  • April Showers…and high tides

    By the way, just 23 days until Memorial Day weekend 😉

  • Monday Morning Blues?

    My definition: the colors of the ocean and sky.  April is FINALLY shaping up.  Hard to believe it’s almost May.

  • That’s Better!

    A perfect spring morning 🙂

  • Dunes Benefit From Ocean Breeze

    The sea breeze (sounds nicer than cold, sustained wind off of the ocean) brings the gift of sand to our beaches and dunes.

    So, in support of this natural occurrence…I will continue to bundle up for my beach walks!

  • Easter Weekend

    Nice long beach walk this morning. Now in work and watching the activity across the street at Avalon Coffee.  The outside chairs are well located to catch the morning sun!

    Enjoy the weekend.

  • Warmer Weekend

    Today…not so much 😉

  • Spring Sea Breeze

    We all know the “Cooler by a Mile” slogan applies in the spring…right?  And a 70 degree weather forecast in April is likely for WEST of island bridges?

    For my early morning walks, I often see visitors in shorts and tee shirts…while I’m wearing a fleece jacket and a hat!

    We will appreciate the sea breeze soon enough.  In the meantime, bring a few extra layers for your time at the beach 🙂

  • $21.00

    For $21 per person, our island beaches are groomed daily, trash and recycling is picked up, and well trained lifeguards keep us safe. Plus, we are welcome to enjoy Avalon and Stone Harbor beaches with the same tag. A bargain.

    The majority of my beach time is during non-tag hours: early morning and evening walks.  And, as residents, we pay our fair share in property taxes.  Yet, I understand the purpose of the revenue, and purchase a handful of tags each season for family and guests.

    Excited to pin these on my beach bag for summer 2014!

  • Stone Harbor Spring Walks

    Walk the beach…admire the Stone Harbor Garden Club’s mini-park (122nd and Second Avenue)…and explore the paths down at the Point (the snowy owl is rumored to still be in residence).
