I have written a post Winter in the Marsh using the new ghost blogging platform.  To read the post click the picture or the link.  I hope to write an article  on what I think about using Markdown for blogging.  http://ow.ly/rLEQd

Along with our family Thanksgiving guests, a big storm has brought us wind and rain.   Hopefully the cold following the low’s exit will leave our fall and winter garden alone. For more details and links to pictures of the garden click the picture or the link  http://ow.ly/rfLK5

Here on North Carolina’s Crystal Coast we do not put our boats away after Labor Day.  We have a long season after that and some of us boat every month of the year. For more info, click the picture or the link.  #boating #CrystalCoast http://ow.ly/qY6zn
