  • Sunday Sights

    Incredible morning for a walk before work.  Warmer temperatures called for a downgrade from my winter jacket to a fleece!

    People out on bikes, lights on in houses, and “open” flags in front of businesses- a true spring weekend at the shore.

  • Beach Wear

    This picture is deceiving. 

    Watching the forecast on TV and checking the outside thermometer can be as well. 

    I often leave the house feeling a bit over-layered for a walk, but I know there can be a major difference in “weather” once I reach the beach! 

    We are grateful for the sun, more moderate temperatures, and signs of spring around the island.  Dress warm, and enjoy the weekend 🙂

  • Stormy Day

    So far…so good. 

    It looks like Avalon and Stone Harbor will miss most of the heavy rain- at least for today.

    The ocean is churning, and lapping the beach paths at high tide. 

    Repeat after me: “it’s almost spring…it’s almost spring…it’s almost spring”  🙂

  • Beach (House) Parking

    The beach parking lot adjacent to the boardwalk in Avalon, NJ serves as a temporary staging area for modular home components.  

    Once the site work is complete, multiple pieces are delivered to the lot and assembled.

    Modular construction has found its niche in our market.  The company reps promote moderate cost savings, and a quick turn around time for completion.

  • Multi-tasking

    Found on my morning walk:  Monday’s newspaper (yesterday’s high winds “delivered” it one block down); 2 swinging storm doors (secured both); fresh salt air and natural vitamin D.

    Chilly temperatures earlier, but less wind and bright sunshine will warm us through the day.

    Thank you for your interest!

  • Sunday Sights

    The “waves” in the sand verify the recent shift in wind direction.

    Spring moisture arrives with the predominate south and southeast winds; keeping  it cooler (and damp!) by the ocean.

    A light drizzle this morning for my walk.  Heavier rain expected later  🙁

  • Another Sunrise Picture

    I took this amazing picture today during my morning walk, and posted it on Twitter.  Decided to share it on my blog, too.

    Incredible views and fresh salt air air motivate me to bundle up for the beach each day…plus cheaper than joining a gym 😉

  • Saturday Sunrise

    Welcome to March!

    Spring at the shore is typically a few degrees colder than on the mainland. And, there’s that “wee bit of dampness” in the air (must be why the Irish love the shore??)

    Have a great weekend…

  • New Sand Coming

    As detailed on the Shore News Today twitter feed:  http://shorenewstoday.com/

    Avalon and Stone Harbor, NJ will benefit from an emergency beach fill program funded through the Army Corps of Engineers.

    In Avalon, the beaches between 16th and 30th Street will receive new sand.  In Stone Harbor, sand will be pumped on the beaches 90th Street south to the last jetty adjacent to the point.  Non-emergency funds will be used to add additional sand north of 90th Street.

    I will provide updates on this major project through the spring.
