Posting has been a little light this week. This is the week I get to have my son over, so I’ve been neglecting the blog a bit. Here are some quick hits.

Homes in Babylon
Total: 97
Babylon School District: 62
BSD and Under 600K: 35
Condos/Coops:12

I’ve been meaning to go down and take some pictures at Southards Pond for the last couple weeks, but I’ve either been too busy or haven’t thought of it. Today I took my camera and headed out, despite threatening storm clouds overhead.
