Hello Everyone! Wow, I can’t believe it is the end of July already – summer is just flying by! And the weather has been unusually reasonable for mid-summer in New Jersey. The humidity and temperature will be climbing for a few days but should moderate by mid-week. We are hoping for a little rain – emphasis on a little!
