Autumn In Mastic Beach

Summer sands slip through our fingers the leaves turn from green to shades of orange, yellow and red.  Instead of hanging out at the Beach Hut at Smith's Point, we are hiking at our local trails.

The Wertheim, St. Georges Manor and William Floyd Estate are beautiful places to hike during the fall season.  Listen to the birds as you observe the fantastic fall foliage and watch the deer run by. 

We took a hike last week at the Wertheim but I forgot to bring my camera.  I can't wait to go back and get those fabulous shots of the fall foliage reflected on the Carman's River.

Mastic Beach is much more than summer fun - it's a breathtaking place to be in the fall. 

By the way, are you getting ready for Halloween?  I just put up all my harvest decorations and bought pounds of candy in preparation for the trick-or-treating ghosts and goblins.

I'm Back...And So Are The Movies!

I left off talking about the rebuilt Mastic Movieland. I was sick for a couple of weeks and had to take time away from my blogging to recuperate. I'm glad to be back on my feet. I spent time in the yard with my kids and the neighborhood kids this week, exploring the new flowers that sprouted everyday (I just love the sunny faces of our daffodils) and checking out ladybugs.

With the arrival of the weekend, I'd like to finally check out the new movie theater. Everyone is saying how clean and beautiful it is and I can't wait to see it. I did discover the new telephone number to find out the movies playing is 631 657 3297.

We will also definitely be getting an Applebee's soon. I am really excited about this. Imagine a community where you can walk miles of wildlife trails at the Wertheim or the William Floyd then return to the mainstream for movies and burgers? It's coming to our neighborhood and it's all good!
