9-27-21 SHORT HILLS: The Equinox has come and gone, but it’s still warm in the afternoon and cool at night with no AC or heat necessary. There are hints of foliage color here, but the big show is weeks away. We go back to VT for the first few weeks of October this weekend. Between then and now house painters will be here and maybe the basement contractor.
For me last week was exciting. I had a stress test on the treadmill that was easy and stressless, except that it was positive, showing EKG changes that the cardiologist was concerned about. That lead to a cardiac catheterization. I was expecting to be stented, but the arteries were normal. I guess that’s the reward for decades of statins.
We have been walking a lot and went to the South Mountain Recreation Complex for a walk around the reservoir. It’s a flat two miles that we did with the dogs. There were lots of people walking, running, fishing, dog walking, boating and the kiddie park was full. Essex County did a great job with this park. We saw lots of turtles sunning on floating logs and an egret. Yesterday we walked with Bebe and Ronnie in town.
On our walk this morning we saw a few birds flitting around, but it occurred to me that we have no squirrels or chipmunks at all. Pesticides? Herbicides? Epidemic?
