Movies, Creatures and Fun

"Remarkably Bright Creatures"
 Such an exceptional, heart warming movie that no one is talking about.
New on NetFlix, Sally Field is amazing in this film, if you have not seen it, 
I can guarantee you will love it.  
It is at times sad, there is a bit of happy mixed in, and it sure did make me feel good.

This little "remarkably bright creature" has been sitting right outside my front door all spring.


I believe he was here last year as he has the same habits as the chipmunk from last year.
When he scampers away, he goes to the same area, I believe his home is within the shrubs.
They do not live in trees, they live in highly organized, underground tunnel systems called Burrows.



It seems he eats this entire pile by himself.

I feed him black oil sunflower seeds, he really likes them.

I found this image on google and thought it worth sharing...
this is quite elaborate.

I have enjoyed watching and feeding this creature more than you will ever know!

The Point Pleasant Sweet Shop

 A stop at Jenkinson's Sweet Shop is a must when you visit the Point Pleasant Boardwalk.
The sweet smell of chocolate, cotton candy and homemade fudge evokes a powerful feeling of nostalgia.
My favorite sight...the rows of candy apples and jars of colorful salt water taffy.
Monday...
was the perfect day for a walk on the boardwalk,
with bright sunshine, blue skies and 70 degree temperatures.
It started with a much needed peaceful morning at home, then a drive to Point Pleasant.
 















I smell a lot of cavities...next was a "healthy" meal of boardwalk food.


We shared this sausage sandwich and ate every one of these french fries, this was so good,
and "very healthy", I'm sure.


We drove to the inlet, the ocean was rough, 
the inlet was quiet and I did not see any large fishing boats.
