 Warm for October 31st- comfortable for trick or treating, and a baseball game!

Last day for a late sunrise. It was close to 7:30am this morning! We will appreciate the extra hour of day light in the morning, but the 5pm darkness is depressing.Â
Happy Halloween from the shore 🙂
 I did a double take as I drove by this recent demolition on 88th Street.  A large Cape Cod style home previously occupied the spot. Now…just the living room fireplace stands! Impressive demolition skills.
I’m guessing someone wants to salvage the bricks??
   7pm- Wednesday night on 96th Street. Not another human or car in sight- just a skunk! They love this time of year 🙂

A funny blog about the cultural border between North and South Jersey:
The World Series is a perfect example of our divided loyalties! The “real” Jersey Shore is of course cheering for the Phillies!
 I mentioned during the summer that I was inspired to add to my 4 pieces of sea glass after seeing an attractive vase filled with glass at a friend’s house.
After just a few months, the vase on my kitchen counter is filled…now what? Do I ignore the smooth, frosted glass as I walk along the beach? Do I pass over the common brown glass for the preferred blue or green? And how many containers of sea glass are appropriate in a small house?
With collections, there is a fine line between interesting…and becoming a “cat lady” 😉
 SO dark in the morning. Sunrise today – 7:20am.Â
 The only advantage is that I can read the paper, eat breakfast, and still be out in time to watch the sunrise.
Lights from the dredge in the inlet, and the North Wildwood Lighthouse added to my view as I walked over the beach path…
 Beautiful fall sunset tonight.Â
Another reason to be jealous of the home owners along the bay. They have front row seats for the fire bright colors that linger even after the sun dips behind the marsh.
 Our weekend weather is starting off better than predicted. Warm and sunny for now.Â
Enjoy!
What a perfect day…
Tuesday I needed a fleece jacket and hat for my morning walk. On Wednesday, it was warm enough for kayaking on the bay.

Â
 I saw a surprising number of boats out Wednesday. Three were waiting for the 96th Street bridge to open. I was fine paddling under the closed bridge!

 Today’s sunrise- another pretty day 🙂
 Major dilemma…to climb over or under the yellow tape to get to the beach :)   Based on the foot prints on the sand, I am not the only one ignoring the signs!

 The Stone Harbor beaches south of 112th Street had some erosion, but no damage to their dunes. South of 123rd Street (the Hobie Cat beach) was hit hard, but the point area is fine. This picture was taken at high tide from the 123rd Street beach entrance- looking north.
A beautiful day today to be outdoors…and at the shore!
