Oriental, NC

When we return to the States, we always have chores we need to take care of....The lot is pretty overgrown.

 

But neighbor Jerry loaned us his lawn mower and we made quick work of picking up a winter's worth of fallen branches and pine cones.  All good now.  Thanks Jerry!  (We store our riding lawn mower in the hangar at home during the winter because we don't have a building to put it in at the lot.  We'll bring it back to Oriental next trip but nice that we didn't have to rush back for that purpose).


 The minivan is a mess....it has a patina of mold and lichen.  It does this every year.  We had a cover the first year, but that fell apart eventually.  The van is just so old that it's not worth the $300 to buy another cover. 

 

But with some elbow grease, it shines up pretty well!


That all took up most of the day.  We'll start unloading the boat tomorrow and head to Pittsboro.

  1. That sea to land transition was pretty abrupt. Sand to grass, boat to car. Not much of a slow transition

  2. I bet our car was a mess, too, even under its cover.
