This is a great one-family fully detached home with good bones on a lovely block, situated on a  34’ x 108’ lot, featuring three bedrooms, formal dining room, living room and enclosed heated porch, kitchen with access to deck, patio and back yard!

 

Picture yourself drinking your morning coffee on your deck and listening to the birds in the trees serenade you or enjoying cocktails before dinner.

 

With two means of egress—side entrance as well as rear entrance, it is perfect for entertaining in the spring and summer. The enclosed back yard deck and patio can accommodate seating during your summer barbeques, perhaps a relaxing hammock or a swing set/jungle gym for the kiddies.

Check out the full unfinished basement with laundry room and existing work bench for that do-it-yourselfer; it can be a blank canvas to finish into a man cave, work-out room, kids play room, arts and crafts area or whatever you wish.  The attic is currently being used for storage.

54 Henderson Ave. is a gardener’s delight—lots of land to plant flowers, vegetables and fruit!  If you need assistance in your landscaping needs, you can visit Gerardi’s Market and Nursery on Richmond Terr. just minutes away for an experience like no other.

On Wednesday, I accompanied my grandchildren to an interactive musical production featuring Presley and Melody at the Tottenville Library.  They sing

 

 

 

 

(with words to the songs on a screen so all can sing along), dance and include every child in their production by sharing props—rainbows, blow-up guitars, pom-poms, smiley face paddles. 

Afterwards, each participant was given a goodie bag compliments of the Library and local businesses.  For more information about Presley and Melody, visit their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Presley-and-Melody- or their website www.presleyandmelody.com

My vegetable garden did not do as well as in summers past, but my grandson and I were able to harvest some beans (we ate them immediately after picking), a few small tomatoes, a few green peppers, a bunch of hot peppers, four butternut squashes and lettuce.  Luckily for us, our neighbors have shared their long green Sri Lankan beans which have also attached itself to my Rose of Sharon so we had plenty to keep our bellies filled. Below is the last of the long green beans and tomatoes. 

Even the figs have been slow to ripen.  Now is the time to get your composting sifted and placed on top of your flower and vegetable beds and around your fruit trees.  I was told that next year my apples will be perfect if I prep the soil correctly with compost.  If you…

The Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony of the Staten Island Museum took place on Saturday. The Museum, situated in Building A, is grand with plenty of room to meander throughout the exhibits.  The Mastodon exhibit was a hit as well as the fossils on the first floor!  I loved the art, science and history exhibits.  The Autumn Moon Festival was entertaining with music performances, martial arts demos, dragons in the midst of the audience and a fashion show by the New York Chinese Qipao Association.
