Spring??

Where has spring gone? It's warmer this morning than yesterday, but still the temperature is only in the upper 50s! Yesterday it was rainy as well as cold. Today it's just windy and cold.

But the forecast is calling for warmer temps later today, and for the rest of the week. One good thing about the unseasonably cool weather is that I didn't have much trouble staying inside and getting a lot of "paperwork" done yesterday.

It looks like Saturday will be just perfect for the annual Fireman's Ball. Hope to see you there!

Our latest Ocracoke Newsletter is a history of paved roads on Ocracoke. It may not sound very exciting, but there have been dramatic changes on the island because of the construction of paved roads a half century ago. You can read the newsletter, and see some rare photos here.
