Things are pretty quiet on the island right now. We are watching spring arrive, caring for our plants, and looking forward to the gradual resumption of storytelling events as the coming months approach.
When we are at home, though, we have several little rituals that are important to us each day. Here is one of them.
We check to see what time sunset is to be. Then, whether eating supper or watching a movie, we stop what we are doing about twenty minutes ahead of that time, back the convertible out of the garage, and take a ride exactly one mile down to the National Park parking lot on the Pamlico Sound. That is the best place to watch the sunset over the water of the Sound.
We have about 180 degrees of water view from this site and one of the things we watch is how the positioning of the sun migrates through the seasons of the year.
It is also very notable that every sunset is different from every other one.
Sometimes the layers of clouds are in charge; other times the sun is the owner of the sky. The water below always adds texture to our view.
Trish and I love our little sunset rides and marvel each day at our joy in living where we are privileged to live with one another.
