Sunday Sights
The sun has returned! Â AND temperatures remain moderate.
Unfortunately, this will be the day of discovery for broken water pipes. Â Now that the streets/sidewalks have dried, standing water around a property will be more obvious.Two tips for seasonal property owners:
1) Install a whole house water shut off valve. Â It won’t prevent a freeze, but it will lessen damage from running water.
2) Hire a winter watch service if you are unable to check your property on a regular basis.
If you need suggestions for either (or both), I am happy to help with recommendations.

Dune Grass Planting
I’ve written about my personal experience with dune grass planting as a child growing up on the island.  Needless to say, our finished product looked a bit different than the symmetrical rows pictured!
The dune grass planting is the final phase of our recent beach/dune restoration project.

To The Beach!
Hoping for a clear view of the NASA rocket launch tonight.  Follow  @NASA_Wallops  on Twitter for updates.  I will be live tweeting, too @anndelaneybeach
Launch window: Â 7:30pm to 9:30pm. Â Find an area with minimal artificial light (like the beach!) and look south.
P.S.  We were joined by quite a few others at Stone Harbor Point- ideal location for an unobstructed view.  Launch was at 8:15pm, and we watched the rocket  appear from across the inlet, veer over the ocean for several minutes…before fading away.  Cool!  Â

Beach Parking
The fishermen are out in full force at Stone Harbor Point…waiting for the striped bass to arrive.
A nice distraction this morning- dolphins feeding just past the wave break. One of the fisherman said dolphins will scare away the stripers, but he was enjoying the rare November sight.

Fall Colors
Yes, we have fall colors at the beach. Â The high dunes and lush beach paths in Avalon…and the Bird Sanctuary and the Point in Stone Harbor offer beautiful views this time of year.
