Truly Fall
The day is blustery and seasonably crisp. There is a frost warning for Plymouth County tonight. Yesterday brought warmth and a steady offshore breeze for a perfect fall beach walk at Humarock beach.
Normally uneven and rock strewn, the ocean at low tide provided a smooth, wide swath of lightly packed sand like a freshly paved road.
The wind whipped and curled the modest waves which beguiled a couple of surfers.
A bicyclist rode by. We exchanged hellos and nods to other couples. And a few dogs.
Afterwards, we gleaned late season tomatoes from our friends’ garden since they’re traveling in Southeast Asia. It is truly fall.

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
(inspired by the best spring day of 2011; with apologies to Andy Williams’ version)
It's the most wonderful time of the year! The buds are all popping There's nothing that's stopping, It's finally here!!! It's the most wonderful time of the year! It's the hap - happiest time of them all! With the soil full of soiling And ants gladly toiling On peonies tall! It's the hap- happiest time of them all!
Greening shrubs that need pruning, The warblers returning, And breezes no longer so cold. Humming birds begin tuning And daphne's scent looming Like gardens awakening of old It's the most wonderful time of the year! When the bleeding heart's bleeding And dandelion weeding Brings backaches severe! It's the most wonderful time of the year!
I've got shrubs that need pruning, The warblers returning, And breezes no longer so cold. Humming birds' perfect tuning And blossoms ballooning Like gardens awakening of old It's the most wonderful time of the year! It's the most wonderful time of the year!
