August 23, 2013 - CAMP Arts by Doug Yetter

The Best of Times

This lyric from a Jerry Herman song hit me smack between the eyes the other day—“What’s left of summer but a faded rose?” Perhaps not all that’s left, but change is certainly in the air with children heading back to school, the tourist trade slacking off a bit, and the odd shift in our weather recently! Make the most of these days, as fall is definitely on the way. All locations are Rehoboth Beach, unless otherwise noted.
