A Different Kind Of Fall ...

After walking at the ocean this afternoon, Sven and I started putting the garden to bed. A beautiful garden requires a lot of work in the fall. Sometimes I wish we had started this bed & breakfast when we were ten years younger. There is so much to do!! And, after this week, our reservations are down. People are frozen in front of their TVs, terrified of the future. Some have lost major amounts of money. Taking a holiday is not on anyone’s mind. Restaurants are cutting down on the days they are open. Usually Wellfleet is full of tourists the first half of October. Not this year. Even the beaches are deserted. It will be a different kind of fall, one full of cold breezes ...
