Well, after a long raining spring, summer is finally here, or isn’t. Our Bob Nixon head to the beach today and was shocked what he found. Here’s Bob.


Old plum, suave warm July, sun for tending, sand for digging, but wait, what’s this.

There is no great indication of the kind of cool summer we’ve had so far. Then to find even on a warm day, a kid who brings a solar blanket to the beach. Her name is Anna Durane, nine years old and when she headed off the Spanish Banks, she came prepared.

“It came to me, I have it.”

“Where do you keep it?”

“In my room. I got it when I were camping and it was really cold day, winter.”

And that is the turned out, she needed it. Sure it was sunny, but the ocean side temprerature never make it to 20 degrees.

“You needed it to a day like this?”

“After you go into the water.”

“How cold you are? How cold was the water?”

“It was actually quite warm, but the wind is kind of strong.”

Shelving not far away is her cousin Katie, wet from the sea and used to the tropics.

“It’s very cold, it’s always raining.”

“Where’re you from?”

“Toronto.”

“How is the weather there?”

“It’s very, very warm, like 30 degrees all the time.”

“You mad a big mistake to coming here?”

“No, it’s fine, it’s just cold.”

Let us hope that is about to change and Anna can put away her solar blanket into summer storage.

“You know it’s gotta be that cold?”

“No. I just like making forts with it. It works.”
