[...] It would have been nice, if—hello!–it not been OCTOBER 18th! This is the time of year when a person is still strolling through apple orchards and bringing home a bushel of Macouns to make apple crisp. We’re still supposed to be picking the very last of the really great tomatoes off the vines. In fact, until last week, I was still going to the beach, and calling it nature’s hospital! [...]

Oh, it’s October now and I only went to the beach twice this summer. How sad! I also grew up on the beaches of Southern California. You reminded me of sitting on the beach, cold and shivering, at 5:30 am watching the surfers. I’d be wrapped up in a blanket, my hands around a cup of coffee, and a box of Beach Donuts next to me. Thanks for taking me back.

Hi Sandi — thanks for popping into my blog. Here’s hoping you made it through your first-page blahs. (Actually, it’s nice to know that experienced novelists also run into troubles — does it ever get any easier?)

I love the beach. I don’t even need to swim when I’m there, though I often do. Just sitting on the shore and watching – and listening to – the waves is so calming and lovely.

I’ve found the desert can be that way, too, especially in the early mornings or evenings. And the mountains, too, have their pleasures. Isn’t nature wonderful?

Throw. I meant throw. I think my brain is getting moldy.

Stephanie is a genius. Ive found that in this summer of constant rain it’s almost just as healing to through on a slicker once a day and walk within sight of the beach. Anyway, I’m not sure my insurance plan covers actually *sitting* on it, but if the sun ever comes to New England again, I’m going to give it a try.

I LOVE the beach….and we bought our passes, but it seems that every time we have time to go to the beach it’s raining
