Remember the first days of school when you were a kid? If you grew up on Cape Cod, or anywhere in New England, you’d be buttoned up in your jacket at 7am, as you could see your breath at the bus stop in the chill air. By 3pm, on the way home, your jacket would be tied around your waist, as beads of sweat dripped from your brow. September is a changeable month to be sure.
The beauty of September on Cape Cod is that the ocean water, which has warmed all summer, provides us a so called “second summer” of warm beautiful afternoons, while our northern neighbors in Boston have already felt the first chill.
Soon enough however, the fall air arrives and we are treated to the old familiar scent of a wood fire in the neighborhood. Local craft fairs crop up, and warm wooly sweaters are again back in vogue.
If you weren’t a fan of the hot, hazy, humid days of summer, September was made just for you. Warm, but not hot, dry days and cool nights are perfect for an extended hike in the woods, or a walk along your favorite beach
