HEREFORD INLET

As you may have noticed, I got tired of seeing myself in that hat, and decided to put on a different picture. I was a lot cuter in 1937, so that's the one I chose.



One day last week I decided to take myself up to North Wildwood to see if they have begun planting the gardens around Hereford Inlet Lighthouse. I found on the way that no one has started planting in the gardens all along Central Avenue, although the ground is prepared.

When I reached the lighthouse it was obvious that I should have made the trip a couple of weeks earlier to see hundreds of daffodils. All gone now. But other plantings have been done, and I'll be looking forward to them in a few weeks. Meantime, there are lots of pansies and other small annuals.

And the herb garden is full of chives.
One beautiful tree is in bloom around back, near the band stand.


And there are many pretty corners, flowers or not.


This is what I'm looking forward to later this summer - how it looked a couple of years ago.


I always enjoy it, blooming or not, every season of the year.


Here is the path leading up to the water, where you can view Champagne Island. Lots of shore birds nesting on the island. Hopefully, increased patrols will keep boaters and their dogs off the island this year, and give the birds a fighting chance.




Any time you find yourself in the area, especially in the summer time, Hereford Inlet is a lovely place to spend an hour or two. The lighthouse itself is pretty interesting too, inside and out.
