SIMPLY SUMMER
Summer Breezes
The summer season is well underway. The umbrellas have sprouted on the beaches and tra c is tying up every intersection in town. The good, the bad and the strangely Cape Cod have descended upon us in their annual profusion. Bridge traffic, that perennial topic of discussion, is front and center this year for the crowds queued up to enter the Cape as plans are underway to replace two aging spans. The wait is worth it.
This summer we mark the nation’s 250 birthday. The Fourth of July will feature more this year to celebrate our nation’s founding and, of course, capped off by the illumination of fi reworks over the water.
This summer promises some heat and sun-perfect days for the beach. Those breezy afternoons beckon us to the shore a er a long day of looking for the best fried clams or ice cream. We turn to the songs of summer to bring in the season and stroll Main Street, still a presence on the Cape, for inspiration.
It is nice to live, work or visit a place that offers so much to do in the summer or, if you prefer, so many places to get away right here in our backyard.
