I just returned from a 4-day trip to North Carolina. My father moved there when he retired after teaching 30+ years in Illinois. His wife, Lynda, was originally from the Wake Forest area.
They built a home together on some land that includes this neat old barn. The barn is very distinctive now that the area is less rural and more developed.
The weather was springlike--lots of flowers, including this prickly pear cactus in bloom.
As usual, Dad and I took a short kayaking trip, this time on the Lumber River. The river was full of snags and debris for the first mile or so, and the last part of the trip flowed through the town of Lumberton. This kind of river lends itself to a mellow, leisurely pace.
