Ignore the weather reports! The sun is out and the temperatures are warm. Even yesterday turned in to a decent day by the afternoon.
Thursday’s storm caused some beach erosion along the Seven Mile Beach- but not as bad as anticipated.
I watched a segment on the Today Show about real estate, and the advice was to buy in an area that will appreciate once the market turns. I believe Avalon and Stone Harbor fit that definition perfectly. We are a popular name brand seashore destination, and therefore a solid, long term investment. Â
 Plus…it’s a beautiful place to live 🙂
 Often it’s the “no name” storms that cause the most concern. The strong north east wind blows the soft sand sideways (ouch- that stings), and causes some beach erosion (that stings even more). We expect a few days worth of high winds, rough seas, and at least one day of heavy rain 🙁
 Another cool windy day at the shore. The trick is to stay in the sun…and out of the wind! I try to plan my walks accordingly- a challenge!
 Vehicles must now be permitted at the point- it was very active there this afternoon with families fishing and just hanging out at the beach. It’s worth the long walk around the end of the island to see a true natural beach.
 The stands are in perfect order next to the 95th Street Life Guard Station. The weather has turned chilly (long sleeve t-shirt needed for my morning walks), but we are bound to have a few more beach days still this fall. 
  
 
 Hard to see in the picture- but this man on the jetty reminded me of Charlton Heston. He was holding on to a metal pole and waving his arms. 
Sunday Sights
Park at 114th Street and Third Avenue, and wander around the park area. Then cross the street to the bay and watch the evening sunset. It’s a very peaceful area of town.
