Reasons to Be Cheerful, Part Two: The Beach

This weekend we were finally delivered three relatively good weather days, including the hottest day so far this summer, 82 degrees. Whoohoo! Well, we went to Cupsogue Beach in Westhampton to remind us why we love summer on Long Island. It really was not as crowded as I expected for a Saturday. Though it was a nice sunny day, it did not have the underlying swelter that compels one to "run" to the beach. After all, we are still below our normal highs.

Here we are well into July and still the dog days of summer are yet to reveal themselves. Even a look at the 10 day forecast shows no hopeful signs; rain for the next 2 days and isolated or scattered thunderstorms for the subsequent 8. Oh well. Hopefully August delivers because we live for the beach.
