A wind off the ocean

I guess it's not summer anymore, which is a good thing, in my opinion.  Yesterday's picture, since today there are clouds and a wind off the ocean still, but less differentiation, more a solid grey with glary light.  Last evening it rained for a bit, enough to discourage holiday cookouts, even the hearty who thought to set up tents finally packed it in and went inside.  We were with family having the traditional Labor Day lasagna, which fortunately is an indoor event.  There's a story there, but I'm not entirely sure what it might be.  Suffice it to say we discovered Pablo likes lasagna.  He's not Italian (he's a Chihuahua), and neither are we, but lasagna is universal.

From the weather maps, this seems to be the edge of what's left of Issac, coming out of the midwest.  I'm not sure how that creates a wind off the ocean, though, unless we are trying desperately to fill in the low pressure area that is what remains of the former hurricane.  Seems to me that action might keep the rain somewhat more inland, but this morning's walk was shortened because of the drizzle or spray or whatever you'd like to call the water that was hanging in the air.  Misting, perhaps, or what I used to call dismalling, back in the day.

With a little bit of luck, it will clear up sometime later, so we can have a long walk, since we get testy if we are not adequately exercised.  Fortunately or not, Pablo does not "do" water, so if there is rain, we mainly stay inside.  

It amazes me how quickly the season can turn, yesterday summer, today something else.  Like someone flipped a switch.  And it seems the switch will stay flipped, at least the next few days.  It's supposed to rain every day this week.  Sure, we could use the rain, but other places could use it more.  I'd like to share....
