10-26-14 SHORT HILLS: I’ve been doing clean-up/close-up stuff here including hose draining and storage, removing dead-fall, peony leaf removal, minor pruning.
The little southern magnolia has produced seeds, something the big tree has never done, so I scattered some of them in places that, I think, would welcome such a tree. The holly berries are red, maples and burning bush are turning, the ash are bare. Here in the burbs the color is good.
We had dinner with Robert and Barbara a few nights ago in Livingston. Yesterday we went down the shore to Lavallette to see Christine and Bob at their beach house. We haven’t seen them since they moved to Philly. They have three cats, and astoundingly, all the cats are friendly.
The recovery from Sandy is continuing. There is road construction, sewer work, home repairs and new homes replacing destroyed ones. The beach dunes are still being rebuilt. The beach was clean at low tide, the birds were busy, there were walkers, sunbathers, fisher folk and one intrepid swimmer.
Today we dog walked in Short Hills with Bebe and Ronny.
Atlantic at Lavallette. The beach was actually pretty busy with walkers, one swimmer, fishermen.
