A knot in the big tree in the “dog park,” an abandoned fenced-in lot behind my building.

Breakfast date with my love at a little roadside German diner/fudgeaterium in Sanford on the way to the airport.

Adorable niece the eldest.

Eastern North Carolina style chopped BBQ, aka pig, at The Pit in Raleigh.
And fried pimento cheese. Yum.
