LIFE IN NEW JERSEY: It’s acorn time again. ‘Ouch’ is a common part of my speech at this time of the year (mid-September) as acorns start raining down with regularity, during the early phase of Fall. As I rubbed my forehead this morning, it struck me that this is just one of many repeating seasonal […] Continue reading →
LIFE IN NEW JERSEY: With consistently hot and humid weather throughout June, July and August, summer storms in NJ are a pretty frequent event. They can be anything from heavy rainstorms to thunderstorms with wind, rain, thunder and lightning or they can be much more severe. Rain and Thunderstorms Rain and thunderstorms seem to occur regularly in the Garden […] Continue reading →
LIFE IN NEW JERSEY: Coming from Australia, I have always looked forward to winter in New Jersey because the thought of snow was a huge novelty. The famous little jingle, ’let it snow, let it snow, let it snow’ starts to ring in my head as soon as the weather gets really cold in […] Continue reading →
LIFE IN NEW JERSEY: What makes Fall in New Jersey my favourite season? It’s not the festivals or the food or the weather.

But it sure doesn’t feel like it then. The weather is still cold and there is always the possibility […] Continue reading →
LIFE IN NEW JERSEY: Snow in March? I didn’t think that really happened here. But it did last week and once again turned parts of New Jersey including my local town, into a breath-taking winter wonderland. I know you’re all probably sick of my continous rambling on about the beauty of snow here. However, I’m severely addicted it […] Continue reading →
LIFE IN NEW JERSEY: OK. If I were a smart aleck (well yes, some of my friends have actually mentioned that to me before), then I would probably respond to the title of this post with something like ‘Here’s a tip…turn up the heat inside, put on a good movie and open a bottle of […] Continue reading →
LIFE IN NEW JERSEY: Well, yes, it’s cold. But not as bad as most people probably think. Mind you, if you are relocating from Australia or some other sunny climate, winter in New Jersey is going to feel a little like the Arctic initially. Strictly speaking, winter doesn’t officially start until December 21stor 22nd. The […] Continue reading →
