Opinions
Waves on a conveyor belt, pushing toward the edge of the chilly coast.
Beach grass and other tangled, mangled seaside growth still crispy from the frosts of winter.
Summer won’t be here soon, but sooner is always better than later.
Cliches aside, the Atlantic shelters my always evolving sanctuary.
We’ll see summer soon enough.
But the OBX is always my Prime Time, no matter the season.
