My Daily Travels

I have written before about the many animals that visit our yard, and while most are welcome to feast on the feed and seed that I leave out for them, skunks and snakes are most definitely not welcome to partake. This morning I was greeted with a hazy sky that almost nearly blocked my bridge and... Sign in to see full entry.

I have several different varieties of flowers in my yard that we have planted over the past nine years that we have lived in our home. Not that I am complaining, but once in a while, I find new flowers that I know I didn't plant, but there they are despite that fact. My best guess is that the many... Sign in to see full entry.

As seen in the photo below, there was a heavy stream of foot, car, and horse & buggy traffic along the Bellefield Bridge heading to and from the baseball game during the summer of 1909.

John and I usually opt for one of our favorite pizzas on Friday, but today we are headed to our favorite Mexican restaurant for the enchilada platter that comes with a taco, rice, and beans. Our two... Sign in to see full entry.

Starting in early June, weather permitting, my borough holds free outdoor concerts with a different band each Thursday that plays everything from country music to oldies, and rock. The town closes Plum Street, which is one of the most historic streets in Elizabeth due to the old red brick that has... Sign in to see full entry.

When I was about six years old a tick lodged itself inside of my ear, which is not surprising since I played outdoors on most days. The little nasty critters not only hide in the woods but they can also be found hiding away in plants and shrubbery in the yard. They easily attach themselves to your... Sign in to see full entry.
