A new trend? Â A local builder recommends installing an artificial grass product around the rear yard pool. Â Low maintenance, and less mess.
I saw an example yesterday- and I have to say- it looks great. Â The property has real grass in the front yard, and artificial grass behind the pool fence. Â A seamless view of green in the summer!
There’s still time to book a summer rental in Avalon or Stone Harbor, NJ.

I took this picture last Friday- the dedicated Stone Harbor lifeguards were bundled up and using the umbrella to block the chilly wind!
Warmer summer temperatures have returned 🙂
On my beach walks, I am able to observe the “ultimate hunters” at work- the osprey.
I watch them dive into the ocean, emerge with a fish securely in their talons, and then fly overhead toward the marsh.
The “ultimate scavengers” (seagulls) follow close behind- just in case the fish manages to wiggle free!

The Borough of Avalon web site: Â Beach Fill UpdateÂ
Once the Strathmere project is complete, the dredge will move to Avalon. Â We should see activity on our north end beaches by the weekend.
(Picture from a 2013 beach fill project)
The sea breeze is often credited for preventing “weather” from ruining a beach day. Â Must be the case again today.
Rain all around…but not in Avalon or Stone Harbor  🙂
