What to Watch Today
- Bridge lifts & horn salutes: listen for the three-long, two-short Ambassador Salute when ships greet the bridge.
- Ship IDs: look for hull color, self-unloader booms, and crane count to tell Lakers from salties.
- Wind & waves: easterlies kick up waves at the canal — dramatic entries & spray.

Hi Angelin! We got up early this morning and after breakfast Craig and I drove to Creekside Nursery in Dallas, NC. Today was their opening day for their 2026 season. We bought a number of plants to add to our landscape 😊 We’re almost back home in Charlotte now.
Hi Kathy! That was fun picking out plants. When you
get the yard all spiffy, take a pic for us to enjoy.
Glad you found plants Kathy
