Yesterday was a high summer day here. The temperatures were below 80 (F) with a breeze that provoked involuntary smiles. There was haze on the sea, but cumulonimbus clouds worthy of N.C. Wyeth were performing their now-you-see-it-now-you-don’t trick with the sunshine.
Our fields are now thick with proud Queen Anne’s Lace and emerging Goldenrod. The ponds are mostly carpeted with Fragrant Lily pads and flowers, but with room for clouds to float.
