So far, so good.

1.
Take the canoe out on Green Turtle Pond.
CHECK!

A stop at Jessie’s Deli for a pre-paddle breakfast New Jersey style: Taylor ham-egg-and cheese-on a hard roll. (Taylor ham is special to New Jersey and the closest thing I can think of to it would be Spam!)

On the pond the water was like a mirror.

This Great Blue Heron was enjoying the pond as well.

Until we disturbed him!

2.
Eat fresh figs.
Wrap them with pancetta and grill/broil them and drink Prosecco!
CHECK!

3.
Camp out Saturday night on the air mattress in the cabana by the pool.
NOT YET! It looks like maybe some rain is headed our way so we might have to postpone.

4.
Hopefully swim some.
CHECK! After lunch, 30 lengths of the pool in 75 degree water.

5.
Maybe dress up in our renaissance garb and head to the Ren Faire.
STILL TO BE DECIDED UPON! Check back tomorrow.

This little hummingbird was a surprise bonus in my flower shot!

Our plans for the weekend our pretty simple.

1.
Take the canoe out on Green Turtle Pond.
We didn’t even take it out once last year because of my muscle problems, and not yet this year. Bad us.

2.
Eat fresh figs. (They are ripening at a fast pace this year!)
Wrap them with pancetta and grill/broil them and drink Prosecco!

3.
Camp out Saturday night on the air mattress in the cabana by the pool. (For a few hours at least!)

4.
Hopefully swim some. (Although the pool temp has dropped drastically.)

5.
Maybe dress up in our renaissance garb and head to the Ren Faire.
Drink mead. Watch bawdy shows.

I’ll keep you posted on how well we do following our plans!

No safety line. No parachute. Incredible!

Fearless.

He wasn’t real but he caught my eye anyway.

We gave in and went to the air show on Sunday after watching a half-show over our house on Saturday. (Have I mentioned before that we live very close to this small airport?) We gave in to the noise and decided to join the mob of people that also thought it was a good idea for a Sunday afternoon. I also thought it was a good place to practice some of my recently learned photography skills. (My camera hasn’t been on any auto modes for weeks!)

The show was enjoyed by young and old. I could not resist this little cutie’s face!

Too bad the day was not as nice as the day before. We only got a quick glimpse at a blue sky through all the low cloud cover.

I thought this photo was a funny juxtaposition with the commercial airliner on his descent in to Newark airpot in the background. Biplane to jet in one fell swoop!

More to come in the next couple of days! I sure hope you like aircraft and aerobatics!
