PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

N.C. Roadtrip 2010: Flora, Foliage, and Fruit

Bear with me folks. Work is a bit busy lately. Between catching up from one trip, preparing for the end of the Big J's fiscal year, and trying to get things in order for the NEXT roadtrip, plus being the only one in the office in my department, I'm a bit swamped AND I’ve got a blooming headache.

And so that is my segue for this post – the theme of the tropical flora, foliage, and the fruits of North Carolina.
Enjoy this photo assemblage. Textual ramblings one day soon.

l-r: Beach blossoms at Topsail Beach; The Bay at Topsail Beach; Carolina pines at The Farm; Strawberry harvest time; In for a landing on a Tiger Lily; Exotic Plants at a local nursery; Steel Magnolias? Nah, Soggy Magnolias; The bloom is almost off the Mimosa Tree Blooms
