Fall has come early this year thanks to Hurricane Irene (aka Tropical Storm Irene).  This is a picture on Hurricane day taken on Grand Avenue in Falmouth.

Grand Avenue - Falmouth Heights Beach

We were fortunate at The Captain’s Manor Inn compared to so many as we only lost our internet, phones and cable for a little over 24 hours.  The storm stirred up so much salt in the air that the tree leaves were coated with the salt which proceeded to suck the moisture right out of the leaves and they have been falling ever since.  Some pictures of the storm impact are shown below as well as a picture of our son Kevin finally getting to trim the front yard boxwood shrubs after doing storm cleanup.
