Theater : "Sound of Music" in Oak Bluffs
Even without the sweeping vista of the Austrian Alps, the hills still managed to come alive this past weekend as the Oak Bluffs School presented a joyful production of “The Sound of Music.”
An unseen side of Vineyard life
“The Mud of the Place,” Susanna Sturgis’s first novel, is well named. The title comes from Grace Paley, who absolutely ruled the chic Manhattan social order in the 70s and 80s. She said: “If your feet aren’t in the mud of the place, you better watch where your mouth is.”

Traditional Tastes
Touches of observed traditions, whether sights, sounds, or tastes, provide the continuity on which our holiday memories are strung. Each family has its own observances: traditional centerpieces, music, sequences, rituals — even who sits in what chair at the dining room table becomes meaningful when repeated year after year. But whether they are simple and sweet, or elaborately prepared, nothing is more affecting than the traditional holiday dishes we serve.

One Halloween I dressed up as a vampire. Ghoulish make-up. Fake blood dripping from my mouth. It was fun...until a terminally ill dog arrived.
Winter’s a blast at Martha's Vineyard libraries
Look for a lot more than books at the Island’s libraries this winter. New programming runs the gamut from a series on genealogy in Vineyard Haven to how town government works in Edgartown.
Breakwater News : Winter scenes
There is slack. The election is over. There is a noticeable air of hope that is, after all, eternal. And up the rail at Gannon and Benjamin came KLANG II.
Garden Notes : Tidy up and get cooking
