I awoke early this morning, before dawn, and got up to feel the early morning air.  It's well into July, more than half gone as of today, yet I slept with the ac off and the windows open.  It's my habit getting ready for bed, to open the sliding door in the bedroom and check the outside temperature.  If it is cool enough the air conditioning is abandoned for the refreshing breezes off my little lake.  I know I sleep better that way.  For most of September, October, November, April, May and usual Junes I can do this routinely.  This June slammed most of the eastern half of the country with scorching days right off the bat.  We had a run of 100+ days in the first half of the month, but then, my niece got married on a Vermont hilltop in early June and although I missed the wedding, my son ... 07/15/2008

The Carolina is a public course in Whispering Pines, NC, just 3 or 4 miles from Pinehurst.  Designed by Arnold Palmer, The Carolina is a challenging course from any tee box, requiring fairly straight and accurate shots on a lot of the holes.  Back tees - about 7,000 yards (73.2/142), Mid tees - 6,500 (71.6/134), Men's tees - 6,000 (69.8/122).  Terrain is flat to slightly hilly.  Greens are tough and protected by hazards on a lot of holes.  This is a great course even if you are an average golfer like me, but unlike a lot of other Pinehurst area courses, balls hit into the woods are probably gone for good on most holes.  Hit the clubs that you hit the straightest.  Rates are very reasonable.  I played last Sunday afternoon for $45 including cart, and the fee is only $25 on weekdays after... 06/27/2008

It is no accident that the Master's is held in April.  Those glorious graceful dogwoods and vivid azaleas have been ruling the scene here for the last two-three weeks.  I hate to see the dogwood's green leaves start to appear, as it heralds the end of one of the most beautiful times of year here. Here's a shot of a beautiful pink dogwood, along with a white one and a bright red azalea. Schedule your next spring's Sandhills visit now, and come right around the middle of April for the peak dogwood season.Isn't this gorgeous? 04/20/2008
