After an unsettled weather day Wednesday, the sky cleared just in time for an evening walk. Â Fun to watch the surfers off the 25th Street beach in Avalon.

Quiet Visitors
We are accustomed to summer visitors driving flashy cars and wearing designer clothes.
The nuns on retreat at Villa Maria by the Sea provide a welcome contrast…as do the many Amish families who return year after year.
I took this picture Tuesday evening. Â I didn’t want to be disrespectful, but it was such a beautiful image.

Like Magic
I walked over the beach path early this morning to an embarrassing view of trash and recycling (much of it outside the cans), along with broken beach chairs and umbrellas. Â Evidence of a busy holiday weekend!
By the time I finished my walk and returned back to the path, the trash was gone, and the sand groomed.
One of the reasons we purchase beach tags!

Traditions
Re-posting a picture from 2012 of an annual July 4th tradition:
The Stone Harbor life guards decorate their stands, and rally the crowd on their beach to sing the Star Spangled Banner.
Because the 4th falls on a weekend this year, Â I am limited to looking at pictures and videos on Twittter while at work!

Happy 4th!
Frequently Asked Questions:
1) Will the fireworks go off tonight? Yes, unless it’s pouring rain and/or thunder and lightning storm.  Will share updates on Twitter.  9pm in Avalon at 30th Street beach; just after 9pm in Stone Harbor at 80th Street beach.
2) Any parking tips? Sorry, this is the weekend to walk or ride your bike!
3) Will Kohler’s run out of cream donuts? Probably 😉
4) Is it worthwhile to shop for groceries on the island rather than going out to the Acme?  Definitely!
Have a great weekend!
