Mild November.

11-10-21 SHORT HILLS: We had no takers for Halloween, disappointing, now we have to eat all the candy. The weather has been beautiful. The sun lights up the autumn foliage, especially the burning bushes. We have just had a couple of morning temps below 30° for the first time this fall.

I forgot to post pix from our visit to Seaside Park, so I’ll put up a couple today. 

We had dinner with Bob and Chris last week. I had a lunch with Bill this week, and over the weekend we went to Alan’s 80^th at the Gladstone Tavern.

We are getting occasional birds now, but the mobs we expect at the feeders are not here. I have to assume the bird population is in decline. 

We go to VT tomorrow for fall clean up and to meet some people who have expressed interest in garden maintenance for the future.

Looking north on the beach. That's Seaside Heights amusements in the distance.

A bunch of mallards at a rest stop on the trip south.

A lone Chickadee at the feeder.

Burning bushes have cornered the market for red. That's Bally and Blanca at the gate waiting for Judy to come back from the market.
