11/4/20: The Gorgeous Weather Continues

Today was a short day for us, leaving little Coinjock Marina around 11 a.m. and arriving at even littler Alligator River Marina around 2:30 p.m. It is very quiet in this part of North Carolina. Election? What election? 

I can already hear all you seasoned boaters at the idea of a 30-mile day: WIMPS!! But you know, we have nowhere we have to be at any certain time. And it was a gorgeous day. We enjoyed every minute on the water, and with good reason. We cruised down the North River and across Albemarle Sound under full sun, blue skies and calm winds. Those of you who know these waters know that was a gift. We say "thank you."

Such beauty, just out the door of Oasis at the nearly empty Alligator River Marina.

This is one of my favorite boating-related photos ever, mainly because it is of North Carolina's Albemarle Sound, a body of water that has never been kind to us. We have crossed it in rain, through choppy waves and blustery wind. Until this day, we didn't know it could look like this. It was a delight.

A great crossing of Albemarle Sound must have agreed with us!

Doors of Williamsburg

Image
I've always enjoyed the late fall and Christmas season in Williamsburg's historic district. The streets and byways are quieter. The houses and other buildings take on almost a sculptural quality as the trees lose their dense leaf cover and views stretch further than during any other season. But mostly I like the doors. Well, not the door itself (although I do appreciate those old latches, hinges and door knockers). It's the beautiful, organic holiday decor that catches my eye. Every year a fresh batch of gorgeous wreaths are created from real materials -- fir boughs, magnolia leaves and pods, dried flowers, wheat, cotton, shells, pine cones and fresh fruit including apples, lemons, oranges and cranberries. No plastic and polyester here. Even these natural-based wreaths are far more decorative than an 18th century local would have seen. But in our twinkle light and tinsel-encrusted world, they are a lovely change of pace.

Jamestown Revisited

We revisited one of our favorite historic haunts -- Jamestown -- and found it as fascinating as ever. Jamestown was established more than 400 years ago as the first permanent English settlement in the New World. But it's only been in the past 25 years that its secrets and treasures have come to light. Archaeologists began actively digging in the mid-90s to determine the location of the original fort that housed those first intrepid newcomers. Prior to that the assumption was the York River had swallowed all remains of the fabled site. That assumption would prove wrong. A handful of determined archaeologists discovered the outline of the wooden palisade by the presence of "stained" soil, indicating the location of post holes. That crude, high wooden fence surrounded the fort and today is reproduced so you can see just how small this first settlement was. Rustic buildings such as a barracks, a communal storeroom, the first of several church buildings and a graveyard were sn

6/14/21: A Visit to Brookside Gardens

Image
No season is complete without a visit to a botanical garden. On the cusp of summer, we finally made the 40 minute drive from Baltimore to Maryland's beautiful Montgomery County to see the even more beautiful Brookside Gardens. Many botanical gardens are part of historic properties or estates owned by the well to do that are in turn generously shared with the rest of us. Best I can glean, Brookside Gardens was instead the result of a community effort to create a formal garden open to the public on land once owned by a landscape nursery. It's a lovely garden and obviously an integral part of many local residents' day to day routine as they take their regular turn through one well-designed garden room after another. The butterflies, bees and cicadas were happy, too. Enjoy the photos!
