Today is raining and dreary here on the Outer Banks, but we do need the rain actually. It has been very dry for several weeks. The dogwood trees in my yard are getting colorful with their leaves and berries turning red. The days have been just slightly nippy and the nights a little cool but nothing to complain about. Manteo was SO crowded today! I guess even in the off season, rainy, cloudy weather brings the touring public over to shop and site see away from the beach. It appears to be a very good year for the merchants of the downtown Manteo area. There are more neat little shops there now than ever. One night in the late summer we went downtown in the evening after dinner just to walk around, and were amazed at the number of people there just milling around. There were two musical groups playing at eating establishments close to each other. It was interesting just to sit on the bench in front of the courthouse and people watch. What a different time it is in my little town!
