It's Happening

 An awakening of sorts...

the days are longer, the temperatures are warmer and the birds are singing louder.

The bulbs we planted in the fall are popping up through the earth.

It's time to turn to the garden, clean up the beds and do a little pruning.

The Crocus bloom first...and yesterday they looked like this.

The Daffodils are making an appearance and will be blooming soon.

The Swans have returned to Lake of the Lilies...

and the Osprey have returned to Spring Lake captured here with it's half eaten fish.

And the sunsets lately...

have taken my breath away.

Spring is coming and it's going to be great.

A 2025 Cardboard Odessey

 at the Art Spot on the Asbury Park Boardwalk.

The exhibition, small but impressive, features immersive cardboard creations

by Michael LaValle, also known as Porkchop.

Made exclusively with leftover cardboard from other works of art,

it is making an "Anti AI" statement.

This is a "new to me" 3-D mural on the boardwalk in Asbury that is spectacular.

Look closely, so you do not miss all of the artistry.

The mural is massive.

You can't visit Asbury Park, without a drive past the legendary Stone Pony...

there was rock music in the air.

We had dinner at Mr. Shrimp Seafood

They have the most amazing lighting...

and a grand sense of humor.

The hubs had Fried Shrimp...

and I had Lobster Franchise...it was divine.

One whole Lobster Tail, cut into 4 pieces...that probably came in on the boat that day.

The weather was warm and we had a great weekend!
