First Born

It’s been a week coming. The labor has been intense at times with hot flashes and sweat.

There were times of worry but in the end it all worked out.

When I saw the photograph the other day you could make out a little eye.

I am so proud of mother North Carolina giving birth to the season’s first tropical depression.

Now go little one and harass Bermuda, Boston or Nova Scotia.

Soupy summer in the southeast is upon us.
