This is a view of Provincetown, MA that I've never seen in person - snow along Commercial Street. Part of me would love to be there in the winter, when Summer's denizens have long been gone. Yet, I'm glad I'm not there, as none of the things I love about the town are available without its Summer visitors.

I've been in P'town during the other 3 seasons of the year, and love the vibe there. This is when the artist community is in residence, and when one can enjoy the town to its fullest. Years ago, I went there with my late wife, and stayed at a hotel at the far end of the main drag. After she died, I stayed in the heart of town with Patty, my ex-girlfriend. And I've been there with other people close to my heart.
The only time I've been there towards the end of the season is when I once attended Fantasia Fair. Even though I was there for only 3 days, I made some acquaintances I'm still in contact with to this day.

Over the past few days, it was cold enough for some patches of snow to survive on the ground. But it felt colder than that because of the wind chill. If it were warmer, I'd have tried on some new tights from Sheertex to see how they feel. Unfortunately, I will have to wait for a while - just like the people of P'town will need to wait for the tourists to come back.
Once the weather gets a little warmer, I will be back in dresses and enjoying the world outside. I look forward to taking a day or two outside of peak season and take RQS there for a short stay. Maybe she'll understand why I love this area - especially outside of peak season.
