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.

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.
