the not so endless summer

It feels like summer season on Ocracoke Island is winding down.  Vacation homes are still full, and people are bobbing in the ocean, escaping the heat, but the tell tales exist.  Locals are talking about how we only have a few weeks until Labor Day.  People are making plans to get together when things are a little quieter.  College students have departed, so we're all pulling a few more doubles to make up for the reduced workforce.  Discussions about the annual fall housing shuffle have begun. 

I spent a lovely morning at the Campground beach, drifting and reading.  Get out there!  Summer doesn't last forever.
