Digging the Clams

Oh, the last fleeting days of summer! I have spent so much time tracking the pre-election debates that I've hardly had time to write and illustrate! This photo was snapped just a few short weeks ago at a weekend retreat to the shore with both sets of our parents - and here's a bowl of clams (I can still appreciate the beauty, even though I don't partake) that Jason's dad whipped up for a Sunday lunch. I wonder if we'll be able to afford clams in a few weeks... But summer has slunk away again, and now we're thick into the fall (pictures to come). Thinking about it now, as I'm wrapped up in whatever blankets and slippers I can find, I even miss the humidity.
