 Seashore double vision- the bay front homes reflecting off of the calm water in the early morning sun.Â
Took advantage of our summer like weather and kayaked for the 1st time this season.   Very peaceful…
Â
 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 odd month- record rain fall, freezing temperatures, severe thunderstorms, a nor’easter or 2, and now a heat wave. Â
Celebrate May at the Stone Harbor Boat & Craft Show next weekend. All day Saturday and Sunday along 96th Street- food and music, too.
 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!)
 The distinct sound of  outside showers; hearing noise on our street while sleeping with the windows open (versus the silence of winter!); geese flying north; the return of the die-hard surfers (they call themselves the 110 Surf Crew); and defensive driving on my “commute” to work around the numerous walkers and bicyclists. All definite signs of summer 🙂
 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.
 The sun is finally back out after several days of rain.
 Not your traditional Easter activities…but the shore is a unique environment.
May Weekend
