We have had wonderful weather here on the Outer Banks this week. The daffodils are in bloom, the live oaks have shed their leaves and many of the hard wood trees have a red tinge to them, a sure sign of spring and a promise of green to come. This time of year is very busy. Businesses are reopening for the season, home owners are down to prepare their homes for the rental season and folks like me are busy in their yards cleaning up and preparing for the season to come. It’s hard to stay inside. It’s hard to remember this is volatile time of year and that the weather can change at the drop of a hat. The most destructive storms to hit the Outer Banks have happened in the fall and spring, the times of transition. I love this time of year on the Outer Banks. The beaches are still wide open and there is still a sense of quiet not the hubbub noisy feel of the tourist season. Well I’m off to the yard the weather is getting ready to change. There is a promise of much needed rain and then the temperature is expected to fall.
