What's in a name?

If you want to keep people away, choose names like “dismal” or “alligator” or “mosquito”. They will not come. 

So far, the Dismal Swamp entrance is just beautiful. The Pasquotank River is as still as it can be, with just a light breeze. The trees grow right out of the water - remember, a marsh has grass and a swamp has trees. They are lovely at this time of year.

We’re just moving along. I’ve got a chicken breast in the crock pot with hopes of making green chicken enchiladas for supper tonight. We have several leftovers plus pimento cheese in the fridge for lunch. And we still have some excellent chocolate cake from the Spoon River Restaurant in Belhaven for afternoon snack. 

It’s always Spring on this trip. It’s been Spring since we left Florida and started heading north, following the mild weather, the flowers and the new leaves. 

That’s about it; couldn’t be better.
