On Saturday, we caught our first glimpse of a young eaglet over on our eagle nest. This makes the eighth consecutive year that a pair of nesting bald eagles has hatched at least one youngster. The above photo is from 2017. In 2012, we were so surprised when a pair of Bald Eagles made their […]

I’ve been experimenting with some food delivery options to the island recently, and so far my favorite is The Bounty Box. This is a collaborative effort with local and regional farmers, and you sign up to join. (You are not committed to weekly deliveries if that doesn’t work for you~ no worries.) In fact, if […]
If you don’t live locally, you may have missed the conversations about Crab Bank, right off of Shem Creek.

A week ago, I was in the middle of writing a leisurely post about how relieved we were NOT to have to pack up and evacuate for Florence when everything went awry with the forecasts and the governor ordered an evacuation. I’ll eventually finish that one, which explains all of the hurricane preparations we go […]

Local author Signe Pike released her new book today, and I got an advanced reader copy and LOVED it! Our island friends over at Buxton Books hosted a launch party for her on Sunday night.
