The weather finally flipped, educators get a three day weekend, and the grills are still working as they do. Kathy and Michael invited me over for corn-hole and burgers, and Edem came along to be my partner. They have a beautiful back porch and yard, so we ate outside, threw a few beanbags, then walked down to the beach for the firework display, needing sweatshirts to cut the chill from the westward flowing winds.
Nice job West Haven and New Haven. West Fest fireworks were nicely done, and there were just the right amount to get ya from feeling antsy and like you want to stab your eyes out.
I can't say I've watched fireworks over the Long Island Sound before, but it was wonderful to see the lights flickering on the lapping waves coming in. Michael was a master on the grill, too, and it might be the best burger I've had all summer (of course, pickles help and fresh buns).
The Silvers have a great space in West Haven and make the most of it...great hosts, wonderful home, phenomenal backyard, and great location to get away for a little while...to catch up.
Definitely feeling Fall in the air though...just like that after a horrifically hot several weeks. We are entering open windows sleeping and hoodies weather.
I'm all in.
Happy Sunday, Y'all.
