done with the replenishment

The guys took their toys and left.  We still have a depressed area just to the north of our stairs where they didn't fill in because of some supposed bird who was nesting in the wall in late August/early September.  This is NJ, mind you.  Birds don't nest here at this time of year. 

Time and tide will fill in the space without human intervention.  Meanwhile, it's become a favorite spot to be on the beach and out of the wind, and the kids and dogs enjoy racing up and down the hill.  Pablo spent the whole afternoon on the beach with his nieces and one of their friends, with the accompaniment of another dog he has met before.  I stayed in and tried to work, with limited success.

So he is pooped out, while I am wide awake, and need to get up at 6.00 for work tomorrow.  Oh well.

Nice evening view of the beach, empty now, the freeloaders are mostly gone.
