New Moon Jette

.

.

Rain Toad gulped 3 inches of water in the drizzle this week.

The other night it was very difficult to get the deck door open, it was so swollen with the moisture.

.

The New Moon last Saturday with a storm off shore rotating counter-clockwise brought the spring tide up over the jette rocks at my Fav Beach. I've never witnessed the water so high here.

.

The peak vaca time of the year is at my door step. This week-end I expect the regular summer visitors downstairs again for July, n the R's next door too. It's a sad day indeed if folks have a cottage here n never make it to vacation for Independence Day.

.

Last summer was alot less congested as seasons before, except for the month of July. When they cut it down, economically challenged tourists n summer residents tend to pick this time for the one trip.

.

Last July, my summer neighbor n I conjured an "Outer-Limits" segment where all the merchants n restaurants get ready n wait, but no tourists ever show up! It becomes a ghost town enlikened to the middle of frigid January... in balmy July- How weird would that feel?

Of course the only problem I have with that scenario is the economic hit it would be for everyone locally. I'd love to have this village to myself all July if I didn't have to work... Last year seemed the tourists would never show for awhile, until July. Here we are on the last week of June already-
.

Reality dictates it'll be about three months before I'm alone on a beach again. All trips will take longer, n there'll always be lines at the market. Work orders will double, n I'll get so exhausted keeping up working OT that I may collapse.

.

I'll have more plans keeping me busy. The outdoor noise n constant village festivals n concerts of every sort will rob me of more sleep. I have much to do in the warmer weather, if it ever dries out enough. ESR may slow down a bit when so much else has priority.

.

This is busy season. Time to make the whole year or break-water it...
