Goodbye, Block Island, beautiful even on a winter’s morning!

This picture from December 1, 2008 looks like a clear view of the sunset sea beyond the sand dunes on the far side of Sachem Pond. But it isn’t. That’s a cloud bank, possibly part of a weather front, rolling in from the west as the sun was setting.

Winter has taken a firm and heavy grip on New England. It’s been snowing here in Boston for the last couple of days, sometimes mixed with rain. There are rain showers on the island.

Ah! Life is good!
