Your First Visit Will Surprise You

Y

our first visit will be a surprise.  Mt. Laurel has all the charm of a village in England or of a community like Seaside, FL. This development is definitely not one where the developer went in and mowed down every tree in sight.  As you wind around the neighborhoods, you will see that there are parks and playgrounds and all the nature you could ever want.  Community basketball courts, for example are surrounded by trees, not just a big open parking lot look.  The town center offers charming shops and restaurants and tons of community activities.  One of my Friday night (or Tuesday night or Wednesday…) favorites is a pizza and a beer or two at Area 41 Pizza Co. Restaurant.

(Editor’s note:  “Tensegrity” is a term made by combining the words “tension” and “structural integrity.” Snelson calls this kind of sculpture “floating compression.”)

Spring Is Here!

W

ow!  Every day presents a new flower!  Trees are waking up and birds are singing.  Truly a beautiful time of year, especially appreciated because of the unusually cold winter.  Within Sparta and the surrounding areas, there are many lake communities.  People who live around them are starting to put their boats in the water and work on their docks.  Migrating swans and geese are flying through, but some are staying and laying claim to their own spots to raise their families.  If you have never been to Sussex County, now is the time to discover a very remarkable area. Happy Spring!

Ontario Lakefront and Wonderful Summer Pleasures to Come!

O

n a rainy day at end of April, I took photos of a few wonderful spots in Wilson, which borders Lake Ontario. The town of Wilson also has a quaint village. Even though the photos looked rain dreary, I was instilled with a wistful feeling of days that are so soon to come. Restaurants, beaches, piers, sailboats, waterfront shops, outdoor music, outdoor dining and dancing. The summer temperatures cannot arrive soon enough. A winning combination for pure pleasure; warm weather and water. Wilson has so many delights! Stay tuned for warm weather sunshine filled photos!
