New England Weather and the Ocean's Shifting Mood
As the sun began to set, however, the wind shifted; temperature dropped dramatically leaving a cold chill in the air. This is not unusual given that Seaward Inn is directly on the ocean. It is on the cutting edge of the weather.
"Better put on a sweater as it's gotten quite chilly out there" said Suzanne, our housekeeper, as I was leaving work for the day.
As I was getting into my car I saw an elderly couple, guests of the Inn, struggling with a large blanket. I waited to see what they were up to and make sure they were O.K. They proceeded over to the oceanfront landing across the street. Further struggle with the blanket ensued as they sat on one of our benches wrapping the blanket completely around them, cocoon style, leaving only their faces to the open air. What a picture!
Despite the weather, or perhaps, because of it, they lovingly wanted to savor their time together, enjoying every minute of the ocean 's shifting moods.
MEMORIES! If I only had a camera with me! It was a beautiful and touching sight.
