunset.
There is about 2 miles of boardwalk and trail around the salt marsh. Sunset over the marsh.
I worked on the masterpiece some more, got most of the yellow stitching around the white beads. Rained most of the day. We got out between storms and did a 3 mile hike. We are close to the Camp Lejeune Marine air station here, they blow things up all day long. Some are so loud that the bus vibrates. Guess it is good to know that if they need to defend us they will be good shots.
A great egret in the salt marsh on our hike today. Another cool rainy day. John installed my pockets I made yesterday by my chair so I have more room for things.
The basket is coming along. It is about 11 inches by 1 inch. It is still raining, windy and in the 40's. We don't have much motivation to go outside. John wanted to go out this afternoon so we decided it might be fun to drive out to and along the barrier islands and see what is there.
Being in the 40's, windy and raining we didn't even want to get out of the car at the beach. The islands are about wide enough for three streets, they had mostly three rows of vacation beach houses, with a few beach souvenir stores, seafood restaurants, real estate agents in between. So on the way back we stopped at the specialty beer store-Harrika's Brew Haus and John got some fancy craft beers. He wanted this T-shirt, but already has more T shirts than will fit in the closet. He did get some of this Evil Twin, I always felt closer to IPA'S than I did to people beers. It is supposed to rain all day tomorrow too. . .
The basket is another inch taller and I am sewing some beads on it.
