Why Beaufort NC

Horses after the storm in Beaufort, NC. Family group of 5 (including the foal born in June!) hanging out on the Rachel Carson Reserve.

Was so happy to see the horses on my way home today! This family group was hanging out at Deep Creek on the Rachel Carson Reserve. A lot of folks have asked if they made it through the storm...they did! They go to high ground when the tides are in and shelter in the trees.

This is the family group that has the foal that was born back in June. She has gotten so big and it was so close to dark that I couldn't identify her from the others. Good that she is growing well!

The water was still enough to get some good reflections...love it when it is like that!

Little blue peeking through, the calm between the storms in Beaufort, NC during the october 2025 Nor'easter. Look how still the water is!

And this is why I call her Eileen! Meet Eileen, the one legged seagull!

Just after midnight high tide in Beaufort, NC during the Nor'easter, October 11/12, 2025. Not as bad as the morning high tide but we have had some wind and rain!

Really, magic weather predictor on my phone, is it really bad for running at 10:50 at night in a storm? I am SO glad I saw this before I laced up my sneakers! 🤣🤣🤣

While I love being out and about, a quiet evening at home is a wonderful thing. Especially on a rainy day like we are having. Lots of wind and rain this evening...it has howled a couple of times!

With both boys at friends' birthday parties, Amanda and I have the house to ourselves, except for the cats, who keep on stealing my recliners! I don't know what makes them think they are allowed to take over my favorite chairs, but for some reason Watson and Alastor have been loving them recently!

Cooked some turkey noodle soup, leftovers from the big bird we cooked a couple of weekends ago. I tell you, with weather like this, nothing beats a warm bowl (or three!) of soup! And I have lunches for the week!

Now some hockey (Go Canes!), a little work on the computer, and while I am not looking foward to going out to pick up Gabe from his friends house in this rain, I will proudly assume the dad-taxi role. (I guess the more more modern title would be dad-Uber!)

Not bad for a Saturday night!
