Day 14.231: Exile #2's Sunday Column #359

On the beach yesterday, it definitely felt like nature was sending the message that summer vacation is officially over. A few people were gamely swimming, although the ocean looked a lot more like soup than usual (and a hearty one at that).

There have been other hints. The sudden uptick in emails about everything school: schedules, lunch money, school bussing, and the first visit to pick up iPads.

Meanwhile, action has been necessary in the garden, as more tomatoes have fallen to the nocturnal nibbler. The creature has very good taste, going for the delicious German Queen variety. I’m hoping they will be somewhat put off by having to gnaw through a pair of tights first.
Current state of some of the garden - defensive tights not pictured.
