we are in a severe drought with forecasts of rain thruout this morning that never was.. fire danger warnings keep on getting reposted both here in s/e NC in Brunswick County and across into SC.. not a good situation.. cloudy skies mostly every other morning that turn to mostly sunny skies in the afternoon.. hopefully they'll be a turn for the better and we'll see some rain as the forecast for tomorrow morning once again.. we shall see
just when all look good with our weather --and the cold temps were gone for the season-- this early morning's temps were at 42*F... not nice.. so much for the weather forecasts of mid 60's into the 80's for the afternoons.. rain is needed as there are still many fire hazard warnings still posted thruout our area both in North Carolina and into South Carolina

as soon as our family went back home the other day the temps rose with today at 77*F .. some clouds earlier but the rain that was in the forecast over the past three days and all day today was nowhere to be found- but we really do need the rain as there are numerous Fire Hazard Warnings posted from north of us in Wilmington and thruout Brunswick County thru south of us across into South Carolina in the Myrtle Beach area and beyond.. dangerous stuff
our nephew his wife and 3 kids were here visiting for the week.. they decided to rent a beach house on the water on Ocean Isle Beach.. to do those 'beachy' things.. including some surf fishing for the younger 9 year old boy.. they had a blast in that front row ocean house as we spent every day with them at the house.. lots of family fun.. they left for home flying back to Long Island, NY yesterday morning..
HAPPY EASTER for all those who celebrate .. may you have a most delightful and joyous day.. eat well today at the traditional Easter Dinner.. clouds with rain in the forecast later in the day.. family from Long Island NY are in town so a busy week for us running around here there and everywhere
be careful.. today is the day.. April 1.. April Fool's Day
and of course for those fisher-people out there a special knot just for you.. enjoy the tying.. catch-em-up😐
AND for all my friends who celebrate.. HAPPY PASSOVER.. starting at just before sundown tonite
for those of us who proudly served and were there-- Bien Hoa, Vietnam 1967-68 ..a big salute from this Vietnam Veteran to those who paid the ultimate price so we all can be free.. let there be peace on Earth😢
after many days this past week of heavy cloud cover in the early morning hours.. it was over to the beach at the Gazebo nearby the Pier.. the parking lot was over half full and many more peeps were out and about.. spring break for the colleges this week.. families also walking the beach.. 62*F with clear skies with some haze as the Sun made it thru at 708am.. temps later in the day up to 75*F.. a short Sunrise Video posted on My YouTube site at this link.. https://youtu.be/A_A6fyx9zaU?si=73tK5RGvfXtiHiWW
