Shopping craziness
The shopping craziness has begun. Does it get you stressed and uneasy?

Duck Box
Built by a neighbor, a few years ago, the box sits in the phragmites.
I've never actually seen a duck in the nesting box but we do have plenty of ducks on the river.
It is my understanding that this is built specifically for Wood Ducks, and we mainly see Mallards here.
At this time of year, the Buffleheads come to visit, migrating through Long Island, and away from the windy Great South Bay.

Arboretum bench
Just a walk through the arboretum, on a beautiful autumn day.
The leaves are not as vibrant this year due to hurricane Irene and the heavy ice storm last week.
Many trees are bare and any leaves on the trees are just a drab brown color.
In spite of the lack of color, it does have its beauty!

Dutch Christmas at Meadow Croft, 2011
“A DUTCH CHRISTMAS AT MEADOW CROFT”
Bayport Heritage Association invites all local-area residents to their DUTCH CHRISTMAS AT MEADOW CROFT, which will be held on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 3rd, and 4th, 2011, at the Meadow Croft estate located at 299 Middle Road at Brown’s River on the Bayport Sayville border.
Meadow Croft is the 1891 estate of John E. Roosevelt and family. The Roosevelts were, of course, Dutch by ancestry. The house will be decorated in a Victorian/Edwardian motif with beautiful wreaths, poinsettias and greenery magnificently reminiscent of a hundred years ago and tied in with a Dutch flavor.
Musical selections will be played on the original Roosevelt grand piano filling the house with the music of the season.
Upstairs, special exhibits, including electric trains, teddy bears, dolls, vintage clothing, woodcarvings, old-time toys, and Christmas specialties, will be on display for public enjoyment.
Hot chocolate and cookies will add to the coziness of the occasion. St. Nicholas, the Dutch version of Santa Claus, will be there to look up individual children’s names in his ledger and he’ll find out who’s been ‘naughty and nice’ in 2011.
This Dutch Christmas at Meadow Croft is open from noon to 4 PM both days. Admission is only $5 for adults and $3 for seniors & children age 4-12. Not suitable for children under 4 years of age.
All the decorations will be raffled off.
