  • Warmer Wind?

    A strong south breeze (eventually) bringing warmer air to the island.  In the meantime…WINDY at the beach.

  • More Daylight

    Nice to see sunlight (or at least the sunset) as I drive ALLLLL the way home at the end of my workday.  Gives me hope for spring.

    Yesterday, the storm clouds provided amazing views from both the beach and bay side of the island.

  • Perks of the Job

    As an admitted “house stalker”, my job is a perfect fit.  Today, I was able to preview an INCREDIBLE custom home for sale in Stone Harbor.  Over-sized lot with a main house, plus a 2 bedroom guest house. Large pool with adjacent summer kitchen and fireplace/sitting area. Beautifully decorated, too.  Click here  to see the pictures/details.  And then let me know how many times you say “wow”!  Or, even better…if you know someone looking for a special family home.

    Another perk of living/working on the island?  Checking out the ever changing view 🙂

  • Feels Like Spring

    So nice on the beach this morning.  Bright sun and no wind. Even the ocean felt warm (removed my glove to rinse off a piece of sea glass).

  • Beach Treasures

    The warm sun provided encouragement for my morning walk- but glad I layered up!  20 something degrees on the beach.

    As usual after a winter storm, there were plenty of “beach treasures” on the sand: conch shells, sea glass, driftwood…and a decent looking deck chair 😉

  • Saturday Weather

    Heavy rain yesterday, and bright sunshine today.  The strong winds have churned up the bay- causing some minor curbside flooding in the typical low lying areas (at high tide- will recede soon).

    Bay water is even splashing over the bulkhead at the Stone Harbor public marina on 81st Street (the middle picture is the boat ramp into the bay).  Just another ordinary February day at the shore…

  • Beach drive

    Too rainy for a beach walk…thankful for our vehicle beach permit!

    Was able to checkout the completed beach fill project in Avalon – looks amazing. Even at high tide, there is a wide beach protecting our north end (8th Street south to 27th Street).

    I posted pictures on my Twitter account (see right hand column).
