Seashore double vision- the bay front homes reflecting off of the calm water in the early morning sun.
Took advantage of our summer like weather and kayaked for the 1st time this season. Very peaceful…
No boat traffic or bugs…but the bay is still cold. I stay close to the docks in the event of an oops!
What an [...]
Parking meters in the business district of Stone Harbor are in, and will be operating as of May 1st (the 2 blinking traffic lights on the island will be turned on the same day- watch out!)
What a weekend. It feels like July.
The distinct sound of outside showers; hearing noise on our street while sleeping with the [...]
Beautiful morning… and warmer temperatures expected this weekend
The dophins were swimming by during my walk- glad to see them back for the season!
Unrelated info- I was driving behind a plumber’s truck today and loved their bold mission statement: “Our technicians smell good”- how funny…
I read an article in today’s paper about the relevance of Earth Day – “has it outlived its usefulness and potentially become more of a feel-good token symbol…”, and was thinking about this as I approached the beach path for my morning walk.
Unfortunately, it didn’t take me long to mentally draft this post after spotting the deflated [...]
Back to work for me…but another beautiful “beach day” in April. People are out taking advantage of the warm weather- should be a great weekend.
In response to my “1st Beach Day” post, my daughter in law sent me a picture of their “beach day” in Colorado- several feet of snow!
Well…sort of. The beach chair was there, along with a good book. Wearing jeans and a fleece jacket though. But the sun felt great. April is so fickle…
One “pet peeve”- literally: dogs with poorly trained owners. Saw two incidents just today: a dog chasing and running in front of the police vehicle patrolling the beach [...]
The sun is finally back out after several days of rain.
In February, we long for April. But the reality of our east coast spring looks more like this picture taken yesterday.
The gusts of wind on Stone Harbor Blvd had to be close to 60 mph!
Always wondered how the year round residents along the boulevard cope with the [...]
Worth the effort to walk or bike ride to the bay side public area located on the Avalon/ Stone Harbor border (between 80th and 82nd Streets) - at least to watch a sunset, or two.
There is a boat launch adjacent to the (free) parking lot, plus plenty of room to fish along the bulkhead.
Or, just sit in the gazebo and enjoy [...]
Not your traditional Easter activities…but the shore is a unique environment.
This kite surfer appreciated today’s high winds and rough ocean; jumping waves and flying through the air. Fun to watch.
Also saw a couple hiding colorful plastic eggs near the bird watching platform at the point in Stone Harbor (for a family Easter Egg hunt tomorrow, they said). Wonder if the wildlife will find the treats inside [...]

I know many owners post their rental properties on Craig’s List for the added exposure- and I guess fraud follows what’s popular (see attached article from The Press).
When traveling and looking to rent a house, I like to search on line, but prefer to talk with a live person about the property- ideally an established agent [...]
