Scene Around: Dawn, Sun Soaking & Sprinkles

Here comes that sun. The sunrise at Monmouth Beach the other day was a good weather omen — one that washes away dank April shower days making way for the warmth of the sun and brighter days ahead.
Sunrise. Soaking up the rays of spring and the serenity of the scene on the shoreline. Dawn. It’s an awakening to a new day. Darkness giving way to light. The full picture — moon and sun.
RFH grad and Monmouth Beach resident Joanne Distefano Garelli captured it. We’re going to see more of that fiery orb this week, starting with today.
So, take it all in and exhale slowly. Keep each ray tucked away as a special “something greater than ourselves” to savor, Garelli said.
Here’s the week’s National Weather Service forecast, calling for sunshine, higher temperatures and a chance of rain mixed in. Time to revel in the light and warmth …

The pandemic put Clean Ocean Action’s Beach Sweeps on stall. It also gave the Sweeps another category of trash to haul — PPE.
So, the Sweeps are blooming again, COVID-19 style, on Saturday morning — a breath of fresh spring air making way for a clean sweep into the summer season on the Jersey shore. The Sweeps have been popular since their inception, longtime Rumsonite and RFH grad Cindy Zipf at the helm of Clean Ocean Action.

Iconic Spot: A Red Horse Trek Back to the ’70s at Fromagerie
Call it a sign of tradition. Rumson locals are seeing red again at the site of the iconic Fromagerie of 1970s fame — Red Horse, by David Burke, that is.
You could say that Burke rode back in on his red horse, to start. Then there’s the actual thematic color pop. The red door and shutters are back and a bit brighter, less burgundy, to signal something old being new again. There’s also a new retro truck parked on the front lawn. Things have come full semi circle, like a horseshoe, at the spot that has been reopened since the end of March. It’s marked a reincarnation of sorts.
