14. I love October at the beach here in NC

Temps usually in the mid to upper 70's. Monarch butterflies are migrating through the area. No crowds.

I had hoped to go this week, but waited too long to book a place because I was concerned about a late season hurricane given the busy hurricane season this year. By the time I was confident there wouldn't be a storm coming up the Atlantic, all the houses I was eyeing had been booked for this week. So, I had to come this week, instead.

Ah, well. Even a rainy day at the beach is better than being cooped up in my apartment, which is where I've been all summer.

Who knows? Maybe the rain will magically disappear. Just go away! Where have we heard that?
