Back from the Outer Banks
I just got back from Bogue Banks, NC and a 3 day, 2 night environmental field trip with my daughter Callie.
She and her 4th and 5th grade classmates experienced first hand the plant and animal life in the ocean, the sound, the brackish pond, and the maritime forest.
The camp and its setting were unbelievably gorgeous. Had I not been sleeping in a cabin with 9 girls and 1 bathroom, I might have stayed longer!
Highlights were dissecting a squid, studying sea turtles, and wading in the sound. The environmental education extended to learning about food waste and composting at meals.
Both of my girls are students at our local charter school, New Dimensions School. We are very fortunate to have excellent choices in education, which makes introducing newcomers to Morganton, NC and real estate here much easier!

Happy St. Patrick's Day
Happy St. Patrick's Day from Morganton, NC! I've been busy getting ready for tonight's festivities. We're having corned beef, lamb, colcannon, pickled beets, mashed turnips, potatoes, parsnips, carrots, rutabagas with caramelized onions, scones and bread pudding for dessert.
There have been several leprechaun sightings around town. Keep your eyes open, you never know where he's going to show up.
E-mail and let me know what you're doing to celebrate!

The weatherman says rain this weekend for Morganton, NC. He advised to plan to stay inside and snuggle up by the fireplace. The daffodils are blooming here. It won't be long until we have tulips and beautiful green lawns. All thanks to the gentle falling rain.

Burke County has been taken out of the extreme drought designation. We are thankful for all the rain our area has received lately. This is great news for farmers and ranchers in our area. Normal rainfall helps to stablize food prices.
Doug says the Henry River, which runs through his ranch, is running clear and deep.

Morganton was blessed with a beautiful snowfall last night. The children were out of school, of course. I discovered that kids aren't the only ones who experience snow for the first time. This puppy, named Ginger, saw her first snow. She had felt grass under her feet just a few months ago. She didn't know what to make of this strange white stuff.
