Bruce Davis si the guy who has been putting wheelbarrow-full after wheelbarrow-full on the path around Lake Appert.

He's also the guy who restored the view to the Pena Bench.

Busy guy!

(Thanks, Bruce!)

... and we can't let it go!

A band of 22 Loyalists arrested Founding Father John Fell at his home in Allendale (the part of Paramus) on April 22, 1777.

Colonial reenactors will re-create the event this Sunday, along with other cool colonial stuff!

The reenactment is at 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.

Found this during the cleanup. Sad but interesting.

Can you I.D. the bird? (An easy one.)

The Celery Farm Wild Turkeys were strutting like Mummers this morning.

I counted at least eight. Quite a few of their scrapes around as well.
