Welcome to the Carolina Pines Realty Blog!!!!

Remember the song: Carolina in the Morning -- "Nothing can be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning.....??"
Happy New Year to our Family, Friends and Clients from beautiful North Carolina. As you can see we have some beautiful "Carolina Blue" skies today. Believe it or not it's going to be 74 here in Raleigh -- on January 7th!! Last week we had temperatures in the teens and today in the seventies.

Anyway - we would like to welcome you to the "official launching" of the Carolina Pines Realty blog.

The purpose of the Carolina Pines Realty Blog is to introduce you to life in North Carolina. Like our website www.carolinapinesrealty.com this blog will offer you links to various "information" concerning life in North Carolina, but will focus more on the recreational and fun side of living in North Carolina -- with highlights on the people, places and cultural aspect of life in the Triangle Area.

So -- sit back, grap a "cuppa" something -- and explore the Carolina Pines Realty blog. And make sure to BOOKMARK it and visit often as it will be updated daily.

And, to finish what I started, the song, Carolina in the Morning (in case you are interested) was written in 1922 by Kahn/Donaldson team. Believe it or not it was written for a broadway musical called The Passing Show of 1922 -- but it wasn't until Fred Mertz sang it in an episode of I Love Lucy that it became mainstream. Since then numerous artists such as Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Dinah Shore, Judy Garland, Bill Haley and the Comets have performed the song and it caught on like wildfire and has become a very "recognizeable" song -- even to the young 'uns.

Here's the words to chorus to refresh your memory:


  • Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning,
    No one could be sweeter than my sweetie when I meet her in the morning.
    Where the morning glories
    Twine around the door,
    Whispering pretty stories
    I long to hear once more.
    Strolling with my girlie where the dew is pearly early in the morning,
    Butterflies all flutter up and kiss each little buttercup at dawning,
    If I had Aladdin's lamp for only a day,
    I'd make a wish and here's what I'd say:
    Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning.
