Sunday, was a blustery low 40 degree day in Central New Jersey. Saturday had been a warm and sunny 70.
No, I am not a weather commentator, just a "Returning Jersey Girl" taking in the wonder of an early winter day after spending last winter in sunny Naples Florida.
Saw a bumper sticker there once it said "Jersey Girls don't pump Gas"
My blood is slowly thickening to the cooler Jersey weather, especially after the early snowfall in mid October.
Yesterday was a farm day reminiscent of past farm days in Central New Jersey from prior years. I spent most of the day and evening outside. I did some raking and mucking and laid down straw for the animals. Quality time with the horses feeding them carrots and doing some other chores before cleaning up to go out to one of my favorite restaurants in the Princeton Area.
Tigers Tail is a local favorite in Princeton, just over the Montgomery Township border on Route 206 and one of my favorites. It has a nice oval bar area with high top tables and televisions broadcasting Sunday Football Games.
The dining room is warm and inviting with the menus on the walls chalkboard. Families after soccer games and couples catching up with parents all frequent on an early Sunday evening. Casual Dining and great food with good portions and nice size "beverages".
The table in back of us had a party of eight male Princeton fraternity glee club members. After they received their bill and decided who was paying for what, they called the waitress over, sat her in a chair and sang to her. They were on their knees, different ranges and keys and THEY WERE GREAT. (if I was better versed I would have known what they were singing) Everyone clapped and the waitress blushed.
Central New Jersey, Mercer County and Hunterdon is a Great area to live, close to Princeton and the beautiful rolling hills of the Hopewells and Amwells, not to mention all the small towns along the way. There is so much to offer in culture, diversity, education, entertainment and housing; from townhouses and condos to estate homes and farms.
Later in the evening I was outside with the dog, cats and horses. There was an almost full moon with a beautiful star lit sky and I could hear the soft hoot of the Owl. Absolutely beautiful and magical it was so peaceful, to think I was the one that use to complain about the cold and winter weather (and that fresh cold air really made me sleep soundly through the night)
