The sun and I rose at the same time this morning. I grabbed my phone and took the above. The sun just kept on rising.
This house and our condo are both about the view. Carol has observed that the view here is usually static, like looking at a painting, while the view from the condo is alive. In part that is because here we are looking at greater distance and there are few people. The clouds and shadows change as does the angle of light and it is very quiet. From the condo water ripples, Spanish moss and live oaks sway, squirrels and small birds flit about, egrets and herons wade and hunt in the spartina, pelicans glide, boats are underway, people walk the docks.
Both views are beautiful and the differences appreciated.
We are taking short walks. Short because the roads end not far away and are nearly vertical. I exaggerate, but they are steep and challenging for those of us who are used to sea level flat land.

Did you choose 10 days away from Skull Creek because of Erin's building threat, or did it just work out that way?
Good Luck!
Erin played no part and was never forecast to have much effect on Hilton Head. Carol planned this far in advance both to break the summer heat in the marsh and to celebrate our 31st wedding anniversary which we did two days ago.
any sailing in the future.
A good question. Thanks for asking. The answer is ‘yes’. I’ll elaborate in a journal post.
