Is summer really over?

Which sounds better, the end of summer or the beginning of fall? It's not an abrupt end as many people mark the end of summer with Labor Day, others, September 21 and still others, when the leaves change. If you're like us, you remember the beginning of summer, but where did the rest of it go?

As you who follow our blog may remember, we marked the beginning of summer this year with lobster rolls at Jimmies of Savin Rock. Yesterday, we returned to mark the end of summer with more lobster rolls, beer, and a hot fudge sundae chaser. Jimmies has become our favorite warm weather place to eat when we want to mark a milestone in time, no matter how minor.

I'm not sure how much longer they keep the patio overlooking Long Island Sound open for lunch, but Labor Day is gone, we are into October, and the leaves are beginning to change. The temperatures were in the 80s yesterday, and it was sunny, but we are now supposed to have three days of rain and daytime temperatures in the 50s. I think the Labor Day/color-change segway is over, and fall has arrived.
