This weekend the temperatures soared at the Jersey Shore.
We saw mid 90's and humidity, inland.
It was not even enjoyable to walk around the yard
and take pictures of my beautiful blooming flowers!!
The pool company opened the pool on Saturday,
the water will need a few days to clear up,
so we were not able to enjoy a swim in the pool.
Not wanting to spend Sunday indoors, we headed to the beach
where the temperatures were a tad different,
about 25 degrees cooler on the boardwalk in Spring Lake.
This boardwalk is popular with the locals,
the work is complete, the new boardwalk is done and it looks beautiful!
On nearby Lake Como,
the sea gulls were hanging out on a newly formed sandbar.
and take pictures of my beautiful blooming flowers!!

There were lot's of pretty Mallards,
swimming around in the gorgeous blue waters.
We rode the bikes in Long Branch where they have a dedicated bike path,
had delicious Chinese food at the Red Orange
and headed for the home front, exhausted.
But not too tired to enjoy one of these,
from our favorite Bakery in Spring Lake,

Not so patiently waiting for some heat here. Glad you have it and have been out enjoying June. Love that mallard and those cookies look wonderful!
A 25 degree difference is huge! Glad to see the new boardwalk! Love all the gulls!
I lost everything I read in today's blog, when I spotted those cookies. Were they as good as they looked?
Are these peanut butter cookies I am seeing here???? OMGoodness, yum!!!
It was a hot one here this past weekend too, but you'd never know it was spring today, as this morning when I started out on my run, it was just 36 degrees! Brrrrr.
The shore looks so beautiful Debbie. I would love to live close enough to be able to photograph seagulls. There is just something about them that I love.
Happy day to you!
I hate it when I hit the wrong button and post something before I am ready!!! At least you can edit it and finish it...
I love that mallard! And the cookies look delicious!!!
I love the photos of the horse - stubborn creature!! At least the deer was more cooperative!!
You found a wonderful way to enjoy a hot, hot, hot day!
I've heard about The Scone Pony before, but never checked it out - definitely will now!
