October first

It's all about pumpkin festivals and new rules on the beach.  It is October, and Fall and Second Season (also called shoulder season here.....don't ask me why).   And the weather is finally cool and muggy-free!  All good.......

Here we are at the first pumpkin festival at the beach.  It is on our local fire house grounds and features many of our favorite restaurants, bake sales, crafts, magic, kid games.....something for everyone!  Jim is having some delish cream of crab soup from Cafe 26.

Dogs are now allowed on the beach again until next spring.  Our neighbor Toby is enjoying his treat as he "touches" the end of the boardwalk.  We think this is a cute trick as we see many human walkers doing the same thing.
