We are excited to see our summer neighbors return, too  🙂
Early sun…then rain…then bright sunshine…then clouds…and more rain. Â Typical spring weather!
P.S. Â Another heavy downpour and thunder. Â Sounds like a summer storm now…
Started my work day with a long walk on the beach…
The piping plovers have it made: Â their own private beach from 40th Street to 57th Street in Avalon.
The designated area is along the dune line with posted signs- hopefully the birds understand and appreciate the effort  😉
The new sand pumped on to the Stone Harbor beaches is in good shape- even after the quick moving Nor’easter last Tuesday.
In Avalon, the project is set to resume by early next week, adding new sand from 32nd Street and north to 9th Street.
Pictured below: 17th Street in Avalon looking north (on a sunny day last week) ; and 111th Street looking south (today in the rain):
Calm today…stormy tomorrow?
Cold and calm for my early beach walk before a busy work day…
Yes, Â although we LIVE (and work) in a resort town, I appreciate the opportunity to take a quick vacation break before the busy season.
I will be back on duty at the office on Sunday March 12th!
