Woke up this morning and glanced out the window toward Buck Island. Wind picked up last night, after several days of calm. Sky’s were uncharacteristically gray and the sea had a slight blue grey tint to it. Wafting showers passed through earlier, a tiny swell broke lazily over a hidden reef.
It reminded me of an entirely different place. An early Fall view of the Atlantic from a south facing beach on Long Island NY.
But then I stepped outside and could feel right away it couldn’t be below eighty degrees. As the final cherished drips fell into my coffeemakers decanter, a sigh of relief washed over me....

I used to live on Long Island around 2000-2003 in west babylon and south huntington. Really enjoyed my time there. 🙂

But I bet you don’t miss the crowds, the taxes, and the attitudes.

Miss my friends, but most moved from there. Visit a few in Carle Place every other year, but no I do not miss it. I still live in NY, but the other side, so the taxes are still there and the NYC attitude can stay there ? .

singlefin, that was so poetic and summed up my feelings as well.
And...the bigger sigh of relief is from the end of the hurricane season!!!!
