A New Year’s Poem

All the holiday decorations have been thrown into the attic without careNew Years

Glad to be done with the affair for another year.

Conjuring new stories of hunky heroes is foremost on my resolution list.

Here’s wishing everyone a Happy New Year filled with bliss.

Now you know why I don’t write poetry!  😉 Be safe and see you in the 2014!

Winter Lights at the Elizabethan Gardens in Manteo

Ever since The Elizabethan Gardens began a lighted Christmas tour I’ve wanted to see the Winter Lights in Manteo on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

Last weekend, my son and I met my sister-in-law, who lives on OBX, and took the tour. She said this year’s display is the best yet. Each year they continue to grow adding more decorations and lights. Like a kid in a candy store with camera in hand, I clicked away.

Click on the poinsettia tree to take a brief photo tour of the Winter Lights and the Manteo waterfront featuring the masted ship, the Elizabeth II and Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse. If you have a opportunity to visit the Outer Banks during the holiday season, the gardens are lit until December 30.
